Chat update, borders, new map

Server Ip: smp.opticraft.net

Hi again,

We have been working hard on updating the server of late, and there have been a few changes made recently. The most notable perhaps is the migration to Hero Chat, however there have been others such as the new city protection, expanded borders, economy changes (melons, protection stones), etc.

The addition of hero chat brings in a few significant changes. Firstly, chat is now broken down into channels. By default, there are three auto-joined channels: Local, Global and Trade. Local is chat which is only sent to your surroundings, and this is the default channel you are in when you join. Global is as the name implies, global chat. Trade is meant for trading, and is also global.

By default you will be joined to all three, and your primary channel will be local. This means that when you speak, it will be sent to local players. You can change your primary channel, as well as leave channels entirely. Below are some useful commands.

Commands

• /ch <channel> - Change primary channel
• /ch join <channel> - Join a channel
• /ch list - List all channels
• /ch help - Display all channel commands
• /ch ignore <player> - Ignore a player

We hope that the addition of channels will make chatting more enjoyable for everyone, and we will be open to suggestions on how we can improve the system .

In other smaller news, world borders have been expanded yet again, so get exploring.
Work on the new member+ world is continuing and we hope to release it soon.
We have decided to half the price of melons in the market and remove selling back of protection stones in an effort to regulate the economy by reducing injections and creating sinks for the cash.

Cheers - Opti

Great addition to the server! This will make the chat a lot more cleaner. Thanks Opti

Suggestion: Maybe have the chat titles abbreviated to (G) for Global, (L) for Local, and (T) for trade?

Yeah it's really nice. It should help so much in the fight for the chat box!

You can still get PLENTY of money from melons.

[Boshiwarrior]

It is your own fault people that the melons are halfed now. If so many people are getting so much money with it. There are many other ways to get money. And that you cannot sell PS is only that some people have the Silk-Touch Enchanment.

I agree totally with awesomealicia and i dont even have automated farm just normal one where u actually work to get melons
As for economy....well think of this like game has become little harder to play and with more fun while digging,hunting,farming 

Cant wait for new world to come...i got really nice idea for city on brand new land/sea

Trust me, optical can fix it. But he isn't the creator of the plugin so he has no right to.

The chat channels are a relief Opti, thanks for the time you spend on these things, it's appreciated.
