In reguards to treston; I don't really know if the EULA will give everyone the chance to earn Fly. Especially with us possible resetting the map upon the release of the 1.8 Patch. We're still awaiting things from Mojang and all that good jazz.
Now, about the screenshots that Crazyman Posted at the end of his post.
I was in Wasted with Nahan, killing noobs and chewing bubble gum. M'kay? All of a sudden; I hear chaser come into our channel and start describing what had just happened. Upon hearing this I logged out of wasted and I got onto the server. I knew what I was going to do and I did it.
Whenever I give someone a warning that is causing massive issues on the server I don't give them any mercy. I give them what I intend; a warning. I got on in this case because I was extremely tired of the bullshit that has been happening on the server that has been revolving around Crazy. I got on and I have him what he deserved at the time.
I fully knew that he was going to be screen-shotting it, and I knew he would post it. When I said "Really? Okay, so what if I do this?" and then I killled him; I was demonstrating to him what he seemed as a "fair kill" was like to me. I did this twice.
Since no one was stepping to give him a stern warning, I did. You don't want me to get pissed off at you to the extent that I do this. I don't have any mercy; and quite honestly I don't give a crap what happens to you on the server. I give you what you deserve. And not only that, but when I give it to you a warning, I do NOT expect you to be an idiot about it and have you no idea what is happening. You knew what was happening Crazy; and you KNEW that you were in trouble the moment you refused to give Chaser back his sword.
I am most likely going to make a news post about the whole 'Wilderness Killing" crap, and I will have to make sure it includes all the possible details that are revolving around the whole issue; and not just Crazy.
With that being said, I do hope Justice gets served and that eventually in time everything goes back to normal.
Paper, Honestly what is the point if you have a pvp map and people get banned for PVPING in that wilderness MAP. If everyones going to make rules against it and make it so you only can use the arena and nothing else for pvp then what's the point in it. Pvp's on so people have to make cool bases to hide from their enemies and constantly be watching their backs. Not feel completly safe and wonder around and when someone attacks they'll flipp to hell and do anything to get back at them.
If you guys are going to make, " No fighting in wilderness rules " Then just remove the pvp. It's as good.
Becca, I was just explaining what those screenshots were discussing. I don't really care about the PvP Aspect of the server; it's just when someone kills players who are totally unprepared for combat and they get cheap-killed it pisses me off.
Yes I do agree people should be able to maybe unlock /fly ingame like with ingame currency, and also be able to unlock /chest or /enderchest or even another creative plot.
Here are my thoughts on reseting for 1.8:
-It would be VERY wise to reset the world for 1.8 as too many people are OP and there is new world generation.
Those are admin commands. We use them to retrieve items back when they get stolen and stashed in poeple's ender-chests. We don't plan on giving those commands to the public ANY time soon. But I like the idea of unlocking things through in-game currency.
Yeah, but maybe another way to acquire fly would be convenient, for the person trying to unlock it and isn't good with redstone, or building massive builds. Don't get me wrong is see getting architect and engineer, but if you were to have fly available in other ways maybe have like 6 days on the server, and meet some other reqs, and then having to pay a fairly high amount would be a suitable idea. This would also benefit the servers popularity some, since the price could be a high price to pay for getting fly (and meeting other requirements as well) people might look into the option of voting for the server to gather some money for fly. Hence, having more people on and possible donating, telling friends about it, applying for staff, or even just simply playing minecraft and having fun.
I haven't been active as of late, that is due to the times. In an hour and a half I'll be sitting down for Yule dinner, to say the least I don't like the holidays, nevertheless I wish you all a nice and warm holiday.
Yeah. If we gave back the old VIP ranks, no one would have any incentive to donate, thus no cashflow for the server to survive on, which = server is kill
