Based on some of the feedback I've received I have now adjusted a few things further. Let me know how you feel about it.

---

This is an intended change to encourage levelling of a variety of skills. In a particular time frame you are now limited in how much XP you can earn per skill. Think of it as a timeout once you've just done a lot of levelling. The time frame is pretty short so you should be able to switch do doing something else for a short period and then go back to the skill you were levelling up before. As with all of these changes I'm open to feedback about this; the intention is that should be unlikely to hit these limits if doing a normal amount of levelling each skill. I'll see how others feel about it, or if they're even hitting the limits.

Okay, I get that, thanks for explaining.. I think I understand how this works. Shouldn't be too hard for to figure out this change and get to 25k this weekend.

After announcing a couple, with screenshots, we announced a couple without .. and then quietly installed the last few.

All but one was found. We restocked two of them. Others found those. It seems TheZestyLemon was quickest to this game, and Tomb_Vine finally did manage to find a pop-up shop with some help.

It's thursday evening now, far beyond Tuesday, the shops are out of stock, and slowly expired. They will be removed soon.

Thanks everybody and enjoy those cheap diamonds!

Wait.. let me know, should town x do these pop-up shops more often?

Since people were asking on and off this site to let them know when I go live; I am live!

[edit] That was fun, quite a few hours of gameplay. But I have to go do offline stuff! Back later in the game or maybe tomorrow.

To my knowledge you didn't make a post about each live stream. So could you for any new ones you make put them here so people could get to them easier. (Like I'm not online all the time)

I announce the live streams for events, not so much every time i turn on the camera
There are posts where i reply with the link to the stream, sometimes i also dump it on twitter, facebook, instagram, msgs to ppl, say it when they join, etc.. i just try to not be 'spammy'.

Update:

The Mojang servers are back it seems, more and more people can login again. Including the Merchant, and a second popup shop has been installed by the looks of it. Can you find it?



It's still on one of the 1000+ plots owned by the town.

I'm having trouble connecting, or I'd be in for the treasure hunt!

It's a Mojang thing it seems happy hunting !

The second popup shop should arrive soon!

It's Tuesday!
I am up!
And the server cycled through it's daily restart!

We are a go!

I have seen the ships arrive and the merchants walking around with their wheelbarrows and backpacks filled with their diamonds collected from the deep undergrounds of the recently generated mining world. Where will they build their pop-up shops? Go explore town x, and you might just find one and get lucky to find one of the cheapest diamonds on the server you can buy.

Again, there will be six pop-up shops around townx (related) areas and there are only 16 per pop-up shop. Each shop is numbered and will show up and disappear throughout the day. We are NOT advertising this in the game, this is a +1 benefit for those who were on the youtube live-stream last night and heard about this first. And for the active players who keep current and keep an eye on the forums. If a shop is out of stock: someone beat you to it.

I *will* announce in this thread when a merchant has been spotted. So if you reply to this thread you will get a notification when a new shop is up. Maybe an extra fast way to get there first.

Well, another day another stream with friends.

We're ready to play some #minecraft on @Noobstown / #livestreaming it on @youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi26kWpUQN0 - starting soon? See you there?

[edit] This event is now over.

The town x pop-up shops will be arriving on May 22nd (Tuesday) at various locations.

But be fast, because they are only 500 noobz PER diamond, and the location is super unknown. You might have to go search for it.

If you find a shop, and it is in stock, aren't you lucky? If it's out of stock: Then someone beat you to it.

This is a little reward for those who browse the forums and staying current, and who actually play

How does the pop-up shop look like? I do not know. But there will be a sign next to it "pop-up shop"

There are 16 diamonds PER pop-up shop, and a handful of shops.

How well do you know town x?

planet minecraft in aug 2012, it was in the top25 server list.

There's a new stream, it's double exp weekend, and we are doing acrobatics
If you have missed it ingame, it's still up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94VDL7Df1RQ
Feel free to join us for acro grind and otherwise maybe say hello on the stream

Hey everybody, if you are online Saturday evening we can get together and grind some acrobatics and excavation and maybe fishing again, or whatever people are doing. If we acro I might be able to drop a few items as we drop from level to level. Who knows!

Time to grind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96fltEgbDqU

Aw yeah! Updates to mcMMO Fantastic. Glad to hear Alchemy is back in play again.
Thank you for these updates! It's good to see the suggestions and feedback are reviewed internally and that once in a while we get these updates to help better the server. Two thumbs up.
