I am not sure if I like the whole "be active to earn veteran" thing, I really don't have very much time atm to be on the server, as I got a job, a music channel so I need to edit the videos, which can take almost 2 hours, and while does are uploading/rendering I can't be on the server anyways, as I lag to much.
I feel more like does that are on the top lists in every single level area, money, owners of "good" towns etc should get this little starting buff, as does are the once that has worked the hardest getting to where they are, but that is just an idea, being active shouldn't risk you not getting anything, even tho you have spent countless hours on the server from before :/
That is all I wanted to say.

As said in the post there will be more ways to earn Tokens and probably Vetership, that's just the straight forward method.
I'm pretty much dreading this.. I really don't like the thought of losing the Veteran title :/.
There's a big chance that I will lose it though, 80%. I hardly play and there's other people who are on 24/7. It's selfish for me to say, but Veteran was used to thank the people who donated before this version, I assumed it was because the donation benefits back then it was a lifetime of VIP so I assumed the Veteran title was there to carry on that benefit.I'm pretty much dreading this.. I really don't like the thought of losing the Veteran title :/.
You probably wont lose it :p
maybe you could offer people currently on the server a % of there money for the restart something like 10-20% that way people still have a reason to earn money up till the restart.Think of the people who would have been here for months and then look at the people who have played for a couple of weeks, a reset usually allows everyone to catch-up, but giving people a head start at that level wouldn't be fair. 10% of 20k is a big big difference to the players who have triple-digit thousands.

For the building contest I have 2 questions:I could be wrong, but I think it is all of V5
- When is the contests??
- Are we gonna be in creative mode for it?
For the veteran rank thing:
Is the top 100 of all time gonna receive it? or the top 100 until the world gets reset?
This isn't how it works. I was talking to Foob about it and he was telling me that the new Veteran system will replace the old, meaning I'd become a normal member again if I didn't play to earn the title :/.There's a big chance that I will lose it though, 80%.

No, No, No... what I mean with "you probably wont lose it" is that cause you have Veteran now, the new form of Veteran will be a different kind of Veteran, so does that are Veteran now, will still be Veteran in V6, but they will have a different form of Veteran, then the once that earn Veteran now, not to long before the restart.. :3
God, I don't think I said "Veteran" in one massive sentence so many times in my whole life.
VETERAN! VETERAN! VETERAN! And we can't forget... VETERAN!

Joe, can you confirm, or better deny this statement ?
I am so proud of my veteran title, I would hate to lose it.
When we were given the Veteran title I assumed it was because we had shown trust in the noobscraft team by donating when they needed it most, at startup.
I guess I could even be ok with veterans being stripped of their VIP powers, since other VIPS have to pay on a regular base for it,
but please let us players of the early hours keep the exclusive Veteran title.
Based on a dictionary lookup I suggest a different title for people who put in many hours.
(The dictionary shows very clear how different both titles are, by the way)
vet·er·an
[vet-er-uhn, ve-truhn]
noun
1. experienced through long service or practice; having served for a long period.
ad·dict
[n. ad-ikt; v. uh-dikt]
noun
1.a person who is addicted to an activity, habit, or substance.
If addict has to much of a negative load, I suggest : noobaholic.
Hang on, we did not pay for the Veteran title, it was a gift !
I have always understood it was given to us because we believed enough in the future of this server to donate way back.
No way I would ever claim to have the right to the title veteran, its up to the noobscraft team to give the title to players.
When we originally set up the Veteran rank it was not to reward our long term players it was as a way to ensure that those members who Donated to us before we updated the donation system received a fair reward for what they were originally told they would receive. This happened to match the beginning of V5 as this was when we introduced the automated donations and Points system.
The term "Veteran" was probably not the best term we could have selected, as it seems to be causing some confusion these days. Taking a definition of the term isn't an explanation of how we have used the word. But back when it was introduced (and still) it has nothing to do with how long you have played. Not to say this may or may not change in the future.
Being a Veteran isn't even the top level any more since our latest VIP upgrade Veterans are actually able to upgrade their account to include new VIP features such as the warps, chest/workbench access, increased McMMO, etc.
Regarding Old Veterans,
All old veterans will be moved to the new rank, we are just giving 100+ people the chance to join the rank in v6.

So everything that we've had for such great periods of time will be gone? Houses, items, towns that people have raised loads of money for, etc.? Tokens sound great but i do hope that V6 will be just as good if not better than V5.
So, is there any way to tell if you are in the top 100? Cause I think I might be but I probably am not. I mean, i've been playing on here since early V2, and I have tons of in game time, i mean, I'm no mrfloris but I think I play a heck of a lot on this server, especially since i quit school. So, just wondering, can we have the list of people who might be in the top 100?
That's good to know, I suggest to consider lowering the idle kick time to 15 minutes for the last few months, preventing people from being afk pretending to be active. Best of luck everybody, it will be exciting to get veteran on the new server.So, is there any way to tell if you are in the top 100? Cause I think I might be but I probably am not.

Yes, the page will be released later tonight.

I seriously hate the "Be active to earn Tokens" ... it just doesn't work for me, in any way.What miner said about cheating the afk kick is true you could make an afk fountain so you couldn't get kicked
If the top 10 most active on the server is gone get a bunch of buff's at the start of the V6, I just lost all faith in the new version, and I will tell simply my opinion on the whole "Be active to earn yourself stuff" idea...
1: People got stuff to do outside of Minecraft, and people also are less wanting to play now cause they know it will pointless, as all their stuff will be gone anyways.
2: By giving a buff to the top 10 active players, once V6 starts, is like giving a million to someone who is already a millionaire, cause they are a lot on the server, they got more time using their V6 starting buff, which makes them get far ahead of everyone else, as they got the buff, and they are also more active, you see what I mean?
3: People can easily AFK their way to the top, it is ways to cheat the "AFK kick system" I am sure, and many probably know how to.
That is really all my points, being given lots of tokens cause you are on the server a lot, cause you don't have anything important to attend to, like school, work etc.. is it really no other way to make this system work in a more fair way..?
I seriously hope so.. :/

I guess I just got to go with it, I can't exactly change it :3
It is not the Token Program itself, I like everything else about it then the whole be active thing.
Look, I think miner is right, some of us just can't compete with people like mrfloris or people like him, I for example have given up on ever being a veteran, because i know i have no chance to beat out the people who are on here literally 10 hours a day. Ive been here since V2 and Ive donated a respectable amount of money, but forget it, i give up. Playing IS pointless, I have my 7200 tokens, and until V6 you won't be seeing much of me.

Again, you guys aren't understanding. This is the STRAIGHT forward method of earning tokens, it's not the only way if you can't do this method then join in with the other stuff such as the events and competitions. Just because you cannot be online as much as the others shouldn't hold you back from earning just as much tokens as those people.
I already understood the Token concept, and that it is different methods of earning it, But I am still not a fan of exactly THAT form of earning it.. I would more like it to be straight up Mcmmo only, and off course events as Foob and Lawrence already said, that way does that got less time, are informed when to come on for the events, and mcmmo is something you train by literally playing the game.. so it kinda work in the favor of all, not just a set group of people that like to play a lot.Look, I think miner is right, some of us just can't compete with people like mrfloris or people like him, I for example have given up on ever being a veteran, because i know i have no chance to beat out the people who are on here literally 10 hours a day.

I am not sure if I like the whole "be active to earn veteran" thing, I really don't have very much time atm to be on the server, as I got a job, a music channel so I need to edit the videos, which can take almost 2 hours, and while does are uploading/rendering I can't be on the server anyways, as I lag to much.

I agree, and upset that some who just start can get veteran just being active just a couple of days. There are people who work hard to build up money and stuff but have other responsibilities and they wont get rewarded.. just another kick in the teeth...
You should look a the history of the server and see who put the most into to it and who made towns and help the communities..
...You say that we will be rewarding players who may have been active for just a couple of days; but remember that this system is going to be in place right up until we release V6. I'm going to bore people with some statistical information now to hopefully back up my point; so if you don't find it intresting skip this paragraph :P. If we look at the person who is at the very bottom of the list and focus on just their time online I can tell you that at this point in time they have spent just under 3.5 hours on Noobstown since we released the system 3-ish days ago. If we then assume that this system will be in place for as an example 60 days we can calculate that if they follow the trend then they would have spent an average of 70 entire hours in-game just to be in position 100; nearly 3 solid days constantly online. If we then take an average user from the list a player who is still higher than the overall average of activity for all players position 50; they have spent just over 7 hours online since we released the system; if that is then spread between the 3-ish days we can see that each day they would on average spent around 2.4 hours online. If we then look at this from the prospective of a new player; even if they matched the the average time spent online it would take them almost a month (29.2 days) to catch up to being even just position 100.

I can understand your concern but this system has been introduced to give a fair way for players to get a helping hand at the beginning of V6 for their current actions in V5.9.
I have a question, what will being a veteran be like? Will it be similar to veterans now or will it be something different? And if its not like veterans now what would happen to my vip? Just wondering :PI think it's just a title and permanent name change
I thought I saw that the top 10 players for each skill (mctop mining, woodcutting, ect.) would get veteran. Has this idea been scratched?

No, once v5 ends all those people in the top 10's will be Veteran.
Plus once V6 is released we will reward the 100 most active players (between the announcement and the release) with special abilities for the first few weeks!
Activity? :o
We are rewarding the 10 most active players of each week up until the release of v6. The total most active 100 players will be eligible for the new reformed v5 Veteran rank. The rank will have its own unique dedication kit upon wearing this kit you'll get some sweet buffs! *Speed and Haste* we are also giving those in this rank a full month of double xp on the release of v6. Staying active and dedicated to our community is something we will cherish and appreciate. So, we will also be giving those who stick around chances to part-take in BETA testing of our new events world in V6.
How does the veteran thing work for veterans atm Joe?
and how will things work whit the points people bought?
command settings and that kind of stuff?

(missed you and everyone else <3)
Sorry for the stupid question, but when V6 come out ?Second that!

Hey, I came back here after a long time and I've read about the V6 so... will I receive V6 tokens based on my skill levels?1 Power level= 2 tokens And Noobz get reset also.
I have quite a bit of those and my profile page states the amount of token they're equal to.
I also still have a million noobs but I'm fine with the reset.
I probably won't be able to invest a lot of time right now so having a jumpstart is going to be the dealbreaker for me given the time I already spent here :/
Btw, I'm happy to see that my old home is now Dragonfire's Staff farm (and basically it was left untouched except for decorations) :P
1 Power level= 2 tokens And Noobz get reset also.
We're working on it right now, there are tens of thousands of players and Tokens to move over and it's taking time; which is why some people have had their skill tokens already added and others haven't.
Once it's all complete I'll repost and hopefully then values you are supposed to have will be correct.
