The City Rules

These are the rules which the citizens of Acheron should take notice of!

Rule 1: Only 3 plots per player! (Updated November 26th 2011)

Rule 2: Building Height of 8. More detailed information can be found below!

Rule 3: No ridiculous traps! If you want to protect something use /cprivate instead!

Rule 4: Any building materials are allowed except of Snow and Ice blocks since that really does not fit the theme of the city. Nether materials like Netherrack are allowed, but don't build a house fully made out of it! Cobblestone is allowed, but please don't fully make your home out of it! It will look ugly! (Updated November 26th 2011)

Rule 5: Do not break or replace blocks wich are not on your plot(s)! This is griefing and will result in a permanent ban! (Unban Appeal can be made on the forum)
Once you get banned you are also immidiately kicked out of Acheron, even when you get a 2nd chance! We don't like griefers in Acheron.

Rule 6: Only cut trees outside the city! But if you cut them, LEAVE NO FLOATING CROWNS. Floating crowns just look ugly. Also for each cut tree please replant atleast 2 new ones! BREAKING THIS RULE WILL KICK YOU OUT OF ACHERON IMMIDIATELY WITHOUT WARNING OR DISCUSSING! IT MIGHT ALSO GET YOU BANNED SINCE THE OFFICIAL RULE FOR GRIEFING SAYS SO!

Rule 7: Leave a sign above or next to your door saying "<name>'s Home" or "<name>'s shop". These were just simple examples, you can tweak it a bit of course.

Rule 8: No Private Mines!

Rule 9: Please do not build a huge sign which says "SHOP" above your shop! It just looks ugly as hell! If you do it anyways you will get warned and given a time of 24 hours to remove it. If it is not removed within that time you will be kicked out of Acheron! (New Rule added November 27th 2011)

Green Rules = New Rules
Red Rules = VERY Important Rules
Striked Rules = Removed

Building Height Information

Building height limit (w/o paying another 1/2 of the plot price): 8 Blocks

Building height limit (w/ paying another 1/2 of the plot price): 16 Blocks

Basement depth: 4 Blocks

Details:

I had some thoughts about the building heights. Some people said 8 might be a bit too low. So I thought of still leaving it 8 but that if you pay half the plot price AGAIN, you'll be granted with a building height limit of 16 (double of 8 ).

Also I'll give anyone who got a plot at Acheron a basement depth of 4 giving you a total of 12 + 1 for floor between basement and the ground floor (or main floor however you may call it).

Here is a sketch which I made which shows a possible Building with the basic 8 blocks height limit, 2 floors wich are 3 blocks room height and the basement wich is 4 blocks high.

[spoiler][/spoiler]


If you got 2 Plots next to eachother but a street between it (wich is usual in Acheron) you are allowed to build a tunnel or a bridge to the other plot. The Tunnel needs to stay the same height as the basement maximum! The Bridge has to be atleast 4 blocks above the ground floor!

REMEMBER: No private mines are allowed!

List of People who are allowed to build 16 Blocks high.

The list has been reset and split into 2 categories on Nov. 26th 2011

Frequently Asked Questions
Some Questions that occur quite often. Please try to avoid those since they already annoy us.

Q: "Can you tp me to Acheron?"
A: I'm starting to get sick of this question. My advertisements in-game already tell you to USE THE TP RUNE AT SPAWN!

Q: "Ok, ok, but where is the TP Rune?"
A: If you go down the stairs of the spawn tower, go through the exit directly in front of you. Not very far away from the exit is a sign which says something similar like "To Acheron, The Great City of Magic" with an arrow pointing left. Some shrine-like structure should be visible if you follow the arrow, that is the tp rune!

Q: "I'm a donator and I would like to have a Private Warp in Acheron. Is that okay?"
A: Of course. As long as you don't set it on a plot or inside a building which does not belong to you it's fine.

Q: "What is the building height limit?"
A: Regular Height is 8 blocks. You can double it of course. See "Information about building height"!

Q: "What is the price of a 10x10 plot?"
A: Are you serious? Have you ever been to Acheron before? The plots are not shaped in a quadratic way so there is no '10x10' plot. Anyway, the prices for regular building height can be seen on the signs on the plots.

Q: "I'd like to reserve a plot, is that possible?"
A: Mainly no. It gives us more work than we already have. But sometimes I allow you to reserve a plot.

Q: "I own at least 2 sky plots next to each other. Am I allowed to connect the ground of these plots with dirt?"
A: No, because this would count as violation of Rule 5. You are only allowed to build ON your plots. Expanding the plot is highly restricted! You can connect these plots with bridges that are connecting the roofs though.


The FAQs will be expanded.

New Public Area
The Shrine of Magic

The Shrine of Magic is a new Public place in Acheron, it is a public Enchantment Table with loads of books around it for high lvl enchantments too.





I know this is a double post, but this is an important change to Acheron.
