Official hive
The vanilla box
Short answer
Official servers share a character idea. Community is a different box. Read it.
Also: official servers · hive
How it works
Hive means where the character lives. Official is the textbook. Mods live elsewhere.
What to do
Read the browser. See the-queue and vanilla-box.
Don't
Don't drag an official kit onto a trader server in your head.
