Saying Goodbye to the Web Inventory
« on: 3 Apr 2016, 00:04:57 »

For those of you who weren't aware Noobstown has for sometime had a Web Inventory feature allowing you to store unlimited amounts of items away from the server for collection at any point. This is an update regarding that feature.

When we launched Version 6 of Noobstown over 2 years ago now, we had plans to introduce a web marketplace for you to trade and buy items while not on the server, which is exactly what we did; the Web Auction. Since then we noticed that this plan wasn't working as we'd hoped so we scaled back this feature, moving to an in-game system (/auction) as it allows you to quickly and easily trade items between players without the need to keep checking the site. This change meant the need for the existing web inventories we had became reduced, we then moved to plans to introduce a form of web-based trading so you could give other players items without being on the server once again (something we never released publicly though), however since then we've introduced popular features such as /gift and /trade which have greatly reduced the need for this feature on the site.

It is therefore after a few years of this feature and its more recent lack of use, that I'm announcing the future closure and discontinuation of the Web Inventory. From early-mid July all items left in your Web Inventory will be deleted forever. We're giving you many months to collect things so don't worry too much though.



What is happening to my items?
There are currently 251,707 items awaiting collection in all of the Web Inventories together so be sure not to lose them and collect them from one of the many collection points on the server. Nothing has been lost yet so don't worry about that, everything has been moved to your collection inventory so all you need to do is visit a collection chest somewhere on the server and empty it! If you don't know where there is a collection point you can always use the one at /warp spawn.

All physical deposit points on the server have now been removed, anything deposited beyond this point will be lost though.



My town has a deposit/collection point, what do I have to do?
Those towns which had a collection/deposit point for the Auction and then Web Inventory will still do at this time, all deposit points have been disabled, however your collection points will still work. If you want these removing please just contact me and I'll do it for you now. After the Web Inventory closes completely in July these will all be removed and all chest locks removed anyway though.



How do I check what is in my Web Inventory?
You can view the contents of your Web Inventory at Noobscraft.com/inventory, or from any of the Collection chests around the server. All items which were previously in the Ingoing inventory have been moved ready for immediate collection!



If you have any questions about this change please feel free to ask them, I just want to remind everyone again, nothing has been lost yet you'll still be able to collect things until July.

Knowing I had items in there, the page shows it's empty. oh well :) It's been too long to even remember what it was again.
