NOTE: We are NOT upgrading to 1.3 due to new stuff included with the version. We do not wish to jump in straight away, so keep old jar files please.

This is the Tasekai server, it has 3 worlds, each one is for different things so even if you dislike PvP you can play.

These are the worlds:

Golden Valley (GV) - Survival, no PvP
Desertion (DS) - Factions, PvP
Inspiration (IR) - Creative

Each world can be accessed via the spawn portals, the portals are:

Desertion-spawn-no faction
Desertion-Aelburn Castle-Terawyn
Desertion-Northmage Castle-Kaigoniel
Golden Valley-spawn
Inspiration-IR portal

PvP
Kingdom portals can only be used by members of the kingdom, kingdoms are invite only so the first person on can choose their kingdom, they will become king.

Each kingdom is given a castle to begin with, this castle includes a jail and a bedrock vault, the vault is secure and the only way to break in is to claim all the land leading up to it, hopefully you'll be able to defend against that.

The idea is that because the castle is so hard to expand out due to the amazing amount of materials needed players will branch off and make villages for things like wheat, meat and other items needed to become a strong faction. Faction moderators are, as normal, the only ones allowed to claim land (obviously the king is, too), so moderators are lords, each lord owns a town (it is their fief) and that town is the lord's responsibility, the king is owner of the castle and he can change it how he sees fit.

Each player has 40 power, meaning they can claim massive pieces of land, so branching off would be the smartest thing to do otherwise all your eggs are in one basket and there's nowhere to retreat to if an attack on your castle is successful.

The castle is ~50x50, it has stairs from the top of the wall to the top of the tower but no stairs up from the floor to the top of the walls, you are allowed to do whatever you want with the castle but remember that it has to be strong against an attack.

Castles are very far from spawn, meaning you have to slowly get to the enemy's land by building camps, castle co-ords are given out after 4 days to a week after start (still TBA) and that's when the real war starts.

Once a castle has been completely destroyed to the point where it's hard to fend off attackers and repair at the same time it will be given a week before a kingdom has won, in this week the defenders can gather troops at a nearby village and try to take back the castle.

Once a kingdom is victorious all factions will be open, both main factions will be non-permanent and new factions can be created, currently playing as a non-faction member is a viable choice, as the map is so big you could hide in a lot of places.

Plugins
We currently have:

Pex
NoCheat
NoCheatPlus
Factions
FactionsPlus(Very buggy with Pex)
Multiverse(Core, Portals and Inventories)
WorldEdit
WorldGuard

Rules
No swearing.
Banter is allowed, just nothing too bad like personal death threats. A rule of thumb is that if you're talking about real life then it's against the rules.
No begging for anything if the person you're begging has already said no.
No running from PvP (Instant ban from the PvP world), this includes going to spawn so you don't get killed, hiding away so you don't get killed and logging off. Plain running away from someone is allowed.
Spying is allowed, but somewhat useless.
Any form of hacks have been disabled or hindered by NoCheat, but anyone caught using them and trying to get around it will be banned from the whole server.
Anyone caught using x-ray will be banned from the PvP server and someone else from their team will be banned for a week, unless someone (other than the x-rayer) tells an op that they're xraying. Anti x-ray plugins are normally hindering to normal players and I don't want to annoy people by making them risk their stuff for fake diamonds.

Misc stuff
If the server goes well here's some things to look forward to:
Tasekai texture pack.
The RAM will be doubled! Huzzah!

Currently the server has 3GB of RAM, all of which is going to the server, that's 1GB of RAM per world, but obviously the more popular ones will get more RAM. The OS itself uses 20MB of RAM, and it allows amazing tools for administration so the downtime will be minimum and backups will be common.

If people are willing to donate I can get a button ready, currently the server is almost free to run but it can be upgraded.

Apply for whitelist in a reply, your IGN will do.
