Age Problems

[Mation32]

Hi There, My name is Matt and I recently stumbled upon this interesting server and I've read a lot on the Wiki, voted on all the sites and finally made an account so I could attempt to get into the server. Here's the problem. I'm 12. Yes, you may think "Oh he's twelve, let's not let him on the server because he is immature". I understand why you feel that way, a lot of people at the age of twelve are immature and a nuisance. So obviously if you checked my profile my birthday is 1995. Everything about my birthday is correct except the year is 2011 (Yes, I'm actually 11, nearly 12). Now I could go to the application forums now and easily lie, but I would rather just tell the truth. If I apply, will I get automatically denied because of my age? Thank you for reading. Best Regards -Matt

So you posted to be honest about you're age and then you reveal you lied and you're really 11?
And yes you will be denied.

I'll be 12 in a very short time, thanks for clarifying.
All the best

It is not necessarily about maturity - the age requirement is to follow the US law, COPPA. So, yes. You will be denied because of age. However, you can still play as a greylisted User, and also reapply when you are 13 years of age.

Thank you for your interest in Herocraft,

Thank you TheMormon, how would I play as a greylisted user might I ask?

Just connect to the IP mc.hc.to or, if you're in Europe, use Eu.hc.to

Simply connect, and play. You won't have full permissions, but in Warshard and Forgelight, you'll be able to build and mine normally.

Saving this =)

You can log in via the greylist. Like it was stated the law COPPA is what keeps you from being whitelisted. Per that law we are not allowed to ask you certain questions that are located on the whitelist application. Since the greylist does not require an application you can be any age and be able to play.

So I can just login to the server on a greylist?

Should the map survive long enough (looking good on that end) and we do not experience a map wipe before you turn 13. You could apply then, and all your exp will carry over. All that will really change is you gain access to the primary map, where all the towns are. You still get all the fun rpg bits out of greylist mode, however you need to be careful about losing your items and keeping them safe without protection plugins the whitelisted players get (like LWCs).

If you see someone with a red creeper skin or a tree skin, make sure to run. High levels are looking for easy kills.
