Hi guys, I have connected after few weeks and cannot find my residence. At the place I have appeared there's somebody else's house. I still have the same items. when I type /home, server tells me that it cannot find that destination or something along that lines. I haven't received any e-mails to the address in my profile or related alerts. Can anybody tell me what happened?! Where is my house!?
If you have been gone from the empire for a month, without voting, or going on the server, your residence has gone derelict. In other words, where your residence was is somebody else's property. You will have to claim a new residence.
WHAT? Without any notice? What the hell is e-mail for? I find this extremely frustrating, guys. I'm not sure I want to build at EMC now
trust me ...itll be worth it...come back and start over....i understand its frustrating losing all your handwork but it'll be worth it it the future...if you need any rupees or items ...msg me and ill see what i can do for you !!!
That's very nice of you but even if I start over, I can't guarantee I'll be able to return sooner than a month. I'm a working person and while I do enjoy Minecraft I can't afford to spend too much time on it. My imagination would be that I'd normally return like once in few months. I guess playing online is just not the right thing for me...
You can't blame the server for something you done. Also you can't expect to get an email telling you you're about to go derelict...
If you vote on one of the sites listed here, it resets the 30 day leave limit (and gives you some funds bonus). Set a reminder so that every 20 or so days you vote, and you will never lose your residence again.
Voting is a pretty easy way to keep ontop of things (about 30 seconds to vote once). If you know you'll be away, you can message staff. You might be able to find someone who is more active and will let you share their residence. You can also stick valuables in your vault or hold them on your person before you leave. Or you can just live out far in the wilderness and that has never been reset. Obviously, people could grief you or steal things in the months you are away, though it's unlikely if you go far out.
Another option is to purchase the Permanent Derelict Protection voucher. Your res will never be reset again no matter how long you are gone for.
