Magic Adventure is reborn
The Italian Fazioni server reopens, and this time it's all ours
There was a time when it was enough to say Magic Adventure.
Who was there remembers it: the factions that shared the map, the close alliances in chat at two o'clock in the night, the wars that lasted for weeks, the bases built stone on stone and defenses as if they were real. Then the server closed, as so many beautiful things do: for no real reason, simply because the time had come.
That moment is over. Magic Adventure reopens.
The ancient splendours are the starting point, not the finish line.
It's not a copy and it's not a nostalgic comeback. It is the same name and the same idea, but rebuilt from scratch on new foundations: worlds generated from scratch, a site all our own and — above all — custom written plugins, not borrowed from someone else. Nothing in here was copied from another server.
What was there before, we want to reach. And then get over it.
First Mode:
Factions Hardcore
The heart of the server is called MagixFactions. It is not a plugin bought and adapted to the best: it is written for Magic Adventure, line by line, and changes with us.
Banners planted in the territory, fortresses to keep, borders that really matter. Hardcore means that what you lose you really lose: every fall takes Power away from the faction, and Power is earthly.
- The territory is taken and lost: no one holds it by acquired right.
- Alliances weigh as much as swords. And they break.
- He survives on his own. In the faction, he leaves his mark.
A war here is not a duel: it is a week of staking, a tunnel dug under the walls, an ally that comes to its last or that does not come at all. You lose ground at night, while you sleep, and in the morning you find it in another color on the map.
And you can make peace, if it suits both of you. Diplomacy counts here: a pact written in chat is valid as long as it lasts, and when it jumps everyone knows it at the same time.
There is no safe base forever. There is a well-defended base.
It works like this.
your faction
Either fund it yourself or join one that already exists. Name, ranks, allies and enemies: from then on you don't play alone anymore.
Power
It grows as you play and drops every time one of your own dies. It's up to you to decide how much territory you can hold.
Territories
They claim one piece at a time. Within your borders no one builds, breaks or steals anything.
The conquest
If the Power falls below what you have occupied, your territories become conquerable. And the others see it.
And those who do not want to fight build, trade and remain neutral: you can also play like this. You will find everything explained command by command in the Server Help.
The meeting place
The spawn
The first thing you see, as soon as you walk in, is this. Not a stone platform thrown there to make you choose where to go: a Borgo, hand-built block by block — walls, towers, lighted lanterns, banners with our colours and a path that takes you inside.
It is the point where you return every time you start again, the square where you meet before leaving for your own territory. It's worth stopping for a second to look at it, the first time.
A world that flows with our
On Magic Adventure, time is not fake. The sun rises when it really rises and drops when it drops out of your window: if you play in the evening, it's evening here too; if you connect at dawn, the sky is that of dawn.
And the seasons follow ours. It is summer when it is summer, and when winter comes the cold is seen: snow falls in the right months, not by chance. The world breathes with its inhabitants — and the photo above, with its full moon, is exactly what anyone who entered at that moment would have seen.
One world, the same time for everyone. If it's night here, it's night for the entire server.
The map, always with you
The territory is not read by heart. With /f map open the boundary map whenever you want — who is an ally, who is an enemy, where yours ends and others begin — and also hold it in your hand, as an object, as you walk.
Who supports the server with a grade VIP has in addition the Mini-Map: the same map, but fixed in a corner of the screen, which updates itself step by step. Turn it on and off with /f minimap, and in war it's worth double — you see enemy colors coming without taking your eyes off what you're doing. You find it among the advantages of Store.
The Classment
Qui i numeri contano, e sono sotto gli occhi di tutti. La Ranking of the site updates with what's going on and lines up the factions for walkscore: territories held, average wealth, longevity, Power, kills and accumulated value. At the top there are those who have built something that lasts, not those who have made more noise for one night.
And there is also the ranking of singles: Time Played, average wealth and kills with the win-fall ratio. Kills are only valid if they are real: the server discards fakes between friends, duplicates at the same address, and victims killed too quickly. No shortcuts.
You can enter today and be on the front page in a month. It's up to you.
Factions are the first mode. Not the only one.
More are coming, different from each other, and who is there from the beginning will find them in front of them first. Let's not say anything else.
I'll just see you in there.
