Application Process

When you first join our server, you will have the rank of Gaijin. This rank is given to all visitors of the Shire and people logging on for the first time.

Process

To rank up to obtain permission to build, you must apply for membership using one of the methods below.

Method One (Easy!)

Go to https://shirecraft.us/apply
Fill in the form
Click the verification link in the email we sent to you
Wait for a staff member to promote you

Method Two

Create an account on our forums at www.shirecraft.us/forums (make sure to confirm the account via the confirmation email you will receive upon creating it)
Once you've confirmed your account, create a post in the "Join Us" section of the forums
When writing your application, please include your age, country and what you hope to bring to The Shire and anything else you believe will positively support your application.
Wait for a staff member to review your application

Acceptance

If a staff member chooses to accept your application, then congratulations! Here's the information you need to get going:

Tyrule World

You may now build in our "Tyrule" world (command: /warp Tyrule) where you'll find everything you need to show us your style and skill level and hopefully join us in the main world.

Treat this like an audition: if we like what you create, then you'll be able to do even more on the server. For a taste of what you get when you rank up, please visit https://shirecraft.us/new-yeoman

Getting Started

Important information about getting started:

Building materials may be found below the Tyrule spawn. To get to the materials area, warp to 'Tyrule' (/warp Tyrule). Right-click the "[Free]" signs, or use the buttons, to receive the materials you'd like to work with.
All tools and enchantments can be found by staircases in the materials area. Just right click the signs for the tools, and then with the tool equipped, right click the enchantment signs
Claim a plot using this command: /plot auto (To get back to your plot, use this command: /plot home)
Your Tyrule build does not have to be huge or elaborate. Just something that gives us an idea of your style and skill level

Support

Please feel free to ask us any questions either on the forums or in game. We're happy to help. And if you need assistance from a staff member, we're the folks with either blue or gold titles.

Please Note

If you haven't logged onto the server yet, you'll have to ask a staff member for your Tyrule ranking when you log on for the first time. If you've already logged onto the server, your Tyrule ranking should appear shortly.
