The Ashbourne Project

🏰 About The Ashbourne Project

The Ashbourne Project is a steampunk-flavoured survival server set on a frontier-style world where player towns, trade and reputation shape the map. The server emphasizes player-driven towns and economies: settlers claim land, build towns, trade at markets and rise through a clear rank progression.

🎮 Gameplay

Gameplay focuses on community building, economy and optional conflict. Players can found and grow towns, work jobs to earn currency, trade with others, and participate in structured, consensual town wars or bounty hunting. The world and spawn are themed with custom NPCs and atmosphere to support immersion.

⚔️ Game Modes

🪓 Towny

Towny is the core system for land protection and community: claim land, create towns and form larger alliances. Town governance and town-versus-town conflict are part of the experience, with mechanics for consensual wars.

✨ Features

• Land-claiming and town systems (Towny).
• Dual-currency player economy (named Credits and Cogs), with player-run shops and auctions.
• Jobs system for earning currency.
• Rank progression (examples: Drifter → Guildmaster) tied to playtime, jobs and economy activity.
• Vote/crate system (Common → Mythic, spawners), including purchasable and vote-earned keys.
• Bounty system for placing and hunting bounties on players.
• Custom themed spawn with NPCs and holograms to set the steampunk frontier atmosphere.
• Official community Discord and a donation/store for supporter perks.

💰 Economy and Progression

The server uses a dual-currency setup (Credits and Cogs) to power shops, auctions and rewards. Jobs provide a steady income source, while crates and vote rewards offer additional progression items. Ranks are earned through a mix of playtime, economic activity and jobs, giving players a clear path from newcomer to established leader.

🛡️ Community and Rules

The project maintains published rules and community guidelines and operates an official Discord for support, applications and announcements. Staff and moderation are part of the public community structure (details are available through the server's official pages).

🧭 Who Should Play Here

• Players who enjoy town-building and collaborative town management.
• Economy-focused players who like shops, auctions and jobs.
• Builders and role-driven players attracted to a steampunk frontier theme.
• PvP players who prefer structured, consensual conflict (town wars, bounties) rather than random griefing.
