What do I do when I want to build:
A house to live in ?
You look through the Altera Census to find a town appropriate for your character and you apply to join.
A town ?
You start a town with Towny. You will need to be Noble rank or higher to start a town. This can be purchased from a King for 50,000 silver. Starting a town will also cost you 50,000 silver. The price is steep to make sure people put time and effort into their builds and encourage players to work together to accomplish things.
A town that doesn't use the Towny plots ?
Contrary to popular belief, this is totally possible. As a mayor you claim the area you want to build in, but you don't have to sell out the plots for resident to private. You can keep everything public. This way the entire area you claim is protected from outsiders, but all residents are free to build within these perimeters. This way you can still be creative about your town. Make sure you organize your town accordingly, lest it not turn into chaos !
A castle ?
You build it within the perimeter of your town. If it won't fit within your town and it would add something to our server, you can apply for building permission outside your town.
An automatic cobblestone/obsidian/farm ?
You find another server. Generators lag the server. It's ok to have a farm with a switch to pour water, but don't overdo it. Anything that is turned on 24/7 is not allowed.
An elven village, underground dwarven city, treehouse village etc.?
Start your own themed town. Put a thread explaining the style you want your residents to build in. Be picky of the people you let into your town and tell them to keep to the style you are building in. If you really want to make it grand and it would add to the server, and you already belong to a town, you can apply for special permission. I can garauntee many people will want to live in a properly set up themed town.
The Titanic ?
You find a freebuild server.
An ancient sunken city, with a hidden treasure for one who finds it ?
You apply for special permission to build and we will set you up with a plot to build in.
A statue devoted to Cat_Rapist_69 ?
You find cherberts backyard and build it there. Prepare to be smitten after.
A house in this beautiful area you just found, with great view, on top of a mountain or near a lake, just for you to live in ?
You will have to start a town. It's a steep price for just one person, but it's the only way to make sure people put time and effort in their builds. You can start a town and not invite anyone. As the single resident you are entitled to 8 plots, which should be plenty to build things in for 1 person.
A mansion for a king ?
The kings live in the Silver Palace or in a town of their own choosing. Special builds for the royal family can be commissioned, but this is a Kings discretion. Do not ask about it.
A floating castle of pure evil ?
No floating buildings.
A Japanese (oriental) medieval styled town/build ?
This is possible, but make sure it's well away from other towns and builds and make it look realistic and good. It looks strange to have a random oriental styled town in the middle of other more european-styled towns.
An embassy to another town ?
Claim an plot as an 'outpost' adjacent to their town. Or ask permission to build on their property.
A remote mining operation, or a safehouse, a guardtower, border defense etc.
Claim an outpost for your town. These cost more than regular plots, but it area claimed is the same as any other plot and becomes part of your town.
