Description So I finally ventured out into multiplayer Minecraft.

After a brief stint at Freedonia, and discovering that I really don't like PvP, I looked around for another server, and happened to stumble across one called the Five Duchies.

It's a medieval-themed survival server, with no item spawning. Everything you see has been legitimately gathered by someone. They have an age requirement, where if you're under 16 you must submit screenshots so that you can build up to the standards they're trying to maintain (and also to help keep out thieving, griefing, 1337-speaking teenyboppers).

The duchies of the kingdom of Kingshaven are protected by the King's peace, and thus PvP is not permitted within its bounds. But outside in the wilds...anything goes. Steal, grief, kill, whatever. This allows for different play styles on the same server.

The best part, though, are the people. I was greeted as soon as I first logged in, and everyone has generally been friendly and helpful. The emphasis here is on collaborative play with a light RP element, and it's a ton of fun.

So....this is my new home in the duchy of Blackridge, overlooking the sea (thus its name). Things are still being built, but you can see the road to the town square on the left, and what will become the seaside road to the right. And you can see the other house going up behind mine; it's currently for sale.

If you play Minecraft and this sounds good to you, the server address is:

boots01.provisionhost.com

Before you can log in, you'll need to be whitelisted; to post your application, go to the server's forum, here:

It'd be really cool to share a world with you guys!

Should you still be interested, the server is now called Council of the Realm (I forget the relevant URLs, unfortunately).

The King abdicated, the duchies are now kingdoms, we made a new map, lots of stuff happened. Still awesome people though. If you happen by, say hi to my peeps of Blackridge.

Thanks!

The Five Duchies have build standards, so if I just built a plain box house I'd have to tear it down.

oh it's so cute! looks very medieval. so are you enjoying playing with random people you don't know? i'm kind of scared to try that myself. how many people live in your little village?

sooo.... you've inspired me to post pictures of my own :3 i haven't added in things like the obsidian generator yet and i have yet to find more cactus... but it's coming! at any rate, here's my castle , and a little story about something i thought was pretty cool.

For a bunch of random people that I don't know, these folks are pretty cool. You just have to be willing to put in the effort to search the server lists for the one that's right for what you're looking for.

(our server's looking for more players, btw )

The Duchy of Blackridge currently has, let me think....at least eight regular players in it, counting myself and the Duke.

*scoots off to look at things*

In hindsight, I wish I'd done the roof to overhang by one block. I may ask the duke if I can redo it, even though it'll mean extending beyond my plot.

Pallypie In reply to rueyeet [2011-08-22 21:04:56 +0000 UTC]

So long as you're not extending the actual building, and are keeping the overhang minimal...it should be fine, right? o wo

rueyeet In reply to Pallypie [2011-08-24 16:11:17 +0000 UTC]

I'd think. As long as it doesn't actually extend into the next person's plot; we use WorldGuard and I wouldn't have permissions.

I've since built two houses for the duke to sell, and took this into account for those.
