The best chess handshake of all time

Outsider is the default rank on Aethyria, and the first rank on the “player” track. At this rank, players have access to the most basic commands, with restrictions in place to prevent griefers and trolls. The next rank on the track is Commoner.

Aethyria allows the use of alternate accounts (“alts”) to assist with AFK-farming, but all alts must be disclosed to the staff team. Alts are given the same permissions as Outsiders, minus the home-related commands and the ability to interact with the economy.

Commoner is the first rank that players will be promoted to. Commoners are players who are not brand new, but have not been around for a long time. They can list warps, send mail to players and place restricted blocks. The next rank on the track is Cohort.

Cohort is the rank given to frequent players who are active and well-known in the server. They provide a good example to other players and have been noticed by the staff team as a result.

Exarch is the highest rank on the player track and is a bridging rank between players and the staff team. Exarchs therefore have limited powers to help assist staff in chat moderation.
