Site Announcements / 5,000 Members!
« on: 21 Mar 2012, 16:21:38 »
Earlier today we reached the next thousand milestone; 5,000 members! This is a massive milestone for us, and we would like to say thank-you!
As our gift for reaching this milestone we are giving another FREE diamond (worth 200 Points in our Points shop!) to every user who requests one!

To claim this free diamond all you have to do is go onto the server and make a space free in your inventory to receive it. Once you have done both of these, click the image below and as if like magic the diamond should be given to you!


We would like to thank everyone, who has visited or used our services over the past year! And I hope that we can continue to improve and grow even further!

Look out for some major site updates in the future...

Site Announcements / Membership Registration Update
« on: 11 Mar 2012, 16:45:39 »

All newly registered accounts from this moment on, will not need to "Apply for Server Membership" we have removed this form and have made it much easier for our new members to become server members :).

All you simply have to do now is: register with your Minecraft username on the site, and activate your email. This will then make you a member on the server automatically!

This all comes as part of our update to connect forum accounts directly to Minecraft accounts :).

As always if you have any questions please just ask them below!



If you already have an account on here, but it isn't connected to an in-game account and you want to add this connection you will still need to fill out the form ;).



I hope this allows us to move forward even more and that it makes becoming a member even easier! :D

Server Announcements / Announcement Regarding Minecraft 1.2
« on: 1 Mar 2012, 16:45:38 »
As you may already know, Minecraft 1.2 was released today (http://www.mojang.com/2012/03/minecraft-1-2-is-out/).

As per normal we recommend that if you want to continue playing Noobstown while we wait for the stable release of Bukkit, you decline the update; or backup the 1.1 version so that you can go back to it for the server!

We will be converting to the latest version of Bukkit which is suitable for 1.2 as soon as we can do. Do not update until this point! (We will post once we have updated the server!)

Site Announcements / New Points Payment Methods!
« on: 18 Feb 2012, 17:25:18 »
As we said we would a few months ago...we have finally added some new payment methods.



Using Paymentwall we now offer almost 50 new payment solutions! (Limited depending on where you live around the world!).

These new solutions include payment via:
  • Mobile phone (SMS)
  • Homephone landlines!
  • eWallets
  • Direct bank transfer
  • Prepaid cards
Be sure to check out our new payment solutions using the Paymentwall system! Clicking on each payment method and selecting "Buy" will give you access to the specific company websites and from there you can find out exactly what each method involves!

You can purchase using these methods simply by visiting our new "Donation" page.

As we are having to use a third party company inorder to get these new payment methods; we have transferred certain fees into our prices, because of this we still recommend that you use PayPal for the best value!

I hope you enjoy this, I know many  of you have been waiting for mobile payments! But be sure to post below if you have any concerns or questions regarding this!

Enjoy,

Site Announcements / Important: Username Changes
« on: 21 Jan 2012, 00:55:12 »
Over the next few days (beginning today) we will be updating ALL site usernames which do not match their connected IGN.

We will be converting all site usernames to match the Minecraft username attached to that account  (IGN). This is to make our membership application system much simpler and also removes any confusion people may have regarding site accounts and Minecraft connections. We will then begin to phase out the use of IGNs and use only the site usernames. It makes it all much simpler to understand.

All of those who are effected by this change will receive an email about your username change as we go through our list; it will mean that you will need to update your account password. (you can keep it the same, just the system needs to update it's encryption of your password with the new username)

Once the change has taken place to you, you will then need to login to this site using the new username (which was previously your IGN).

If you believe that you have NOT set a valid, accessible email to your account you MUST set a valid one as soon as possible as you will be unable to login once this change happens as your username and password may both become invalid and the new, valid information will not reach you.

Some questions you may have:
  • Will I still keep my VIP/Veteran status?
    Yes, these are currently both connected to your IGN and not your username and so will not be affected.
  • What username should I login with?
    Until you receive an email about your changed username you should continue to login using the username you currently have. Once you have received the email and you have changed your password you should use your new username, which should be your current IGN.
  • Will everyone be affected?
    No. A large number of users will not have to have their username changed. Any who do will receive an email with their changed information over the next few weeks.
  • Do I need to do anything about changing my username?
    Other than responding to the actions requested on the email; no. You could however post your username and IGN name below, if they do not match, as it will allow me to prioritise the more active accounts.
  • My username and IGN already match what do I do?
    Nothing, just sit back and play on Noobstown.com
  • When will these changes take place?
    Whilst I cannot be certain of the exact date that this will all be finished, the changeover shouldn't take more than a few weeks.

If you have any other questions please do feel free to post them below, I will be sure to answer all ones I can.

Today we reached 2,000 forum members! It was just a little more than a month ago that I was saying congratulations on reaching 1,000 (http://www.noobscraft.com/site-announcements/1000-members!/).

To say thanks to you all again every member of the site (who registered before now) has received 20 FREE Points, these can be saved or used as part of any Points you may have purchased.

Thanks, and well done...as I ended in the 1,000 members post:

Server Announcements / Minecraft 1.1
« on: 12 Jan 2012, 18:05:54 »

As you will probably already know the latest version of Minecraft has been released; 1.1.

We will be updating to this version eventually, but as always we need to wait for Bukkit to update their stable release and to update any plugins which may need updating.

Until we announce our changeover to 1.1 we suggest that you do not update your Minecraft clients.

363
Site Announcements / Social Networks
« on: 8 Jan 2012, 17:47:55 »
We have now added the option to share all topics on the most widely know social networking sites.

In the top right of all topics (next to the topic title in the posts view) there are the social networking buttons.

The buttons include quick access to the Facebook like option and the Tweet button, but if you click the share button there is also access to a huge list of sharing options!

I would like to thank everyone who shares any topics we have and hope you will all do so!

Server Announcements / Minecraft Accounts
« on: 6 Jan 2012, 21:31:31 »
In light of recent events regarding Minecraft accounts I am putting out this notice and warning:

While playing on the Noobstown server; Minecraft accounts are to be used by you (the owner) and you only. Giving accounts to other users for whatever reason is not permitted, using other people's accounts is therefore not allowed also.

We will ban any account that we have reason to believe that it may be in use by any user other than the original owner.

Also if your account is banned in-game for whatever reason and you are not the one who has used the account to perform the banning action; due to fault of your own, the ban may stand. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Minecraft account details; this is not an issue we will deal with.



I would like to also remind everyone that giving anyone your passwords is a very unwise idea; no matter how much you may trust them, you cannot control what they may do on your account.



Issues with "stolen" accounts should be dealt with through Minecraft.net and with Mojang, not us.

« on: 31 Dec 2011, 18:37:14 »

2011 has been a great year for Noobscraft with many large and eventful things happening! But as we look forward to 2012, we will be improving even more as time goes on!

So finally to finish I would like to wish everyone reading this; a Happy New Year and I hope you enjoy taking part in any celebrations you may take part in! Have a good last few hours of 2011 (if you still have some left ;)).

Happy New Year
from the Noobscraft team!

Site Announcements / 1000 Members!
« on: 3 Dec 2011, 13:21:54 »
We have reached over 1,000 site members! Since May and the new site system the member count has been slowly increasing, but recently in the last few days it has shot right up.

A few moments ago we reached 1,000 active users at once. We have already passed the user ID 1,000 but finally reached having 1,000 users in the count!

The user "coolio" was our thousandth member and so will be rewarded with 200 free Points!
But as for everyone else who registered before "coolio" and so are in our first thousand users, you will all receive 10 FREE Points to spend in our online Points shop.

Enjoy the free Points, and thank-you for making the Noobscraft community! I hope it continues to expand and I can be announcing the next big milestone soon! Thanks,

- ItsLawrence

PS. Here is a completely pointless graph of our average member count each month since May:

Site Announcements / We're Back!
« on: 26 Nov 2011, 23:06:39 »
The site is back online...finally

I am really sorry for the recent site downtime.

What happened?
A major issue with our site system was found. Our host, as a security measure disabled the features, which then meant large areas around the site didn't work; it was best to be put under maintenance.

We will look into the issues that occured, and I will be taking action and adjusting things, to ensure this is unlikely to happen again.

Again, sorry for any problems the downtime may have caused, but the site is now fully back online.

Site Announcements / Navigation Update
« on: 7 Nov 2011, 20:44:47 »
The links in the main site menu have been updated in preparation of the V5 update to Noobscraft.

As part of the changes:
  • 'Donate' now links to the new donation page (which hasn't been released yet, so you just see the old one)
  • 'Shop' has been added in preparation of the new V5 Points System (the shop itself hasn't been released yet, so you just see the donation topic)
  • 'Unread' has been now added to the main menu
  • 'Guides' has been removed as it was noticed this wasn't used much[/i]
  • 'Community' has been re-added
  • 'Live Map' has been moved to under 'Community'
  • The 'Member List' has been renamed to 'Members'
  • 'Members' has been moved to under 'Community'

It is very likely that over the next few days you will see a few more updates to the site as I prepare for the release sometime later this month.

Site Announcements / IGN Announcement
« on: 25 Oct 2011, 00:27:02 »
As I explained in a post sometime ago this day was going to come...

From the 30th of October 2011 our system will be being updated as part of the update to the V5 site system. Due to this system update: from late on the 29th of October you will be unable to manually edit your Minecraft IGN on the site, whatever Minecraft username you set from 10pm BST on the 29th will be attached to your forum account permanently.

I therefore am informing you all to ensure that you have got the correct Minecraft account, with correct spelling attached (no spaces either side, etc.) to your site account. It is up to you to check, once the system converts you will not be able to change this name.

I cannot stress enough how important it is that you have your valid Minecraft username as your IGN. The whole V5 experience for you will not work otherwise.

How to set your IGN on the forum
Profile > Modify Profile > Forum Profile > IGN (Simply enter your in-game username in the box next to that) > Save

If you have any queries/questions feel free to reply to this post.
