The Ruins

The Ruins is an outside area that can be visited on the Emerald Isle Server.

Location
The Ruins can be seen from main spawn, and can be got to by following a direct cobblestone path, passing the Boss Survival board. It covers a very large area of field.

Inside
The Ruins is for decoration (and for some fun to) and doesn't have any 'inside areas'. It does, however, have many covered and secret areas, which can be useful.

The Ruins resembles a fallen cobblestone castle, or some other medieval building. Scattered blocks and some small areas that seem to remain make it look like some kind of Knight's Castle from the past.

The Ruins now houses Creative, where you enter through a hole in the ground.

Game/Ride
Apart from being decorative, The Ruins is also designed to be a hide and seek zone! When you reach The Ruins, a sign outside says Play hide and seek in the Ruins!

The Ruins  is a very good place for hide and seek, as you will find if you ever play it with a few friends. As The Ruins looks like a crumbled cobblestone castle which covers a lot of land, there are many hidden areas, sheltered areas and covered areas.

If you are the HIDER you can look for a good hiding spot whilst the seeker is looking away and counting. The Ruins is built so that no spot is completed concealed: some careful moving about and crouching is required to win!

If you are the SEEKER you can look away and count to a certain number, before announcing you are looking for the hiders. Whoever you find last (or can't find at all) is the winner!
