Release Review & News

Looking to be whitelisted onto the server? -> http://www.noobscraft.com/server-announcements/open-beta!/


Hey all,

I hope everyone is doing well and have enjoyed the release so far, we've been super busy answering questions, fixing bugs and making small tweaks here and there.. we feel like the release was a massive success with very little downtime overall (compared to previous version releases). Just so you guys understand we are still in BETA and still tweaking/changing things, we are aware of some skills being completely out of whack and others that need a slight touch up. We're slowly changing things each day and trying them out, gaining feedback and making further changes.

Here is a small plan of some changes to come this week, which didn't quite make it into the initial release:

- Shops and Villager trading around the town, currently the dock/shop area is completely empty of Villagers but we plan to populate those areas this week! Villagers will only accept the trading currency gems, so make sure you stock up! /gem
- VIP Acrobatics training/Shop, as VIP have been asking/requesting those will be updated next week also!
- Coupons throughout the entire week I will be working on sending out ALL of the coupons to the respective players and ensuring all players are able to redeem them without issue, I'll be around helping and answering PMs if you have any issues regarding those.
- Guest area and tutorial will be shaped up and ready for launch, to give those new players a good understanding of how Noobstown runs!
- Game statistics, game statistics will be returning at some point next week! ~ Wonder who has made it to the leader boards thus far!
- Further additions to the Donation store
- We'll be trialing some more of our spawn games, such as horse racing, spleef and pvp related fun!
- Ironing out bugs with the Chunky system
- Preparing for Town creations and helping support mayors in anyway we can!
- Kick starting the Theater booking system!
- Auction statistics (Might not be next week, but coming soon)
- Auction tweaks (Messages when you have sold items/how much you earn etc!)
- Probably missed more.. but expect more fixes and general maintenance!

Next weekend will also be Valentines, we don't plan to completely transform spawn this time due to the whole release but you can expect some Valentines related events and fun! ~ We've got some exciting plans!

I would just like to personally thank you all for your dedication to the server, we were a little overwhelmed on Friday night.. so much support and love for this little thing we call 'Noobstown' but alas, the server has re-opened and is back on its way up to 24/7 up time! We hope you are all settling in and enjoying yourself, we've worked so hard on everything, and just can't express how happy we are to see players finally getting to grips with all the new features!

We've also discussed possibly lowering the time before we allow guests online due to how smooth the release has been so far, so we might be opening to the public a day or two early :)

Anyway, before this turns into a complete waffling post.. I hope you continue to enjoy the server, I will be around trying to catch up with you all and checking your progress!

See you in the server (I can actually say that now.. win!)

Noobscraft,

It's pretty awesome to be finally part of the server. My friend introduced me to it right at the end of v5, so being here for the beta has been phenomenal.

Thanks for distracting me from my midterms. You all rock.

I'm a little disappointed that villagers don't accept emeralds like default, but I can see why it was replaced, especially with the emerald islands in the wild. Due to the emerald island where I claimed, I have more than half of a double chest full of emerald stacks, plus about 5 stacks of ore. Other players have gotten lucky as well, so there's already a massive amount of emeralds in the economy of the game.

My issue is that these are pretty much going to go to waste. Emeralds have no use outside of villager trading and emerald blocks for decoration, but since villager trading isn't an option, that leaves one very niche use with decoration.

Well... I could always make a giant house out of emeralds. xD

Ill gladly take some of does Emeralds if you don't have any use for them, were thinking about making a cool design using Emeralds :)

Also I noticed my chatline landed in the Screenshot #Proud

 <3 I've been having so much fun now that Noobscraft is back online xD I've been meeting some new friends and building atop Mt. Eureka... which, by the way, is still not completely explored. It's so big and every time I venture away from home I find something new and amazing xD I just hope the building limit gets raised a few blocks <3

I actually like when the server goes down for like 30 min because I know they are making Noobstown better by fixing or adding things to the server. It sounds weird but i actually do like it haha.
btw, im in the chat saying "hey edix" in the picture :D bet youll look now ;)

deebles is saying my name in that picture... I feel so popular to have my name on Noobstown front page :) :3

I can say that although I have been disappointed at a few things, the game overall is amazing. I can understand that there will be many bugs in the first week and will continue to faithfully play on the server and help uncover bugs. Until then... I'm going to continue building my house in a volcano :)

Btw Bexn, I may like to take some of those emeralds :)

Same i been having alot of fun on that mountain too just wish i can build higher because the maintain top where my plots are, is at max block height so i cant build up at all just down so i got to digg DOWN an area of 9 chunks. Also maybe more items to sell on the /shop instead of the couple of items u can sell. Other then that i am having sooo much fun :3         Hi Animeloverkyokyo
