We will not be accepting anymore new people until December 1, 2012 when we reopen. We are going to spend the next week working on the server and setting some things up.
Unfortunately, due to several problems stemming from irresponsible, immature minecrafters we are forced to use LogBlock as well as some other anti-grief plugin measurements. It's a disappointment, but thanks to the actions of idiots who don't seem to care about how their actions have effects on other people besides themselves, we can't be a 100% pure vanilla server... in fact i doubt any server can really survive that way anymore unless you only play with people you know from real life.
People who were/are white-listed can still play and help the server's "construction process". Giving ideas and suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Anyways, check back in December for a reborn ZeroCraft. One that hopefully is much better than this one. =)

How long have you been playing Minecraft? Since a month after it was originally released to the public as an alpha.
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft? Exploration and helping people.
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you? I am a father of 3 kids, i tend to have a very perverted sense of humor but am easy to get along with and i do not act out needlessly.
Why does this server interest you? I am looking for a new permanent home since my old server shut down due to issues with the owner lacking funding from donations. (which i supported a fair bit)
What languages do you speak? english and bad english
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built? Hard to say as i have dabbled in a large many things, pagoda's to pyramids, skyscrapers to entire villages in different biomes. Everything i build has a small place in my heart.
What do you want in a server? Quiet respectful enviroment with a decent structure of rules and admins who do not act like a bunch of idiots.
And lastly, have you ever been banned before? Once, i had just entered a new server i found on a forum and said *hello all* and was immediately banned by a childish admin on a power trip. Still to this day i do not understand why the world has to be so demented and lacks so much intelligence or respect.
Anyway thats my application and i thank you for reviewing it hope to see you online soon, and if not thanks anyway.
IGN: Matterbound Name: Mike Age: 16 Gender: I'm a male diamond! Location: Ohio, USA
How long have you been playing Minecraft?
I've been playing Minecraft since In-Dev, so nearly 3 years now! I know pretty much everything there is to know about the game, as I've "been around the block" a few times. In the past, I've run servers of my own, though the whole management thing gets a tad overwhelming at times. Now I just want to relax and play some Minecraft.
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft?
My playstyle is quite casual, and about as far from "hardcore" as you can get. I do get a bit OCD about my architecture, but other than that, I'm pretty calm and fun to be around. I quite enjoy building, but only after I've got myself geared up with diamond armor and tools. After that, I'll usually start building bigger projects, towns, houses, farms, etc.
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you?
Maturity is knowing when to draw the line. How far to take a joke. Your maturity is easily read by most other mature people, whether it be online, or in real life. As cliche as it sounds, treat other people the way you wish to be treated. If you wish to be treated poorly, then there are places you can pay women to make that happen, although Minecraft is not one of those places.
Why does this server interest you?
This server interests me because it seems friendly. I tend to treat Minecraft as a place to make friends while playing a game. Sort of like playing in the sandbox as a child. You would go there to not only build things out of sand, but to talk to the other children and have fun.
What languages do you speak?
I speak mainly English, though I have taken Spanish courses in the past and can decipher sentences if I need to.
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built?
Unfortunately I cannot provide a screenshot of any of my builds, as I'm not one to save any. I tend to build farms, houses, and towns when starting on a new world/server, and then move onto bigger builds. Sometime during Minecraft Alpha, my friend and I built a 3:1 (Yes, 3:1, not 1:3) scale model of The Pantheon which was quite impressive. I of course took screenshots of it, but over the years I have lost them.
What do you want in a server?
Besides the obvious things such as "no griefers" and "little lag", I want a server that is friendly. As a server is a community over everything else, I feel that friendship is important among a server's members.
And lastly, have you ever been banned before?
It would be foolish to think that at some time during my 3 year Minecraft career I haven't been banned. I'm sure that at some point I made an immature server owner angry, or something of the like, but I have never griefed a server, or intentionally misbehaved in any way to get myself banned.
IGN: noxes42 Age: 18 Gender: Male. Diamond~ (I missed that for a second) Location: Newfoundland, Canada.
How long have you been playing Minecraft?
I've been playing since 2010. I played a bit during in-dev on my friend's account, but I never officially started playing until 2010.
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft?
My favorite thing would probably be caving/adventuring, especially if I have friends/other players on the server with me. I also enjoy building large underground bases, if I have time.
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you?
I would describe maturity as someone's ability to hold a conversation without aggrevating/annoying anyone else they're conversing with. By my definition, I'm probably mildly "mature", however I may irritate people sometimes due to ignorance.
Why does this server interest you?
I used to play on a number of different mature/friendly servers, but I lost interest in MC around the time I was getting ready for University. Most servers I find now are PvP or full of annoying randoms that don't understand how to play properly. I hope, from playing on this server, to make a few friends and play some enjoyable relaxing Minecraft without being pestered by a large server of idiots or a non-vanilla environment.
What languages do you speak?
English. I'm Canadian, and I *should* know *some* French, but I don't.
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built?
I don't know. I think it may have been this monument thing I built in creative, or a large castle I built with a friend in survival. Sorry I don't have any pictures.
What do you want in a server?
I only seek a whitelisted server that's full of welcoming and mature people to play true vanilla Minecraft with.
And lastly, have you ever been banned before?
I think maybe once I was banned from a server that an old friend was running. As I remember it, the entire MOD base was made up of mature people, whereas all the actual players were like 12 year old CoD addicts. One of which was constantly trying to PvP with me and curse at me. I finally had enough and just set his place on fire. The mods didn't care(most of them laughed at it), but because the 12 year old was whining too much over it, and my friend knew I never really liked playing on that server anyways, he un-whitelisted me.
IGN: wolflover79 Age: 13 Gender: male Location: New zealand
How long have you been playing Minecraft? 2-3 years
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft? just have fun and abay every rule
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you? i am very mature and hopefully you will agree
Why does this server interest you?
cause minecraft has just updated and this is like the only sever for 1.4.4 What languages do you speak? only english
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built? a life size model of a wolf(in mincraft)
What do you want in a server? just to have fun but do not like mean people that swear
And lastly, have you ever been banned before? no :[)
IGN: AuTuhmn. (Btw, I have SKYPE; so if you want to add me on there for anything, you can find it on my forums profile.) Name: Christian. Age: I am currently Seventeen years old. Gender: I am Male. Location: I live in Oregon, USA.
How long have you been playing Minecraft? To be honest, I have been playing since about February of I think 2011. But, I have been watching multiple "Let's Play" series since early 2010. I was fascinated in the exploration, survival, and multiplayer aspects of the game.
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft? My favorite thing to to in Minecraft? That's a tough one, let's see.. It would have to be starting a project that I know will take ages, but attempting to finish it no matter what the expectations require. Small huts don't do for me, I tend to strive for massive structures with unique and appealing architectural looks; something that people will definitely see and wonder who build that. Also a place where many people can stay and hang out.
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you? I personally think maturity doesn't have it's own definition; therefor I don't think it should even be a word. A person should act if not their age, or an age that suits everyone else. Children should be allowed to act as children, but still understand that if they're playing with adults; they need to act as adults. Same with adults, I see people older than me (rarely) that act like children, which kind of annoys me in many ways. But people need joking, playfulness and still have comfort in knowing that seriousness remains. Yeah, I feel like I just blah'd all that out, but you asked what I thought. (: Lastly on this topic, not trying to boast or anything but; I play on XboxLive, and 90% of the people I play with are over 20 years of age. They treat me like an adult, even though I much younger than them.
Why does this server interest you? This server interests me because it's one of few '1.4.4' servers available that are vanilla. I'm not a big fan of large, explosive plug-ins that alter how I play Minecraft. I don't mind little ones like the 'TimberMod' that simply makes gathering wood simpler. I looks and already feels like a good server, I don't think I have ever written so much in one application before; so props on that one.
What languages do you speak? I speak fluent American English, as you may have noticed. Along with ein bisschen Deutsch. (a little bit of German). I know the German alphabet, can count to whatever, and know a few phrases and words. (only a year of German at school).
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built? The most favorite build I ever did wasn't my best build, or the most exotic or architecturally appealing. It was a simple "hobbit hole" me and my friend made. We just finished a massive castle that took about 2 weeks with 4 of us. Me and one of those friends wanted to start fresh, so we each grabbed a stack of coal, food, wood, some tools and set out into the blue. We found a little pond with dirt hill surrounding it and sheep flourishing. It was dark, and creepers were everywhere, so we dug into one of the dirt hills, and began this small home. It later had wooden walls, 2 bedroom, I had a walk-in closet, a toilet, fireplace, skylight, carpet, escape tunnel, and a pet sheep named Jim. Sounds lame, but I had the time of my life working on it.
What do you want in a server? I could make you a list of a thousand things I want in a server, but I doubt you have all of them and I don't expect you to have a third of them. I simply want a server that is fairly new, simply vanilla, calm, 'mature' by definition, comfortable, relaxing, peaceful, warm-welcoming. A server where I can play on whenever I feel the need to Minecraft until my heart is content. I doubt I will ever be gone for more than 7 days, Black Ops 2 did just come out and I have friends that expect me on XboxLive from time to time. I will probably play half and half, more of this since I stink at BlOPs2. :b
And lastly, have you ever been banned before? No. I don't know if you know about it, but there is a website linked with Minecraft that you can look up others to see if they are banned. I can't remember what it is, but I used it for a server I administered before. (If I happen to have a ban, let me know; I am unaware if so.) Thanks.

IGN: purplecat13 Age: 20 Gender: female, Diamonds Location: USA
How long have you been playing Minecraft?
A little over a year
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft?
Find a good place to set up shop and think of a great build, mine for matierials, and build, and collect everything I can.
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you?
I think maturity is being responsible, and respectful to others. Knowing when to ask for help, and not whining when things dont go your way. And beign your own person.
Why does this server interest you?
it said mature and friendly in the title, and I've never joined a server before, and thought a mature one would be a good start.
What languages do you speak?
English.
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built?
A tardis in my single player world. because I actually built it, unlike the golden pyrimid I've been planning since jungles were added
What do you want in a server?
A place to play minecraft with other people when my boyfriend's computer is offline. He has his own server, but he's either with me, playing D&D, or at work.
IGN: SaintForge Age: 35 years old Gender: I'm Male and also Diamond Location: I live in the United States of America,in the state of New Hampshire
How long have you been playing Minecraft? I have been playing Mincecraft I believe for 2 years now.
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft? I often play a gathering role, on servers with economies that leads me to building up stockpiles to sell off or I work with others to supply their projects
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you? Generaly I feel maturity is the ability to keep your head when dealing with difficult situations, that included not attacking people simply to entertain ones ego. I fear I often fail the first half of my own definition, but I do much better at not failing the second half.
Why does this server interest you? I'm looking for a server that I can help out in, where I can explore and develop with out too much fear of random violence from sources other then mobs. I've grown tired of immature players who spend thier entire gaming experience trying to destroy the fun others find in this game.
What languages do you speak? I only can speak english.
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built? I'm afraid I do not have pictures of it but I had a home I built with a cousin on our own server. Together we carved out a large underground farming system for trees and food so that we could work on mining without a need to come to the surface. With those supplies we built a large log cabin A-frame on the surface and decorated it. I truely enjoyed providing the resources and design opinions on our joit project.
What do you want in a server? The server is less important to me then the people, good people are what I am looking for. People I can work with to help them and myself build an interesting world together.
And lastly, have you ever been banned before? Actualy just got a temp ban today for trying to open a furnace. The house I had found had no walls but the worktable and furnace where there, the workbench worked fine so I thought I'ld cook some food as well. The server banned me for a day for stealing.

What's your most favorite thing you've ever built? I can't supply a picture, but a 4 story medieval house.

What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft?
My favorite thing would be basically play with friends, like some i know very well, it just fills me with happiness
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you?
Basically someone who doesn't do stupid stuff and rage kill, and shout at everyone and stuff,
I'm quite a mature person, i build, mine, and chat with friends, I don't rage at someone, because they are simply immature
Why does this server interest you?
Pure vanilla is the servers that i love now, i gotten over bukkit and commands and stuff, i want the full minecraft experience
What languages do you speak?
English
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built?
Skydomes, i had a picture but i dont know where it went :/

What do you want in a server?
The survival experience
And lastly, have you ever been banned before?
Yes, I have, this one server, I was banned because the admins were over powered and they completely destroyed my base and i talked to them, causing my ban, i was unbanned later on, but one day, i logged on, i was instantly banned, i never even tried to get myself unbanned anymore, i went on to enjoy other servers
IGN: davidmilum12 Age: 16 Gender: Male Location: USA
How long have you been playing Minecraft? Since late alpha, been playing religiously ever since.
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft? To join Survival servers and interact in friendly ways with other player, along with mining and building.

Why does this server interest you?: Because It seems very well put together and very friendly.
What languages do you speak? English

IGN: snipeaman Age: 19 Gender: Male Diamond Location: Tx, USA
How long have you been playing Minecraft?
I have played ever since 1.0
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft?
I like to build a lot.
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you?
Maturity is in the eyes of the beholder. I consider someone who is willing to do something and not cry if someone returns it. For example, I take your stuff, but when you take mine I can't complain. I am mature in my standers.
Why does this server interest you?
The large biomes, your rules, and your whitelisting method
What languages do you speak?
English
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built?
My house that I always build. I get a lot of compliments on it.
What do you want in a server?
Good community, which is hard to find in minecraft. Fun staff. Randomness, meaning it's not always the same.
And lastly, have you ever been banned before?
I have, but it was a misunderstanding. On this server we were in adventure mode, but the server was updating so we were alowed to build before they reset. I was out gating wood when I saw one of the main buildings on fire. I quickly told the OPs that a building was on fire and I ran over there and started to put it out. They blamed me for some resin and I was banned It took them a day or two to realize I didn't do it. So at the moment I have no bans
IGN: Pokemon_Lover Age: 14 Gender: Female Location: USA.
How long have you been playing Minecraft? Since Beta 1.7.3
What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft? Probably just hang out with friends and build
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you? I describe maturity not as a number, more of a mindset. If you are the kind of person who handles situations calmly, and don't drop the F-Bomb every 5 seconds with LOLOLOL after it, then you are mature. If you are just a jerk, and don't take anything seriously, then you are immature, in my eyes. I would describe myself as kinda a fun mature. I like to make jokes, but I don't act like I'm 6.
Why does this server interest you? Mostly the mature community. It's extremely hard to find good, mature players who aren't acting like idiots.
What languages do you speak? English
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built?
What do you want in a server? Just mature staff and players, with a cool community
And lastly, have you ever been banned before? Yes. Once for saying it was unfair I was demoted from moderator because they had too many, and then they accepted another one. Another time was when an entire server was griefed, and they just banned everyone for griefing and tried to start over, but couldn't get the funds. Those are the only two times I can really think of when I was banned.
Unfortunately, due to several problems stemming from irresponsible, immature minecrafters we are forced to use LogBlock as well as some other anti-grief plugin measurements. It's a disappointment, but thanks to the actions of idiots who don't seem to care about how their actions have effects on other people besides themselves, we can't be a 100% pure vanilla server... in fact i doubt any server can really survive that way anymore unless you only play with people you know from real life.
People who were/are white-listed can still play and help the server's "construction process". Giving ideas and suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I'm not a big fan of large, explosive plug-ins that alter how I play Minecraft. I don't mind little ones like the 'TimberMod' that simply makes gathering wood simpler. I looks and already feels like a good server, I don't think I have ever written so much in one application before; so props on that one.
What languages do you speak? I speak fluent American English, as you may have noticed. Along with ein bisschen Deutsch. (a little bit of German). I know the German alphabet, can count to whatever, and know a few phrases and words. (only a year of German at school).
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built? The most favorite build I ever did wasn't my best build, or the most exotic or architecturally appealing. It was a simple "hobbit hole" me and my friend made. We just finished a massive castle that took about 2 weeks with 4 of us. Me and one of those friends wanted to start fresh, so we each grabbed a stack of coal, food, wood, some tools and set out into the blue. We found a little pond with dirt hill surrounding it and sheep flourishing. It was dark, and creepers were everywhere, so we dug into one of the dirt hills, and began this small home. It later had wooden walls, 2 bedroom, I had a walk-in closet, a toilet, fireplace, skylight, carpet, escape tunnel, and a pet sheep named Jim. Sounds lame, but I had the time of my life working on it.
What do you want in a server? I could make you a list of a thousand things I want in a server, but I doubt you have all of them and I don't expect you to have a third of them. I simply want a server that is fairly new, simply vanilla, calm, 'mature' by definition, comfortable, relaxing, peaceful, warm-welcoming. A server where I can play on whenever I feel the need to Minecraft until my heart is content. I doubt I will ever be gone for more than 7 days, Black Ops 2 did just come out and I have friends that expect me on XboxLive from time to time. I will probably play half and half, more of this since I stink at BlOPs2. :b
And lastly, have you ever been banned before? No. I don't know if you know about it, but there is a website linked with Minecraft that you can look up others to see if they are banned. I can't remember what it is, but I used it for a server I administered before. (If I happen to have a ban, let me know; I am unaware if so.) Thanks.

How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you? Generaly I feel maturity is the ability to keep your head when dealing with difficult situations, that included not attacking people simply to entertain ones ego. I fear I often fail the first half of my own definition, but I do much better at not failing the second half.
Why does this server interest you? I'm looking for a server that I can help out in, where I can explore and develop with out too much fear of random violence from sources other then mobs. I've grown tired of immature players who spend thier entire gaming experience trying to destroy the fun others find in this game.
What languages do you speak? I only can speak english.
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built? I'm afraid I do not have pictures of it but I had a home I built with a cousin on our own server. Together we carved out a large underground farming system for trees and food so that we could work on mining without a need to come to the surface. With those supplies we built a large log cabin A-frame on the surface and decorated it. I truely enjoyed providing the resources and design opinions on our joit project.
What do you want in a server? The server is less important to me then the people, good people are what I am looking for. People I can work with to help them and myself build an interesting world together.
And lastly, have you ever been banned before? Actualy just got a temp ban today for trying to open a furnace. The house I had found had no walls but the worktable and furnace where there, the workbench worked fine so I thought I'ld cook some food as well. The server banned me for a day for stealing.

I have played ever since 1.0

I like to build a lot.
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you?
Maturity is in the eyes of the beholder. I consider someone who is willing to do something and not cry if someone returns it. For example, I take your stuff, but when you take mine I can't complain. I am mature in my standers.

The large biomes, your rules, and your whitelisting method

My house that I always build. I get a lot of compliments on it.
What do you want in a server?
Good community, which is hard to find in minecraft. Fun staff. Randomness, meaning it's not always the same.
And lastly, have you ever been banned before?
I have, but it was a misunderstanding. On this server we were in adventure mode, but the server was updating so we were alowed to build before they reset. I was out gating wood when I saw one of the main buildings on fire. I quickly told the OPs that a building was on fire and I ran over there and started to put it out. They blamed me for some resin and I was banned It took them a day or two to realize I didn't do it. So at the moment I have no bans

What would you say is your favorite thing to do in Minecraft?
Probably just hang out with friends and build
How do you describe maturity? And by that definition, how mature are you?
I describe maturity not as a number, more of a mindset. If you are the kind of person who handles situations calmly, and don't drop the F-Bomb every 5 seconds with LOLOLOL after it, then you are mature. If you are just a jerk, and don't take anything seriously, then you are immature, in my eyes. I would describe myself as kinda a fun mature. I like to make jokes, but I don't act like I'm 6.
Why does this server interest you?
Mostly the mature community. It's extremely hard to find good, mature players who aren't acting like idiots.
What languages do you speak?
English
What's your most favorite thing you've ever built?
What do you want in a server?
Just mature staff and players, with a cool community
And lastly, have you ever been banned before?
Yes. Once for saying it was unfair I was demoted from moderator because they had too many, and then they accepted another one. Another time was when an entire server was griefed, and they just banned everyone for griefing and tried to start over, but couldn't get the funds. Those are the only two times I can really think of when I was banned.
