Ranks description:Ranks are groups you have been added to. Joining them is as simple as having the rank points, and asking to join one. (you buy a rank with your rank points. Read more on rank points below)
Each rank and subrank has it's own privilages based on skills and knowledge. so a basic human can mine and do basic building and crafting, but will not be able to make computers or work with most eu technology. To be able to do those things they would need to add the corrasponding rank to their list of groups they belong to. Also some ranks can not be bought as a human *EE tech* but not being able to build or craft items does not stop you from using them should you find them. So finding say a condenser or energy collector (or array of the two) you can claim the land they are on if not already claimed and then use them as you see fit in the game. *or sell them to the highest bidder :)
Ranks points:rank points come to you in many ways, maintaining or spreading trees on a world that has no trees would get you eco user rank points, just point out your groves you have set up.
installing mods to allow you to gain access to experienced servers gets you expert user points too, *see the help page here*.
Spending time playing on the site will get you player user rank points. (this is culmitive so all the time you spend on our network playing no matter what server, counts toward your total player time).
Special rank points will be awarded based on the decisions of the admins for the servers you are on. Such as being helpful and helping out new players with knowledge or if they are lost helping them find their way home, escorting them to safety and bringing food to them, are all good ways to get points awarded.
Ranks:
Human ENTRY LEVEL: This is the first level you enter in. everyone has to start as a human, later you can use rank points to buy a character class upgrade (see rank points to see specifics on how to gain points.)
as a human on level one, you can break any natural block, and use NEARLY all of the tools and crafting recipies in vanilla minecraft.
One main drawback of this level is the lack of being able to pick up gems. so DON'T break that diamond ore, or you will loose it. Best to leave blocks of gem ore until you have gained at least one level worth of points and moved up a level either to fighter or miner (later you can buy the other ran and become a double class character)
Also any player can use something they found that has not been claimed, already. so EE is not out of the realm of use, but making it yourself or moving say a condenser is not an option. Those things come later
COST: free and is default for joining your first time :)
