Thank you to everyone for your overwhelming support during the last week of v5.0. The whole staff team had a blast and we hope you did too!
We are now going into the 'Preparation Stage' which we'll be putting everything together ready for the release. As mentioned before the release will most likely be a week or so from today, but we are going to keep you all updated. Thank you all yet again for your patience and understanding throughout this change over process and we cannot wait to see you all in v6.0.
Long live Noobstown!

Why!! This is the 2nd time that i found a server that looks interesting that this has happened. Got to explore the server for 1 day, then it closes!! Why meee :O
But I'm exited for v6 :D
-
Hey Foob, its been quite a while since V6 was announced and what features it will hold for us. As well there have been numerous posts with tidbits about v6.
Do you think it would be possible to summarize all the features of v6, rewards, tokens, etc in 1 post so that we dont have to go through the 5,6,7 plus posts.
Some information I have been looking for is how big of plot do we get as a default plot in the wilderness. I have been told its 16x16. I then asked how many free plots do we get since I thought it was only 1. Someone said no we now get 10 plots.
Just my 2cents
Thanks

+1
Those threads aren't even all in the same subforum and the search function doesn't really help due to all the V6 topics being created.
I.E. : I saw no ETA on V6 release before this one and didn't know there would be a delay between V5 and V6 at all.
-
stinks that haev to wait anpther week for v6 but oh well ill be paitent so exited 8)
-
Yeah, on the topic of information needing to be compiled so we can find anything...
Were SPECIFICS of what tokens buy ever released? I know some general things have been said, but I never saw any costs of anything besides Veteran status (which I would think if you can afford the 20k veteran status, you probably already earned it).
-
I don't think that the token info will be released until V6 comes out

Foob take a selfie pic! xD :3

c'monn can't wait any longer for the release date:O :P

i know that foob has a lot to do, but the date for release has been postponed by like 3 weeks now......
-
Im starting to have doubts about v6 coming this weekend he said he'd give us plenty of time to clear our schedules and since its almost friday and nothing....
-

Well they said a week or so.
They went with "or so".

not when u wait this long....

Good things come to those who wait :)
It's catching on! :D

Honestly, as much as I'd love to get V6 here ASAP, don't you think it'd be better to have a really long release duration, and have ALL of the bugs worked out properly, instead of a speedy, rushed release with TONS of in-game bugs?
I stand by my viewpoint that in any video game, the more time spent developing, the better the game will be in the eventual final release. Give it time, guys. Heck, if it means no Noobween celebration, I would prefer that more than having problems in the middle of it.

I can see where both sides are going but I'd rather it be here ASAP.
I say this because its been already a month since Foob promised it would come out, and more people= more bugs found
-
lol i hope v6 comes soon, and by soon i mean tommorrow. it will be the only time i have available. i am gonna be stuck helping with the homecoming dance at my school. i signed up to run the concession stand! wait what?LOLOL

People are so impatient some time, it makes me crazy. Great things are not made instantly, every great thing takes time and Patience.

everyone is born impatient, patience is not inherited, it is an infectious disease...
but other than that, yeah 3 weeks mane, most of us are losing our minds, im so bored i am trying to level fishing on mineapoc!! i mean seriously come on! do you know how bored i have to be to do that? CUZ I DON'T!!! lol
-
im not crazy bored or impatient...
-
im not crazy bored or impatient...
im both!...mainly impatient, mineapoc is actually pretty entertaining. im getting better at fishing. a lot better.
-
I'm getting anxious and miss playing minecraft but I'm not impatient like some people I've seen recently. I've said this all along and I continue to stand by it. The staff are working as hard as they possibly can and as fast as they can. Good things come to those who wait and when it finally is realized it will be better than ever. :)
-
is it me or am I the only one that doesn't seemed hyped up about v6 ?
-

yeah your the only one not hyped up about v6...HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND OLAH!?!?!

Yeah Yeah, i cant wait though
-

You know it's been 7 months basically, right? I think it's fair to say patience is running out.
And its also done by a small team of people, so might wanna keep that in mind as well, building the v6 with 2 people took long, even with world edit.
I know people are running out of patience, but nothing is gonna help they will just have to wait, the longer the wait the more rewarding something can become.
-
I can understand why people are getting impatient, I am myself in a way but I also have to think about and wish others would as well...that it's a small group of guys trying to get done a lot more than we probably realize. As I saw in the previous comments I would much rather them get everything situated to begin with then open the server and realize there are all these bugs...perfection and good quality products take time. When they're ready, satisfied and happy with their product they will give it to us and it will be better than ever. Is it a reason to give up on the server or try and find something else? Not at all. This server is the best server I've come across and I hope people don't give up on the server over something like this.

from my experience, you cant really fully test anything without public access. Hence why betas exist and even so, games are still buggy.
Even Minecraft is still working on and removing bugs and glitches, nothing will ever be perfect. The lack of communication though is what gets me upset, its been over a week since the plugins were announced being tested.
As far as the saying "good things come to those who wait" I point you to Duke Nukem Forever.

They also have a twitter page that they update a little more than the site, I'd say give that a try or following them personally on twitter.

It's not a case of irradiating all bugs before we release because like you say, it is impossible to test things without public access and we totally agree. We expect there to be bugs on the release, we expect to be fixing them all night long during the first night, which we are totally preparing for. However, what you might fail to understand is that we do this as a hobby, as much free time as I can possible dedicate goes to running the servers and that goes for Lawrence and Waterworth too.
'Plugin testing' meaning the first time we've officially tested the plugin since its development over the entire summer. We aren't simply looking for bugs, we are asking questions like 1. Does it function correctly? 2. Does it cause any severe issues to the server in terms of lag 3. Is it safe to use on release for public testing?
As you can see it is not simply just looking for small things, we do expect players to do that on the release.
The aim is to release the server when we are happy to, when we feel that what we have in place will work and be a fun experience for the new era of Noobstown. Ruining the release by rushing into things, will make the version forever bad.
We understand the frustration of waiting and we ourselves want to release the version as soon as humanly possible. We also appreciate everyone for being so supportive and sticking with Noobstown for this entire change-over process.
I hope you kinda understand our situation and know that it is being worked on and there isn't too much left in terms of core development testing. Thank you <3

Have you added any more items to the list of items we can buy with tokens, if so can you post that so theres something some of us have gotten excited about like then3verend said its been awhile since uve said anything else about v6, i can also figure out what ill want to buy when v6 is released.
-
Fatnoob, Could you tell us an estimated date of when it will be released? When it gets to the weekends i'm like hope it comes out etc etc, then it doesn't then i'm like ugh (if you get what i mean aha)

Yeah, I would like to see more updates on what will be in the token shop too, and more stuff about v6, so we will know what to buy and take a long deep think about what we will buy so that we don't waste them in in one shot:P
-
ik I was almost positive it was going to come out this weekend and when it didnt I was just like....wow....but im kinda happy cause i was gone this hole weekend :D
-
lol. my schedule has just been murdered this entire weekend. school is the enemy of minecraft

I don't see an estimated date happening. Say foob gives an estimated date and between that time that was given to the actual day, things could go wrong, people could have gotten their hopes up, the day comes and still no v6....I think it's best to wait for an official date instead of getting our hopes up on a day that MAY be when the server restarts.

I understand building a new server and testing all the new plugins that are to be implemented...
What I don't understand is shutting down the old server before all that was done and ready.

The reason we shut down earlier than actually being finished was due to the server changes and data transfers, unfortunately we cannot do that whilst everyone is online generating new data.

Just chill people. I can't count the number of times I heard people complaining they were bored while playing on Noobstown. Seriously, go do something else while you wait. Life is too short.
If you can't live without mp Minecraft, there are lots of towny servers out there to play on while you wait with all kinds of different flavors. I have found an excellent one (no cursing, et al). The moderation team is nice and I have met lots of new friends. I'm having a great time.
Remember, the owners do this for fun, are busy with their study's, and I'm sure have other real life stuff that keeps them occupied.

Guys, remember, "It is often near the very end of the suffering when man thinks he can take no more." I paraphrased that, some famous person said it. Thing is, you're gonna be all impatient and mad about it and then the hour after you curse Joe and find another server it will be released. And you won't find another server. At least, not a good one.
I've been waiting forever and all my impatience was used up in August, now I'm sort of desensitized to it. I've been cured of my Noobstown addiction.
I hope to rekindle this habit ASAP just like the rest of you, but you get my point. Hang in there. It has been forever, it MUST be coming soon at this point. And even if we have to wait until December, I know most of us will welcome it even more fondly than if it had been released in July or something.
Besides, would Foob have released the Noobween promo if he hadn't had reason to believe the server will be up in time for it?

T'would appear you have proved me wrong. And I didn't even think about that, if I had to do what the admin team is doing, i probably wouldn't have it out until 2015.

Despite the delay in V6, I am sure that it will be awesome and worth the wait. My daughters and I have played on other servers and while they seemed great at first, they soon showed instability with crashes that wiped out everything and the server had to be reset. Two different servers were knocked out by griefers using TNT requiring a reset. After that, I understood why TNT is not usable on Noobstown. Other servers have poor moderators more interested in abusing their status than maintaining a good environment. I had a mod take a full set of highly enchanted diamond armor out of my chest and claim it as his own. It was 5 days before my report was acknowledged. I left that server, bad mods and an unconcerned owner! I like the frame work of rules, mods and active owners that Noobstown offers, and I am willing to wait.
All that being said- I WANT MY NV6 (Noobstown V6)<--said like the old "I want my MTV" ads, when MTV played actual music videos.

wow. that stinks, power-abusing mods? NOT COOL! that prob why i might never be a mod...JK i would never abuse mod power! but with school i am too crazy for mod powers! lol

Yeah, that's one of the sad things: a lot of moderators anise their powers. That's also a great thing about Noobstown, we don't have tolerance for abusive staff.
I can say I've had a few bad experiences on other servers. I played on a faction server once and one of the people was a moderator and was promoted to admin in two weeks, but he was extremely abusive. There was a rule he broke saying admins can't be in a faction, but he was. He would hack and use glitches to kill people and take their stuff. He would force TP into your faction base and raid every last good item from your chests and you couldn't kill him cause he was in creative (again breaking rules). This is one of the many reasons why Noobscraft is my favorite server: it has a great community of members and staff alike.
-
You guys' must try to understand that, at least to my knowledge, they are making custom made plugins for this server which is chunky. That means that they are building a modification of there own, which can't be easy for such a small staff team. Along with every little detail to keeping the server running like stability testing, basic functionality, hiring a new moderation team, timing of when the veterans will get to start playing with advanced notice, planning for the release with constant forum q & a, communication with the other staff, and on top of everything else, their normal lives.
It should be here soon, and when it does get here, it will be one amazing version of Noobscraft. So just try to understand guys. See you Noobz on V6. :)

Guess you haven't heard, the release was delayed due to Minecraft 1.7. The new release date will be posted when it is decided on.
Lol awkward..... :)

They released a new bukkit dev build recently, has any staff seen it and if so are we looking towards a closer date soon.

i saw the bukkit announcement i might give it a go :-) and have you seen minecraft 1.7.3 is out next week
-
have you seen minecraft 1.7.3 is out next week
1.7.2 bukkit development builds just barely come out and now Minecraft updates to 1.7.3. LOL, too funny.
Max
-
have you seen minecraft 1.7.3 is out next week
Bukkit has said that 1.7.3 is most likely client-side fixes, so it shouldn't affect their progress.
-
It's not really a surprise that 1.7.3 is coming out now. It's a normal update (this time) with pretty standard timing.
Having a Bukkit version coming out while the next version of MC is behind the corner isn't that extraordinary either...
-

Seriously, I hope that Mojang realizes they owe the success of Mincraft to plug-ins and plug-in systems like Bukkit. Minecraft would get dull fast if it weren't for the wide variety plug-ins available for players and server owners to use.
-
Does staff have anything to say about it, I mean shouldn't they inform us, about the progress because of this milestone and its been a month

If anything they proved the opposite until now.
You are supposed to not look at the code, attempt reverse engineering and deobfuscation.
What you are supposed to do is use the API, texture packs, resource packs and console commands. Period.
When they added Dinnerbone to their ranks, given his background the community was expecting a change but that never happened... and we are waiting for a bukkit update every other month as a result.
-

First of all, the staff here is not affiliated with Bukkit or Mojang, so any information they can get, we can get on our own as well.
Keep your eyes peeled on the bukkit forums if you are really dying to know.
Personally, I would just say remain patient.

hopefully there might be. its been 2 weeks since the advent update and 1 month since the november update. there is an irony in that that only i can see. lolz

must mine in V6

Habemus Betam!
1.7.2. R0.1 is out and of course they are still doubting the stability of it all. Always better than a dev build :D
Now I'm becoming more and more puzzled by recent Mojang updates focusing on stuff that is not bugs, since there are still daunting horrors laying around >_>

Nearly a year on Noobstown... Half of it playing, half of it waiting for V6. NOW IT'S HERE! (Ok now imagine that with 1,000,000 extra exclamation marks) :D

Thanks Joe and all of your magical helpers, I've explored a few servers, and quit one that went bad (insert flushing sound here) it survives on mini games & wiped towny, one of the former members started a new server that is fun but has had huge BuGS, entire Towny world glitched all towns gone , my town was a boring square town on a flat landscape , I found in the new towny world an awesome mountain and valley where I'm building floaty plots and walkways, my house is on top of one of the mountains, also have an outpost island with some plots with beachfront, so the setback has been a bonus.
I also have a base on a huge factions server that is more towny than factions , the main spawn city is a replica of ancient Rome with lots of markets for shopping , and a huge wilderness with relentless mobs so traveling is hazardous at best , just getting wood from my tree farm can be deadly.
I'm patiently waiting for V6 ready to get started and re-meet some of the friend I've missed from V5, Hoppy the Ancient miner.
