LATEST NEWS
UPDATE 13/06/12 - I have been informed today that the server is being moved from its current location in Kansas to a new secure improved server in Chicago. Unfortunately I was also informed today that the server will be moved tomorrow. Lol. As you can imagine this is somewhat short notice, however thanks to the good people at MPServ we now have a new dedicated server IP and web domain!
The existing IP will work for 1 week while players are redirected to the new server. Everything in the world has remained exactly the same as it was, but this is still a good stepping stone towards our upcoming revamp!
ANNOUNCEMENT: 12/06/12 - Server Revamp
As it stands we have decided we are not happy with how the server is currently working and it is not in line with the original ideas I had for an epic custom adventure map. Therefore I have decided on the following changes:
The world is going to be split in two, with one world dedicated to Quests and Adventuring, and another where players are free to play survival and build there own creations, where players can choose which world to join from a central spawn hub.
Quest World:
No Building AT ALL will be allowed
Economy System in place for items, and also buying / renting pre-made properties to store adventure equipment
Killing mobs, quests, dungeons and selling items will be the main source of income
Number of quests and dungeons to complete for loot and rewards as well as a new main quest line to follow
Premium members will not be able to build unless they submit building plans
Anyone who bought In-Game cash will have it transferred to this world, other balances will be wiped clean
The Quest world inventory will be separate to the survival world
Players will keep all items and most XP on death
Players will navigate the world with Dragon Travel and Home teleports, but will not be able to TPA players
Survival World:
All players can play regular SMP Minecraft here and build whatever they wish
Current world will be replaced with the latest Minecraft map so it will include new structures, biomes, emeralds, etc.
Economy, Creative Control, and several other plugins will be REMOVED from this world completely for greater freedom
Factions will remain and become free
Premium will retain all current perks in this world
Complete No Hack / Grief protection - LogBlock protects every block a player places
General Changes:
The server will be getting more RAM
The server will be 're-branding' itself to Legends of Illyria complete with new website and forums
The price of Lifetime Premium will be increasing to $19.99
Expansions will be released to the quest line over time, work on existing quests will stop
The change will hopefully coincide with Minecraft 1.3 release.
If you have any questions or suggestions please refer to the forums!
UPDATE 02/06/12 - Summer is pretty much here, so why not spend your time inside and play Minecraft! OwnBlocks has been added to the server, so any new buildings by players will be protected. This should vastly reduce the number of griefs!
Also being implemented is the Hunger Games! Which should be coming soon hopefully.
UPDATE 28/05/12 - Players can now vote to kick others off the server if they are being annoying with the command /votekick.
The first Weekly Mod Meeting has taken place and hopefully we will be looking to recruit new players and discuss various aspects of improving the server!
Mod Meetings will take place from 2pm each Saturday so please be aware we will be AFK during this time, thankyou :)
UPDATE 24/05/12 - Gods have been added to the game! Should you wish to, you can now fly to the Cathedral and pick a God to worship. Praying to the same God each day will increase your reputation with them, and they will bless you with various boons! If you do not pray for a while though or switch Gods, all that work will be undone, so be warned!
Gods will also become more powerful and generous as more people worship them!
Also, the Cathedral area has a small Parkour area incorporated into it which will hopefully be expanded and include rewards for completing!
UPDATE 19/05/12 - Some important changes have been made to the server!
Factions have been re-added to the game. There is a $200 cost to create a faction, and a $500 cost to claim land. You will need to use money from your faction balance to claim land.
PVP Arena has been scrapped. Instead, you can now toggle yourself for PVP by typing /PVP in game!
The /back command has been removed to make death more of a penalty.
The world map has been fixed!
A Fishing Tournament has been added!
The latest version of bukkit is now running on the server!
Various bug fixes
UPDATE 16/05/12 - A working Spleef Arena has been added to the game! You can now play spleef with your friends and the arena will reset when your done! Type /spleef join arena to play! (Note: You will need a Premium or Moderator to start the game by typing /spleef arena start until the plugin has an automatic start feature)
UPDATE 12/05/12 - After some considerable time, Quest 10 has been officially released! The city of Fireforge has been uncovered, home of the Dwarves, and war between the mages and them is brewing. Help out in this new dwarf storyline today!
UPDATE 06/05/12 - A Teaser Trailer type video has been released for Quest 10 which will be coming soon on the server! You can view it above.
UPDATE 26/04/12 - The server encountered a critical error earlier today and resulted in the loss of all plugins.
I am working with the server company who have happily restored them from a backup, however the configs may have changed. As a result the server will be offline sporadically until the problem is solved, thank you for your patience.
UPDATE 21/04/12 - There have been some issues with plugins not working correctly as of late. Happily however MobArena is back up and running again! The arena has been improved and now has boss fights, new classes and a leaderboard!
UPDATE 12/04/12 - The popular game SkyBlock has been added to the server! See how well you can survive on a tiny floating island! Type /skyblock join to get started now!
UPDATE 09/04/12 - The Easter Building Competition has ended! A huge thanks to all entrants, there were many good creations but only 3 could be chosen! So, here are the chosen winners:
1st Place: Pajek2111
2nd Place: Krimbo
3rd Place: Awesometony69
Special Mentions: Jdawg56, Ajt1235785, Pikkenmin, Snab00dle, Dragondonv2
You can find pictures of the winning entries on the competitions tab!
UPDATE 08/04/12 - Happy Easter! Just a reminder the building competition will end today! So now is your last chance to touch up any creations you've made before the competition zone is closed and the judging begins.
The winners will be announced on the website tomorrow! In other news, there appears to be problems with the minecraft.net servers at the moment and players take too long to log in. NOT ME FOR ONCE! Please be patient and log in should be back to normal soon...I hope D=
UPDATE 04/04/12 - Minecraft 1.2.5 has been released and the server has also been updated to the latest version of Bukkit! Similarly to last time, the update is equally pointless, annoying, and frustrating. However, there are supposedly a lot of bug fixes so it can only be good right.............?
The existing IP will work for 1 week while players are redirected to the new server. Everything in the world has remained exactly the same as it was, but this is still a good stepping stone towards our upcoming revamp!
