For the building contest I have 2 questions:- 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?

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.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.. 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!

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 .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]noun1. experienced through long service or practice; having served for a long period.ad·dict[n. ad-ikt; v. uh-dikt] noun1.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?

Best of luck everybody, it will be exciting to get veteran on the new server.

I seriously hate the "Be active to earn Tokens" ... it just doesn't work for me, in any way.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..
