Survival Server News

[right]Category: Survival Server[/right]

Check out our new spawn island. Featuring a petting zoo, winding coastal beach and forest walks complete with a small town.

To leave the spawn island, use the warps provided at the main square. Simply walk over the pressure plate in each warp. In spawn, there are no mobs, PVP is off and there are no build rights. To visit spawn either type in /spawn or /warp islandspawn

iConomy also has been implemented along with coin rewards for killing mobs. Every player starts with $100. Killing mobs have a 100% chance of gaining coin, whilst the amount earned is a random value within a range and depends on the mob type.

Additionally chest protection is back on the server. Type in /lwc to find out more information and commands. Remember to lock your chests!

Chest shops and the admin market will be added in the near future.

That looks SOOOOOO nice! Can’t wait for everything else :smiley:

I like that you can’t get money from killing mobs from a mob spawner, but… THEY DON’T DROP ANY LOOT OR EXP!!! There goes xp farms… q_q

One of the suggested changes to survival was the removal of Admin shops. If we only have a player economy, then players decide the price on items. I think it’s a good idea. We should go without it and see how it plays out.

^ I approve.

I’m severely disappointed that flying is allowed on Survival. That completely throws cool creations out the window since now they can be made easier and it ruins the point of SURVIVING when people can fly away from mobs. Hence SURVIVAL.

But I don’t play anymore so whatever.

I don’t even remember having flying enabled on survival. Is NoCheat broken or something?

I suggested flying mod+…

I could always create a thread to debate the use of flying. But you really can’t argue against the fact it’s Survival mode and flying isn’t part of survival. If people want to create without monsters getting in the way of killing them and ruining their creations, we have a Creative server just for that which allows flying I believe.

First off, spawn looks FANTASTIC, even with all the testificates wandering XD.

As for flying, a lot of people wanted it on Survival, and I am personally a huge proponent of it. Also even now players are asking if they can buy items from me, so maybe some admin shops with basic items would work.

I have a few arguments in favor of flying on survival, but this is not the place. I think we should have a formal discussion on it. Maybe we should have a formal vote for it or not.

Admin shops for some basic needs is a good idea I think. I would price them quite high to encourage the player economy. Things like wooden tools should be cheap as no one would really want them unless it’s all they have.

I’m fine with flying being staff only. We should discuss this elsewhere.

Andy, we don’t even have NoCheat at the moment. Special went with everyone’s vote from the forums to enable flying. There was one vote against last I checked.

I really like the idea of a player-based economy with highly priced admin shop items. I think it would encourage player construction and interaction.

I was wondering why spawn is on an island now. Is it to prevent garbage structures right near it? Or is it just for aesthetics/look?

Both perhaps? Either way, I like it.
