Currently, the only reasonable ways to defend yourself from the enderpearls are with unrealistically high walls or enclosed ceilings. Both look like absolute shit, especially on a large, outdoor base.

A deeply secretive plan was formulated to have a spy infiltrate deep within the heart of the THO clan, using the battle as a diversion to the real plan we can now report that any items of value that WERE within the chests of THO are now nice and snug within Loners chests. Flawless Victory p.s. Thanks for the music box, i had been wanting one of those. Yeah man! Great job taking out a major North American faction when most of us are asleep! You're so good! | ||

This is a great way to prevent new players from robbing you blind and then joining the faction they wanted to join all along. | ||

This way everyone has their own stuff, but also the greater good of the faction to work for. This is a great way to prevent new players from robbing you blind and then joining the faction they wanted to join all along. How do you actually "give" chunks to players? | ||

Him getting bored and thinking to himself, "hm... maybe I'll just go to Loners now xDD," when there are no preventative measures against faction swapping, doesn't count as a brilliant tactic on your part. It's a flaw in the server and there's nothing we can do about it. | ||

EDIT: WOW WTF SOMEONE IN MY FACTION WRECKED MY BC. I AM VERY ANGRY. The server rules explicitely stated that it was a medieval-like world, and that every building needed to somehow respect the laws of physics. We couldn't keep it. Sorry : ( An Exodite myself, I don't mind trying out something else this time, maybe an underground base or something. It's nice having a big castle but, 1) I find cobblestone ugly and 2) the castle being so big made any changes quite hard to apply. I mean, take the seaside wall for example, someone in the US timezone made it entirely out of cobblestone, until we didn't have anymore left. So I said to myself, well, I'll replace the inside of it with dirt and gravel, and put a nice wooden floor, etc. It took houuuuurs. And it wasn't that rewarding either since I wasn't really adding anything, but mostly building something that had already been built. On the other hand, I find the experience to start from scratch much more exciting. The vulnerability and the possibilites offered to everyone are quite enjoyable. Frankly, I don't think anyone could've gotten to our chests without sacrificing 10 players just to get through the wall layers... | ||

McMMO stats won't be reset. The world will. People are going to QQ and leave because they put 4 days work into something they are attached to, others are coming back because now the server is more balanced than ever, and were starting an entire new round on the specified OP title date. In either case, the server will remain full throughout the day, with either new faces of friendly ones. I look forward to that. We're far more organized now than we were this time yesterday, we had a meeting with all of the major faction leaders for over 2 hours in TS, working out some specific rules and changes Patch changes: -Faction defensive bonus is being dropped to 15% -Wooden Doors are once again protected. -Lava will only be allowed/granted through an Arena event, with admin oversight. -Arena rewards will consist of a "chance" to obtain arrows, or ender pearls, in every match. -Spawn will be a centralized town where PvP CAN happen. However, the physical spawnpoint itself is a podium where you are safe. Once you step off the podium, your off in the PvP world. -You will now only lose 4 hearts per block attacked, allowing for 2 blocks per "regen" in attacking enemies. Notes: -We will be trying to put up a dynamic, constantly updating map this time around, that will show factions territory, and other neat features. -We will be creating only 1 town, where there will be a centralized marketplace, as well as a "warhub" providing easy access to the battlegrounds. To the guys leaving: I want to wave bye to the friendly faces that won't be starting in this round, and thank them for their patience as we went through constant changes of balancing the levels of power. Many factions lost everything due to glitches and OP attributes, but we feel we've ironed most of that out to create a much more fair environment to play on. There's never a case where everyone is happy. So enough on that. To the new faces, and many returning ones: To all the new faces and veteran factions waiting for it to start, this new start will be sometime tonight. The round will go approximately until the end of the month. The map is roughly 3 times as large as the current (we ran out of room on ours), so please spread out when you get in. Approved factions are in the second post under the OP. This will be epic. | ||
