Sorry all staff have been extremely busy as we recently released a giant update to the server 🙂

Here is your punishment tracker

http://bans.piratemc.com/index.php?action=viewplayer&player=jameskerr524&server=0

you got 2 previous punishments for being rude to staff and advertising another server.

it has not been 2 years ban, but its well over a year ban, so I think this is enough time for you to have reflected on your actions, and understand how we have respect on PirateCraft, so I will give you another chance.

Welcome, to PirateCraft my friend!
As @Madhattersupreme said above, we are a quite diverse and unique server with many amazing things to do.
I’m sure you’ll like it here! Many do Nathan!
Just because I’m passing this around, check this out 😛

Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to Piratecraft, Nathan!

This server is quite unique, a mixture of survival and factions.

At the frameworks, the world is made out of lots of crews, similar to factions, with rivalries, allies, themes, leaders, forms of government and other points that make them completely different to each other. You will find some faction-esque pvp based crews, like The Asylum, but you’ll also find fully functional governments and empires, like the British Empire. Decide on a crew that fits you, perhaps stay a lone wolf, or even create your own.

This server uses basic grief prevention, using golden shovels to claim land and then others can’t build on it, teleporting ( /tpa Person’s name ), some useful knacks like /sethome and /home, and more. Do /kit bible for some basic help, or /help for a few commands.

I have a feeling that was a truly, truly awful guide. Hopefully someone shows up who can explain it better.

I think the general overriding issue is the lack of death. I will start playing more often now and maybe my mood will change once I start trying to kill people again, however everyone has become an “expert” at pvp in 1.9. I was practicing with Cysteen after being gone for 6 months or so and it still took her 5 minutes of whacking me around to kill me… and I didn’t try to run and re pot. I find that incredibly annoying. I agree with Paul that if someone can escape battle for 15 seconds and stand still to TP they should be able to get away however the problem is defining “escaping from battle”. I know from past experience if you are chasing someone 15 blocks behind them and running at the same speed you will never catch up. In a fight someone can run for 15 seconds, not be pvp tagged. Throw an epearl into water, and then tp away when they hit the bottom of the lake. This is an example of when someone hasn’t escaped pvp but gets away from the 15 second timer.  If only a proximity setting could be turned on and you cant get out of pvp if you within a certain radius, then the timer would start that would be awesome.

The reason why the prices of diamond has collapsed is because no one needs new armor because very few people die from pvp. I know there is another thread talking about 1.9 pvp however in 1.8 God Apples were expensive and they were the price to pay to stay alive. In 1.9 the price to pay is an hour in front of a grinder to repair your armor.

Everyone can be a “good” fighter and everyone can epearl away and re-arm to just come back and get whacked around. There are no global messages for “Chamberlain Lost to Cysteen 1456 whacks to 98”. If there was then maybe there would be some glory in pvp again. I want the “beheaded” messages. While the timer can be annoying when getting accidentally hit, increasing it (in a systematic way like God said “correlating it with damage taken”) will allow for those who arm themselves for a god fight to go in with the full intention of dying. This will also help limit the fights from hit one, to whenever you have to get off and epearl away, to when someone runs out of inventory and tries to run. Piratecraft needs more death 🙂 One way to do that would be to make it incredible hard for someone to run after a god fight. Not make it impossible…. but if someone wants to bring 4 stacks of epearls to run after a fight, they limit the amount of Str or speed they carry making them more susceptible to dying….(Other servers also have an Epearl timer, when players can only use them once every 10 seconds. This may be another area of exploring on a different thread.) PVP use to have a purpose, it was used to settle feuds. Glory was found after one persons armor broke and they got dropped in 5-6 hits. Glory needs to return to the battlefield. No more whack a mole! Fights shouldn’t take hours, and you shouldn’t talk crap and then fight in god for 20 minutes and then call it a draw. That my friends is what grinds my gears.

This change and the cost to bottle xp are steps in the right direction. Just my 2 cents.
