Hello!
If you are here, you are probably wondering how combat on the server works- the answer is actually pretty simple.
There are three types of combat on the server:
- PVP
- Honor RP-PVP
- The Frontier Combat System (F.C.S.)
PVP
Player vs Player occurs in what is known as "Black Zones". These zones are where you can engage in regular Minecraft PVP. If you are killed, this does not count as an IRP death, however you do lose your stuff and you are "critically injured". We encourage people who do not want to engage in PVP to stay in the safe zones or hire guards.
Honor Role-play PVP
What is commonly referred to as "the honor system" or "honor PVP" is for the people who like to role-play out everything according to their characters. This system is strongly encouraged. We know it can be a tad bit intimidating for people new to the art and trade of role-play, however it is the best way for you as a player to increase your skill in the art of acting as a character in another universe.
The Frontier Combat System
After putting our heads together, we created a system so that players could leave their luck up to the dice. This system, which can be found at the link below, takes into account everything from the type of armor you have on, to the type of weapon you are using. It is by far the most complicated of the three types of combat at first, however once you become familiar with it, you can learn to role-play around it and use it when you're feeling lucky (punk). We strongly encourage that new players learn this system as well, just so that they are familiar with the general mechanics.
Final note on the different systems: you are the one that ultimately dictates which you use. Some players who have less than efficient computers are going to opt for the less frame-intensive FCS and Honor systems, while some people are going to want to go at it with their guns and swords in PVP and duke it out. You choose which you do, and if you and your opponent can not reach an agreement, kill them- I mean get a staff member and go from there.
