Welcome to Aloria, the world in which Massivecraft Roleplay takes place! This is a guide meant to help new players acclimate themselves to Massivecraft’s Lore and Roleplay scene.  
Welcome to the New Player Guide. By the time you reach the end of this page, you should know absolutely everything you need to know to get started on Massivecraft. The information on here will help you dip your toes into the lore, create a character, and step straight into roleplay as quickly as possible. Sometimes it is difficult to broach a new canon, so things are kept as brief and comprehensive as they can be. Do not be afraid to ask questions in the community discord, which is linked later in this guide. Other players or staff members should be able to help clear up any confusion.


==Getting into Roleplay==
==What is Massivecraft?==
The Roleplay hub of MassiveCraft is the city of Regalia! To reach Regalia, type “/tp Regalia”. From there, you walk straight until you reach the Golden Willow Tavern. The Tavern is the central meeting-ground for those seeking Roleplay. It is here that you can meet new people, form stalwart friendships, and make despised enemies. At the tavern, walk around and try interacting with other individuals. Some characters may be more receptive to yours than others! Keep talking to others and keep in mind these few tips.
Massivecraft is a factions, survival, and roleplay server. This guide is for the roleplayers specifically. In the context of Massivecraft, roleplay is an activity based on portraying fictional characters in a setting where they interact with other fictional characters. If you have not roleplayed before, imagine it like a collaboratively written book where every character is played by a different person. Sort of like a play, but all the actors are acting through text instead of speech and motion. We use Minecraft as a medium to give visual aid and immersion to the roleplay, as sometimes a purely text-based setting can be hard to mentally picture and difficult to focus on.

==Different Emoting Symbols==
===Important Concepts===
Emotes are a pivotal part of roleplay with which you are able to convey action. They are added at the end of each sentence you write when you mean to have your character perform an action or when you’re simply describing. They can also dictate the manner in which your character speaks. Here are the emotes you’ll need to know:
*'''IC:''' In Character. This encompasses everything in-universe, from the viewpoint of your character. Anything that is IC stays IC, such as how your character feels, what they are thinking, what they are doing, et cetera.
*”+” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is in action or when you’re describing your character to other players. For example: “The man made his way into the tavern.+” or “The man wore fine robes made of silk.+”
*'''OOC:''' Out of Character. This encompasses everything that isn't inside Aloria or a thing in roleplay. When players are aimlessly jumping around and not roleplaying they are OOC. Gameplay mechanics and systems are mostly OOC.  
*”))” is added at the end of your sentence if you’re trying to speak out of character. This generally helps with the communication of roleplayers while rp goes on. For example: “How tall is your character? Just asking for reference.))” or “I’ll be back in a second, need to take out the trash.))”
*'''Powergaming:''' Powergaming is the act of taking control of other people's characters in emotes or doing things you realistically cannot do. For example, typing out that someone else fails to block your sword-swing and gets cut is considered powergaming.
*”$” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is meant to mutter. Mutters are a little louder than whispers and can be heard from about 6 blocks away. For example: “Lower your voice, I don’t want the group beside us to hear.$” or “What time did you say we were meant to depart?$”
*'''Metagaming:''' Metagaming is the use of OOC knowledge, IC. Your character does not know everything you know OOC. There are lots of ways that people can metagame, some conscious, some not conscious. We have a longer [[Metagaming]] page with some examples if you are curious and want to read further.
*”*” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is whispering. Whispers are heard from 1 to 3 blocks away, meant for a sole person to hear, usually. For example: “I think we should take our leave now.*” or “We need to speak about something later.*”
*We have a [[Roleplay Rules]] page with more rules, but they can basically all be understood by understanding these terms.
*”#” is added at the end of your sentence when you mean to set the scene or simply describe the setting in a room. It’s also used during events for NPC’s. For example:  “Those who entered the room would smell a strong vanilla fragrance.#” or “Distant footsteps could be heard from outside the room.#”
*”>” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is singing song lyrics or cheerily speaking in a singing tone. For example: “I have never met a woman like a woman from Regalia!>” or “ Oh dearest sister come out, come out, wherever you are!>”
*”@” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is announcing something. Announcing emotes cover a large radius and should not be used all the time. They’re generally used for events or when speaking to large crowds. For example: “Come one, come all, denizens of Regalia!@“ or “Everyone please disperse the area at once!@“
*”&” is added at the end of your sentence when your character is commanding or ordering. Generally used while doing guard roleplay or when giving a strict order or demand to another character. For example: “Rally men, come on now!&” or “Stop what you’re doing right now!&”


==Where To Get Your Start==
==The Setting==
There are plenty of things to do in Regalia and different types of Roleplay to get yourself involved in. The following are Roleplay groups defined and categorized based on their traits and what the ‘style’ of Roleplay entails:
Massivecraft is set in a world called Aloria, in a nation called the Regalian Empire. Its story begins after an apocalyptic event called the Cataclysm, which brought an end to an equally apocalyptic demonic invasion. In the Cataclysm, many lands were wracked with natural disasters, such as flooding, earthquakes and volcanoes, while governments collapsed and many died. The demonic invasion and Cataclysm destroyed the main world power of the time, the Allorn Empire, which was reliant on Magic. Its former slave populations, now liberated, broke free and scattered across the known world as Kingdoms established themselves elsewhere and the Allorn successor states did their best to rebuild. One powerful state which emerged was the Regalian Empire, controlled by a people called the Ailor. Unified under their Emperor, they quickly established themselves as a military power. Over the three centuries following the Cataclysm, the Regalian Empire would become a world hegemon, annexing lands on multiple continents. As it expanded, it became increasingly diverse and nuanced, and in the modern day every race and creed can be found in Regalia.
*'''Noble Roleplay'''
 
**Noble Roleplay is meant for those who wish to portray someone of higher class and authority on the surface of Regalia. The ruling class is ripe with House rivalries and conflict where wittiest and most politically savvy survive. It also comes with noble etiquette and politics that must be followed and that one must step over carefully, lest you wish to get called out by your noble peers. It’s a rough, yet rewarding climate where your goal is to see your family to the top by representing or running it to the best of your abilities so that you might bring glory, honor, and prestige to your house.
But as powerful as it is, the Empire is not alone in Aloria. Its many wars have made it a number of enemies, and in recent years it has fought a number of increasingly strong rivals abroad. The server itself is set within the capital city of the Regalian Empire, aptly named Regalia. It sits on an island at the center of the continent where the Empire originally arose, and is a metropolis millions of citizens strong. Everyone can be found in Regalia, from the long-lived and haughty Nelfin, to the proud and martial Eronidas, to the ever-present and numerous Ailor majority, and everyone in between. Every niche is playable in Regalia. Sorcerers with magic at their fingertips, chivalrous Knights clad in thick armor, and dark Cultists sacrificing to fickle Gods, all have a reason to come to the Imperial Capital. It is recommended that as a new player, you play an Ailor, because their lore is the easiest to understand, and most Regalians are Ailor.
*'''Crime Roleplay'''
 
**Crime Roleplay is perfect for those who want to portray the most dastardly and villainous that Regalia has to offer. From Old Town to the sewers, Criminal Empires rise and fall in the areas below the surface. From mages, races with unique abilities who are shunned on the surface, to hideous creatures that only show themselves underground. It’s a cutthroat climate where the ruthless and calculated succeed where your goal is to create a successful criminal organization or character that is able to call shots and make an impact in the lives and lands of the wicked.
==Getting Started==
*'''Common City Roleplay'''
The first thing you are encouraged to do is to go ahead and join the [https://www.massivecraft.com/discord-roleplay RP Discord], because it is where most roleplay-related OOC communication is done. Once you hop in, it takes ten minutes before you can speak, so don't get dismayed if you have to wait a little bit. Once that is done, you can get to making your character. Massivecraft has a concept called Character Applications, which while '''not required for in-game roleplay''', do offer additional opportunities to enhance your rp. These are basically profile pages that describe what your character is capable of, who they are, and where they are from. This guide will quickly walk you through how to do that so you can get to actually roleplaying as quickly as possible with a lore compliant character. If you have trouble at any point, say something in the Roleplay Community Discord, and someone will help you.
**Common Roleplay is simple and easy to be a part of. A perfect starting point for anyone that is new to roleplay. It consists of the simpler things in life to play out. From making simple conversation with strangers at the Golden Willow Tavern across from spawn, to spilling details and gossip about the happenings around Regalia. Making your own business is also an option. Regalia is yours to explore and make memories in. Roleplay like this is how most players get their start. By making simple conversation that can open the gate to job and business opportunities, friendships, and much more.
 
*'''Military & Guard Roleplay'''
* First, make a forum account. You have to have logged on for that, so go ahead and log into Massivecraft at the IP massivecraft.com, and then hop back off. Then go onto the [https://forums.massivecraft.com/register/ forums] and make an account that shares a username with your Minecraft username.
**This roleplay caters to the bravest and the boldest that Regalia has to offer. Characters who fall into this category are generally built like bricks and are as tough mentally as they are physically; there is no greater honor in Regalia than to serve it by patrolling the streets of the capital for criminals or patrolling the borders of the mighty Empire. The characters who partake in guard roleplay will be tasked to deal with the criminals of regalia. They all fall under the hierarchy of the Violet Order and serve its people, perfect for getting one’s feet wet in combat.  Those interested in the military, however, will fall under the hierarchy of the military cabinet. An advanced system where Regalia’s finest generals and warriors are able to band together and seek glory in the name of the Regalian Empire.
* Then go to the [https://forums.massivecraft.com/forums/character-applications.290/ Character Applications] section and read the [https://forums.massivecraft.com/threads/character-applications-template.54735/ template]. Remember that you do not have to do the optional parts marked in blue.
*'''Magic Roleplay'''
* Make sure you are logged into the forums. In the Character Applications section, there should be a Post New Thread button above all the listed posts. Open one, name the thread after your character, and paste in the template.
**Magic Roleplay is by far one of the most advanced types of roleplays to be a part of and it is recommended that one be knowledgeable about the servers lore and magic before partaking in roleplays that involve the subject or trying it out for yourself. The mages in Regalia are as infamous as they are mysterious, there are some that dedicate their careers to studying magic and its sources of power. Most mages are collared so that they can be registered by the guard as little is known about them to the common guardsman. Playing a mage is both difficult and rewarding, a truly unique scenario to roleplay out. Whether one chooses to use their magic for good or evil is for them to decide.
* Also make sure to change the tag (little box to the left of the title) to Needs Reviewer so staff know to pick up your application.
* The first thing to do is to pick a Race. Skim the [[Races]] section here on the wiki and find one you like. Try not to get lost in the details, just pick whatever fetches your fancy and come back to it later.
* Fill the template out until you get to Skill Information. You will need to read the [[Proficiency]] page to understand how to do this part. Proficiency is the DND-lite system we use to determine characters' skills. Come back when you are done with Proficiencies.
* [[Languages]] are pretty self explanatory based on the Template. Pick what fits your character.
* Special Traits and Mutations are a result of Aberrancy. Not all Aberrancies are available at character creation, so if you want one, pick one that is noted as not requiring a Special Permission. [[Vampire]], [[Cahal]], [[Archblood]], and [[Sorcery|Sorcerer]] are types of Aberrant- blood-drinkers, were-animals, Dragon-servants, and DnD Wizards respectively. Read a bit about them if you want something like this for your character. [[Clockwork]] and [[Alchemy]], steampunk-tech and potion-making respectively, don't go here if you want those. They're either on the skin (Clockwork) or things you carry around and emote when you use them (Alchemy). If you're reading someone else's app and it has a bunch of Abilities you can't make heads or tails of, they probably have a Special Permission. Don't worry about it, move on.
* Fill out Visual Information and Personality. If you do the long-form Personality section, it might be good to come back to some questions after doing the next part. If you are doing the short-form Personality section, it might be better to let the Religion part sit for now.
* You selected a Race earlier. Go back to their page and read through it. Follow any links you want, go deep-wiki diving. This might take a while.
* Go back and sort attitudes and religion. Now you are free to move on to the Backstory. The Backstory should summarize your character's life and explain how they got their Proficiencies, and should be based in the lore.
* When that is done, post the thread. Eventually you will get a notification that says it is under review, and a staff member will clear it or tell you what to change to make it clearable. Feel free to hang out in the Discord while you wait.
* Things like getting a skin and figuring out how to enter roleplay can get settled in there. Ask around, plenty of people are willing to be helpful. Saying "I am a new player making a Vampire" will probably attract some Vampire community members to come help.
 
==The Chat System==
===Channels===
When you first join MassiveCraft you are already viewing a few channels by default. A single letter followed by a colon typed in the chat is used to switch between channels.
:'''l:''' Local, this is the Roleplay channel
:'''g:''' General, this is a server-wide chat
:'''t:''' Trade, mostly pertinent to Factions
:'''r:''' Recruitment,
:'''h:''' Help, ask for help here
You can leave and join channels through /ch join or /ch leave
Doing /ch leave g will make you leave general for example. This is important to reduce chat clutter during roleplay.
 
'''Roleplaying'''
 
Things typed in the Local channel, entered by typing l:, are words stated or emotes performed by your character. Some chat modifiers help distinguish between, say, shouting a command, and jumping from a ledge. Local OOC chat is also accessed from within l:. You add a modifier to what you are typing in Local channel by adding the modifier after what you type. For example, "Is this scene private?))" typed into local chat will make "Is this scene private?" send in local OOC chat, while "Is that door locked?" typed with no modifiers will come out as "CHARACTERNAME says: "Is that door locked?"". You should use modifiers in your roleplay. Make sure to use "/nick use CHARACTERNAME" before you start roleplaying so that the chat plugin can work properly. For example, after using "/nick use Walter Raleigh" and typing "Where are the horses?" into Local channel with no modifiers, "~Walter Raleigh says: "Where are the horses?"" will appear. It is also important to set your name to your character name so that people know you are IC and not just running around.

*You can add a favorite by typing: '''/fav add USERNAME'''

*And finally, remove favorites by typing: '''/fav remove USERNAME'''
 
==Jumping Into Roleplay==
Getting started with roleplay can be a little intimidating if you have no one to ease you in. There are two main ways to get started.
*Just log on and start talking to random people. Great way to get out a few natural interactions and ease yourself in. Run around until you find someone.
*Look for a business to open in the #business-openings section of the Roleplay Community Discord. Then go to it. Guaranteed roleplay with the business owner.
As a rule of thumb, if you are on at a strange hour or are having trouble joining, talk about it in the Roleplay Community Discord. Someone will help you. There are roughly four main 'circles' of roleplay.
*Civilian: slice of life, shopkeeping, everyday light sort of things. Generally easy on the lore and stay out of most major plotlines.
*Guard: Guards enforce [[Regalian_Law|Regalian Law]]. They often get into conflict roleplay with criminals, but also blur into the civilian roleplayers they hang out with in their downtime.
*Crime: those who live in the slums away from the law. They do a lot of combat roleplay and are mostly Aberrants, but also have a domestic civilian atmosphere.
*Noble: the rich and those who work for them. They get most roleplay out of [https://forums.massivecraft.com/forums/progression-events.270/ Progressions], which are big world events. Politics are found here.
Hopefully this guide is of use getting you started in Regalia!

Welcome to the New Player Guide. By the time you reach the end of this page, you should know absolutely everything you need to know to get started on Massivecraft. The information on here will help you dip your toes into the lore, create a character, and step straight into roleplay as quickly as possible. Sometimes it is difficult to broach a new canon, so things are kept as brief and comprehensive as they can be. Do not be afraid to ask questions in the community discord, which is linked later in this guide. Other players or staff members should be able to help clear up any confusion.

What is Massivecraft?

Massivecraft is a factions, survival, and roleplay server. This guide is for the roleplayers specifically. In the context of Massivecraft, roleplay is an activity based on portraying fictional characters in a setting where they interact with other fictional characters. If you have not roleplayed before, imagine it like a collaboratively written book where every character is played by a different person. Sort of like a play, but all the actors are acting through text instead of speech and motion. We use Minecraft as a medium to give visual aid and immersion to the roleplay, as sometimes a purely text-based setting can be hard to mentally picture and difficult to focus on.

Important Concepts

  • IC: In Character. This encompasses everything in-universe, from the viewpoint of your character. Anything that is IC stays IC, such as how your character feels, what they are thinking, what they are doing, et cetera.
  • OOC: Out of Character. This encompasses everything that isn't inside Aloria or a thing in roleplay. When players are aimlessly jumping around and not roleplaying they are OOC. Gameplay mechanics and systems are mostly OOC.
  • Powergaming: Powergaming is the act of taking control of other people's characters in emotes or doing things you realistically cannot do. For example, typing out that someone else fails to block your sword-swing and gets cut is considered powergaming.
  • Metagaming: Metagaming is the use of OOC knowledge, IC. Your character does not know everything you know OOC. There are lots of ways that people can metagame, some conscious, some not conscious. We have a longer Metagaming page with some examples if you are curious and want to read further.
  • We have a Roleplay Rules page with more rules, but they can basically all be understood by understanding these terms.

The Chat System

Channels

When you first join MassiveCraft you are already viewing a few channels by default. A single letter followed by a colon typed in the chat is used to switch between channels.

l: Local, this is the Roleplay channel
g: General, this is a server-wide chat
t: Trade, mostly pertinent to Factions
r: Recruitment,
h: Help, ask for help here

You can leave and join channels through /ch join or /ch leave Doing /ch leave g will make you leave general for example. This is important to reduce chat clutter during roleplay.

Roleplaying

Things typed in the Local channel, entered by typing l:, are words stated or emotes performed by your character. Some chat modifiers help distinguish between, say, shouting a command, and jumping from a ledge. Local OOC chat is also accessed from within l:. You add a modifier to what you are typing in Local channel by adding the modifier after what you type.

For example, after using "/nick use Walter Raleigh" and typing "Where are the horses?" into Local channel with no modifiers, "~Walter Raleigh says: "Where are the horses?"" will appear. It is also important to set your name to your character name so that people know you are IC and not just running around.

Favoriting

A key tool to both see when your friends are logging on and coloring the names of your friends a different color (Or even your own!) is the favorite command.

  • You can add a favorite by typing: /fav add USERNAME
  • Access your list of favorites by typing: /fav list
  • And finally, remove favorites by typing: /fav remove USERNAME

Jumping Into Roleplay

Getting started with roleplay can be a little intimidating if you have no one to ease you in. There are two main ways to get started.

  • Just log on and start talking to random people. Great way to get out a few natural interactions and ease yourself in. Run around until you find someone.
  • Look for a business to open in the #business-openings section of the Roleplay Community Discord. Then go to it. Guaranteed roleplay with the business owner.

As a rule of thumb, if you are on at a strange hour or are having trouble joining, talk about it in the Roleplay Community Discord. Someone will help you. There are roughly four main 'circles' of roleplay.

  • Civilian: slice of life, shopkeeping, everyday light sort of things. Generally easy on the lore and stay out of most major plotlines.
  • Guard: Guards enforce Regalian Law. They often get into conflict roleplay with criminals, but also blur into the civilian roleplayers they hang out with in their downtime.
  • Crime: those who live in the slums away from the law. They do a lot of combat roleplay and are mostly Aberrants, but also have a domestic civilian atmosphere.
  • Noble: the rich and those who work for them. They get most roleplay out of Progressions, which are big world events. Politics are found here.

Hopefully this guide is of use getting you started in Regalia!
