'''Can I have ops/creative?'''


'''Why isn't the ip working? I can't log in.'''
No, but we do have a creative world. /queue creative.


Make sure there isn't a trailing space at the end of the ip, if you have copy pasted it from themrepic's video.


'''How do I see who is online?'''


'''Can I join the server using a cracked client/hacked client/Bedrock edition?'''
Press tab.

To join the server you will need a premium Minecraft Java Edition account. Using hacks are against the rules and are therefore punishable with a ban. But, texture packs, shaders, and mini-maps are all fine. If you are unsure if a mod you are using is allowed, then ask a staff member.

/ticket create <all the details needed for its completion> Mark the corners in a square region around the land you want claimed. Remember, those in charge of reading these /tickets will simply delete them if they do not explain things specifically.
You don't anymore, but you can warp to them with /warp wxt_<gatename>




'''Is there a way to get to my favorite destinations besides setting my home there?'''
'''Is LAAAAGGG!!! the appropriate was to let us know you're experiencing lag?'''


As luck would have it, yes! There is a list of exciting sights at /spawn, and a stargate there to travel to them! You can make your own stargates, and also use Runecraft to create waypoints and other methods of travel.
Absolutely not, it does nothing but frustrates the higher ups. Every server is plagued with issues from time to time, and the best was to handle it is to politely state the issue. (Block lag? Warping Lag? Loading Lag?) Try /tps to see if maybe it is YOU who lags.




'''Can I have free stuff?'''
'''What is a Stargate? How do I use it?'''


Stargates are the obsidian rings you will see standing at /spawn and other places. Hit the lever and it will prompt you to type /dial <gatename> Then step through! You can build your own stargates by simply constructing the obsidian parts, adding the lever and turning it on. It will prompt you to type /nxcomplete <gatename> and charge a 100p creation fee. This fee will be returned if you choose to delete the stargate with /nxremove.
No. Unless you can type, then do /kit.




'''Is it okay to be racist, sexist, or any other kind of bigot on the server?'''
'''I need help from a Moderator, but none are online. What should I do?'''

Of course not, this server abides by the same rules as polite company.


On the rare occasion no staff are online, you can use the following command in game to open a ticket: /ticket create <msg>. A moderator will see your message the next time they log on. Use this for region requests, to report griefing, harrassment, cheating, etc.

As luck would have it, yes! /warp 12spawn to see a list of interesting old wxt warps!


'''Who runs this server?'''

Rbos. Mostly Rbos.


No. Read the question about being a bigot.. We do ask that people address moderators in english where possible.


'''Do the admins/mods like to be bothered by everyone when they sign on?'''


'''Is LAAAAGGG!!! the appropriate way to let us know you're experiencing lag?'''
No, they have been running a server for longer than most of us have played the game. Trust me, if they want to talk to you/join your city, they'll let you know.

By filing a /ticket at the location of the incident and with all the details needed for its completion. Remember, those in charge of reading these /tickets will simply delete them if they do not explain the problem specifically. (In the case of land protection, mark out corners)

Is Novylen really the oldest still-running Minecraft server? Do you have proof?
It depends on your definition of "server" and the criteria you are using to determine which is the oldest. We are "one of the oldest known Minecraft servers". The server went online the day of the release of Minecraft Multiplayer Wed Aug 04 10:12:39 PDT 2010, hosting rbos' infdev single-player world - and has not reset its' map since [1][2][3]. We also host a creative world with builds copied over from rbos' old Minecraft Classic server. The server has gone through limited downtime, mainly for server maintenance and when updating to a new patch. .


Why isn't the ip working? I can't log in.

Make sure there isn't a trailing space at the end of the ip, if you have copy pasted it from themrepic's video.


Can I join the server using a cracked client/hacked client/Bedrock edition?

To join the server you will need a premium Minecraft Java Edition account. Using hacks are against the rules and are therefore punishable with a ban. But, texture packs, shaders, and mini-maps are all fine. If you are unsure if a mod you are using is allowed, then ask a staff member.


How do I set a home?

/home set <homename> You can set up to 5 homes.


How do I protect my region?

/ticket create <all the details needed for its completion> Mark the corners in a square region around the land you want claimed. Remember, those in charge of reading these /tickets will simply delete them if they do not explain things specifically.


Is there a way to get to my favorite destinations besides setting my home there?

As luck would have it, yes! There is a list of exciting sights at /spawn, and a stargate there to travel to them! You can make your own stargates, and also use Runecraft to create waypoints and other methods of travel.


What is a Stargate? How do I use it?

Stargates are the obsidian rings you will see standing at /spawn and other places. Hit the lever and it will prompt you to type /dial <gatename> Then step through!

I need help from a Moderator, but none are online. What should I do?

On the rare occasion no staff are online, you can use the following command in game to open a ticket: /ticket create <msg>. A moderator will see your message the next time they log on. Use this for region requests, to report griefing, harrassment, cheating, etc.

Is it okay to be racist, sexist, or any other kind of bigot on the server?

Of course not, this server abides by the same rules as polite company.
