Intro
Elite Isle uses a chunk-based claiming system called "Lands". This allows you to form towns, nations, and even start wars. When you spawn into the server you receive a tool that makes claiming easier and a camp tool. The claims tool runs /lands selection to select chunks you want to claim. The camp tool lets you create a temporary claim that lasts for 24 hours.
Basics
In order to join a town, you can accept incoming town invites with /lands invites. Once you have enough money you can start your own town by typing /claim or /land create while standing on a chunk you would like to claim. If you do not have enough money to make a town you can create a temporary claim called a camp by placing down the campfire you received when joining the server. A guide on earning and using money here.
Nations
Once you have established a town and gained some members you might want to join a nation. Nations are groups of towns usually nearby each other or allied for a cause. You can start your nation's journey with /nation help. Nations can be a powerful force if organized properly. Your nation might want to be a peaceful trading alliance or a massive empire.
Wars
On this server, we try our best to maintain a careful balance between being able to build in peace while also throwing in some PvP and combat. To earn points in the war, kill enemies during battles, or set up capture points in their land. While war is fun it's not for everyone, if you would not like to participate in a war just decline the war declaration. For info on starting and participating in wars type /war help.
