Welcome to Merinis! This guide will help you get your bearings in the somewhat complex world we've built, and will show you how to make the most of your time here. So, lets get started!
STEP ONE! PICK A TOWN TO JOIN!
when you spawn, you will find some signs inside up the stairs, here's a little info on each town.
cube: the cube is set in a huge snowy region, and is basically a massive floating cube. its main weapon is the gold sword (more on that later), its armies tend to wear a white uniform to blend in with its snowy surroundings. the cube is the corrupt violent society of the server.
Imation: Imation exists as a growing hamlet complete with a nice ocean side view, free temporary homes, and plenty to do. their weapon is the gold hoe (also known as the scatter gun). Imation is the gentle, isolated society of the server, perfect for people that want a friendly community.
Genesis: Genesis is our trade capitol. if your looking for a place to make a lot of money buying/selling things, this is your best bet. its armies use golden axes (known to them as 'rails'). Genesis is technically neutral, but unafraid to get its hands dirty.
wilderness: players that join the wilderness are likely to be associated with the cultists by city goers, but if you plan to build another society, this is how you have to do it. we recommend you gain a following before you attempt go build a new society.
once you have decided, pick a town, and right click it! note that you can only come here through death, therefore no items can be transported this way.
STEP TWO! MINE SOME GOLD!
after you've picked a town, you will be warped to it. but your not a citizen yet! before you can call yourself a member of the town, you must contribute to it by purchasing property, and the best way to do this is to mine gold. even if you have lost your items given to you at spawn, this shouldn't be hard to do. once you get a few bars of smelted gold, take it to your towns bank and deposit it for cash. now you can buy some property!
STEP THREE! BUYING PROPERTY!
there are a couple of ways to do this. first, if any of the admins are on, simply ask them. if none are on, send them mail. (/mail send [to] blah blah) be sure to include the plot number in the message. if your not sure who to send it to, send it to lunarblaze.
with this, your now a part of a faction and have all the perks associated with it.
the next thing your going to want to do is start building and doing all the normal stuff you would expect to be doing in minecraft, but before you do, i'd like to introduce you to:
CUBE TECH!
im sure you've heard this term before if you read any of the fluff, but in case you didn't know, this is the story reason for numerous in game things. like the cube floating, or mobs not spawning around cities. but more importantly to you, cube tech means that gold on the server has some special properties, like being able to consume coal and fire molten balls of white hot mass. (but really they are snowballs that kill ;D)
to use this awesome example of technology, just make any gold tool except for a shovel, have some coal/charcoal in your inventory, and simply click! every weapon is different, be sure to experiment to see what kind you like best.
