Zombies are now known as "tunnelers" that prey on unsuspecting miners by digging tunnels to reach them. I am still tweaking this so please report any bugs and feel free to post feedback of your experience with it. * 1.3 generated chunks. To find these areas you need to travel far to the borders of the map. The map is shaped like a sphere, and the border of the map is 6000 blocks in all directions from the center of the map. The last 1500 blocks are 1.3 chunks. Click [URL="http://imgur.com/zZ805"]HERE[/URL] for simple demonstration. * Animal breeding is back, and so is day/night cycles. Weather will be intermittent as normal. You will still take damage if you are in a snowing region without protection. * Faction power levels are still low at 4 power per player. This keeps builds smaller and more practical. This is not a creative server! * You can now warp to the last bed you slept in by holding an emerald in your hand and right clicking. The emerald has unlimited uses so gear up and explore those new chunks. * A really long history. Some players have libraries where they store books they find in the wilderness. You can sometimes come across diaries written by players almost a year ago, which adds a sense of age and depth to our world * There is no global chat. The map is huge (over 3gb in size) & players can only chat if they are within a certain radius of each other. * Many more things. I'm adding new challenging elements all the time.
Sounds like a good time to hide somewhere with a power 5 bow and start to take potshots at wandering adventurers.
So glad to see the server upgraded to 1.3. You can expect to see me online more often! [editline]17th August 2012[/editline] Logged in, the area where I had logged out was the most recent spawn location. However, the exit has been blocked off. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fIWce.png[/IMG] I tried to punch the blocks out of the way, but it's in territory claimed by Kraken, so I am stuck and am unable to leave the spawn room. :rolleyes: Problem solved! Thanks for digging me out! :3
Ok I've spent all day doing the best I can to get all the plugins working correctly. I'm going to bed now and I'm half expecting to get up in the morning to find out everything crashed and burned for some reason. Anyways, I'll check the thread in the morning to read all about it. Night all.
People keep saying "How do you talk in global?" to me lol
Turtleton has been Griffed to all hell and back even tough the chunks were claimed properly and we had enough power :(
Why can't I /home anymore? :( Oh, emeralds.
The server is quite laggy now.
[QUOTE=Steven :D;37284099]Sounds like a good time to hide somewhere with a power 5 bow and start to take potshots at wandering adventurers.[/QUOTE] If you want 3+ large factions pissed and ready to kill you constantly like with Warlords (The State now) go ahead.
Darkortha, may you PLEASE add me on steam, my username is thecat100, the first result should be me. I need to discuss many things with you - Including donations since I have some questions.
I don't recommend playing right now. The server goes down every 10 minutes, its extremely laggy, and if you see a mob its a death sentence. I died by one zombie because he hit me and the server went down right after that, joy.
I went to spawn because someone said there were villagers there (although they might've been talking about something else) and I haven't got any emeralds. Fuck.
I told Kelhawk I needed 11 cooked fish and he said "Yeah,pay one diamond" and I have a ton of diamond so I paid him the diamond then gave the 11 cooked fish to the villager at spawn and got an emerald but Kel got trapped so he now can't get to his base because he never slept in a bed so the emerald didn't work lol Speaking of that villager,is he supposed to be there,I mean he has really good trades that are easy to obtain?But are trades different for everybody?

This server makes me sad because I could never compete with it
[QUOTE=TheSporeGA;37295659]This server makes me sad because I could never compete with it[/QUOTE] What do you mean never compete?
[QUOTE=Pinhead!;37295750]What do you mean never compete?[/QUOTE] Meaning if I had a server it would be no way better then this
The Age of Water would have been better(and more logical,all that snow and ice would melt quickly)lol I guess I might get back to playing on this server,will there still be rifts of some sort?
I'm just not interested in this era very much. Like, what is there to even do now
Oh my god I have an amazing idea A small faction(or maybe even not a formal faction,just a bunch of people together)that live INSIDE the remains of the rifts. Imagine a little house hanging off of those stone tendrils,with some of the glowstone incorporated into it for lighting,tunnels within the stone leading up and down through the place,both looking cool and being functional(defense from PVPers,good view to see people coming,could become a trade center). The Riftcorpse Dwellers how 'bout that [editline]18th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Kylel999;37295769]I'm just not interested in this era very much. Like, what is there to even do now[/QUOTE] Explore,find a villager civilization on an unknown continent and become their king,brag to them about the time you fought a rift,rebuild the world and clean it up,fight off the beings that come from the deep,build something incredibly extravagant because you know that no rift is going to come one day and erase it from existence,usual minecraft server stuff
[QUOTE=Kylel999;37295769]I'm just not interested in this era very much. Like, what is there to even do now[/QUOTE] Just giving everyone a break from the darkness for a while. Think of this age as kind of an intermission where everyone can just relax really. I'm sure the next age will be more interesting. [editline]18th August 2012[/editline] /f home is back for this age. [editline]18th August 2012[/editline] Also I'm sure a lot of people want to mess around with the new 1.3 content, so there's another reason for having a vanilla themed age.
Just wrote 10 pages in a book and the server crashes, my luck.
[QUOTE=killkill85;37295766]The Age of Water would have been better(and more logical,all that snow and ice would melt quickly)lol[/QUOTE] Age of Water impossible to implement due to server limitations...and it was a ridiculous idea to begin with. Also: the snow and ice never melted
I really think it would be neat if one of the ages involved monsters being able to spawn at all times. I've always thought Minecraft needed some daytime mobs. Maybe they could be stronger during the night or something.
WHen I looked at the Ironhammer rifts, I knew what must be done. The arches are all big enough to have roads on top of them, and medium-sized houses on both sides of those roads. Towers connecting the ground and the arches, long and windy streets on top of them, houses hanging off from the top of the arches above the large abyss... It would be the most amazing Minecraft thing ever.
[QUOTE=Meal;37296303]Age of Water impossible to implement due to server limitations...and it was a ridiculous idea to begin with. Also: the snow and ice never melted[/QUOTE] I noticed it didn't melt but it should have also it's not really impossible per say,just impractical to do
[QUOTE=killkill85;37301424]I noticed it didn't melt but it should have also it's not really impossible per say,just impractical to do[/QUOTE] Yeah may as well keep the snow for Age of Darkness II :v:

There was MCMMO at one point, along with currency.
