VIP on **STYGION MC: AERONAUTICS** is comfort, never power. More land to claim, a seat that is kept for you when the server is full, a name in colour and, from the second rank, flying over your own claims. Nothing that decides a fight.

## Ranks and prices

|  | VIP | VIP+ | LEGEND |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | **€5** | **€8** | **€12** |
| Yearly (12 months for the price of 10) | €50 | €80 | €120 |
| Your name in game and chat | `[VIP]` aqua | `[VIP+]` gold | `[LEGEND]` red |
| Extra claims and force-loaded chunks | +25 / +1 | +50 / +2 | +100 / +3 |
| A seat on a full server | yes | yes | yes |
| `/fly` over your own claims | no | yes | yes |
| `/fly` elsewhere too | no | no | yes |
| The `#supporters` role and room on Discord | yes | yes | yes |

Prices are final; **we are not a VAT payer**. A year costs ten months. The shop at [stygion.eu/worlds/mc/store](https://stygion.eu/worlds/mc/store) always says the price; if this table ever differs from it, the shop is right.

- **Extra claims and force-loads** add to the base everybody has (25 claims and 2 force-loaded chunks) and to what playtime gives (below). `/fly` "elsewhere" means everywhere except a claim of another team and the nether roof (from height 128).
- **A seat on a full server:** the last few places on the server are kept for rank holders; an ordinary player is turned away on a full server before they would take one.
- **You can get `/fly` by playing too** (mods, rituals, elytra, jetpacks). A rank gives only the convenience of `/fly` over your own claims.

## What a rank never does

You cannot **buy** ranks earned by playing, crate keys or coins. The odds in the crates are **the same for everybody** (70 / 22 / 7 / 1 %) and a rank does not change them. No edge in a fight, or in a race for something the world has only one of.

## Claims for time played

Everybody gets the same base and time raises it. A rank counts the time you move (after five minutes without moving the clock stops; `/playtime` says how much is left).

| Rank | Played | Extra claims | Extra force-loads |
|---|---|---|---|
| wanderer | 5 h | +5 | 0 |
| builder | 24 h | +10 | 0 |
| engineer | 72 h | +20 | +1 |
| veteran | 168 h | +30 | +1 |
| artisan | 250 h | +40 | +2 |
| dryhten | 500 h | +60 | +2 |
| architect | 700 h | +80 | +3 |

The layers add up: time + VIP. A newcomer starts at 25 / 2, an architect without VIP has 105 / 5.

## Crates and coins

Everybody gets a **crate key for every day** on the server (at most 30 in stock), and a vote for the server pays another. A crate drops a **coin**: Obol, Ember Hex, Styx Seal and, rarest, Stygion Sovereign. Coins are for collecting, exchanging at the **banker** at spawn (or with `/bank`, 8 : 1 both ways, no fee) and trading between players. Nothing is bought with coins. The coins are drawn by a resource pack, which is required and contains only pictures.

## How to buy

1. At [stygion.eu/worlds/mc/store](https://stygion.eu/worlds/mc/store) sign in with a STYGION ID. A rank belongs to an account, not to the game.
2. Link your Minecraft name (the game gives you a code the first time you join; type it on Discord in `#mc-link`). Then you do not need to type the name.
3. Pick a rank and a length and pay through Stripe. The rank reaches your name within a minute of you being on the server, otherwise at your next join.

The subscription renews itself at the end of every period until you cancel it in your account at stygion.eu (the Minecraft part); what you paid for stays until the period ends. When it ends, the rank leaves your name. **You can withdraw from the contract within 14 days of the first payment**: we refund what you paid minus a proportional part for the days the rank ran. In detail in the [Terms of sale](https://stygion.eu/terms-of-sale).

## Gifts

A rank can be given. A **gift code** for 1, 3 or 12 months costs **€5 / €15 / €50** (VIP), **€8 / €24 / €80** (VIP+) and **€12 / €36 / €120** (LEGEND); twelve months cost ten. You pay once, the code (shaped `STYG-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX`) appears in your account under [Gifts](https://stygion.eu/account/gifts) and anybody with a STYGION ID redeems it at [stygion.eu/redeem](https://stygion.eu/redeem). A code is used once and is valid for 12 months from payment. You can also send a gift straight to a player by their Minecraft name. A rank cannot be redeemed while the recipient has another rank running; the code waits. A rank needs a Minecraft name linked to the account. Discount codes do not apply to gifts. An unused code is refunded within 14 days of payment.
