Site Announcements / Noobscraft.com Scheduled Downtime« on: 5 Oct 2012, 01:38:41 »
On the 19th of October 2012 from 1am until around 5am BST (Check your timezone), noobscraft.com will be brought down completely for major web-host updates. All features which use the noobscraft.com site will be completely unavailable during this downtime.
Features which will be unavailable during this downtime include:
This downtime is important as part of a major change which our web-host is making with their data-centres. During the downtime their teams will be moving our site servers from their old data-centre to a brand new state-of-the-art one; this should improve site loading times and improve reliability. If you have any queries about this downtime please feel free to post them below. 334
Site Announcements / Avatar Announcement« on: 29 Aug 2012, 01:32:06 »We're changing how site avatars will work! As part of a progression with the site that you are likely to see later this year, we have decided that it is a good time to initiate a change to your site avatars. The changeover will progress as follows (providing we experience no issues):
This timetable of transition will allow anyone who needs to, to get their avatar from our server before it is deleted. If you are wondering what we are replacing avatars with; look at what has been my avatar for a few weeks now, every user will receive their own Minecraft skin face as their site avatar automatically; you won't have to do anything (providing we have a suitable skin on our records). This change should be a good improvement for the site, it should make reading posts and seeing who has made a certain post much clearer for everyone. As normal if you have any questions please reply to this topic. During the transition period you may experience some momentary changes to the site, these should be fixed soon after they occur. If you notice any serious issues please contact me. 336
Server Announcements / 1.3 Announcement« on: 31 Jul 2012, 01:03:28 »
UPDATE: We have now updated the server to 1.3.
As most of you will be aware the 1.3 version of Minecraft is supposed to be publicly released tomorrow. As a server we will take time to update to this version of Minecraft. This is because we have to wait for our server software and plugins to be updated, before we can go live using 1.3. As a result of this delay in converting to 1.3 we recommend that ANY player wanting to continue playing our server after the update has been made live, declines any update requests by clicking "Not yet!" until we have announced our server has also been updated. If you want to play the server you will need to continue using 1.2.5. (Until we announce that we have also updated.) We will try to keep downtime during the changeover period to a minimum however it is likely that some will occur. For more information regarding the updates check Mojang.com. 337

Site Announcements / Voting just got easier!« on: 26 May 2012, 19:07:45 »Earlier today we implemented a really simple but quick way for you to vote for us on Planet Minecraft. Every 24 hours a quick vote box will appear at the top of the site prompting you to vote, all you then have to do is enter the correct security code and your Minecraft username, click "Cast Vote" and wait, we'll handle the rest. If you entered the correct information we'll give you 500 FREE Noobz for doing so, it takes just a few seconds! (You can get 500 more every 24 hours!) We will be monitoring the use of this new feature over the next few days to ensure that it provides the best improved experience for Noobscraft and Noobstown community! 346
Server Announcements / Open - Maintenance Complete« on: 20 May 2012, 22:08:55 »We are sorry, but as part of this we have put the server into "maintenance mode" (Offline). We will be back as soon as we have sorted some of the issues out. Again we are sorry for any problems this may have caused, we will be back soon! Open. The money error will also be fixed, and you won't be put back to 50 Nbz again. Again apologies for the inconvience, but we can assure you that it will be a better experience for you now on Noobstown. -Edit by Waterworth 347
Server Announcements / Security Update« on: 24 Apr 2012, 20:40:44 »

Server Announcements / Latest Update« on: 9 Apr 2012, 03:38:42 »
We recently updated the server. A few changes were made.
Spawner Changing Using spawning eggs you can now change artificial spawners to different animals. All friendly mobs can now come from spawners if you change them. All you have to do is left click on your spawner with a friendly mob egg and it will use the egg to convert the spawner to that type of animal. (If you want the little entity in the spawner cage to update straight away you will need to leave the area or reload though.) You will need to claim any spawners of yours by clicking on them with a mob egg (if you use the same egg as the spawner it will lock it without using up the egg), this will lock it so that only you can then change what animal the spawner spawns. You can keep changing the spawners to any of the animals as much as you want, but it does use up spawner eggs. Spawn eggs are available from the Points shop and from events! The following animals can be set:

Site Announcements / Game Statistics!« on: 5 Apr 2012, 18:03:13 »
Some of you recently noticed that the site had a larger more in-depth statistics about things site related. (http://www.noobscraft.com/stats/). People commented on how interesting these stats were, so I decided to make a page listing some of the in-game stats.
Simply visit: http://www.noobscraft.com/gamestats/ for a large number of stats on the server, including leaderboards for the in-game skills! Enjoy! |
