Welcome all new veterans

I like the idea of the equal rates for McMMO, but I would still like the implementation of a 2x rate for Weekend or special events, since everyone has equal opportunities to take advantage of the events.

I'll just take my optimism elsewhere then!

k bye geo 

I can wait, ill be patient. The wait is well worth it But I cant see the harm in a 1.6 Noobstown Server for now. I assume that the wait can be quite frustrating to some people.

Can wait to restart the fun Thanks to all the Admins for all the hard work they have put into updating the server!

Not going to lie, I feel like I have been here a long time. I had so many great memories of this server, and I want to share them. It seems only right to post my story now, since V6 will be starting soon. Its time to end this chapter of noobstown, and time to make a new one~


I joined over a year ago now, back in April of 2012. Not a day later I joined Forthwind which was run by ajhl49. I played non-stop for the next week putting in long hours helping clear plots for members of the town. I donated supplies for new structures in the town and had tons of fun. I met some really awesome people like Dmonemac95, tyja, and Achmedofhell who were all TA's of the town.

Then things took a turn for the worst. Some former TA's decided to destroy the town that I had come to know and love. They withdrew all the money in the town bank, and when I returned to the town the next day everything was gone. We lost the location of the town outpost, and spent hours and hours searching the world of noobstown in hope of finding the lost outlook. While the structures in the town still stood, all the entities (doors, signs, ect) were cleared. The town worked together to rebuild, and with the help of the admin team we were able to rebuild Forthwind. After a day or so of searching we finally located the lost town outpost and decided that it would be best to take all the valuable items from the unclaimed land and forget about the outpost.

After the horrible incident I was promoted to the rank of TA. I recruited new members to the town, and made lots of new friends. Ajhl49, who used to be a moderator of the server, was having issues with his internet connection and became inactive. After that the only TA's left were Tyja, Achmedofhell, and I.

I ventured out on my own in the Ender world and built myself the first ever automatic enderman farm on the server. You could get to level 50 for enchanting in about 5-10 minutes. The spawner was a huge success and Achmedofhell and I worked together to create our very own enchantment shop. We became best friends on the server and worked well together.

Forthwind never fully recovered from its destruction, and it slowly faded away. People came and left, and things just were not the same. I left for a month on vacation, and when I came back the town had gone bankrupt with nobody to save it. I took my stuff from the town and made my own secret underground base maybe 500 blocks away from were the old town used to be. I made myself my own base and lived there alone. Achmedofhell became inactive due to his account being hacked, and I had no town, and had lost most of my friends.

I stayed active for a while, but I left sometime around the beginning of the next school year. It was hard to leave but I felt like it would be best if I did. I still logged on here and there to see how things were going but I never fully rejoined.

Then about 4 months later, I rejoined the server. I came back and  made new friends like DiggyPerro, Entangled, TwistedLover, and AQW_assassian01. I still owned a good amount of wealth, and I played for hours all over again. I joined Dragonfire, and worked with DiggyPerro on some new projects. I leveled up my fishing skills for what seemed like forever.

After the launch of the Live Map I was ecstatic. I used the map to locate the old outpost for the town of Forthwind. When I arrived, I was surprised to find that the old outpost had been reclaimed by another person. That is how I met MrFloris. One of the old TA's, Dmonemac95, sold the old outpost land to MrFloris. I made a deal with MrFloris that allowed me to share the land with him as long as I promised not to grief anything.

Things were going good, and then V6 was announced. I was a little sad at first about the idea of letting go of everything that I had worked so hard for. But I think that it will be for the best. I went inactive again for another maybe 3-4 months I have finally returned yet again in the light of a new beginning. I cant wait for V6 to come, and to have more new stories to tell.

Thanks for reading, and I hope I didnt make it too long for you

It sounds like V6 will be tons of fun I miss playing on Noobstown so maybe the reset for V6 will give me a fresh new start! The new ideas are amazing, and I can't wait until the release. Admins, thank you for all the hard work you have put into the update

Ironic how you say this then a few months ago you say "the day the server resets, will be the day i leave" with all the discussion about V6
But at least you changed your mind for the better

I said that, but you only took parts of what I said, what I really said was:

"The day the server restart, is the the day I leave, if they can't figure out a good way to make me stay"
Which they did, so your argument is EXTREMELY invalid... don't state something, when you don't know a thing of what you're talking about, cause it is really annoying.

No offense or anything, but wasnt the reason you were banned Miner was for being disrespectful? I am not trying to offend you or anything of that nature, but its best not to say that other people are annoying or stupid Just trying to look out for you man; I do not want to see you get banned again.

First off I am a fairly new Noob!  Joined in Nov/Dec 12 timeframe - and I must say that I am as happy as a clam to be a part of this great Family!

At first I was like what does this mean?  After rereading the original post over and all the comments I understand better now.  My first thought was ahhhhhh, but oh well its just a game that I play to relieve the stress of work and make new friends, and to bond with the rugrat.  Then what popped into my head was, Ok Im cool with this now I just have to explain this to my kid - YIKES.  Who I am sure will be PO'd at first but he will come to accept the new and improved Noobstown.

I only have a couple comments.

1. Thank you Fatnoob and all the admins/mods and players!  You have made the MC noob a happy camper!

2. 2 months will be a tough haul, but I understand that change takes time.  If there is any way to make it happen quicker I am all for it.

3. Regarding the auction house.  I am a bit sceptical since before MC I was a longtime WOW player.  In WOW the AH got to become quite cutthroat.  Let me give you an MC example.  I put up a Diamond for 200 noobs, Player A decides to undercut me to sell theirs first so now the going price is 190, then player B says well how about 170, and over and over.  So my diamond just sits there since I am the most expensive, so I have to repost it now for 170 or less. You now end up with a new starting price for diamonds of 170 and the price reduction starts all over again.  It can become a vicious cycle and you end up with items that are basically being given away.

Just my 2 cents regarding the AH concept, something to watch closely.  I know its not much different then the current market, other then the fact that you have a 1 stop shop for everyone now.

Hey,

I have also played WoW in the past and this auction is heavily based off that exact concept. However, with those issues in mind we are going to combat that. 1. After an initial price has been for an item you won't be able to undercut by a certain amount, if the item begins to drop in value you won't be able to post it any lower than a set amount as an attempt to bring the item back up to speed, we may also limit the amount of that item being posted for a set amount of time to increase the value long term. Lot's to think about and sort out regarding this auction system, we hope we can make something that will work for everyone.

Thanks for the feedback!

This is why there is an admin shop, or something that has all prices set in stone. This way, things do not get out of hand. Like since Noobstown has an admin shop that sets diamond at the price of about 200 each. Nobody in their right mind would try to sell their diamonds for anything less than 200. Just saying. Maybe there could be like a quick/automatic selling thing that you can do. But there is a limit to how much you can sell each day, or a certain money cap to balance it.

Are all stats and money reset? I worked so hard, and I'm not the only one either.

All current data on the server will be reset, this includes the following: Towns, Skills, Money, Blocks, Items and everything else in between. This decision was not taken lightly, but if the data was moved we would be left with the current state of the server where new players are left in a dark hole in which it's almost impossible to get onto the ladder and start enjoying the server like everyone else.

Yes, all data will be reset.

Cant you just flick on each of the switches? One is bound to work

Could the lightbulb be on already? Then if you flick all the switches you might turn it off or on.

Normally light switches show an on and off setting.

Just yes for the Harlem Shake! lol

So should we do this? If we are, then I should start making arrangement's. We could do this before the weekly server event that will be on the 23rd of February.
