Well, I started the road to your charter last week it actually leads pretty close by it your look north along the shoreline. I had brought it in low so it’s at water level. My intent was to build a boardwalk of sorts. It won’t happen for a bit though but that was the intent at least.

Sorry, I must have missed that announcement, and I can’t seem to find it. Can you link it? And also maybe link it in the original post somewhere, for others?
Okay so there IS freebuild. My guild is neutral to all entities and only has like 6-7 members so it’s unlikely we’ll be able to apply for dependency for a good couple of months.
If I build a temporary headquaters for my guildmembers to be housed and have guild meetings in, will we be able to apply for a tier 1 charter if/when we gather up the mina and signatures? Will our freebuild be automatically erased? Are there rules/information somewhere on the new freebuild system somewhere, specifically activity and such?
Thanks for the clarification on this and apologues for all the questions.
Freebuild is coming a bit later but basically yes we want to keep the freebuild area seperate from charters to avoid alot of the nastiness we got this map from it. It’s a lot smaller in an area though and more contained to a specific area of the map. Here’s the original post btw https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/178769-charter-system-your-view/

Becoming separate from that which they’re separate to, or if conquest results in them simply being overtaken, blah-blah. Stuff like that is alittle important.
So that, in my opinion, is more of a war system thing like rebelling but if a nation revokes their sponsorship the group just goes back to being a charter if that makes any sense?

Hia folks here’s the whole lot for the land systems of Arcas. You guys have already seen the Charter System but this is with changes made based on what the community said last time so let me know thoughts on it as is. Credit to AGiantPie for the idea for reclaiming old builds btw we did include that. We’re trying to get all the details for Nations and all that on paper now so nothing is an unwritten rule and so it’s super clear for players and staff on how to interact with the land system!
NATION SYSTEM
Charters that demonstrate a high level of player engagement can achieve Nation Status. LotC rewards Nations that strive for the best with unique benefits that help maintain their streak of rich roleplay.
Becoming A Nation
Gain Nation Status
You can apply for Nation Status as long as the following is true,
1) You have a full non-probation charter.
2) You have met the activity requirements for at least one month.
3) You are not a Dependant charter.
Nation Status Application,
Group Name:
Charter Application:
If your submission is acceptable then you will enter a two-month probation period. You must maintain Nation-level activity for the entire two months. If we deny your application you may re-apply in two-weeks.
Maintaining and Losing Nation Status
If your Nation has passed the probation period yet falls below minimum activity for three consecutive weeks we will issue a warning. If you fail two weeks more we will downgrade your Nation to a tier 3 charter.
Benefits of Nation Status
1) 200 x 200 protected area with the ability to expand further into your home tile
2) A free green ss pillar
3) A free mine
4) A free banker
5) A free auctioneer
6) Road signage
7) High-speed road connection (Aka fast roads)
? Ability to have dependent status groups
9) Access to Nation Leader Discord
Controlling Tiles
Tiles have three possible states. An uncontrolled tile has no Nation or Nation-dependent group on that tile. A contested tile has more than one charter not under the same allegiance. Finally, a tile is controlled when one owning party has full control over the charter regions within.
In order to convert a contest tile to controlled, all other groups must either convert into dependants, leave, or collapse.
DEPENDENT SYSTEM
A Dependent is described as a group whom for various reasons belongs to and is an apart of a nation statused group and meets a few criteria.
The Information & Process for gaining Dependent Status
Gain Dependent Status
You can apply for Dependent Status as long as the following is true,
1) You have a charter (Probationary Period does not prohibit this).
2) You have a willing Nation who will sponsor you.
3) The charter must be in an adjacent tile that is controlled by the Sponsoring Nation
Nation Status Application,
Group Name:
Charter Application:
Nation sponsoring:
If your submission is acceptable then you will finish out whatever remains of your charters probationary period if applicable and you will be granted the benefits associated with being a dependent.
Losing Dependent Status
There are only two ways to lose your dependent status, Either have it revoked by your sponsoring nation above in which case you go back to your original chartered status or you fail to meet the continuing requirements of your charter and are thus no longer eligible for your Dependent status either.
Benefits of Nation Status
1) Grants Tile Access for Sponsor
2) Paid Access to a Soul Stone Pillar
3) Paid Access to a mine.
Tile Access,
When a dependent group is formed inside of a tile and is the first of its nature there it expands that nations influence into that tile. Allowing for that tile to now become a contested tile for the sponsoring nation. A dependent can only give full control of a tile once the regular criteria for a controlled tile are met and the dependent is no longer in charter probation.
CHARTER SYSTEM
A Charter is defined as regioned parcel of land granted to an individual who completes the requirements for the selected tier of charter.
The Information & Process for gaining a Charter
Application Process:
1) Submit a Charter Application for the land you desire.
2) Begin the two week wait. Use this time to collect signatures and submit minas.
3) Finally, a staff member claims, evaluates, and processes your application.
a) When Accepted you enter the probation period.
b) When Denied, the charter is archived. You may retry.
Charter Application:
The Charter of [name of land]
Submitted by [owner’s roleplay name] « [owner’s minecraft name] »
● Located at coordinates (X, Y, Z)
● Tier level of [#]
We wish to upgrade our charter. (NO: remove this, YES: provide link to charter)
OR
We wish to relocate our charter. (NO: remove this, YES: provide link to charter)
Charter Probation
Excellent, your charter is accepted! We now flag your region and monitor it for one months and verify you meet the criteria for activity. If you succeed, we remove your probation status. Though, if you fail, we must delete your region. Though even after probation you will continue to be monitored but more flexibility will be offered.
Where can I place my Charter?
Got a place you’re interested in? Compare it to the conditions below.
● No other Charter already claimed that spot.
● You’re at least 125 blocks away from any other Charter or Nation Region or Resource pit.
● You’re not inside the Cloud Temple Ring.
● You’re not in a tile owned by a nation or in contested territory.
● You are not in the Freebuild Wilds.
● You do not own any other land.
* If you are relocating, then you may only do so if you are not at war.
* Keep in mind when you choose your location, your Charter can only be dependent on Nations adjacent to your tile.
I want to upgrade or relocate my Charter.
First of all, your Charter must pass the probation period. Then, choose a location that is the same or smaller tier and be ready to pay half the price of that land.
If you wish to upgrade—you must gather all the signatures. However, you only pay the difference for the cost in minas. Your Charter will re-enter the probationary period for two months. If you fail your land will only revert to the original size—however, you will need to pass another two-month probation to keep the land altogether.
Can I use the land of a former Charter that went inactive?
Absolutely. In fact, you can purchase or relocate to abandoned land at a 35% discount! After a charter is abandoned the build and all its facilities will be kept for at least two weeks if others express interest in the build or staff would like to repurpose it for events and such.
We would like to declare dependency on a Nation.
You may apply at any time for Dependant status—even during probation.
We would like to ascend to Nation status.
You must reach Nation-level activity. Then, you may apply for Nation status and enter a two month probationary period. You must maintain Nation-level activity for the entire two months.
Charter Tier’s
Tier 1 - Hamlet 50 x 50 block region
Seven signatures
Three-thousand Five-hundred minas
Tier 2 - Village 100x 100 block region
Fifteen signatures
Twelve-thousand minas
Tier 3 - City 150x150 block region
Thirty signatures
Twenty-four-thousand five-hundred minas
Tier 4 - Special 200x200 block region
Only granted under specific circumstances not applicable for new or upgrading charters.
Such as Nations who lose their Nation status as to not cut up their city with a shrinking region.

Why. Just why. I know I can’t have a bias, physically incapable of it nowadays but, why are we selling land for Minae? And secondly, why even have this stupid system, to begin with, I know, it sucks, but I don’t like how we are “selling lands off because rich people rule.” It is not a healthy system, and it won’t have a great chance of flying well in the future. Charters are not bad, but SELLING LAND is not alright, Seventh, I love you, buddy... it is not too late to change the system for a second round, this system is unfair and unkind to those that honestly have not been able to vote or something else, I know it is a way to curve down on activity. But there is literally a counter ticking telling about the activity. Let nations settle themselves instead of taking useless Minae that won’t even be carried over and using them.
Here is a better system in my opinion; A nation gets to pick a single tile on the map nothing more, then minor and major groups get to do the same, but remain hidden, because, I FORGOT TO SAY, Minor none-nations will not get anything in this system, meaning groups that thrive off of hiding outside of empires and kingdoms get majorly thrown under the table by this, so please fix that, now back to my proposal. You hand nations max one tile, minors and major one nation one tile, and then you keep free-building for the future, keep it locked from the start of course, but release it later once real rules and regulations are formatted and made.
All of this will come for free, no costs involved, you would just need to be active on a daily basis. Sounds simple right?
I have faith in you and your team Seventh, but you must remember that listening to the people and not just making stupid decisions an rules, going back on failed systems, and just generally using common sense is in order. Just in general you know. :3
I thought free build had a chance, but people can't handle it when you don't regulate it properly, I know people are focusing on other things, but it is a real kicker that keeping it unregulated and around will fly with everyone, the system needs drastic changes, in my opinion, maybe having it be that you need to set up in roleplay and planned out, then sending the screenshots to a WD or GM would do, but the regard stands. If you are not going to change the broken system, don’t keep it, simple as that. Though all of you lovely people likely knew that already, do me proud, you have options, very obvious options too.
This is not meant to really spark a debate or argument, this is just my opinions and things I think would be better.
With lots of love, Jondead.The Auction is solely for Nations to have a system for determining who gets which plots. Since we have a limited amount of them we needed some system for settling disputes instead of having people flip coins or have wcs over it. As I said in the freebuild/Charter your view post we have every intention of implementing a system for the little guys. This auction is purely just for nations to get their tiles sorted out. And really any group that qualifies for land will get land there’s more of it then there are nations so it’s not used to weed people out just as a prioritizing tool for picking from the limited pool. Nations only get one plot as well. Hope that addresses your concerns somewhat

How can the Dominion or Nordengrad get a land auction and not Gladewynn? We’ve spent weeks collecting mina and raising activity of our city to get into the auction. Anyone can attest to the massive presence of elves within our playerbase. We’d like to, as one of the major (if not largest) concentration of elves, bid on where we’re going to be for the next year.
Because whoever created your activity region made it the size of a thumbtack. This mistake wasn’t noted till Heathen noticed it during our staff meeting today. Since we can’t prove it on the same standard as all other groups we just have to wait and let the data be recorded.

@SeventhCircle Hey, can we have little dots on a map for where each of these plots are?
36 minutes ago, B said:suggestion, have the nation plots be referenced on the larger scale map, helps with knowing where a nation will be in relation to ct.

And Gladewynn isn’t?
An issue was identified with your activity rg in the last 5 minutes. The situation is more complex since we have no data on gladewynn so they probably will get land they just won't be in the auction sadly.

Hi, Folks as always it’s Seventh here. Today I’m outlining how the auction process will occur and important dates during the two-week process we’re about to undergo.
Let me first make something absolutely crystal clear
THIS IS NOT THE ONLY CHANCE TO GET LAND.
Don’t fret if your group isn’t one of the groups selected for the first land auction. Groups who meet activity after this point will be able to select from the remaining areas of land. Up until 2 weeks from the launch of 7.0.
The First week (November 16th to November 23rd) will be focused on showing what’s available and ensuring nations/groups who will be participating in the initial land auction have all their questions answered.
During this time all plots available for bidding will have extensive photo albums created (Down below, Parties participating can request photos as needed)
We will also ask each member participating to ensure they have their minas gathered this time will also be used for general question and answering for groups involved.
The goal of this week is to ensure all participating members are fully informed and know which areas they’re interested in.
The Second Week (24th - 30th) will be when the actual bidding process will take place. This will occur in the Nation Leader Discord. Where each tile will have a channel in which bids can be placed in 500 mina minimum increments. Bidding will close on either the 30th or in a hotly contested bid it will close 12 hours after the last bid anytime after the 30th.
As a reminder of, course getting land now is NOT a golden ticket to 7.0 you are expected to maintain activity until launch. For groups who did not make it into the land auction at current fret not, there is still time to receive land if you meet the activity requirements.
After reviewing the data collected through the activity plugin we set the bar for Nation Status server activity. Groups who met this are:
Renatus
Sutica
Belvits
Haense
(PS the order means nothing here)
The following groups are either to close for us to cut outright or fall under strange circumstances and will be invited to participate in the first week and will be rechecked before bidding starts to see if they are fully confirmed.
Curon
Dominion
Nordengrad
Fenn
Agnarum
Arberrang
(PS the order means nothing here)
If you are one of these groups leaders reach out to me so I can get something set up for you. My discord is Seventh#9260.

Hi, folk’s today the wd team wants to hear from yall about where you’d like to see the future of land allocation go. With our recent activity collection plugin being implemented It’s now quite viable for a charter system as in the past. But we also see the value in open-ended free build which is why 7.0 is currently positioned to accommodate either system or some combination of both. This is where we want your thoughts on the matter we have a few ideas ourselves and I’ll outline them below but feel free to propose novel solutions as well!
First some ground rules,
All land in the CT ring is closed to building
A limited and dispersed amount of land is available in the Civil Ring,
Finally most land in the wild ring is open but there are more restricted areas to protect some builds
The simple break down of the options
1, All available land is set up for free build, Similar to Atlas
2, All land is a chartered region where a group applies for a certain sized area and with signatures is granted it. Then they are subject to meeting activity requirements or risk losing it.
3, A combination of both, All land in the Civil ring must be chartered while everything in the wilds is open for all. This system certainly has the most flexibility and would let us enjoy some of the benefits of both systems. The biggest drawback would be the fact two systems is of course more complex for implementation.

Hi folks, Seventh again today’s announcement is fairly short but recently we launched my newest plugin Activity. The plugin finally solved the activity monitoring issue. Every 15 minutes the plugin checks any region with the monitor-activity flag on it. The keen eyed of you may have already noticed it in a few places. When we rolled it out I tried to get it on all the places I could think of off the top of my head. I’m certainly not perfect though which is why if you are interested in possibly getting Nation status/land next map it’s important you make a modreq and request an activity check region to be placed around you.
These are the folks I already got and setup!
Agnarum
Arberrang
Belvits
Curon
Dominion
Druids
Dunshire
Fenn
Haense
Holm
Kazulrah
Krugmar
Nordengrad
Renatus
Santegia
Sutica
Anywho after a bit of time we’ll share the data of course. We just can’t share it quite as easily as the past data since this data is collected on an excel file in the plugins datafolder. Meaning we have to pull the data from the server. It’s the biggest trade off but it’s not that big compared to human error and inconstant checks. Our goal is to soon have a conversation with the community about a few ideas on what activity means!
PS this means a return to afk kickers, gotta have accurate numbers!
