Server Merge?
« on: 12 Sep 2015, 18:40:14 »
Hey all, I would like to ask for more information about this server merge between Apoc and Noobstown. After reading this thread: http://www.minecraftapocalypse.com/news.html

Members of the Apoc community are asking a lot of questions in regards to VIP, Skills, Items, Plots etc.. being transferred. A lot of members really don't want to have to start over again and we have been kinda left hanging with very little information to go on. Many members have literally stopped levelling and simply joined other servers due to the lack of information.

There hasn't been one admin join Apoc server to answer any questions, it would be nice to get some feedback from the owners as to what exactly is going to happen to our accounts when the merge takes place.

Thanks.

The Servers and there occupants who have spent hundreds of hours playing the server Mineapoc.com may not like to see all there hard worked items be put to waste at the possibility of a RE server format and with the probability of a new map merge that has never happened since the release of both servers it wouldn't be fair to have the players of Apoc to pay the penalty of heaving Less experienced players joining the server and to the "Devs" if you want more donations Guarantee  things! Such as eleven if you were to add different items to the donation shot than E-Tokens "Which are 99.99% Useless then you may reach higher goals players are simply quitting because of the lack of content that is being put out onto the server I my self have purchased a life time mcmmo skill boost and VIP which are worth it but with the amount of bugs on the server peoples hopes are dwaining that any staff pay the least amount of care to the server!... So as i conclude I feel as tho in the best interest of both party's that the servers stay Unmerged and that the "Devs" Produce more elaborate ways to capture the players minds in different ways that would best suite the players needs instead of your own.

I agree with Waldo that a complete reset of all the work players have put into in Minapoc would be devastating. If there is no way to get around this curve of keeping stats, plots, etc, many plays may drop for good. Some way to either move over some stuff like stats. Also if stats cannot be changed use the prestige system, yet buff it a bit since it would not be a choice anymore. Please just don't let us down, make it enjoyable for all

Thanks for making so many memories, gonna miss the old mineapoc

Don't get me wrong, I think a merge could be healthy to both communities in the long run. I just don't want to see one community getting priority over the other and like I said, there's been no real important information about our accounts.

I understand the lack of effort to the server Mineapoc.com although (Apocalypse VIP players will be given free Noobscraft.com status and all returning players to the new system will be rewarded/given a perk/advantage in the new system. Apocalypse will be moving to a brand new version/re branding which means the data will not be copied over as the new system will not use the same features. If you have any questions, please go to Noobscraft.com and the support part of the forum and I'll try my best to answer any questions/concerns. Do not speak to Noobstown staff, they cannot help you regarding Apocalypse related questions / Use the forum!) is  tad over the top directed at the players Moral challenges aroused by the possibility of losing everything you've worked for during a almost 3 year time period! And please if your a fan of THE Apocalypse! Help save the server... Its not worth a re run if you think it is then you need to take in to account the players... more importantly the ones who have played the most....

Hi guys,

The reason for the merge is that due to real life commitments I cannot continue to run two communities anymore, I have tried to bring content to Apoc, but the time those things take to put together are just not viable anymore without letting the other server die out. I can't win in this situation as I do not have enough time to give to create content to please both communities, the easier way for me to please both communities is merging the two into one larger, manageable community. This is the solution we're taking instead of shutting off Apocalypse completely. I understand you're upset about lost data, but that's what usually happens in Version changes and Apocalypse is well overdue on that front, with 3 years of the same data. The server has balance issues, economy issues, outdated features/plugins that developers have given up on that we can no longer maintain and lots of things that the Elven update won't fix long term. We're offering something brand new, a great solution for both communities that will be a lot of fun.

regarding apoc you are right about many things and i think what we were trying to get across-ed was that we didn't want much of the servers native theme to be changed! although thank you for considering the communities response!

The theme is not changing from an 'Apocalypse', we're making it a completely separate identity to the actual core game mode of Noobstown but both communities will have access to each other/rewards will be interchangeable. So that means when we update Noobstown you guys can enjoy the stuff there, and when we update Dungeons the Noobstown people can play that too. It's the best of both worlds but completely optional what you decide to play.

Thanks for your response Foob, my follow-up question is. Will we keep our boost and VIP we bought?

With the prestige system that was mentioned on the Elven update, will that be guild lines to the new Apoc/Noobstown merge?

Plots too, yes. Noobstown will be used for the plot/building side of things as I said you can bring your rewards etc back and forth from the Dungeons system to Noobstown but you don't have to if you choose not to.

Perhaps the mineapoc players could receive some tokens for their skills/money/belongings. Just like what happened when we switched from v5 to v6?

Name changing will be sorted for the relaunch.

Foob, what about those who donated for armour and/or VIP. If we lost our armour is that it? Or do we get armour/ another perk in the new dungeons?

Wait, so the prestige system goes for mineapoc's power levels as well? I had ~16k power level in mcmmo, which was beyond the 'deity' prestige.

Quite a while ago(mineapocs last birthday I think),  among things dropped were alpha testing tickets.  Is there a list of them somewhere and are they still valid?

Thanks

No, mcmmo won't be used in the new system but there are ways to prestige in the new system. We may bump people up a free prestige for having high mcmmo in current version as stated in the perks/rewards/boost section of the rewards.

There will be rewards/perks for VIP players.

Will the merge happen during v6 or later versions? Also will the servers actually merge or will it just be a hub?
