Welcome To Minerealm! By choosing to join this prestigious server you have made a wise investment for your future time that will be wasted while playing Minecraft. But hey, if you are going to waste time, why not waste it on the best server around? This guide is a summary of the main things (In three stages)that a newcomer should do when they join the server for the first time, but note that the full list of rules is posted in the Bans section of the forums, and that more comprehensive advice is located on the Commonly Asked Questions post.
(Multiple Posts Due to Annoying Screen Jump Thing)

Can't wait to start playing? Rules thread too long? Well, if you MUST play RIGHT NOW, read this first. It ups the chances that you don't get banned within the first 30 seconds. But after you get a brief taste, READ THE RULES.

Stage 1: Welcome To Minerealm

You did it! By typing in a few letters and 2 periods, you have successfully joined the Minerealm server! Now, before you take your first steps in this beautiful, exciting world, there are a few things that need to be done.

1. Turn off all Mods. This server is a vanilla server, meaning that the gameplay plays out almost exactly like single player, except there are 90 people. This means no Flymod, SpeedMod, X-Ray, InvincibilityMod, Invisibility Mod, or FullbrightMod. Turn these mods off and NEVER turn them on while you are on the server. Being caught with any of these, see rules for further details, will result in a BAN.
2. Make Sure Your Mods Are Off. Really, the Minerealm community is forgiving but we don't like hackers.
3. Join the Minerealm Community Forums. It's easy, and keeps you in the know!
4. Type "/help". /help knows all.

Stage 2: Someone Just Talked At Me!

Those words you see on the bottom of your screen? That is the chat, which lets you communicate with people. The following is not what you want to do.

ramien123: Hi, welcome to Minerealm dude.
[C]newplayer: WHAT THE F*** ARE THE S BY YOUR NAME YOU C*** I CAN KILL YOU FOR IT PLEASE
[Admin]Intelli: Don't Swear. Don't use all caps.
[C]newplayer: OH HAI ADMIN CAN I HAS YOU SPAWN ME ITEMS YOU C***?!?!PENI*!
[C]newplayer: PENI*PENI*PENI*PENI*PENI*PENI*PENI* (x500)
[C]newplayer: F*** F*** F*** F*** AVO AVO AVO AVO AVO n***** n*****
"newplayer has left the game"
[Admin]Intelli: Banned.

This is bad. Here are some explanations.

1.The S means survival, one of the two servers. The C means creative. Asking what the letter means may make some people dislike you. I don't know why.
2. Admin or Mods are people. Don't call them ADMIN or MOD, use their name. DO NOT ask for people to spawn you items. They cannot do so, only the server owner has the power to do so(Intelli), and he will NEVER do it for anyone.
3. Swearing or Spamming is bad. Think before you speak.

4. Racism: No. BAN. Also, building swatickas is NO.

Stage 3: Doing... Stuff

So you managed to restrain the urge to call the server owner a terrible name, good for you! Now, behave. This is how to do it.

1.Don't Grief. Those torches? You want them. No, you cannot have them. Make your own. We all did. Those buildings? No, you can't break them. That gets you BAN.
2.Don't Steal. Make your own does not mean take other peoples stuff. Getting caught results in a BAN or TEMP BAN if you make a reaaally good appeal.
3.Be Polite. Just because this is internets, and we don't know who you are, you don't have the right to be an ass.
4.Listen To Mods and Admins. If they tell you not to do something, why the hell would you do it? "Hey, this is so fun I love-" BAN.
5.Begging. No. No. No. Do not do this. Nobody will like you. Also, constantly trying to sell something is bad.
6.The Stupid Question. NOYOUCANNOTBEMODORADMIN. Don't ask this in the chat. Post a staff app in the forums. This will not be looked at for a long time. You have very low chances of becoming a mod, almost 0 of becoming an admin.

Well, thats it for the basics. Enjoy your time on Minerealm, and be sure to read the official rules post and other helpful tips spread througout the forums!

Very nice guide. Though from what I heard in game not many people think it is worthwhile. I think that putting it in the terms that you did, people will understand better. I hope this gets promoted by an admin or mod!

This is less a newcomer guide to minerealm and more newcomer to minecraft. And honestly, most people are going to play on the server for a while before they ever come to forums, so while your guide may be interesting, its kinda useless.

In the threads defense I was on the forms for a few days before I logged onto the server...

And what a shining example of competence you turned out to be.

Well, if Ramien had made this earlier I may have turned out differently.

I'm tempted to sig this.
