Alright as with the rules of engagement these are the new rules to be released for the main and korcraft server pending review and the launch of the 1.5 update. Feel free to comment, and make suggestions/point out loopholes

are we aloud to claim a temple and then change it to fit our needs? like for a house?

clarified that rule, yes you can do as you wish with it if you plan to live in it.

So can I take a quarry to a battle tower?

5) No Stealing.

That is half the fun. Looking for peoples chests full of diamonds or whatever is like an easter egge hunt.
Finding a good hiding place for your home and your chests is also part of the fun and the challenge. A game without challenge is not fun and becomes boring very fast. You stockpile stuff and make stuff... to me thats not very exciting or challenging.

that's a good point hisgun, i have to admit i got rather bored with my giant vanilla castle and mountain of resource >.> how does

5) Stealing is limited to five(5) stacks per 24 hours from any one(1) faction/player.

sound, with interchangeable numbers of course?

Making stuff is the reason I play Minecraft. Like I have stated several times before Minecraft isn't meant to be a pvp game. I shouldn't have worry about who I can trust in my base or who finds it. When I am working on a project I keep large amounts of material in chests and would be very unhappy if I logged in to find half my machines missing or my chests busted open because some 14 year old decided it would be funny to rob me.

I agree with Zodiac. I don't want people stealing my resources and stuff. Especially if I'm not on for awhile, then come on and everything is missing.

This may be a sound idea in principle, but how will you be able to regulate that? what if all of the factions decide to invade one place and steal everything? And what if several people from the same faction each take 5 stacks of stuff? And you don't specify the size of a 'stack', most would think it's 64, so would that mean i could steal 5x64 diamond swords if someone has that? Just trying to help.
