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.

I understand that, the whole concept of the token program is to keep people busy on the server whilst we work on v6 - This means activity. Doesn't mean sit online and get rewarded the activity will be based on a range of things. You might not be as active as others but that doesn't make you any different, you'll still be able to join in and earn tokens.

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.

What events will there be and when? Also, how will we know how much tokens other people have so we can aim for a certain amount?

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.

No, this has nothing to do with Veteran, cause I am pretty sure I already got that rank, but, I didn't earn that rank by being on the server A LOT, but using the time I had when I was online, something to think about right there c:

Code: [Select]
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.
So I will probably stop there, cause it has already been cleared up how this token system will work, so to continue discussing it is kinda pointless  :3 but I would like a opinion on my last "coded" area.

Dmone,

The top 100 list is the only published method thus far of earning veteran, however as i have previously said above there will be plenty of other opportunity for you to earn this rank and tokens too. As we wanted to get this system out we have made the goals straight forward, to be active. I totally understand there are others out there that are dedicated people, they may have jobs, school and whatever else which will stop them getting in the top 100 bracket.

Earning veteran for v6 simply means stick with us and you will be rewarded, we know this is a tough time for you all and us too. Come online throughout the remaining months of v5, join in with events and competitions or leveling skills and you will be in for a chance of gaining the status.

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..

That is an old quote from me, before I was told how activity wont really affect your "Veteran Rank", it will only affect your tokens, read the whole conversation next time maybe? :p

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.

Those statistics should hopefully back up the fact that providing you actively participate on the server and continue your current trends then the majority of those involved; who end up receiving the Veteran rank won't just be users who "have been active just a couple of days" and will infact be our dedicated users who deserve the title. The fact that system will be in place right up until we release should remove out and abnormally active new users and should reward our current players who actively participate on the server.

If you refer back to the post before yours made by Fatnoob it clearly states that other opportunities to gain the Veteran title may be offered. If there are certain individuals who we believe should definitely receive the title for their contribution to the server but for whatever reason they aren't listed in the 100 player list then we may still give it to them. It is a scheme to reward those players who actively participate in the server activity not to penalise those who aren't active.

Although I understand the 100 list isn't the only way to get Veteran, I was a little surprised to see that I wasn't on the list at all. I'd consider myself as a fairly active member for all intents and purposes thus I wonder whether I am a candidate for the list at all to begin with.

I will be relying on those other events then, because my parents LOVE to mess up my schedule so I will have almost no time in the next 2 weeks, which puts me behind a lot considering spring break in 2 days. For example over the summer break how I was almost never on because of how jerk my time around.

Will these events be posted on the fourms?

i hope there will be more events from now to V.6 because especially with the my time zone being different than the server I as well as others in my situation will have a hard time attending these events. Hope to see plenty of opportunities for us on the pacific coast to get tokens.

I am very exited to hear this, but I have a question. Is there going to be any post with the prices of the items based on the Tokens before the V6 release? Thx

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.

My complaint is if this was fair then it would go off the MCMMO scores for the whole server, for dedicated player who ranked over there time on the server just got kicked back to being noobs.

My point is this , and I know this is my opinion... if you go by the MCRANK for the server, I am ranked 16th but with the new system, I ranked 38th and dropping.... and the NEW player are gaining rank....... if the server want to keep the old (vertern) player from leaving and  help the new players then they should get perks....

Another suggestion I have would be to give the player so many tokens for the Noobs the earn on the server, since everyone taking down there shops...

Will v6 tokens be awarded for monetary wealth attained in v5? I think that would be a cool way to reset the economy, allowing those people who put a lot of effort into attaining wealth to potentially reach the 20k token threshold for Veteran. :)

Regardless, thanks for doing all of this to honor effort put in before the changeover - it's above and beyond what is expected of server admins, and it's the reason I've played here consistently for over a year. Stay awesome, and I'm excited to dive into v6!

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!


-straight from the V6 token page.

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.

- From the original post on the V6 tokens


Both statements are true.  Top 100 will receive Veteran status, as will the top 10 in the MCstats categories.
