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

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  .

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

(Free) Starter kit (available to guests+) - Wooden shovel, wooden pick, wooden axe, wooden sword, bow, 5 arrows, 5 torches (30 minute cooldown)
