3.0 Launch date set! [Friday the 28th]

Time Changed from Thursday to Friday, and for a good reason. The Coder who is working on making plug-ins specific for the server is working on something big and should be completed by Thursday, possibly Friday at the latest. It will be a custom plug-in that will allow kingdoms to be created automatically when reaching the set amount of players within the "towny". This will automate everything within the game taking the power from admins and giving them to the players. With this mod the Kingdom leaders can invite people to their kingdom. With a single command the player can join the kingdom, join the chat channel and have building rights to the protected land.

What is also in the works are some changes to the economy. When a player starts a shop within the protected areas of a kingdom, it's "towny", the king will receive taxes from the transactions made within the "towny" and possibly have the ability to set the taxes within his region.

There will be many changes, to enhance the basic structure we have already, that will without a doubt make the game many times more fun and increase the game-plays depth.

I wanted to let everyone know we are just putting on the last touches (and torches, funny right?), crunching the last numbers, and finalizing the majority of the game.

You will need to be prepared. Contact your friends and faction members. This will be somewhat of a land rush, don't worry though the map is filled with fantastic areas and is more than big enough for everyone.

As for copying over places from 2.0 we will have to waiting longer. Cuboid could not do the job correctly and WorldEdit is now being updated for Bukkit. We will need to wait for the official release of Bukkit to start copying over places. So you can either get a fresh start or simply wait until we can port stuff over.

We plan to go public again on Friday or Saturday of this week.

The launch time will be around 5pm PST or 8pm EST

I am very excited to announce that we also have a java coder who will be making plug-ins specific to our server. He has plans to do a full overhaul of Towny to meet our needs on this server among other things. This guy really knows his stuff and is far from being an amateur coder.

On a side note we have not come up with a name yet for 3.0. In 2.0 we called it New Dawn. Now we need something else, so if you have a suggestion throw it down.

First!...Thank God! Now our hard work can be seen!

Awesome. Are sign ups open yet? I have a friend wanting to join.

If you have a friend just let us know. We will let them on right now. We just aren't letting people who we do not know on yet, just for future reference.

Oh ok, his MC name Durgroth

Awesome, for me I think thats some time tomorrow night.

Too bad I go back to school next week. -.-

The Kingdoms Reloaded

I'm a little apprehensive about this start date, seeing as how my own schedule won't let me work very much on the server over the next couple days.... I just hope that the chamber pot doesn't hit the fan this time.

We could call this one "Fresh Horizons" or something? :3

Awesome. Cant wait till 3.0

Maybe Rising Storm? The Kingdoms 3.0 Full Throttle? xD ihavenocluewhatsoeverandamhorribleatcomingupwithsexynamessocutmesomeslack

Can I ask how large the border region is? I would prefer to see a square, instead. Limiting x and z to within -2000 and +2000, with spawn at 0,0 for example.

Oh? In that case, could you add 0ver please? With a zero, not the letter. He's been on before, when the whitelist didn't work. It would be great if you could, thanks.

How about we keep it New Dawn so I don't have to start over on a new logo and actually finish this one... xD

This'll be epic! I have about 3 friends that want to join the server when it goes public. Having more players again will be fun!

On another note, I think we should stick with New Dawn. The people that join will have no clue about 2.0, so it won't really matter.

As for a name, how about 'Reborn', or maybe 'Rising'?

A name would be:
Rise of the New King
or
The Rebirth
or
Realms of Sotonia

I love the Coder who's doing this for us ^^

Thank you!

Maybe


The Rising

or

New Generation

or

New Camelot

or

The Rising of Dawn ;3

or

The West Wind Rising :3

How about
Newer Dawn >

Renascent sun or dawn

In case we are changing names.

I don't remember if my friend ever made it on the whitelist, just in case he didn't his name is Inanimateobject.

hahahaha


Why new Dawn or New, how about the The Night Falls, or something, make it dark and gritty. give it more character rather than a theme?

Old Dusk.
I will take my royalties in cash.
