Orders

You can usually play casually as long as you do not work against the plan. Casual players often contribute through farming, mining, building, hauling, and maintenance. On stricter servers, key defenses or war events may be expected, so check attendance and rank expectations before committing.

Joining is typically a spawn choice, an application, or an invite. Switching depends on the rules: some allow transfers with cooldowns, others treat it like betrayal and gate it behind diplomacy, punishments, or permadeath. If you like flexibility, look for clear policies on leaving, rejoining, and alt accounts.

Factions are often about claims and raw power first. Orders puts more weight on internal structure: ranks, responsibilities, permissions, and coordinated projects shaping everyday play. Many servers blend both, but if the group hierarchy and duties are the main driver, it is an Orders style experience.

Not always. Some lean into lore, titles, and in-character diplomacy. Others keep it practical and treat ranks as organization for PvP and logistics. Read the rules and watch how players talk in chat to see whether you are expected to stay in character.

Set up near the Order base, learn the travel rules, and ask what is currently urgent. Starting with unglamorous supply work pays off fast: food, blocks, rockets, spare gear, or repairing walls. On most Orders servers, movement and logistics are the real advantage, so learn the nether routes early.
