To start a siege you must place a colored banner outside the town you wish to siege. The cost to start a siege is $75 per chunk owned by the town you are sieging you can use a white banner to surrender. A siege lasts 3 days to earn points you need to either capture the banner or kill enemies. For each kill, you receive 150 points and once you control the banner you gain 10 points for every 20 seconds you maintain control of it you must remain within 16 blocks of the banner to hold control. During a siege, keep inventory is on for all guards, assistants, and the mayor/king of the town and nation if they are within the siege zone which is within 150 blocks of the siege banner. You can only earn points during the battle time which is announced in chat and can be seen with /siegewar hud (town) these battle sessions last for 50 minutes at a time. At the end of the 3 days, the winner of the siege is decided if the siege balance is negative the defenders win if the balance is positive the attackers win. The defenders will receive all of the money that the attacking town paid to start the siege if they win and if the attacking team wins they must place a chest outside the town they sieged this will plunder the town and reward them with $40 per chunk the defending team owns and they will be refunded the initial siege cost they paid to start the siege.

➥ Economy
The economy on this realm is different from what you see on the rest of the network. On Earth, there will not be a centralized server shop, instead, players can create their own shops and they will all be listed in a directory at /playershops. To get materials, you will need to gather it yourself from this vast world or through quests (town and solo quests) and the Cash Cow.
There will be a 15,000 x 15,000 1.16 nether world also available to gather materials as well. Town creation & outposts are disabled in the nether.

You can teleport randomly to a continent using the command /wild, /continent, or /continents. This will open a GUI which will allow you to select a specific continent to teleport to. Each teleportation will cost $50. You starting balance will be $50 when you first join the realm so don't worry about not being able to afford a random location right off the bat!
➥ Spawn & Player Markets
There is a brand new spawn. It is much bigger than last season's spawn. You will find a PvP warp, a feature that last season lacked. There is also a very exciting new addition: player markets.
There are two types of player markets: Queue based and bidding based.
- You may only own one market at a time.
- You may not bid or queue for markets while owning a market. Meaning you have to wait till your market rent duration is up before you can go back in line for to get another market rent.
- If you are bidding or queuing for amarket, your bid/queue will be removed once you successfully rent a market
- There is a cooldown for when you can queue/bid for a new market once the market you are renting expires.
- There is a limit for how many players can queue up for a specific market stall.
- You have to pay a fee to join a queue for a market.
- When a queue-based market rent is up, the next player in the queue will get the market for the period. Then so on.
- A bidding-based market goes back up for auction once its rent is up.
- Every item/block placed in the market stall will be deleted once the rent period expires.
