If 1.6.4 was your last update, you haven't updated to the horse update yet. You might not have the new launcher and if you do then I say go to Mojang because that's a problem only they can solve.

I guess nobody got the joke so I'll explain it: trained monkeys to do the work while you do other stuff.

It wasn't meant as an insult to anyone... I never said you were the trained monkeys.

By "too far ahead" I meant that you are taking it for granted that everything will go according to the plan but you can't really predict how the server and the economy will turn out while it's offline.
I knew what trained monkeys meant... it was the fact that the statement implied that that was how we looked at the people who worked for us that was (mistakenly) taken as offensive.

And yes, we did think about how the server will be while we are offline. We also realize that not everything is going to go according to plan. We factored in things like labor time and money for materials, among other things. This is something Smith and I talk about frequently when building models of shops or other buildings for V6. Trust me, we will have everything under control. You won't need to be concerned about it :). Just enjoy our prices

As for the trained monkeys thing, we are not using anyone as trained monkeys. Everyone helping us has had the option to either help us or leave and do something else. Everyone is free to do what they wish and it's not right of you to call them trained monkeys when they've freely decided to help us.

Exactly. All people who are helping us aren't going to be slaved, they could quit at any time they wanted. The people who help us will be getting paid for their help as well, so the term "trained monkeys" wouldn't be correct.

People who owned shops in V5 bought at least some of their stuff from someone. That's not having trained monkeys, it is quite simply the cycle of business. It's just like real life: some people get materials, then a company buys the materials and sells them again, so that way everyone profits.

That says it all :P

Also, did anyone notice at the end of the preview when it said "Soon. Very soon." it says under it in small letters "Seriously, this time guys (no joke)!"? +1 to the admins for that.

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Implementation of Fair Mcmmo
« on: 3 Jan 2014, 03:30:54 »
I agree with the idea.

Also, when Max said that you "can't compare yourself to yourself or you will never be the best" he was perfectly right. I don't see what Foob or Water was saying when they said "you can't compare Noobscraft to other servers because that would be like comparing Noobscraft to MineApoc". That is actually quite far off in my opinion because MineApoc and Noobscraft are two completely different types of servers. Max is comparing this server with another towny+ MCmmo server.

That's just my two cents on the matter.

I thank you for conveying your opinion, and as I mentioned your opinions are certainly valued and taken into account, but if I may just pick up on a point you mentioned about comparing servers; what I meant by the quote 'You can't compare Noobscraft to other servers...' I didn't mean it is impossible to compare servers, it is certainly not impossible, just unfeasible; you could make the comparison that economies on other servers are different to Noobscraft's, but like I've mentioned before, we use custom plugins, namely the Auction in this case; which gives players more flexibility to chose prices rather than a linear price for everyone.

Although, I agree with the comment that Noobscraft and Apoc are both completely different types of servers, and maybe it was a poor example, but I was speaking metaphorically, or rather typing metaphorically :)

Essentially, what I'm trying to say is that the Noobstown experience is somewhat unique, therefore any comparison wouldn't really be beneficial to us, I hope this reply provides at least a bit of clarity :D

-Waterworth

Alright I can see that... but getting back to the original point, I think VIPs already have quite a few good perks without the extra speed on gaining MCmmo levels... to name a few cool perks:

3 houses
Magic Compass (basically an infinite stack of Enderpearls)
/workbench (allowing you to craft anywhere)
/enderchest (extra storage that takes up no space! :D)

So when you think about it, adding yet another advantage for VIPs seems like... well, overkill.

I am curious as to how you are going to be able to run a town, a nation, and the 'first big business' all at the same time?

Two words: Time management
Trained Monkeys.

But really, the server didn't start yet and you're assuming a lot of things by planning too far ahead.

What do you mean by trained monkeys?

Also, trust me, we aren't planning too far ahead. We have planned ahead, but that isn't a bad thing. We know our limit and since we know that we will have help, we could plan more than what a single person could do by themselves.

half Life 3 is a game that doesn't exist yet and is intended to be a sequel to Valve's hit game Half Life 1 and 2. Instead, they made Half Life 2: Episode 2. Valve have refused to comment about it, so it is mainly just used as a joke by people. People also, as a joke, take certain numbers from something and do sums with it to equal 3, then say that confirms Half Life 3.

P.S: I'm finally back!

That's the whole joke... Half Life 3 never came out! So we were comparing that and joking about how V6 would never come out.

Thanks for the update Joe. I've kinda been lurking on the site waiting for another update ;D

Same here :D

Harry if i can help in anyway with designing buildings let me know. I would be more than happy to make something.

Thanks sparks, you're one of the architects in the town for being one of the winners of the building competition in Snakevenom during V5, so I'm sure there'll be something.

Its good and all, but 1 the arena needs more of a shape. Sorta ugly just being a square. And also all your planning now, but in the real world theres not actually a huge flat spot. So it brings up my question are you going to really clear a huge land area for these builds or work around the land. Again I don't want to sound offensive just was wondering :)

~phillips8

No offense taken, its still in planning stage, and we were actually planning on not having a flat land, because we want to work with the land. More progress has been made on it and we are currently working on more arena ideas, like maybe floating islands above a huge lava pit, or a spaceship, or a huge multi-level glass or leaf maze.

Empire Trading and Manufacturing Company (Empire T&M or Empire Co for short) is going to be Noobscraft's first big business. Featuring a wide range of items at great prices, Empire will be your one stop shop for every item found in survival! If you need materials for your big projec, why spend hours collecting the materials yourself, facing frustrations like dying and losing your stuff when you can go to our store and buy the stuff at a great, low price? We will have shops open in:

Utopia (Headquarters and largest shop here; it'll be stocked most of the time.)
Noobstown

Eventually, we will have shops in many major towns!

Dragon eggs to dyes, beacons to bricks, cakes to carpets, chicken eggs to spawn eggs, we will have it all! If you can find it in survival, you can find it in an Empire store!

We also do installations and interior/exterior decoration!

If a chest is out of stock, please mail the player who the shop chest belongs to and myself. If I am the owner of the chest, also notify SmithB0118.

Hey all,

I hope you are all doing well and preparing for the big holiday season ahead! ~ This is just going to be a quick update to inform you all of the current progress with Version 6.0 and a plan of action.

As you know, we've been quite unlucky with Minecraft updates as of recent and thus has set us quite far back in terms of releasing "V6". Such quite humorous comments have been thrown around, we'd like to share a few: "V6 is like Half life 3" and "V6 won't happen in my lifetime" but I can assure you, it will and we have a plan of action! :)

On the 20th of December I and other members of the team officially break away for the holidays (Don't know if it is the same for you guys) which means we can start focusing on preparing the version based on what Bukkit has released thus far, which is moderately stable. This means, with regret, we won't have a December release . This is obviously because of Christmas being 5 days following and members of the team spending time with family (rightly so). However, we have quite a large break which will roughly last until the 20-29th of January which we plan to slot the release sometime during the 2nd-29th. Unfortunately, I cannot give a specific date but use that as a rough estimate. When we feel it is appropriate to restart the launch clock we will do so.

I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and I apologize once again for the community not being as one for the back end of this year. As always, I cannot tell you how much we appreciate your dedication and support towards the server and your ability to keep the community as one big strong family.

We hope the new year ahead will be the most enjoyable for all of you, and we can't wait to see you on the server in 2014.

Remember! The Calendar is still on-going via the site and you can still keep picking up some tokens and other rewards during the Holiday season. Don't miss out!

Additional Information:

- Donation coupons will have a new period set after we release to give you ample amount of time to spend and use them.

- Donation coupons will be sent out as soon as possible, don't worry if you haven't received yours yet.

- Anyone who has won VIP/Had VIP before the release will have their time added and will be instantly granted access to VIP based perks on Day 1.


If I have missed out anything important in this update which concerns you, please comment below and we'll try out best to answer all of your questions/concerns.


Have a Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year,

Noobscraft Team

Merry Christmas to all of you guys :)

Also, I don't think "unlucky" even begins to describe how the release of V6 has been. What was supposed to be "one or two weeks" has become 4 months. I remember someone saying on one of the topics relating to the V6 release "it is usually near the end of a man's suffering that he thinks he can take no more." Well I thought that for a while, but then when 1.7 came out and waiting started again, I lost all interest in Minecraft. I'm not playing at all until V6 comes out, so until then, I'll be playing my iPod and Xbox and being on the forums. I wish it was up BEFORE Christmas break, but I guess that won't work. Knowing my luck, it'll open on the 2nd (the day I get back from vacation). >:(
