Protections
Protections are essential in TimGaming. By protecting the land you build your house on, you protect it from griefing. To set up a protection, you need to be rank User, and you will need a wooden stick. If you do not have one use /kit woodtools to acquire one!
- First you need to left click one corner of the area you wish to protect with a wooden stick.
- Then you need to right click the opposite diagonal corner of the protection with that stick.
- Once you have done this all you need to do now is type the following command /protect <name>
To check how much the protection will cost before purchase use /protect <name> -c All protections are prices as (Length*Width*10) Here's a quick visual protection guide! http://timgaming.com/threads/8509
Inactive Protections
If you are inactive for 3+ months. Your protection is open for claim. HOWEVER, the protection will not be loot-able. If requested of the region removed. It will be rolled back to before it had anything built (changed), and then the protection is removed. This means looting of the protection not going to happen.
e.g. (/rg select REGIONNAME, /lb rollback selection time 999 days, /rg remove REGIONNAME)
Worlds
The main world is where you call home. You free to explore and build anywhere you like. We strongly recommend you protect your land to prevent griefing by other players. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you try to keep this world tidy. Please refrain from mining clear across the map or leaving partially harvest trees around. This is what the Mining World is for!
TimGaming provides special purpose worlds for our players. We have a PvP world to let you work your aggression out and a Mining World to provide you with virtually unlimited resources. We also showcase all of our previous worlds as "museum maps"... Tour the epic builds of past maps! The Nether, End, and mining worlds are all reset periodically for a fresh new experience!
