Server features

Opt-in PvP

Everyone starts with PvP off. A hit lands only when both players have PvP on and neither is standing in a safe zone.

• /pvp shows your status. /pvp on takes effect at once.
• /pvp off waits until 30 seconds have passed with no PvP hit. Any hit restarts the wait, and /pvp on cancels it. Toggling has a 3 second cooldown.
• Safe zones cover 96 blocks around the world spawn and 64 blocks around the Pagoda arrival point, plus any zone staff have drawn. Sect land is not a safe zone.
• Combat tag. If you hit someone or were hit in the last 30 seconds, a safe zone does not protect you.
• Picking on the weak costs you. Start a fight with someone at least one whole realm below you and you take +8 karma and lose 30 merit, once per fight.
• Spirit beasts and retainers count as their owner.
• Duels are always allowed and never penalized. Cultivation's Path War and Aura Pressure ignore /pvp.

Downed players

When another player takes you to zero health you are downed, not killed. You are left at 1 health, crawl slowly, and cannot attack, use or drop items, open chests or use Pagoda stations.

• You bleed out after 45 seconds.
• Reviving. Anyone who crouches within 2.5 blocks of you for 5 seconds gets you back up at a quarter of your health.
• Any hit from a player finishes you. Being downed again within 60 seconds of getting up is death.
• Logging out, teleporting, changing world or jumping more than 8 blocks while downed counts as a death, credited to whoever downed you.
• /surrender (or /ransom) offers items to the player who downed you. They have 20 seconds to answer, your bleed timer pauses while they decide, and you get three offers. If they accept, you get up and the two of you are under a 60 second truce.

The Spawn Pagoda

New players arrive on the jade seal of a large pagoda. Its stations open the menus you would otherwise type a command for:

Three attendants stand inside: the Pagoda Steward on the first floor, who greets you and gives directions, the Pagoda Auctioneer on the second, and the Trial Gatekeeper at the top.

Chat

Chat lines show who is speaking at a glance: the sect tag in the sect's banner color, the speaker's realm, their title, then their name.

Game chat is bridged to a channel in the Discord server. What you say in game appears there under your name with your skin as the avatar, and Discord messages appear in game marked [Discord]. Typing @name^ in game pings that Discord member; @everyone and @here never ping.

The channel also carries server news: joins and first joins, breakthroughs, sects founded and sect wars, ascensions, Secret Realms, Beast Tides, and weddings.

Linking your Discord

1. In game, run /link. You get a code that is good for 10 minutes.
2. In Discord, run /link with that code. Only you see the reply, and the game confirms the link.

To unlink, use /link remove in game or /unlink in Discord. Linked players can be given Discord roles for being linked, for their current realm, and for 24 hours of playtime.

Discord commands

The bot answers these in Discord:

Playtime

The server keeps your first join, your total playtime and when you were last on.

• /playtime (or /played) shows how long you have played and how long you have been here.
• /playtime with a name works for players who are online.
• /seen with an exact name works even when they are offline.

The server card

A card on the right of your screen shows a welcome line, the server address, your race, your title, your playtime and your PvP status (off, on, on in a safe zone, or turning off). Rows with nothing to show hide themselves.

Commands at a glance

Everything else is the Cultivation mod's own: see its commands.
