Um, I'm rather concerned about the "semi-permanent world resets" in the title there. Does that mean the worlds aren't going to get reset monthly anymore? Because while there was still ores to be found even just yesterday it's still good to have them reset once a month just for the deserts and other biomes that can get cleaned out by all the people needing the materials...

Hey you never know, maybe they're resetting the mining/nether/end worlds as well since the server needed to be put into maintenance for the diamonds.

So maybe it's actually a good thing. ;3

I do have to agree that it does seem to go against the earlier-stated intentions that it should be player-to-player and chest-shop based. It also almost makes it a slap in the face that we can donate to get noobs but we aren't allowed to have things like wood or farm supplies in the /shop because you can get too much at once, as if money was far more important than the time it would take to continually harvest items.

I really didn't mind being able to buy MCMMO luck pack for higher double drop chances or whatever, or buying wild chunks/town chunks but... being able to buy noobz themselves... That seems a little I don't know. Too much, or something. Like it's giving a huge advantage for people who are able and wanting to just drop in money and not put in all the hours of work that everyone else has to for what they get. That was always one of the things I disliked about other games, that those who could put in real-world money instantly got huge advantages that you couldn't keep up with just because you're "poor".

I do put the ingredients in first, that way it's far easier to simply switch out the bottles between netherwart/sugar/redstone brewing stands to make a faster process than simply putting the sugar in all the time.

You may be right about that because Tidal tells me that she puts her ingredients in after the bottles, which would go along with the theory that you have there.

Not a mod here but maybe you could give a bit of more detail on why you need help with it from a mod? A kick isn't the same as a ban, and as I recall it would sometimes kick people for flying when they were riding a boat. Maybe it's something a bit like that.

You should be able to get on the server again though, if that's what the main problem is. Otherwise I'll just wait for a mod to put more details here.

Thanks Law, nice to see that it's in mind. I don't mind if it takes some time, there's lots of other more pressing matters that I'm sure have been focused on. It's great to know it'll be implemented whenever it is.

I agree that mob grinding is useless, the more times you kill one type of mob in a row the less money you get. I do believe the highest money I've seen personally would be nearly 3Nbz per that mob. Therefore if you keep killing a chain of zombies your money decreases quickly, with it starting out I think around 2nbz and swiftly diving, the lowest I saw it go before I stopped was 0.19Nbz.

Now even if you did manage to kill a different mob every single time it's just not worth it at all, even to get 100 nbz if it's 2nbz each you'd have to kill 50 mobs just for that. Which can take a very long time depending on where you are, even in a desert where mobs spawn continuously. Factor in the damage to your armor/health/weapon and it's just not a good source of income at all.

This seems like a really silly complaint to me, you don't NEED to chop down 2x2 trees. It makes for far too easy and fast wood gathering. It still works perfectly fine with chopping down lots of trees if they're single-trees, as Dracomere's Spruce farm proves when I was doing Tree Feller on it even after woodcutting was lowered with 16 trees per floor I can chop down one-by-one in a row with Tree Feller just fine.

So don't go trying to say you "can't chop trees quickly", it's simply been brought down so people can't get an absurd amount of wood in a short amount of time. And it was absurd if you could get a double chest in just one tree feller. I think it's perfectly fine that we can't chop down 2x2 trees now. If I recall the higher your Tree Feller the less damage is done to your axe, so as you raise the skill you should be able to chop down the 2x2 over time again anyway. But then you would have worked hard for it and I wouldn't think it OP if you could get a dc in one swing.

You're not losing anything, it's just that it's now easier/cheaper to buy wilderness plots.

No, Lawman said in the post that nothing will be refunded.

I thought that was already existing in towny, or at least it was a long time ago. I can't imagine they took it out. Can't you simply only give them the rank of recruiter and they can only recruit people? I remember that's how it worked before at least.

First of all, I don't particularly care for how you're acting recently Max. You were kind of cool in my opinion before but now you're just dropping. I'm getting sick of you purposely troll baiting people, it's annoying and not at all nice. 

And don't you dare claim otherwise, that whole "Other than Adrian, I'm shocked the rest of you aren't doing the same.  At least show a little gratitude and devotion to the server." was clearly intended to anger people, I don't want to hear your flimsy excuses of "I was using the same words as Bexn though!" because there are clear differences between what you intend and what Bexn intended. It's especially clear with your standoffish attitude in several other places around the forum.

I think you might want to look into being more mature yourself if this is how you think people are supposed to act towards others who are just genuinely interested in getting to play a game they've been waiting nearly a year for by this point. They've been appreciating everything that the admins are putting into the game, they've been appreciating it for a year now with all the teasers and such that have surely already been put out.

Anyway, first thing that I'm going to be doing is working on materials for my town and playing around with the buildings with everyone who's going to be in my town.
