Nerdcrafteria

Nerdfighters now have a dedicated minecraft server! Yay! It's made of awesome (as you would expect from a nerdfighter server) but there is one problem. There are about 2200 nerdfighters that have logged on to Nerdcrafteria but only 120 spaces. That means that trying to get on can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, but it is totally worth it.

Nerdcrafteria is split into four sections. Nerdcrafteria proper is where you can buy a plot to build a house and is where the store is to buy items. The nether is just the same as usual but also serves as a PvP arena, and then there are mineworld and creativeworld. Mineworld is where all materials come from (except from the store in Nerdcrafteria) and it gets reset about once a month, so anything built here will not last. Creativeworld is for if you want time out from mining to let your imagination free. You get allocated a plot and can build anything you want there. This area is also used for competitions.

The in game currency are called Llamas and Crias with 100 Crias to a llama. You can collect money by mining and selling products or by killing monsters, which is the fastest way. Each monster gives between 30 and 50 llamas so in a single night it's very easy to make over 1000 llamas. This is useful as a plot of land starts from 8000 llamas (with ocassional plots at 5000) and the bigger, more dedirable plots are even more. Without a plot of land it's very hard to get anything done and locking a chest costs 1000 llamas (chests on your plot are automatically locked). There is a place in town where you can store some items in an enderchest (which are "client side" so you can only see your items) but that only helps for so long and you are best to save for a plot as soon as you can. If you really don't have enough then move far enough away from spawn and you can build without a plot, but chests will still need to be locked.

In town you take no damage and monsters don't spawn but in mineworld the server is on easy mode, this means you can die. If you die a "deathpile" is deployed (a chest with all your items and a sign saying it's yours) but I don't think these are locked so other people can open them and there's no easy way to find it again. It's not like technic where a waypoint is placed as well.

This is a great server with great players and I'm off to try and get on again.

Later!
