MinerAp Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 So, you're looking for a Voltz server, eh? Well if you're looking for some big fancy post with lots of pictures, coding, and all that other stuff then you've come to the wrong place. However, if you're looking for a server that doesn't have any admin abuse, lag, and is as advertised then you have come to the right place. About the server: Miner Apocalypse: Prelude to the End is a brand new server that is only here thanks to our sister server Miner Apocalypse. Miner Apocalypse is a nearly-vanilla survival server with light RP themes which have the world set post-apocalypse. Now, with Prelude to the End, this Voltz server is set in the same "universe" but hundreds of years before the apocalypse. Live in the final days leading up to the apocalypse. Will you be the one to set in motion the apocalypse, or will you try your best to help prevent it? We all know that it's coming, but we don't know how or when. Welcome, to Prelude to the End. Features that should make you want to join: This should never have to be stated for any server, but unfortunately we must. Our server has no staff abuse. THe owners, admins, and mods, none of them abuse their power. If you want to say that all the other "popular" servers right now don't have admin abuse, go ahead and become best friends with the staff. I guarentee you that you'll get all sorts of special treatment afterwards. Our moderators have no ability to teleport around or being invisible. They also can't spawn in items. We have custom recipes. You know that nuclear boiler you need for nukes which all the other servers are saying "Too bad, no recipe, no can has."? Well guess what? You can craft that here because it ain't that hard to make custom recipes. Boiler: http://puu.sh/2nrzY Nuclear Explosive: http://puu.sh/2nwt9 No global chat; all chat is local only (100 block range) . Now you don't have to worry about all those annoying spammy chats or messages every 5 seconds trying to get you to donate. Random spawns. There is no main spawn on our server. The map is 20kx20k and you can spawn ANYWHERE on it. Nothing is protected unless a faction has it claimed. (Unlike most servers with shops / huge spawn building) An amazing community. Our community that is already established is mature, friendly, and very welcoming. Staff that actually cares and treats everybody equally. You have a question? Just /helpop and if a staffmember is online he'll help you out! This server isn't pay-to-win. Sure, the rules here say no pay-to-play servers, but if you try them out a good amount - especially the large ones - are pay-to-win. We will soon have donator ranks and some donator perks, but we promise you, we will NEVER be pay-to-win. The perks will be mostly cosmetic only such as a name change, special title, chat color, etc. Maybe some resources since we haven't decided yet, but you'll never have an advantage over other players just because you paid some money. We are not just a "Raiding/griefing/pvp" server. If you want purely that then you've come to the wrong place. Again. Yes, all of that IS allowed, however, survival, RP, and building are all encouraged more than mindlessly blowing everybody up. Be mature, have a reason before blowing somebody up. And a good reason, not just because they looked at you funny. We also have the factions plugin so you can claim and protect your land. Not only that, but we have buffed forcefields so they're not complete crap. (buffed Forcicium (you have the double amount of workcycles and it brings about 3.5x more FE per Workcycle)) Banned items: All the items that are banned either cause server lag, or bugged, or over-powered. Red matter bombs Rejuvination bombs Ender bombs Advanced solar panels Active camo Transparent armor MFFS camo Crates Armbots Server rules: No hacking, cheating, or exploiting glitches(Whether they're vanilla or Voltz glitches). - ban No racism, sexism, homophobia, just no kind of discrimination at all. - ban No trying to take advantage of the staff. - kick, then ban No lava, water, or entity griefing. - kick, then ban Respect the staff and players. - kick, then ban No having a banned alternative account. - ban If you have a redstone clock, turn it off when you're offline. - kick, then ban No spamming or harassing other players. - kick, then ban Mature conversations ARE allowed, but if somebody asks you to stop or to tone it down then do so. These rules are subject to change at any time. If and when these rules are modified a server announcement will be made. Failure to follow any of these rules will result in being banned.

RachelMC Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Holy o.o. A server that doesn't encourage everybody to just blow each other up for no reason! Anyways, I do have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering them(Made an account just for asking ^^). Why is transparent power armor banned? Do you HAVE to RP? You said no staff abuse, but how do we know you won't abuse your powers? I mean, anybody can deny it and say they don't have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinerAp Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hey there! Transparent armor is banned because it almost has the same effect than active camo when you drink an invisibility potion! And no, you dont HAVE to RP but there are a few people out there which love to RP! I said no staff abuse because we didn't give our moderators enough power that they could abuse it. We're working really close together with the community and we dont want our community to be disappointed in us! We also updated our server hardware to a Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Hexa-Core and have now a minerap ip: "minerap.com:25566" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StumpyGoblin Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Oh wow, this server looks awesome. One question though before I join, is there a lot of community interaction on a forum or is it all done within the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very true for the majority of servers, vanilla and modded alike. It's hard to find a good server without admins who claim to play legit but then think it's fine to build their homes out of spawned diamond blocks.

It's really hard to underline enough how important this is for us which is why mods dont really have "abusive". I played for a long time on a server and it's always "grief the admin: get wrecked.

One question though before I join, is there a lot of community interaction on a forum or is it all done within the server? This is our "forum" - http://www.reddit.com/r/MinerVoltZ/new/ .

ShadowminerX2 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 MineAp, how do you get voltz to 1.5.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Capin Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi some friends and i have been playing minecraft a while on the xbox but just recently got it on pc as well, we've been playing around with the volts pack quite a bit last few weeks and are looking for a faction server where we can compare our build skills against others. My questions are, is this server still active (i'v had a look n its still up with a really good connection but no one was online) and are we able to start our own faction on it? We are all into RP to varying degrees some of us more than others and there is at least 5 of us maybe more interested, we all live in same city in scotland and i thought this server sounded perfect for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
