  • Also, we can downgrade to half a gig of ram if need be. We usually only use about 25-30% of our current ram as it is, excluding startup.

  • Alternatively, I can recommend a good server if we can't get the money for our current one. It's got a bit more non-vanilla stuff, but I've always found the people in it to be pretty nice. Their world is huge too, and more people to interact/trade with.

    Ok, serious time guys. As it currently stands, the server will be ending in early June. We simply can't afford to pay for the rental fees, even if we decrease our ram usage. I'm willing to put together a better incentives package for donating, but it's all going to be for naught if we can't raise at least $30.  I'm going to brainstorm with @Jhaeli and see what we can come up with, but the future is looking bleak at the moment. Also, are there any incentives that you guys would like to see added?

    @Mishgul If you want to be whitelisted, I need your minecraft name. I sent you a pm about it, but you never replied.

    Going to tag all the minecraft players here, just so they make sure to read this post.

    @Ruth Assuming we downgrade our ram, we are looking at around $35 for the next 3 months. The current ram price is around $45. We currently have next to nothing in our donation box though.

  • DaslinDaslin The place with the oxygen
    I'm stupid low on funds, having no job and all, so I can't donate, but you know I would if I could.
  • I might be able to throw something together even though I've yet to really play (damn timezones and such) but we'll see!

    @Nellaundra Halos is on right now and creeping around while building Targossas. Also, anything you can donate would be much appreciated.

    Also, @Daslin should log in more.

  • I paid almost all of it last time and I haven't had the time to play it at all. Sorry

  • Yeah, I know. Thank you for donating so much last time. I was just tagging the people who I remember seeing quite a bit.

  • No problem. With my job, training for a marathon and social life, I don't have much time for anything computer games wise. I'm sorry! >_> I do miss you guys.

    So I'm downloading this, after getting a wild hair to try a new game. Without digging through 22 pages, I take it someone has set up a server?

    Right, so MC username is UNST3RBLICH, Skype is UNST3RBLICH1. Cheers.

    @Kazu, or someone who can, assuming the above is still the current server address, please add me to the Whitelist.


  • Remind me what the page is to donate? I can put a chunk towards the next 3 months

    I will sort it out, got sidetracked into  writing stuff for achaea which never even mattered inthe end anyway. Stupid circumstances.

    I'll add that address to my signature. Done. Hopefully all the info everyone needs is there!

    Please, don't feel pressured to donate if you can't play. It just wouldn't be fair to you! But we are trying to scrounge up some tasty incentives for those who do donate. (To whomever just donate $20 - thank you!)

    And for those who say there's no one around - you can find me occasionally lurking around now these days too!

    ETA: Kazu and I came up with these perks. We tried to make good ones affordable so that everyone can enjoy something. Note that these perks will only last for the three month period that you donated towards unless we get so many donations that we have enough for the next period as well. After that, you have to donate again to get a perk.

    At $5, you'll get iron armour set and iron toolkit commands, with (I believe) a minimum of a three day cooling period. (This is for personal use, not to give away!)

    At $10, you'll get the fly command, plus the above.

    At $15, you'll get a diamond set of a pickaxe and sword. Cooling time TBD, but it'll be long. Again, for personal use only and including the above.

    How does that sound to you guys?

When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."

    I'll be putting this stuff in later tonight. I'd like to ask the person who donated $20 to pm me with the name used, and I'll see about putting you at the correct tier.

  • RuthRuth Singapore
    There you go, I donated 15.

  • Updates are now live, and you should have access to the proper commands based on rank. There's just a couple of other changes to note as well.

    - I fiddled with the player health bars to try and make them more like mobs. Dunno how this went, as I've no player to test.
    - You will now need a bed to set your home. I meant to remove all the old homes not associated with a bed, but that will take a bit.
    - I bumped the usage of the Skychest sorting plugin up to iron ($5) level.
    - I bumped /kit kat up to iron level.
    - I removed Craftipedia, since it was pretty outdated and almost never used.

    Based on the way the ram plays out, I'm going to look at adding another fun little plugin, but I'd like to see how the server ram looks at the moment. I'm considering removing the dynmap plugin to reduce the server ram usage given our possible downgrade.

    @Ruth I already put you in the proper bracket, so enjoy your gliding.

  • @Halos How much?

  • edited May 2013
    Should have enough for June, no downgrade necessary!

    Oh! I meant to add - as thanks for this past period, @Siena, let me know when you start playing again and you can have the incentives then. :)

    @jhaeli okay! Will do! I appreciate your gratitude.

  • Just a quick update, but you guys will need to reset your homes using a bed.

    Also, I believe I fixed the refill wave in the arena to include proper health potions for each class. Let me know if it's still on the fritz.

  • Quick update:

    - I fixed the refill wave (again), and I think it should be working properly. If anyone makes it to wave 11, let me know.
    - I changed up a few things with the bosses to keep things fresh in the arena.
    - I reset the End, so go get an epic group together and take down that dragon!

    Credits for Achaea or something haha, but I guess thats hard to work out without losing money
  • Also maybe a custom enchanted pickaxe/sword for 25$

    I haven't posted any server pics in a while, so here we go! Hope you guys don't mind me sharing images of your stuff.

    Here's one of @Jhaeli 's property. She's working on building a mage tower. There's a lot more underneath the hill, but I didn't want to invade her privacy and post all of it.

    image

    This one belongs to @Hayte. It's a lovely island soon to be overrun with flames and soul sand in a supposedly accurate representation of Mhaldor.

    image

    This one belongs to @Azzad. It's the flying island base Columbia! It comes complete with a giant statue, lighthouse, and rail track that reaches down and over to Mhaldor.

    image

    This is my castle in the forest that I recently started working on. It's nowhere near being done, but I hope to show you guys more as I work on it.

    image

    This one is @Ruth 's place. The sandstone building is her watchtower and the wooden mansion is where she plans her world takeover.

    image

    For the last home picture, we have @Halos and his project of recreating Targossas. I believe this is overlooking Silver...Bright Square? Not sure, never been to Targ.

    image

    Last, here's a fun picture of Halos, Ruth and me in the arena waiting lobby after an epic showdown. Poor Ruth used to be an adventurer like us until...well, you'll see.
