Personally i think 5 is way to small of a number like mabie 20 cause trying to get to level 50 at 5 at a time think about how long that would take also with dragons no longer being spawned so basically getting xp is a full time job to get any at a real level.

We have done this ahead of 1.3 as gaining experience will be much easier. The max enchant is 30 levels after 1.3

I thought the problem of people going AFK for hours was solved by auto kicking people after being AFK for 30 minutes. :L

People used mods to auto re-connect them, wasn't working. This will!

The Market district is now open for business! To enter this district type /spawn and turn right until you spot the market canopy, once inside this district you are able to buy and sell to users that own shops, you may also purchase a shop for 10,000 Noobz. (Plot tax's per day in Noobstown = 100 Nbz)

Rules:

1. No Building higher than the entrance wall.
2. Keep your shop stocked.
3. Sensible Buildings please (No pixel art)
4. 1 Plot per person, no buying more than one plot. (You may however share plots)

Information:

Left click to sell to a shop, right click to buy from them.

B: Stands for Buy price
S: Stands for Sell price.

How to set up a Chest shop:

How to create a ChestShop?
- Place a chest, if you haven't already.
- Place a sign 1 block near the chest (for example, above the chest)
- On the sign, write:


(Item name can actually be item ID or alias)
First line will be filled in by the plugin automatically.
Price is a combination of buy and sell price.
You have to have B near buy price (people buy from you), and S near sell price (people sell to you).
If you have both B and S, separate them with a colon - :
For example:


means that AcrobotPL wants to sell 64 diamonds for 10 currency, and buy them back from you for 5 currency.
Also, if you put "free" instead of price, it is free to buy or sell

- Now, when you finish editing the sign, if LWC is turned on in config, shop will be automatically created.
Also, if your default protection is turned on in the config, people won't be able to break chest, sign or the block the sign is on

Alright, so many things to say about this. Because really none of us honestly like this, even if we're not whining you can't say you don't think it's slightly annoying, can you? I mean we all loved being able to just go /home whenever we wanted to, and now it's gone.

And the worst part to me? We were never even asked about this. We were never told it was going to happen, and that's what angers me the most. We're the players of Noobscraft, we should have say in what's going to happen, especially something like this. The fact that we weren't even asked makes me feel like Fatnoob is starting to care less and less about how we feel and how we enjoy things on the server, and whether we want something changed or not.

Yes, it's only five seconds you have to wait. But that's five seconds that anything can happen to you. You can die via creeper, you could die in lava, etc. We all enjoyed being able to /home whenever we needed to. It wasn't fully survival, but we accepted it because of how helpful it was. And then we can't even move while trying to tp, even tping home you have to wait five seconds.

And this also means that the mods themselves are under this rule. They have very busy times when they get on the server and people can be very impatient. So what if someone's griefing a plot, or trying to set off TNT on a person's plot to kill them? Situations where a mod would need to be there as quickly as possible, or move around as quickly as possible from one tp to the next. This stops them from being able to do quick things like this, which is a severe problem for situations like this.

The fact that Foob took this away from even the mods has me slightly alarmed. I'm curious if he even asked them? I would hope that he would be listening to his mods, but something tells me he may not be. I know myself that Tidal is worried to say anything on this thread because she feels like she's going to get in trouble for it. That should never happen.

Mods are the links between the admins and the players, they talk with them daily, deal with many of their problems and have a good feel for how players feel and think about things. If anything they should be able to speak their mind (Politely of course!) about different changes that will/are going to happen. I find it horrible that even one of the mods feels like they aren't allowed to speak their mind.

"The fact that we weren't even asked makes me feel like Fatnoob is starting to care less and less about how we feel and how we enjoy things on the server, and whether we want something changed or not."

I find this very disrespectful, not only do I and the other Admin's spend hours trying to maintain and keep the server in a healthy state we also try and make the experience of Noobstown as fun and pleasurable as we can. Those teleporting delays are nothing compared to most servers and some servers don't even provide any teleporting what so ever.

The aspect of survival is to survive, adding teleporting is essentially allowing you to escape death, that's all fun and games but why play a survival server if you are not willing to die or play correctly? The fact I have noticed people "cheating" using these methods was slightly annoying to me, people are able to just teleport away from any difficult situation they get themselves into, what's the fun in that? Why not just give you all god-mode and be done with it? No, because that would be stupid and it's the same principle really.

"The fact that Foob took this away from even the mods has me slightly alarmed. I'm curious if he even asked them?

I took this away to quickly solve the cheating issue, I doubted that the change would actually affect the Moderation rank, seems it did. If any moderator was quickly to point out this issue to me directly it could have been easily solved. Do you really think I would limit the staff from helping people? Making them wait to go and fix a grief? I don't think so.

Anyway, being a nice person and all I have removed this. I don't like to see people upset and I really dislike having "hate" directed to me. I think people missunderstood the reasoning for putting this into place, it was simply because people lost the survival aspect of the server. Come on, even you said "But that's five seconds that anything can happen to you. You can die via creeper, you could die in lava, etc. We all enjoyed being able to /home whenever we needed to. It wasn't fully survival, but we accepted it because of how helpful it was." Helpful as it maybe this totally removes the survival of the server, being able to escape from creepers, lava and so forth is essentially cheating.

Just going to say to all those who whine, the fact we are a survival server you should all respect that. If you were to play single player and be struck by one of these life/death situations, you wouldn't have the safety of a teleporting so why should you here? This is no different, its Minecraft SURVIVAL multiplayer.

After watching the video, me and Kikass117 almost cried! XD It was an Amazing video, and we are both very sad we will miss the Party, Joe save me and Kikass some Diamonds and Cake please!!!!!

If anything we will be on the live-stream (if it you live-stream it!)
It was a spectacular video!

Also, the 10,000th member should get VIP for a month! XD

Thanks Masterr, sorry you won't be able to make it. Yes, we will be live streaming the event in high-quality.

Such a beautiful video for a fitting occasion. I am so proud to be a part of this fantastic community as this post proves. This is such a great milestone for the server and forums. I can't wait to watch this progress continue. I must thank everyone for making this server so great, thank you.

Thanks Danniel! ~ On another note we just hit over 30k Server visitors - 32,327

Would it be possible to broadcast a warning at least 15 seconds before the server goes down for maintenance?

It would allow us:
A. to pick up any items still laying on the ground (for example I was just taking down rooflike obbiblocks from above with a lot of the fallen blocks still laying at the ground below and now happily despawning into oblivion once the server gets back on).
B. to get somewhere safe, for example when mining near lava, being inside a mobgrinder or simply diving. Especially since we seem to spawn for the server while the clients are still loading.
C. to get off ladders. Sometimes the clients don`t seem to like it when you are logged out on a ladder and has problems loading the terrain (timing out) when you try to log back in.
D. finish a conversation (especially if it`s longer than 15 seconds).
E. to simply log out ourselfes or at least prepare for the aprupt disconnect. Instead of suddenly staring at the disconnect screen.

Will do sorry man, just many issues as of late with these awful lag spikes. The server box had to be restarted and it's getting late here in the UK so I choose to do a quick restart. This won't happen again.

Is it possible to show who has the most blocks mined in the game? If so I would want to see that.

Yes,  scroll over the community tab and click the "Game statistics" link which will lead you to the statistics page. The data regarding blocks mined will be displayed there.

Lawrence is working hard to fix the mysql issues causing the on/off, while I update plugin's, re-add abilities to Mcmmo and add the death changes as promised.

No item loss death stuff?

Not yet, we are making updates maybe tomorrow or Friday. We have had some issues with our own plugin so Lawrence is still making some edits to that.

This thread is now locked. I thought Minecraft was for kids? Clearly both of you aren't mature enough to start playing yet.
