Hi, I ran across this site while looking for top downloads. I think you have some terrific builds. I looked around a few times and am interested in joining.  I'm 45, from the U. S., I have traveled the real world a little and love to see the sights in the Shire. I have been minecrafting maybe, 2 1/2 years on single player. I would like to join for the shared creativity.

thanks

Welcome to the server!  Thanks for taking the time to post - it's a little extra step, but it helps us see who's serious and helps you get involved in the forum.

You've been promoted to Tyro!  Tyro is the 'entry-level' rank.  It comes with some limitations, but these are temporary.  Good builders are ranked very quickly to the next rank (Yeoman).  Everyone started at this rank, even our admins.

Tyro's are essentially in Survival mode only - you do have access to lots of free materials though.  Tyro's are restricted to the /warp tyrule area - read the info and grab a plot using /plotme auto.  Check under the spawn at /warp tyrule, theres all the materials you could ever want down there.  Showing you can build in Tyrule will get you ranked to Yeoman quickly, and then you'll be able to build wherever you want.  AND - I should add that we'll be happy to move your Tyro build into the main world if you'd like after you rank to Yeoman.

All it takes to rank up from Tyro is a decent build.  Doesn't have to be big.  

Good links:

Check out http://play.shirecraft.us/6635 for a map.  The map is currently 8000x8000 and is something like 3.9gb.  A little history:  The map has been the same map we've used since we started the server in October 2010 (Minecraft Alpha days). 

We have a subreddit.. www.reddit.com/r/shirecraft, the wiki in there has some good articles if you're curious.

We have a youtube channel!  Its full of old videos that really show how far we've come.  www.youtube.com/helmerman

Check out the Quests section of this forum too - there's all kinds of fun little adventures you can find on the server.

Some favorite warps you might want to check out:

/warp athitica

/warp venice

/warp atheos

/warp oranjestad

/warp orikami

/warp fulfwotz 

Plus about 200 other warps.

And no we're not strictly a LOTR server - not by any stretch.  But you can see some good LOTR builds at /warp isengard and /warp barad. 

See you on the server!
