Hello and welcome to The Storm.
Here, I will be describing just a bit about how the server works.

First, crystals. Crystals are the currency used in ‘The Storm’. You can currently gain them by doing quests, which I will get to later, The mob arena, and Trading/Buying/Selling with other players on the server.

One quick thing about the spawn. The spawn area is a 1000x1000 space in which the spawn point is held at 0,0. You will notice you can't break anything and can't pvp in that area. You must go out of the 1000x1000 area to start building and or pvping. Note: thats aprx 500 blocks in any direction from spawn.

Click on the tabs to go more detain into the topics!

Quests: First, you must be a commoner to do these. As you are on the forums you must be a commoner. If you are not a commoner yet, then restart your minecraft and you will be a commoner!
Quests are lazy people asking you to do things. Basically people holding a sign, “Please be my slave for money.”

How to tell: You can tell if a person is asking for a quest if there are enchanting symbols around their body.

To start a quest: Right click their body and they will reply with a short summary of their quest and ask you if you would take the quest or not. Simply answer in chat ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Obviously if you state ‘yes’ they continue with the quest. If you reply ‘no’ they just shut up and you can move on. :D

These quest workers will ask you to do such tasks and at the end of everything give you a reward.
You can only have 1 quest at a time so be careful which one you choose!
Do ./quests for in-depth commands for the quests

Perks: These perks are classes you can become throughout the game. There are people at the spawn area that will ‘train’ you how to become these classes by giving them crystals.
After you get your perks: After you train and get the perk you can use the command

./setprefix [Perk]. An example of this would be ./setprefix commoner, ./setprefix Mechanic etc.

These perks will give you the power to gain specific abilities that come with that specific perk. The pros of having more perks are the fact that it makes regular survival more interesting with new powers and abilities. Play around with them!
You can figure out more things about perks and their ability at a mmo wiki.

Note: You can be multiple classes/ Obtain multiple perks at once. Although you can only have One prefix at once.

Power Levels: These power levels are obtained by doing an act of some sort. For example, you would gain mining levels when you mine. You can get archery levels when you shoot the bow and hit a mob/player. etc.

These levels max out at 250 per skill. ex. If you have 250 mining levels, you wont get more levels from mining.
Currently, the max total levels can’t exceed 1500 but soon will change or can be bought to raise the max level.
You can see how the levels will benefit you by using the command ./[Skill] Ex. ./mining ./acrobatic etc.

Different Worlds: There is the Regular World, The Nether, The End, and The Sky Lands.
You can access the sky lands by standing on the beacon light at spawn. The sky lands are the regular world buy on small floating islands. As of now, if you fall off, you lose everything as you fall into the void. Be careful.

The end and the nether are the same as in vanilla minecraft. You must go into a nether portal or an end portal.

You can check the worlds by going on to the Live map.

MobArena: The mob arena has 8 different classes. Currently 72 levels. every level with the unit digit of 5, there is a swarm. Aka, a stampede of 1hp mobs harassing you. Every 10 levels, these is a boss. You get crystal prizes as soon as the boss is on the field. Prizes of crystals start on level 30.
The current classes are

The brief summary of the classes:
Madman: OverPowered diamond axe, with strength and speed pots. Amazing for hoards and bosses. The armour is terrible.
Healer: Decent armour with 2 stacks of health splash potions. Terrible sword but amazing support class.
Chemist: Get tons of potions from poison to instant damage. Armour and sword are alright.
WolfMaster: Comes with wolves. Full leather armour and the sword is weak. The dogs will almost protect you from anything and will be extremely helpful in boss fights.
Guardian: fire sword, decent armour. Comes with strenght and health pots. It can withstand hits and hit hard.
Knight: Good sharp III diamond sword and good armour. Standard kit.
Tank: Can withstand many hits. It has a good knockback and fire aspect sword that can give you recovery. Can withstand through crowds and help people in need.
Archer: Power V flame bow. Can one shot almost all mobs with 15 health or lower. It also has 3 dogs to help you kill in short distance fights when you are attacked from behind. If you are not aware of your surroundings, a creeper can OHKO you as well. Weak defence, strong power.

Creating towns and shops: You can buy towns and shops in the server. To buy a shop, you must have the perk [ShopKeeper]. To go more elaborate into towns, use the command ./town or ./town ?. To get started on a town, it costs 2500 for the first chunk. 30 crystals on the next few chunks. The rent is 100 crystals per day.

What happens when you can't pay the rent? Well, you just dont get to own that town and you are at spot one again.
What are the pros of making a town. The main reason is that no one can break your blocks except for the people you allow in your town. This means that everything in your town is protected. You can also change the settings and set pvp off or some other things.

Well once again, have fun on the server. Check the rules on the forums and do ./rules in game. Some rules may not be stating in the ./rules section but use common sense. Hacking, and being rude is not acceptable.

Ill continue and update this as the days go on and riot decided to make some updates.
 
I think it's really good to start this project off, and I like the ideas presented here, but I also really believe that this needs to be edited to have more detailed, conclusive, and solid explanations. If you welcome it and grant me permission, I am more than willing to help with this and contribute some writings and ideas to it as well, Cinna. A few examples of things that would need fixing up are like telling where the beacon for the Skylands is located [at spawn]. Thanks!
