As part of the rules of the Market District your shop cannot be pixel art.

They are normally web crawling bots such as the Google listings bot, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler

After many hours of being down we are back open and running stronger than ever! (Sorry about the extended downtime we came across complications during our permissions system transfer, it took time to resolve these.)

While the changes you visibly see may be minimal we have changed a lot during the recent downtime, some of the public changes include:

• Migrated to the permissions system.
• Converted all 39,866 user records to the new permissions system.
• Improved security against "hacking".
• Improved security for the chat.
• Improved automated saving of the server files to reduce any possible rollbacks.
• Improved the connection between the site and the server. (These changes will be noticeable soon!)
• Increased server stability.
• Added a custom whitelist message system. (No need for people to keep posting and asking now)
• Added better fishing rewards.
• Changed deaths in different worlds to cause you to respawn in that specific world.
• Added a spleef system.
• Added a mob arena.
• Increased Mining World border.
• Performed general plugin updates.
• Increased our player limit from 100 to a massive 550! (You should never have to wait while it's full again!)

We hope you enjoy all of the changes we have put in place, and would like to remind you that our Summer Events Schedule will be released soon!

As always if you notice any errors with our changes please report them to an admin via PM as soon as possible! Bug abuse is against the rules!

If that account already exists, why don't you just confirm the email for it? Then you will have that account as a registered member?

Tomorrow (Tuesday) from around 7pm BST (What time is it in my timezone?) we will be taking both the site and main server down to perform some major connection updates. During this time our services for both the site and server will be offline.

The maintenance downtime will last around 2 hours (providing things go to plan, otherwise it may last longer; we will keep you informed if this does happen) starting from 7pm BST. The update involves preparing for our Summer events and improvements more information about the changes and events can be found here: http://www.noobscraft.com/server-announcements/summer-in-noobstown!/

To keep up-to-date with the downtime and all Noobscraft & Noobstown related news be sure to Follow Us on Twitter.

This actually does already happen every so often; the stats are recalculated completely and banned players are removed.

If there are any specific players that you know are banned and yet still listed feel free to PM me.

Yes that is what I meant but I cant seem to get the site I used before to update so I can have the new skin I had today as an avatar instead of my old Sackboy skin.

Can you not just use that picture or is that not what you wanted?

What do/did you need help with?

In my opinion there isn't enough demand for Nations to have their own board, however I have edited the Town board to allow Nation topics to be posted to be added to the town board. The towns board has been renamed to be "Towns & Nations".

While wikis are a really useful way to find out information about how to do certain things, we need to ensure that information given to our players is completely accurate and correct otherwise they are likely to become even more confused. This is why up to now I have avoided having/endorsing wikis because although I know you mean good, sometimes the information that players give on their community driven wikis can easily be incorrect/inaccurate in some way.

If there is enough demand for an actual wiki then a basic one could be added to the site however it would have to be strictly moderated or access to editing would have to be highly restricted. Currently this isn't feasible; but by all means continue with your community one .

We (the administration team) have had a large number of discussions relating to the addition of a "Trading" and other channels in the chat, however our chat system is currently much more complex than just the general and local channels; as you explained we have the world channels. This would mean that adding other layer of channels for people to talk in, it would all become very confusing for players, who will have to keep switching around in channels.

The main issue we had with it when discussed though was the idea that people would end up using the trade channel as their general talk channel just to get it to stand out in the main chat. Plus there are people who don't like to talk in the localised channels and switch back to global anyway.

Plus much of the trading area is "unmanned" meaning that shop owners tend not to actually need to be in their shop to sell items, by using the chest shop you can be anywhere in the world and still sell/buy items. Would these people then also be able to hear the trading channel in case anyone in the trading area needed help?

Your best bet is to just use the local channel when trading in the Trading District, it means that only those near you hear you, but is easy to switch back into the general channel if required.

Whilst I like your idea and it is a good suggestion, because of our current world channel system, and people not being disciplined enough to stay in the channel they are allocated to; it wouldn't be easy to implement/maintain.

You need to register with the exact same name in-game as on the site. You didn't include the underscores in your name?

If you say yes to it, then I can delete this account of yours thus allowing you to register with the correct name?
