Uhm, isn't it a bit unfair that we used REAL money to get the points, but that the coupon codes can expire if we don't use them in time? Maybe something worth reconsidering? Just a friendly suggestion. lifetime VIP, exciting :)

If you read our terms of purchase: http://www.noobscraft.com/shop/terms

"If for whatever reason any of our services are down and you are unable to access them, we are in no way responsible for any issues which may be caused. Noobscraft.com and the Noobstown server are not obliged to provide available services 24/7, 365 days a year. If at any time we decide to add, remove, or edit any of our services or features we have the right to do so"


Upon donating you are agreeing to those terms, we are changing the system for the better and staying on the point system does not help us in any way shape or form. Coupon codes will expire three months after the version is initially released, you will have plenty of options to apply those coupons to. If for any reason you cannot trade them all in by the expiry, we'll probably be able to extend the date for you. Simply contact us.

And if you have any issues in the future feel free to contact us directly instead of venting on the server, we'll be able to address any issues and concerns directly without causing controversy on the server. Thanks!

Server Announcements / Donation Points Update & Information
« on: 12 Sep 2013, 16:39:44 »
Hey everyone,

We are changing our Donation structure that will remove the point based systems. The system was created back in 2010 and was one of the only donation systems of its type. We now feel that it is beneficial for both player and server to move onto a more up to date platform.

If you donated and have points ready for V6, do not fear your points are being converted into exchangeable coupons. The coupons will be worth the same as your points converted into '£' which will allow you to spend them on all the new features available on the new system.

These coupons will be sent to all Point holders before the release of V6. Some players might receive them earlier than others it just depends who is first in the queue.

Once again we are thankful to all those who have supported us through these Two and a half years, we appreciate you all very much.

New System

- The New system will work on direct payments, you will simply add all the packages you wish into your basket and purchase them at once. (Similar prices to the points system)

- Will allow you to purchase packages for friends

- Will include up to date items and have promotions

- Will have an automated subscription feature and Life time feature options for VIP

- More user friendly for both player and parent

- Has an automated currency changing option


Once again, nothing is changing in regards to what you will get getting from your donation apart from the fact that we will no longer have a 'point' based system.

If for any reason you haven't received your donation coupon by the time of V6 please contact an Admin.

You spoke to me about this before, I just hope you can get things sorted and I'm glad Noobstown has been here for you. The main reason I have continued running the server for almost three years is the community and people like yourself. Thank you.

Anyway, chin up mate! We are here for you. Night and day. You've always got a home here at Noobstown.

So no chunks together that means no big farms :(
What about the town and nation prices for V6?

Land is merged when bought and becomes one big space (if connected) by the 1 chunk space between land I meant between another players land. Land that is owned by yourself and is connect WILL be merged as one big space. Sorry for not covering that completely.

457
I have two words: Can't. Wait.

One quick question/concern I have about the wilderness plot force fields: What happens if the areas around spawn are taken and there are unclaimed plots behind them that you can't get to because the force field is keeping you from entering the chunks that are already claimed?

Also, what will Town and Nation prices be?

PS: THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK ON V6, ADMINS. IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!

There is always a blocked (1chunk) gap between chunks, so there is always a way to move through.

can you put reserves on items so they don't sell too low?


We'll have a 'Starting Price' so you can set a fixed price you want the bidding to start at.

Hello everyone,

We announced the Version 6.0 project on the 18th of March 2013 (Our Birthday) since then the staff team has been working throughout the entire summer preparing the version. With hours and hours of coding, planning, building, crying and sleepless nights.. we've gone through it all!

But, we are here now and excited to finally put a date on the last week of V5.

Version 5.0 will officially end on September the 14th (Early morning) 2013. A week or so after this date the Administration team will be putting together all the pieces. Preparing and thoroughly testing version 6.0 for release.

However, we can't end the version without celebrating all of our memories and good times we shared in version 5.0! So, from the 9th of September all the way to the 14th we'll be celebrating the end with fun and games. (Some which you might remember over the time of v5) Not only this! We'll be making a new Veteran each day until the 14th.

Stay tuned for the official last week time table Waterworth is preparing!

We would like to thank everyone who has stuck by us throughout this whole change over process because despite knowing the server was ending you still came on to support us and stuck by us. We highly appreciate you all and you have been our motivation to make version 6.0 the best version of Noobstown. So again, thank you.

I would also like to also personally thank our Moderation team who have been able to step in and take control of events and competitions when we couldn't. Making time to keep the community occupied. They have been online answering questions, calming players down and generally being there to support you guys from the word go.

Preparing version 6.0 has really taken away any time I and other Admins have been able to interact with you guys and create cool experiences in the server, we apologies and would like to make it up to you all once Version 6.0 is finally released.

The next big event after everyone has settled into version 6.0 will be Noobsween (October), one of our most favorite times of the year here at Noobstown! Noobsween will be packed full of fun world events, spooky happenings, competitions and of course a big party!

Ending v5 with a bang,

Noobscraft Team

  The Biomes look awesome, I look forward to exploring.

  I have some experience with auctions on a different MC site , the only drawback was "Lurkers" (people the kept out of the auction until the last seconds and outbid the bidder by a small increment, will there be any safeguards to discourage such actions like limiting bids in the last five minutes to only a previous bidder or minimum bid increase amounts ?
 
  Thank you everyone for all the hard work, it's very impressive, Hoppy the Ancient Miner.

You don't have to go down the auctioning route so to speak, we are allowing 'Buyout' options too for instant buy outs. If you prefer to auction, that's how auctions tend to pan out I'm afraid.

Killing Monsters and Animals


The most straight forward way of earning money on Noobstown. Each time you kill an Animal or Monster you will be rewarded a small amount of Noobz. You do not gain rewards from spawner mobs.

Will mob arena still be around in v6? if so will we earn money from the mobs in the mob arena?

Mob arena will be around and yes, but we don't plan on releasing the automated games world straight away as that'll require a lot more work. We have plans to release it shortly after v6 though, so defiantly something else to be excited for even after release.

SO MUCH NEW INFORMATION. I CAN'T HANDLE.

I lied, yes I can. :) thanks foob!

No problem!

Quick Question: If I'm sub-mayor can I apply? ;)

If you are going to be the full mayor in v6 and the current mayor is allowing that, sure.

Noobstown General / Town Applications
« on: 20 Aug 2013, 21:42:29 »
Please make all new applications at https://www.noobscraft.com/townapp/.




Welcome to Town Applications. If you are wanting to start a new town and form a community within the server please check the following information and apply. Good luck!

By applying for Town permissions you are accepting the rules of a Mayor, these include:

- The ability to take care of a community of players
- To make good decisions that are fair and acceptable
- To understand all in game rules and ensure your citizens do too
- An understanding that everything within the town is 'shared' and is not yours to keep. Money deposited in the town bank is to be spent on town related purchases
- If and when you become less active you must be willing to pass your town to a high ranked citizen
- To be a good listener and open to take advice from your citizens
- Be able to take control of situations that occur in town (Fights, arguments and what not) You should be the one to report any rule breaking to a Noobstown staff member
- The understanding that items such as chests in towns do not belong to you. If and when plots are cleared the items do not go to the town or yourself.
- Town must grow to at least 10 Members over a 3 month period of being created. Towns are not to be created for small exclusive friendship groups, they are community orientated and must be run that way. This does not suggest you cannot run towns with friends but simply means you must be willing to accept members outside of your friendship group. If you are not an open town you should often accept applications or requests in game to your discretion.
- Understanding that town permissions are your responsibility and that you are responsible for the permissions you set. For example: Setting a plot to public which is then farmed by a random player.
- If a player has griefed your town, you are responsible for giving them power and this is out of our hands. We do not deal with permission based griefs. We do however allow Mayors the right to know who griefed them, to ensure that mayors are able to take appropriate action against them in their land. e.g. Kicking them from town.
- You must have the required money to purchase your town at the time of the application (or a short period afterwards).

If at any point the Noobstown staff feel you are no longer responsible for handling the town community, we will take the decision to revoke your town access. The Town will then be passed onto another high ranked town member, a member that is able to show more responsibility.

Causing any problems to players within your town such as removing money and leaving will result in a permanent ban.

Please understand that becoming a mayor is a highly dedicated role and you are responsible for a lot of players. We take towns very seriously and our communities enjoyment within them. (No dictators in our universe)

The Application:

Type here your in game username.

WHY?:

does the person who auctions the item get the full amount of money or is there a commission?

Good job also  :)

There is a small cost when placing an item on the auction, the increase depends on the amount you wish to have your item displayed.

There is also a 5% auctioneers cut on all sales you make. This does not effect buyers.

Does this money go anywhere or just vanish?

The money goes to the Ye Old Bank of Noobstown. :')

So foob do we have a estimated release yet cant wait for v6

Don't want to estimate when it's not just me who is part of putting the version together. Each Admin has individual tasks, for example Lawrence is working on coding and the website. Therefore I have to wait until everyone is at a stage where we can put a date on the release, right now we are still working hard towards the deadline. Hopefully we'll be able to release a date some time soon!

Did you know the wilderness world is three times larger than the current v5 world?


and then you have the Town world which is also three times larger than v5. Two giant worlds to play with and enjoy for plenty of years to come.

All I see is big mountain like biomes, but I would like to see a plains biome or something so I could build something on, sence mountains are not flat and trying to clear a mountain for a town ... Crazy

Don't worry, there are plenty of large plains and flattish biomes. The reason the video contains a lot of big and unique biomes is because its not something you would normally see in Minecraft. Showing terrain that looks 'normal' wouldn't be as exciting.

This however was recorded in the 'Wilderness' world. The Town world is mainly plains with the odd few unique biomes, in order to make building and structuring large scale empires much easier.
