SOVEREIGNREALMSAlpha

Hosted servers

Preorder a server with the premade world for you and your friends. Pay once now for your first month or year; that service period begins when your server is available.

Sovereign Realms is in alpha (early access). Expect bugs, unfinished systems and balance changes from week to week. Most updates keep your world. A few large ones may need a new world; hosted servers keep backups of every world either way.

Preorders are open

Hosting is not available yet and no launch date is promised. Your preorder prepays the first service period. We will email you when your server is ready; there are no recurring charges before activation. You can request a refund before activation.

Questions

What does my preorder pay for?+

You pay once now for the selected first month or year. Hosting is not available yet and no launch date is promised. Your prepaid period starts when your server is ready and will be credited before any recurring renewal charge. No subscription or recurring charge starts now.

Can I get a refund before hosting opens?+

Yes. Request a full refund before activation by emailing support@sovereignrealmsmod.com with your order number. We will refund the original payment method through Stripe.

Is the game finished?+

No. Sovereign Realms is in alpha, sold as early access. Its systems are playable and tested in weekly multiplayer playtests, but you will meet bugs, rough edges and balance changes. Updates arrive often and are applied to hosted servers automatically. Prices are early-access prices.

Monthly or yearly?+

Choose one first month or one first year at checkout and pay that full amount once now, plus any tax shown by Stripe. The hours and model credits will renew monthly during your prepaid service period. Recurring renewals will begin only after activation and your prepaid period.

What happens when nobody is online?+

The server saves and goes to sleep after 15 minutes with nobody on (you can change this). The world also pauses, the same way the mod pauses a server with no players. When someone joins, they see a short message while the server wakes, which takes about a minute, and then they can connect.

What counts towards my hours?+

Only time the server is awake. On Hamlet and Town plans, when the month's hours are used up the server sleeps until the next month, unless you turn on extra hours, which are billed per hour (on monthly billing). Kingdom servers include enough hours for a server that is up most evenings and weekends, and stay awake for six hours after the last player leaves.

What are the language models used for?+

The mod can use language models so your steward can carry out requests in plain language, townspeople can answer in their own words, and foreign rulers can weigh proposals and write letters. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of credits for them. When they run out, everything keeps working with the mod's own rules until the next month.

Which world do I get?+

The premade Known World: 196 towns, 16 realms and about 6,000 people, already generated so nobody waits on it. You start in the English-speaking Heartland.

How do my friends join?+

They install the mod with the launcher profile from the download page, then add your server's address. If the whitelist is on (the default), add their Minecraft names on your server page first.

Do I get updates?+

Yes. When a new release is published and tested, your server updates the next time it starts while nobody is online. If a release needs a new client, the download page has it and the server tells players which version to install.

Are my worlds backed up?+

Yes, on the schedule for your plan, plus a backup before every update. You can take a backup any time and restore one from your server page. If you cancel, your world is kept for 30 days.

Can I run my own server instead?+

Yes. The mod is free. You can run your own server with your own model credentials. Our paid counsel subscriptions will open with hosting.
