I was wondering, can you create a residence on this server, and if so, how? If I could get an answer that would be great because I'm still unfamiliar with some parts of the server
Do you have a claimed residence? (To check to /home) If not do /smp then choose what smp you would like to live on (Except Utopia, only of supporters) then do /open then /claim If you already have a residence and want to move to a different smp do, /home then /res unclaim and do what I said on the paragraph above.
The new player guide may be helpful, I recommend giving it a read https://empireminecraft.com/wiki/guide/
