The year is 2277, and the situation is dire. You have spent your whole life in vault 123, THE master vault. No, not the secret vault, which housed the Vault-Tec engineers and Enclave officials, or one of the nameless government-only vaults, but the one vault over them all. This was the ultimate social experiment, with the lab rats fully aware of what was going on, yet powerless to stop it. In the room, simply known as Room 101, you, along with the rest of the vault’s inhabitants, were forced to watch live video feeds from EVERY other vault by the enigmatic man only known as the overseer.
The original inhabitants of vault 123 were the world’s worst, most hardened criminals, shipped to the US (for a hefty fee) to be “disposed” of. Instead of paying for a box of bullets, the shadow government (which was to form into the Enclave) paid the Vault-Tec company billions to build one vault, one secret vault, with which to hold the scum of the earth. Serial murderers, rapists, arsonists, and people from every shady walk of life were dumped into this vault. These weren’t your average criminals, however. None of them deserved this horrific punishment, yet they were people the various powers wanted gone. Forever. They were framed by the government to protect high-ranking officials, political prisoners on trumped up charges, and others who just happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time. The men and women of vault 123 were often among the brightest and bravest of their countries, persecuted for speaking or acting out against their governments. They were forced to have offspring in a regulated manner, and these eventually became you, the denizens of the vault, 2267.
One day, your bonds suddenly release, dropping the weak, near-insane dwellers to their knees. A booming voice says over the intercom, “Hello, children of the underground, I am the overseer. You have ten years.” The intercom suddenly snaps off, leaving everybody in fear and confusion. The voice transforms the minds of the inhabitants, revitalizing them and giving them the strength they need to survive. Over the next 10 years, the fractured society you form progresses rapidly in science, reverse-engineering many of the machines around the vault.
But, as always happens, disagreements started; causing the community you worked so hard to build shatter in days. Various small groups formed, and life support systems began to fail. The water chip was the first to go, causing outbreaks of cholera due to fecal matter contaminating water supplies. Then came food, and soon the power was cut to outlets. The last cracked lights began to fade as you heard through intercoms that appeared broken long, long ago, “My, my, children, you surely have grown into savages. Ah well, I was hoping for better. It is time for you to return to the world from whence you came, never to return here again.” A great creaking sound was heard as the vault door, covered in rust, slowly rolled away.
The closest came out immediately, yet those in the depths came month later, drawn by the call of a new life. You enter into a faded red Plexiglas building, with very faded signs bearing the name “Tits.” You are in the ruins of Times Square, once the pinnacle of American culture, now little more than ruins. You were New York’s last, great secret, the Master Vault, Vault 123. Afore you, a strange portal gleams; the curious stay and explore the city for hidden treasures, the foolhardy charging headlong in. What will you do? Rise to the top, and have slaves cowering at your feet, while shouting “Vae victis!”, or will you perish, like many before you, in the wastes of this old world? Or will you enter the portal, hoping for a new, better existence, forging this virgin world to your will? Or maybe stay in the old world, searching for remnants of lost society? No matter what you do, there will be fighting, murder, and pillaging. That is yours to decide, here, in the massive world of FORGOTTEN VAULT! And remember: war, war never changes.
Due to the sheer quantity of the nukes that were detonated in the war, the environment has deteriorated, look out for radioactive craters and acid rain.
“Supply Drops” are randomly spawned in the Wastes, these contain very valuable items, you can locate them with your compass.
To return to New York (the spawn) you can build a nether portal, you can’t just teleport around here.
The best way to make money is to kill monsters or each other, you can get up to twelve percent of your opponents total money when you kill them.
Enchanted diamond chest plates are your best friend, they can be the strongest armor in the game (stronger than even nano armor).

*READ* How to build a portal to get back to the spawn!
Step 1. Make a portal
Step 2. Place a sign that looks like this on the left middle side of the portal
Replace "name" with any desired portal name (this doesnt matter at all) *Note* MAKE SURE that you remember to put the "H" at the bottom of the sign, otherwise people will be able to make portals your portal!!
Step 3. Press the button on the right side of the portal to activate it and get back to the spawn!
Warning: Do not bring rings/lenses/catalysts to the spawn world, they will be deleted from your inventory if you attempt to hold them. Sadly that is the only way for us to not ban the items that make tekkit amazing, but still have a great spawn.
The story and spawn are all still a work in progress, as we are trying to improve everything to make the server more fun. The plugins are highly customized and configured by experts, so if there are any problems, please let us know immediately.
All mods/ admins/ owners currently have experience prior to this server with their respective jobs along with Tekkit experience, so we know all of the cheats/glitches/exploits and how to fix them.
Join us on our IRC at Link Removed if you need help, or just wanna talk to the admins (#forgottenvault on espernet)
