| What is a business? |
A business is a registered service offered by a player on the server that aims to provide the community with something (eg. a store for valuable goods, digital art, etc). Businesses should not fall into a facility category. |
| How do I apply for a business? |
You'll ideally want to run through your ideas with staff prior to applying or building, just to be sure. We use a Discord based form system under our “Economy” Discord category - please open a form in “Forms”. Brand forms are checked approximately once a week when the assigned member of staff is available.. Ensure you pick up your certified business paper from /server iron-hoof-isles, it will be located in one of the small stores by the bridge near where you spawn in next to the dirt arena. |
| Can I sell animals under a business? |
Please ask staff before making plans to sell animals, ensure the animals you wish to sell are not already included in a facility type (eg. Pet Ranch). Generally, a small selection of small animals will likely be permitted if welfare requirements are followed. These animals count towards your total animal cap. You may apply for a brand if animals are being sold. |
| Can I have multiple businesses? |
Yes, you can have multiple businesses, each as its own individual structure or clearly divided. |
| If I'm planning on doing something that falls under a business, do I need to register it? |
Yes, if you are actively advertising a service it should be registered. There is no cost for registering a business. Applying allows a public warp and a brand if animals are being sold. |
| What are player stores? |
Player stores were previously available on /server Bluewater-Bay prior to the proxy server updates. Due to this, we are not longer offering premade stores at this time as we are transitioning to a general server store area. Stores are still available to purchase from in this area, current stores are grandfathered in and do not need to be moved. You may make your own store and have a warp set to it - if you are advertising, please specify what server your warp is on. |
| Player store location |
Businesses outside of our warp should not be within 12 chunks of any other properties. They may be present on a facility if related to it. If no animals/entities are present in the business, you may have multiple in the same area to prevent entity rendering issues and theft. Players are not required to have a physical location for their business if they are offering something digital (eg. Discord server making, digital art, etc) |
