Server IP: smp.opticraft.net
Hi,
We have decided to make a few protection stone changes we think you will all like.
Firstly, you can now sell back your existing stones in order to allow you to upsize when you can afford it.
Secondly, in approximately 24 hours after this post we will be lowering the prices of all the stones.
Coal will become $1,500.
Lapis will become $10,000
Diamond will become $55,000
We are announcing this before making the change so that you will have time to exchange your existing stones at the current prices.
We will also be giving new members from now on a coal protection stone when they sign up. This is for all new members, so existing members will not be eligible - sorry!
Finally, all players starting off on the server will begin with a wooden kit consisting of a sword, axe and pickaxe, along with some food and torches to get them started. This should make starting off more bearable. If you have any other suggestions on what would make starting out for new players more bearable, let me know.

Starters inventory always work its no mod.Keep going optical ;)
-
Hope the protection stones don't bite you in the bum Opti. =s

Indeed, we will see how it goes :P
-
OMG thanks! this will really help new ppl
-
Finally, This idea is pretty cool and we won't have to hear Starters screaming for items anymore, Thanks Optical. Hope this won't go wrong with the PS.
-
Yes that's a good idea, A very good idea :P.
-
Really awesome. Thanks Opti!
-
Yeah, the starter kit seems fine.
-
Some much needed addidtions, BUT!!!
Damn i recently brought 4 lapiz PS and about 7 Coal PS!
I could break and sell but that leaves my property wide open to griefers, but i guess grief can always be rolled back.

Sometimes I just randomly give away food at the spawn. Maybe I'm helping too! Even if I don't know what I'm doing. But, if ps prices go down, could'nt someone just buy a lot then reserve the entire tundra zone near the spawn castle?

If we find that people are just randomnly placing protection stones outside of the spawn area, without need for them they shall be removed, and the owner of the protection stones will be warned and they will lose the stones.

Cool! Sounds like a great idea!
-
Really liking the improvements.
Keep it up!

As I've suggested before, kits for different ranks:
This is what should happen.
This system would help ranks, donation, etc.
Donators should have their own rank, and kits.
A kit is a set of tools that you can spawn anytime after a cooldown.
So when someone types /kit starter, they get the started kit spawned, etc
You are NOT allowed to sell kit spawned items
Kit suggestions:
(Free) Starter kit (available to guests+) - Wooden shovel, wooden pick, wooden axe, wooden sword, bow, 5 arrows, 5 torches (30 minute cooldown)
(Free) Member kit (available to Member+ ) - stone shovel, stone pick, stone axe, stone sword, bow, 10 arrows, 10 torches, 5 bread (60 minute cooldown)
(Free) Trusted kit (available to Trusted+ ) - iron shovel, iron pick, iron axe, iron sword, bow, 20 arrows, 15 torches, 1 cake (90 minute cooldown)
(Donate 5$) donator kit (available to only Donators) - diamond shovel, diamond pick, diamond axe, diamond sword, bow, 64 arrows, 36 torches, 5 cake (90 minute cooldown)
(Donate 25+$) custom kit (available to only Donators with 25$+) - anything they want within reasonable amount to the amount they donated, 10 diamond blocks, grass blocks, iron bars, etc.(120 minute cooldown)

good odea! that way it eill be faironeveryone.

I swear I've seen this on another server b4 but its an excellent idea nonetheless. I'd say these tools are easy enough to come buy to be able to spawn freely in the form of a kit although i can see donators becoming rich within a matter of 24 hours, then again I don't have a problem with ppl getting rich...
I support this! :D
-
Please, no kits!
-
agreed. Kits completely take the S out of SMP the survival.
-
I agree Yomamma. I think the starter kit is fine because the new players won't complain anymore, but I don't think we need any kits other than that one.
-
I actually think kits are fine, they will pretty much run out in an hour or so of gameplay, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
-
Maybe you could start with 5 Cobble Stone.

What would be the point of wooden tools then?
If it wouldn't be for tools what would it be for? You can't exactly build a shelter with it.

Prices have now been updated
-
yay thanks optical!
-
And minecraft is down! :/

Could be 1.2, don't be sad :D
haha, who knows.
-
make it so existing players that dont have stones can get one for free. :D thx
-
yep optic maybe u should add a link for existing players to get a coal ps free... like that time with the $500
-
This wont happen. Sorry
-
I agree that these kits are not good for the server.
But I like that we are able to sell them back!!
Well done!
-
A starting kit for new players is bearable, but not kits for the other ranks. I like the idea of a donation kit.
Also, maybe a Donator rank where the person is able to teleport to other players, and maybe the option to get in-game money by donations.
Those are just my two-cents
-
Also a good idea Player X-ray.you can see all players around you and under ground.It don't show ore's chest and other stuff its only for players.Like a psychic rader if i can get permission to test it give me a shoot.To post screen shots

That's called a X-ray texture pack. Which is illegal.
-
its not so long you can't see ore,s or chests ect..Its not forbidden the only thing you see is bedrock and players.Like the whole map is clear if you walk on the surface you 100% sure you drowning because you can't see anything.
Oke lets end this talk
-
é_é That's basically a X-ray mod.

How is that useful in any way?
That's the dumbest thing, to be honest.

Just make sure that you dont use one. And what is the point? we will find out instantly. we find the tunnels then logblock it. We will catch you if Anyone hacks

Sigh, you guys honestly do not understand what he is saying. I agree it's a mod, illegal and possibly useless but as far as I see he is not using it like a normal Xray texture pack. His xray mod is supposedly just a player finder not some kind of ore, chest or spawner finder like the original Xray mod would be. He just hoped to locate others near him through a somewhat psychic mod (perhaps just highlighting players a bright green which shows they are near), however that does not imply that he can see through walls or is able to find other ores.
In my opinion, this probably should not be allowed since it would be hard to distinguish if it was an actual X-ray mod or just a player finder. However, I did not agree how quickly some Operators and Moderators jumped to conclusions that he would use it as a way to find certain ores or chests (even though he repeatedly stated that its not meant to be used for that reason).

Every time someone suggests a mod, the SMP moderators seem to do this, without realising it is a decent suggestion.

Mods should not be suggested, since a rule says they are not allowed.
Now, server plug-ins, that's another thing.

I find that many people consider a server plugin a mod for some reason.

Double posting is bad. AND what about me giving away free food?
-
You won't have to keep giving away free food soon :)

This thread have gone off the rails... We started with protection stones and new prices, and now were discussing mods and plug-ins? :O
