Two things:

Is that a colosseum?

And, which is the Veterans' Area?

Indeed it is, our very own PVP arena to hold over 100+ people, the VIP district is the one with the small V above the shop. or top left.

Its gonna make our player built towns pale in comparison though.

Hopefully not, our main town is a quest hub and a starting area not really where people can buy plots and live in.

WOW WOW Wait did u say "Quest hub" that reveals a lot of V5 in that one sentence!!!

We have NPC's that give out quests for rewards and money!

Sounds fun might consider it!

I don't think I'm that old, but I am over 40 and notice a lot of your members are somewhat younger.   I've played on other PVP servers in the past and prefer the survival/non-PVP servers. I've had the opportunity to play on the Noobstown server on and off for about four months (my daughters acct) and really enjoy the community. I work in technology and loved legos, so naturally I'm hooked on minecraft and play whenever I can. I'm in GMT-8 and if anyone needs help, I'll be glad to do what I can - I like to build, mine and farm. Most importantly, I don't want to be anyone's mother in-game! Is it cool if I hang around?

Hello, I would just like to firstly say welcome to Noobstown. The server is open to all ages, and is monitored 24/7 by our dedicated moderators to keep our players safe. We have a small group of older players ranging from 25-45 and some family's that play together, so I am positive you'll be fine within the community.

Enjoy playing on Noobstown, see you in game.

So over the last 10 hours or so Notch has been sending out tweets about how the Yogscast behaved at Minecon, he was appalled at the swearing they had done throughout their live panel.

Here are some Tweet quotes:

Notch

I'm very sorry about the behavior of the people we won't work with any more. Celebrity or not, you don't f-bomb kids.

People

Who was it? Was it the Yogscast?

Notch

Yes, Yogscast.

Randomer

I just want to hear @YOGSCAST's side of the story, man.

Yogscast

You will hear it in full graphic detail when we're back in the UK

Notch

Wow. Hate, insults and threats are flooding in from Yogscast fans. I'll stop biting my tongue now.

Yogscast repeatedly insulted people, talked behind their backs, refused to cooperate, and acted like total spoiled divas nonstop.

They called us "a bunch of nerds who don't know how to run a company", demanded that we pay them to come here (nobody else got paid).

And they claim they're the reason minecraft is big and that we should thank them more than anyone else in the community. They're total d**ks

A kid wanted them to sign something I had signed, and they said they'd cross it out and put "f**k you" there instead.

Everyone else in the Minecraft community is all about respecting and caring. They're not. They're an isolated island of egos.

All this said, I'm very tired at the moment, and this will probably pass. I do like the work they do, very much.

Yogscast

An Official statement/Vlog will be released when Simon, Lewis and Hannah return from Las Vegas to clarify what has... http://t.co/JJyNWNEB

we are about to embark on a 24 hour journey home so will officially respond when back in the UK - Lewis


So what do you guys think? Big misunderstanding or a troll.. you decide! Either way its quite upsetting to see.

Wasn't mee

The situation

Hello everyone it's been quite a busy few days getting ready for v5 and waiting for the release of Minecraft. The Noobscraft team was planning to release Noobstown v5 on the 19th of November but we are having some trouble with Bukkit at this moment in time. This is due to  them not updating their server software to 1.0.0 without this we cannot run plug-ins and other cool stuff. We currently have a non recommended build of Bukkit installed but there are way too many bugs and glitches to make the release an exciting, safe and an overall fun experience that we can all enjoy. So, lets not rush into things and ruin what we have worked on for about a month or two.

Our Original Plan

On the 17th of November 2011 we had finished Noobstown v5 ready for the Veterans and was planning to open as soon as Bukkit released, we expected Bukkit to update faster as they knew about the release date for a very long time but unfortunately for us Notch and the Mojang team have changed so much code that it is going to take longer than expected. We expect a safe build around Wednesday time on the 23rd of November, we hope anyway. Once we are able to release V5 successfully we will allow Veterans to login and play for 3 days then V5 wil be open to everyone. Once again we are sorry for the delay and keep your eyes pealed for updates!

What will happen on the day of the release (Veterans)

On the day of the release we will start white-listing each Veteran one by one, we'll make a post on the VIP section of the forum about opening and so forth. Once you guys login you'll be able to spend your donation points instantly and get working on what you wish to. (You may come across some issues with plugin set up and so forth on v5 but we'll slowly try and improve things over the three days as you guys are playing)

I posted that the TEMPORARY server is now on bukkit 1.0.0 and if all goes well we will then upgrade v5 to 1.0.0 Bukkit.

The temporary server has been updated to vanilla 1.0.0 you can go on and play now, although we are still waiting for the full release of Bukkit for the grand opening of V5.


Please have patience!

V5 Will be out at some point today for Veteran's only, Bukkit are currently working on an update live at Minecon shouldn't be too long.

I enjoy this server Fatnoob. Big pat on the back sir. Here's another donation before we kick off with V5. =)
