-== How do I play? ==
+== What to know before starting PirateCraft? ==
-Start [https://minecraft.net/ minecraft], Click ''Multiplayer'' and click ''Add Server''; Server Name: PirateCraft, Server Address: '''mc.piratemc.com'''.<br />
-<blockquote>
-Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things. It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It's pretty.</blockquote>
-== What type of server is PirateCraft? ==
+Please start by reading the [[Rules]].
-Hard Survival.
-You can start off by exploring the wild and getting to an unclaimed area where you can begin to start a new life after being ship wrecked. Another option is sacrificing £15 to access the wild through one of the /warps (/warp North, /warp East, /warp South, /warp West).
+This is a PvP Survival server with a pirate theme and role playing. This guide will help you get started with the basics.
-Type /kits to see what kits (kits contain tools etc) you have, every rank you get promoted to, you get a new kit.
+Please note that staff members (shown in red, orange, and blue) are primarily available to ensure players are following the rules. As it says in the [[Rules]], respect the staff and listen to them. As a rule they generally do not return lost items, settle disputes, or provide other getting started assistance outside of what can be found in this guide.
-You start of with £25, you can easily get food, or any required item you wish, just type /warp shop, /warp trade, /warp skyshop,/warp cove, i personally perfer /warp cove it have many markets and also looks very nice, you can mine common supplies and other blocks or minerals and sell those goods for money,
+Do not cheat, exploit glitches, or run any client mods. Do not discuss or advertise another server or service. These actions will get you banned permanently.
-== Can I join a crew? ==
+== How to Get Started ==
-Start by surviving a few nights and making friends on the server.
-Some beginners start by asking around for players that want more crew members. This usually doesn't work so usually successful beginners start off by surviving on their own for a while before possibly joining crews with new pirate friends. ~aniviankevinlu
+First visit our [http://map.piratemc.com live map] and get familiar with the world.  Locate the various warps (cove, north, south, east, west) and find a place you want to call home.
-== How do I sail a ship? ==
+Start [https://minecraft.net/ minecraft], Click ''Multiplayer'' and click ''Add Server''.
-You need to /rank up first or /donate to bypass gaining stats.

-After having the correct rank to be able to sail ships (Cadet or higher), you can sail ships by using signs and a golden hoe. A golden hoe can be purchased at any of the shops on the server (/warp shop, /warp skyshop, / warp trade or /warp cove). To set up the control signs, place a sign down and on the first line, write the name of the ship. Right click the sign to take control of the ship. Right click with a golden hoe in the direction you would like to travel in. 2 other signs are optional. A sign with [helm] in the first line can be used to rotate the ship. a sign with "Cruise: Off" on the first line can be used sort of like an autopilot. ~aniviankevinlu
+Click ''Done'' and then click the server name to join. After joining for the first time use ''/warp cove'' and look around, get familiar with this area as it’s a safe PvP free area to explore and where you will usually trade with other players. Once you are ready to set out on your own use one of the ''/warp [direction]'' locations to get started.
-== Where should I start? ==
+If you need food or starter equipment, type ''/kits'' to see what kits (kits contain tools etc) you have, every rank you get promoted to, you get a new kit. Fishing is a good source for new players to find food and other useful items. You can also buy and sell goods including food, see [[Money & Economy]] for details. Please do not beg for food or other items/services from players.
-A lot of the places near spawn will be claimed and/or stripped of resources. Find a new place somewhere far away. Use the [[live map]] on the PirateCraft website for help.
+== Making a Claim ==
-== How do I make my base secure? ==
+Once you have arrived where you want to build place your chest to claim that area. Then use the ''/sethome'' command so you will respawn there after dying. You can also sleep in a bed to set your respawn point different than ''/home''. Be sure to put a non-siegeable block (like stone bricks) on top of your chest to prevent other players from stealing it’s contents. You can find out what blocks can be broken (aka “Soft blocks”) in a siege by using ''/info siege''. You will need a gold shovel to expand your claim so get to digging and read [[claims and siege]] for more information.
-PirateCraft uses a [[claim]] system called GriefProtection. You can use a golden shovel to right click the opposite corners of a square area to make it yours. A claimed area is safe from griefing. However, chests CAN be opened in a claimed area! Unless you want your base to be plundered of all its valuables, be sure to put a stone brick block on all of your chests so their lids won't unbolt when you right-click on them. Beware that levers and buttons can be activated if someone kills you while doing a /siege in your claim. Make sure you claim every block in your secure base area so no one sets a /sethome. If this does happen to you, you can report them on the PirateCraft [http://piratemc.com/forums/ forums] as this is a form of harassment. For more info on claim mechanics, check out the wiki article called [[claims and siege]].
+== Crews, Ships, and Cannons ==
-== Who can be trusted? ==
+Start by surviving a few nights and making friends on the server. It usually takes a little while to get invited to a crew. Optionally you and your friends can create a new crew, see the [[Crews]] page for details.
-I would advise newcomers to avoid other players until they have gathered sufficient resources to survive. As Piratecraft is a PvP server, there will always be someone out to get you unless you're playing with a trusted friend.
+For information on building ships use ''/info ships'' or you can ''/warp ships'' to see some existing examples. Help on building and using cannons can be found by using ''/info cannons'' or ''/warp cannons'' to see some examples. You may also read about [[Ships]] and [[Cannons]] right here.
-If a stranger asks to teleport to you, do not in anyway accept it as they could be there to kill you and siege your property, if you must meet someone early on meet them at spawn where PvP is disabled.
+In most cases these features require you to rank up. You can read about the various [[Ranks]] for more information. You can also [http://stats.piratemc.com check your stats online] but don’t worry if they are a little out of date. Keep playing and you will rank up. If you would prefer you can ''/donate'' to skip some rank requirements.
-I would also advise you to try and join a crew early on as this is a game where strength in numbers really is everything but try not to beg to join a crew as it will only annoy people.
+== Will Pirates Attack? ==
+Most pirates will avoid attacking new players just joining the server, at least for a little while. To be safe keep your distance from other pirates in the wild until you have sufficient resources to survive. As Piratecraft is a PvP server, there will always be someone out to get you unless you're playing with a trusted friend. Avoid accepting teleport requests from people you do not trust. Building farther inland and away from other people and warps can also help isolate you from wandering pirates.
+== What do we Expect ==
+We expect you to be polite and considerate of other players and staff. Harassment will not be tolerated nor will trolling or use of profanity. Depending on the severity you will likely be muted, jailed, or temporarily banned.
+Staff members expect you to be quiet and serve your time if you are punished for something.  Profess your innocence if you must, but once and only ONCE. If you can prove your innocence, ask the op politely if they would like to see it. If they say "No", then just drop it. Arguing will earn you a more severe punishment 100% of the time.
