Sunshine Alley Wards are different from the Vanilla game. Wards are for Individual use to protect your bases and property. Territories are used for communal facilities. Expired wards continue to protect your Base from being claimed by someone else. Note: Unwarded Bases are not safe from being claimed by other players Wards give a protected area of 32 metres. It is a cylinder of infinite height. Note: upon building base should always check if structal integrity is in order, wards can keep structures standing without proper support. so make sure, by turning off removing ward and also holding the building hammer for prolonged time so there is no delay in structual integrity ! Mob spawn: Unlike Vanilla wards, these will prevent mob respawn in its full radius.

Read article ↗Boss Summoner Loot
Summoner is entitled to all boss loot. When the summoner's client handles a summoned boss's loot, Sunshine Alley tries to place the rewards directly into that player's inventory, respecting space and carrying capacity; leftovers appear beside them. Otherwise the loot drops into the world. Other players do not automatically pick up marked boss loot, but they can still pick it up manually. Trophies are distributed to every attending players.
Read article ↗Starred Boss Drops
Extra boss stars can mean more non-trophy rewards. For boss drops that do not already use the normal level multiplier, Sunshine Alley scales non-trophy quantities with the boss's star level. Eligible one-per-player rewards count nearby players, within roughly 100 metres, rather than everyone online. Trophy quantities do not receive this extra star multiplier, but are given 1 to each attending player.

Boss offerings work when your character is ready and that boss's era has arrived. A boss altar checks your character's required progression as well as the world's release schedule for that boss.

Read article ↗Portal Hub
The Portal Hub on all servers allows players to claim one portal to their main home base and personal portal network. Select a portal with no name on it. Label your Portal with your in game Name and link it to a portal at your base The portal at your base must allow for easy return to the portal hub. You may secure your base and other portals from visitors if you please. The making of traps or one way trips is not allowed with any of your portals. Because of this it is strongly recommended that the portal at your end is outside, and on solid dirt, or a floor immediately above dirt. Holes under the floor will become a trap if/when the floor resolves after the player arrives and an irritated Thane will demolish your building to release the player. If there are no available Portals you may approach a Thane to take over an abandoned player's portal. This is particularly important on the Main Server as some players go quiet in between releases but do return. Portals are taken on a "first come, first served" basis. If you desire a particular portal to be closer to a team mate then swaps/exchanges require agreement from both parties. The portal Hub on progression also has access to the Boss locations. This is a Sub-Portal Hub on Main And access to The Starter town, Haldor, Hildir and Community facilities that are not at the Starter town The Portal Hub on Main has access to several sub-hubs for specific activities - See .......

Read article ↗Territories
Territories are the way we protect the Towns and other public places on the Server. They show up on the Map ad coloured disks. players cannot built in Them, or do earthworks The intent is: to limit anything that increases lag for the Bosses To protect Towns and other places of interest No building or landscaping is allowed in a Territory. The exact restictions are shown in the Map when you hover your cursor in the Territory. Top right corner of the map. This varies depending on the nature of the territory. At Towns this is required to allow acess to the Town by all players but to limit who can build/demolish there etc. To build in these locations you need to submit your plan/idea to a Thane to have it approved as a petition to the King. Approval is rare so you need a GOOD Reason.
