Frequently Asked Questions in "Support, Feedback and Bugs."

Make sure your question isn't answered here before posting,

This is a compilation of almost every single question that I see commonly asked. Me and Auvreaeath have both made threads regarding this before, but both are now dead. This list will be updated almost daily, with new help and extra questions. If you have any questions that you wish to be added to this, then please PM me them.

FM's & GM's - add questions if you want. <3

I died and became a wandering soul!!

This has become a lot less common with the arrival of Aegis 2.0, however if this does happen, then you should contact a Game-Moderator / Game-Master via the Forums, TeamSpeak or /tell . You are normally requested to provide a link to your Implemented / Accepted application, so make sure you include this when you ask them for help.

I was stolen from?

Stealing in protected land is illegal in Asulon, unless the thief is an Accepted-Villain for "Evil: 1". There isn't any way for the GM's to determine who the thief was, unless; a) you caught them in the act B) They griefed or broke any blocks whilst they were comitting theft or c) They admitted it to you. However, stealing in the wilds of up to 25% of a chest/house's items is permitted, by any regular member. If the thief takes an excess of 25% of the items, then they are liable for punishment, for breaking the server rules. It is common belief amongst some server members that the GM's can log who opened which chest, yes, they used to be able to, but no longer is it possible. Only /modreq if you know the person doesn't have an accepted villain application for the crime comitted or if they griefed to get access to your home.

Someone griefed my house! What am I meant to do?

Griefing is against the server rules, so the player who comitted the grief will be punished for it. Type "/modreq My home was griefed, the griefer smashed the windows and walls." You of course, change this to whatever the situation is for yourself. A GM may take a short while to reply, but they'll be as quick as they can. Once they've arrived they will check who griefed your house, and will give you a choice on whether the player should recieve a warning, or a ban. Depending on the severity of the grief, the GM can either ban in-game, or they will ask you to post a ban report, where they will provide screenshots of the broken block's logs.

My modreq wasn't answered...

The GM's always have a large amount of /modreq's to respond to, and they can't go through them all extremely quickly, as some require a lot of time to be dealt with. Under no circumstances, send a second modreq, this makes the system messy, confusing and inefficient. Most modreq's will be responded to within an hour of posting, however some may take longer. See "What is a "ModReq"?" for information about modreq's.

What is a "ModReq"?

A modreq is a Moderator Request. These can be filed in-game, when you need the assistance of a Game-Moderator (GM). A "ModReq" can be sent by typing the command "/modreq [what you need]". (e.g. "/modreq I've been griefed, the windows are smashed, as is the wall."). Try and be as detailed as you can in your ModReq. Once your ModReq has been sent, a GM can teleport to the location it was sent at, comment on it, and complete it. See "My modreq wasn't answered..." for information about ModReq times.

Whilst I was mining my screen went black, and Minecraft crashed. Now, when I connect all I get is the black screen?

This is a rather common problem now, that is attributed to Vaquxines skills plugin. The cause of this is currently unknown, and Vaquxine is looking into the details regarding it. If this has happened to you, don't panic, you have two choices. a) Wait 15 minutes then, log back in, it should be fixed. B) Log in, and before the screen goes black, take a few step forwards / backwards - this has been found to fix the problem on multiple occasions.

I can't log onto the server? Is it down?

If you can't connect to the server then yes, it has most likely crashed. Crashes are normally announced in the news forum, as are any downtimes. The server will probably be back up within a few hours. It is also possible the server restarted, if so, check again in 30 seconds. It is also possible, there may be a problem with your Minecraft / Internet connection or a problem with the actual Mojang servers. You can check whether that is the issue, or not by simply attempting to connect to another server instead - if you can connect to it Lord of the Craft is down, if you can't then Mojang's Servers are down, or your Minecraft is playing up.

I'm having trouble with 'Skills'

I have some questions regarding donations?

http://www.lordofthe...donations-faqs/ You can ask about the donations in that thread, or you can read what has previously been asked.

You can find the donations FAQ here:

My server application was accepted, but I'm still a wandering soul?

Have patience, once a member of the Application Team accepts you, you still need to be promoted in game by a GM. Most people's applications are implemented within 3 hours of acceptance. The reasoning behind this is, that the Application Team don't have a rank in game, they only have a special rank on the forums - as much as we'd like to promote you once we've accepted you, the GM's have to give your application a second look over, and ensure that the Application Team member has not made a bias / bad decision. If your application was implemented, but you're still a wandering soul then be sure you PM a GM on the forums or TeamSpeak.

Can I steal?

You can steal under 25% of items from a chest in the wilderness, that is in unprotected land, however, you may not steal from a chest in a town / village / city / fort / built up area without an accepted villain application for "Evil: 1" - to do so, will result in punishment.

Can I grief?

Griefing is not permitted on Lord of the Craft, at any time. If you do grief on the server, you will be punished in accordance to the severity of the grief. Don't think that after griefing you can't be traced - every single block you place or destroy has your trace on it.

Can I kill people?

If you roleplay before attacking, you can kill people. However - one line roleplay before a kill, is considered a "No-RP Kill" which is against the server rules. Before you launch your attack, you must make at least two lines of roleplay, then recieve an emote or answer from the player you are going to kill - then you may attack. Remember: you can't kill for no reason, unless you have a villain application, and even then, you must roleplay first!

How do I obtain an accepted Villain Application?

You can find out about Villain Applications here:

http://www.lordofthe...n-applications/

I din't understand the lore OR Where can I read up on lore?

http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki

You can find pages, upon pages of lore on the wiki! Here's the link!

You can also find even further lore in the "World History" and "Roleplay" sections of the forums!

I was banned...

You were banned for a reason, check for a ban report on your name, and then make an appeal using the proper form. If there is not a ban report on you, ask a GM or an FM to find the Ban Notice on you, which is posted in a hidden area of the forums. That explains the reasons behind your banning, and will be useful for your ban appeal.

Where can I find a complete list of the server rules?

http://www.lordofthe...rules-aegis-20/

You can find the list you ask of here:

Am I allowed to curse / swear?

Cursing is permitted in-character, in moderate amounts. However, you may not be abusive to another member OOC'ly, it's bannable!

Am I ever allowed to meta-game?

Meta-gaming is totally against the rules, you may not, and must not meta-game ever - you agreed to this when you applied for the server, and (figureatively) promised us when you were accepted.

Why was my server application denied?

You will have been given a reason for your application being denied, just repost your app after 48 hours, with the areas you were declined on re-written. If you are unsure of why you were denied, be sure you PM the Application Team member who denied you, they'll be happy to help.

Can I use OOC parenthesis in RP? (( ))

Yes, using brackets for OOC information is permitted in small amounts, and if it is absoloutely required! Do not say ((lol)) / ((nice skin)) / ((PWNED!)) in RP chat, as they're not needed.

Should I post, even though I have nothing relative to offer?

No... Only post if what you're posting is related to the Original Post.

Is forum flaming and trolling permitted?

No, no, no! You may not ruin our beautiful forum with your trolling or flaming. You will be banned / warned for it.

Can emotions be used in RP situations? E.g. ;D

You should never use a smilie in roleplay, ever. You can't say a smilie, so you can't use it in RP.

I have seen two people agressively arguing over something on the forums. What do I do?

Report it. Do not attempt to moderate the situation, that isn't your place. Backseat moderating is not respected or permitted, and will often just annoy the FM's.

Can I post on people's ban reports?

Only post on ban reports if you were there / have evidence. People mindlessly posting +1 just confuses the situation, and is against the forum rules, so will be punished.

Can I write someones app? / Can someone write my app?

You must write your own application for anything on Lord of the Craft. Anybody, who uses an application written by someone else, will be punished, as will those who wrote it for the person.

I can't craft some things?

This is a bug attributed to spawned items. The only way round this is by getting someone else to do the crafting for you. There's no proper and effective fix as of late. This bug may or may not exist in Lord of the Craft anymore.

Why do Pigmen keep turning into Blazes?

It's the way it's coded. It isn't a bug, whenever daytime comes, pigmen turn into blazes. Feel free to voice your opinion on the topic!

What is a GM?

The GM's are the in-game moderators, it's their job to respond to modreq's, and handle any rule breakings. GM's are voted for by members of the community, and they are only picked if they have shown promise, and have helped people in the past.

What is a FM?

A FM is a forum moderator, it's their duty to patrol the forums, and make it a fun, and safe place for us to post on! They deal with spammers, trolls, and people who break the forum rules. FM's are voted for by members of the community, and they are only picked if they have shown promise, and have helped people in the past.

Why can't I report a post!

This is a bug that a lot of people experience. You are unable to report a post, due to an error with the forum software. So far there hasn't been any fix for this, and we just have to put up with it. PM a FM if you see a post that you can't report!

I get a "Can't Reach Server" error.

If you can't connect to the server then it has most likely crashed. Crashes are normally announced in the news forum, as are any downtimes. The server will probably be back up within a few hours. It is also possible the server restarted, if so, check again in 30 seconds.

How can I have an avatar bigger than 50kb?

Upload it to a image sharing website e.g. Photobucket, Imageshack, Tinypic. Then, get the direct link from there, and post it in the Avatar URL box!

I can't place some blocks? (Ore's, Decorative Ingot Blocks)

This is to do with skills, you need a certain level of blacksmithing to place them. Just find a blacksmith who's willing to do it for you. Of course, he'll probably want payed.

When I type /[command] I get an "Internal Error"

This is a severe error sometimes. Ensure you /modreq so that the GM's are aware of the problem, and they will then contact a Game Developer.

Do I have to roll?

No, rolling is not a rule. Many people see rolling as a way of getting out of impossible situations, and a way for bad roleplayers to manage to win a scenario. You do not have to roll, at all.

Can somebody force me to roll?

If you don't want to roll, then don't do it. Just say (( I'd prefer to RP this )). If they don't want to roleplay the scenario, and you don't want to roll, then either you make a compromise, or you don't continue the scenario.

When I'm cuffed, can I run?

Yes, you can. Cuffing does only refer to the hands, although, many players seem to think it's the feet also. Unless the person emotes cuffing the feet, then they haven't. Remember, with your hands cuffed, what are the chances of being able to safely get away anyway? They are very slim, so remember and fall a few times, so you don't powergame!

Can I slip free from cuffs?

You can't emote breaking free from cuffs, that's called powergaming. It's un-acceptable. If you're cuffed, either you must be set free by a guard with the key, or by a very skilled lock picker.

Can anyone cuff?

If your character is a guard, then they probably have one to two pairs of cuffs, otherwise no. Normal people don't walk around with hand-cuffs in real life, so would they in Lord of the Craft?

How much RP must I do before I kill someone?

This is a matter of opinion mainly, however, one liners are not suitable roleplay for killing anyone. No matter who you are. You can't walk up to someone and say "Time to die" then attack them. You need to say something along the lines of "You..." *emotes looking at the other player* "I've heard of you. I've got a job to do regarding you" *emotes smirking* Even after this, the other player must respond by emoting, or talking. Then, you may begin to attack them. (Please note: the scenario above would require you to have a villain app.)

What happened to the shop plugin?

The auto-shop plugin has been removed due to it being severely outdated. Soon we will have a replacement added though, keep an eye out for the announcement.

Have mobs been over-powered?

Mobs have had their damage dealt increased it appears, causing them to do more damage when they hit you. Currently, it is unknown if this is a bug, or a purposefully added addition.

Whilst farming I barely get any of my seeds!

Farming is set so that you do not get all the seeds from every harvest you do. This is planned to be made to a more common ratio of harvest to seed-drop soon.

What happened to soul-stones?

Soulstones have been temporarily removed from the game, and may be returned some-time soon. The reason for this? Simple; what sense would there be in your soul being connected with somewhere you've just found / never been at?

How come one Application Team member denied me for this reason, but another denied me for another reason?

The Application Team doesn't currently have any form of set outline regarding the way we accept or deny applications, so our decisions may vary.

Asulon Time?

The following are approximations of Minecraft Time to Real Time:

1 Minecraft Second ≈ 0.013 seconds of gameplay.

1 Minecraft Minute ≈ 0.8 seconds of gameplay.

1 Minecraft Hour = 50 seconds of gameplay.

1 Minecraft Day = 19.2 minutes of gameplay.

1 Minecraft Week = 2.24 hours of gameplay.

1 Minecraft Month = 9.6 hours of gameplay.

1 Minecraft Year = 116.9 hours of gameplay, or 4.869895986 days of gameplay.

The approximation of Real Time to Minecraft Time:

1 hour of gameplay = 3 Minecraft Days.

1 day of gameplay = 72 Minecraft Days.

1 week of gameplay ≈ 1.38 Minecraft Years, ≈ 16.559 Minecraft Months, = 72 Minecraft Weeks, = 504 Minecraft Days

1 month of gameplay ≈ 5.914 Minecraft Years, ≈ 70.967 Minecraft Months, ≈ 308.571 Minecraft Weeks, = 2,160 Minecraft Days

1 year of gameplay = 72 Minecraft Years, = 864 Minecraft Months, = 3,756.776904 Minecraft Weeks, = 26,297.438328 Minecraft Days

Months are assumed each month is 30 days long. Years are rounded off to 365.242199 days, and all close (contains ≈) measurements are rounded to the nearest thousandth, or 0.00x.

I was caught in a "war" and was killed for no reason...

If a war is going on in an area, then don't go into that area. If a war has been confirmed, and people are fighting then there ain't any need for you to be there unless your fighting. If you go there, then people can kill you as it's a war zone.

Why is the Wiki down?

The Wiki is currently being moved to another type of wiki platform. Some pages are not there, however, some will be. It may take a short while to actually build the wiki back to it's previous state, but for now, we can make do with what we've got. The various forum sections can also provide help with lore.

I just logged onto the server, and I have no idea on what to do?

The best way of getting into the way that the server runs, you should either go to your races / nation's capital, or go to where ever you're located in your biography. You can also get a job that suits your character in one of these places, and earn money to purchase yourself a house!

I "Don't have permission to that area"?

A large amount of the landscape is protected to ensure that the land can't be land-scarred or griefed at any time. You can gain permission to these regions by having an in-character reason, and also by getting added to the permissions list for the area, by the regions owner.

My VA was denied, and I was given no reason?

This was probably because it

a) Contained obvious problems.

b) The VAT member who denied it wants to discuss the reasons for you in private.

Send a PM to the VAT member who denied it.

How many times can I post my Villain Application?

You can post your villain application a maximum of three times for one character. If you make a new character, you have your three tries for that character, etc. If you are blacklisted from villainry on your account, then you may never re-apply to become a villain again.

Can I PM someone who denied my Application or my Villain Application?

Of course! Send them a private message by all means - and they'll be happy to give you more reason or help!

If someone commits a villainous act, and they don't have a villain application, what do I do?

File a ban report against them! They have broken a server rule, and can be punished for it!

Is PVP Allowed on Lord of the Craft?

PVP or Players versus Player Combat is permitted in-game, but it is not liked by all players. Many Lord of the Craft players will refuse to PVP with you and instead ask for a RP fight. A PVP fight is Minecraft combat, so left clicking, right clicking and bouncing around. A RP fight is a roleplay fight, meaning you need to emote the fight, emote swinging, emote blocking. Before you use PVP on someone, you must ensure there has been sufficient RP before hand - sufficient RP is defined as at least two lines of RP between each of the combatants before the fight begins. You also are not allowed to attack people with PVP unless you have an accepted villain application, or if they attack you first.

What do [[ ]] (( )) mean?

The usage of [[ ]] and (( )) is for stating OOC (out of character) information in IC (In-character) areas - such as on the forums, or in the local chat in-game. You should only make use of the OOC parenthesis if you are speaking to multiple people, and you aren't making use of it excessively. Excessive use of OOC parenthesis in a roleplay channel can result in you being warned or banned as it is a breach of server rules. You should only ever make use of OOC parenthesis when there is no other way of informing others of what you are trying to let them know, for example, /tell, TeamSpeak or the OOC chat channel.

What is the difference between the RP and OOC chat?

RP Chat is Roleplay Chat - this is in-character, and you must speak in-character, as if you were your character. OOC chat, is out-of-character, for speaking to people normally - like you would in real life. In RP channels you must always talk as your character, however in OOC you can talk whatever way you want - as long as you be respectful, and don't swear (you can do both in RP!).

Why am I told I don't have permission for an area?

Asulon (our world) is regioned to ensure that it can't be griefed, or "landscarred". On our old map, Aegis there was hundreds of ugly looking buildings, that ruined the roleplay feel we try so hard to create, so we've made it that a large amount of our map is safely regioned ensuring it can't be ruined. If you go far enough away from spawn, you do eventually come across un-regioned areas. If you would like to be able to build somewhere, then you are needed to make a charter for the land. You can get land inside a town or city by contacting the person in-charge of selling land inside that area - ask around in roleplay and someone will let you know who to talk to!

How do i file a ban report or a strike report against someone?

http://www.lordofthe...48-ban-reports/

You can file a ban report or a strike report against other players if they have broken rules. A ban report is for when you believe the person has breached the rules enough to warrant their removal from the server. A strike report is if you believe a player has breached the rules, just enough to warrant a warning. For both, you must follow the format that is pinned/stickied in the forum area. You can find the area for posting them on the forums, or by following this link:

How do I use the whisper or shout functions?

The whisper and shout functions allow you to talk in-game over larger and smaller distances. A whisper only travels a couple of blocks, and is useful for giving another player private information without others hearing. You can send a whisper by typing /w then what you want to tell them, whilst you are beside them. However, shouting travels a lot further, and is for making many people here, or for someone who is quite far away. You can do it in the same way, just my simply typing /s then what you want to shout. It's that simple!

How do I switch between chat channels in-game?

In-game there are various "chat-channels". You can set one of them to be for you to talk in by default, instead of having to type /ooc, /w, /s, /rp etc. You can type /ch {channelname} and every time you talk it allows you to speak in that channel. The channel names are:- rp - roleplay, s - shout, w - whisper, ooc - ooc channel.

How do I find a city?

You ain't allowed to find information out of character, then use it in-character. So - to find out where a city is, you need to ask in roleplay. If you want to find a place's location, then all you need to do is read street signs, or ask people. Remember:- you must never use co-ordinates in roleplay. You need to either follow the signs, or get directions that will lead you there. Another way of coming across a city, is just finding a road, and following it.

What happens if I die in-game?

If you die in Minecraft terms, (where your health reaches 0 and it's a minecraft death) then you are not required to make a new character.If you die in roleplay (where your character actually dies, and is announced dead in-character) then you need to make a new character. To do this, all you need to do is set your character card details to your new character. You can do this by typing /setname, /setbio, /setage. To change race, or reset your skills - you need to purchase the corresponding donation packages.

Where can I donate to the server?

http://www.lordofthe....net/?page_id=2 . In the donation center, the various packages and their perks are listed - you can choose the amount to donate. Once you've made your decision, click Enter Donation Center, which will take you to the webstore. Here you can chose from Donation Packages, Standalone Donation Benefits and Package Upgrades. Donation Packages are the donation ranks, from Grass to Aether. You can find all of their details on the original page you visited. Standalone Donation Benefits are packages that will allow you a one off thing. Currently, you can chose from a Skill Level Distribution or a Character Card Reset. The Skill Distribution turns all your stats into credits for use with /addlevel, and the Character Card Reset allows you to change race. Finally, the package upgrades allow you to upgrade from one donation package to another. In order to buy one of the donation options, simply type your Minecraft Username into the field that asks for it, on the corresponding donations area, then hit continue. You will be taken through PayPal to confirm your purchase, then it's done! Within five minutes, you will be upgraded in-game, and to be set to your rank on the forums contact an administrator.

Donating to the server is quite simple. You just need to head over to the donation center, which you can find on our site, here:

Where are the "wilds"?

The wilds are areas that are unprotected, and you may freely build upon. They can be found past the co-ordinates of 3000 in any direction roughly. Remember, just because they ain't protected doesn't mean you can grief, landscar and make them look ugly. Stick with the roleplay feel - or your buildings can be removed.

How do I change my name in-game?

To change your name in-game, all you need to do is type a command! Simply type /setname then the name you want, for example, /setname Danny ! It's that easy!

How do I change my race in-game?

You can only change your name in-game if you have purchased the donation package that allows you to do so. To have your race changed, a Game Moderator will reset your character card, which will allow you to use /cregister again, like you did when you joined the server.

What is a "GM"?

A GM is a Global / Game Moderator. They are in-charge of moderating the server, and ensuring the game is fun and that the rules are kept. GM's are made GM if they have done a lot for the server, and care for it, and they must also have made a GM application. Most of the GM's you can find on Lord of the Craft are older players, experienced and who want to help. You can get in contact via modreq, or PM'ing them. If you want to find out what GM's are online in-game, then type /modlist !

Am I allowed to kill other players?

Yes, you may kill other players. However, you may not murder, or assault anyone without a villain application, and before they die, there must be sufficient roleplay. You can be banned if you kill someone without a villain application. There are situations in which you may kill someone without a villain application, for example:- someone attacks you, you kill them in self defense. You may also kill in a warzone without a villain application, providing you are actually on a side of the battle.

What is a "modreq"?

A modreq is a Mod Request - it's how you can contact a GM/Admin for help. You can use the function in-game, by typing /modreq and then what your problem is. The GM can then answer the modreq, and teleport to where it was sent from - and solve the issue. You can use a modreq simply to ask questions, to report griefing, or to ask for help for something. When making a modreq you should always provide as much detail as possible, so that the GM's know what they are dealing with, for example, "/modreq My house has had it's walls burned down, and the items stolen, can you help?". A GM or Administrator would then claim your modreq, teleport to where it was sent from and solve the issue.

What is a villain on Lord of the Craft?

A villain on Lord of the Craft is a player who has shown that they are capable of good roleplaying. Think of a villain application as an advanced roleplaying application - we don't want not-so-good roleplayers running around and ruining other peoples roleplay, so we ensure that the people who are allowed to do evil or deceptive acts are good roleplayers. Villains are accepted for certain evils, and are decided upon by the VAT (Villain Application Team).

Am I allowed to kill animals?

You are allowed to kill animals if they are in the middle of nowhere. You should not kill animals that clearly belong to another player, as that is counted as theft which requires a villain application for evil 1.

Are client modifications allowed / what client modifications are allowed?

Indeed, some client modifications are permitted. Things like mini-maps, optifine and some other modifications are allowed to be used on the server. Quite often our players do use them. You must not ever, use a modification that actually gives you an advantage over other players though - to do so can result in a permanent ban. Examples of what modifications are strictly prohibited:- X-Ray (modifications or texture packs), "Fly-Mods", Kill Aura, Mob Aura etc.

Am I allowed to steal?

You may not steal from another player without a villain application, unless the place you are stealing from is in the wilds. If it is not, then you are breaking server rules. You also can not mug another player at all without a villain application. Even when stealing in the wilds, it is recommended you only take a small amount of what they own, to avoid getting into trouble.

Where can I find the server rules?

What are the races on Lord of the Craft?

There are currently 6 playable races on the Lord of the Craft - however two of them are only playable as if you create a seperate application for them. When applying for the server itself you can only choose from the race of men, elf, dwarf or orc. You can find out about each race, and their benefits / downsides on the wiki.

How do I access the wiki?

You can also access the old wiki here:

What am I meant to do if I see someone breaking the rules?

If you see someone breaking the server rules then you must take screenshots. If you have no screenshots, then you can't prove that you saw them. (You can take screenshots by pressing F2). Once you have your screenshots, you should proceed to make a ban / strike report against the player, and include the screenshots in it.

Can I die from hunger?

Luckily, you are currently unable to die from hunger. This is mainly because food can be hard to come across in-game. You do still lose hunger from your hunger bar though, however, you just won't starve to death.

How can I create an NPC?

To create an NPC (non-playable-character) you must be an Iron VIP+. Each donation rank has a set amount of NPC's you can own. To create an NPC stand where you want him/her and type in the chat window, /npc create [name]. Once you've done that - your NPC will be born! You can then customize your NPC with various things, such as giving him walking routes or giving them lines of speech. You can find out about these functions with /npc help.

How do I write a book?

Writing a book in-game is very simple. Just type '/write -title {your book's title}' whilst holding an empty book in-game. This will create a book with said title. Once you have done so, type '/write -chat'. This sets your chat mode to author, allowing you to type away. Everything you type, will be added to the book. To make line breaks / paragaraphs, type :: where you want them to be, and the server shall make it. Once you are finished, type /write -chat again, then your chat will be set to normal. You can read your book by right-clicking with it in your hand.

What does it mean, 'the server is outdated'?

This means that the server and your Minecraft are at different versions. If a Minecraft update recently came out, then chances are Lord of the Craft has not updated yet. You can see if it has in the News section of the forums. If you upgraded to the new version, but Lord of the Craft is still at the other version of Minecraft, then you can 'downgrade'. You can do this with MCDownloader, MCNostalgia, or our own downgrader, coded by Vaquxine - MUC.

Does magic exist in Lord of the Craft?

I don't know enough about magic to explain this, however it should explain how all magic must be learnt in rp, and must not be powergamed etc, etc. Magic Applications have been introduced and must be filled in, in order for you to be able to use magic.

What are soulstones, and how do they work?

A soulstone in Lord of the Craft is a magical teleportation device, that everyone has. It binds your soul to a location (by default The Wilven Sanctuary, however you can change your location with /setsoul), and whenever you use your soulstone it takes you to that location! Most people use it Out-of-Character, and very few roleplay soulstones. If you are a VIP you can have multiple soulstone locations, which you can switch between with /selectsoul.

Why must I apply?

The Lord of the Craft requires that you post a server application, and have it accepted so that we can continue to be a strict roleplay server. We would not be capable of calling ourselves a roleplay server if we allowed every Minecrafter on, as many of them are younger children with no idea of what roleplaying is.
