Get the wiki sorted first? ;D I have no clue about getting exp for prayer and diving and would really like to know each classes skills! It will take literally seconds to add that fix ^.^ And I'm going to write up that page tonight Since I won't be able to get my patch files fixed, written, and sorted until tomorrow. I should also be online on Steam and TeamSpeak (SP) tomorrow, so I'll be there to listen to problems and suggestions, and such. So be there if you want to know anything, or give me an idea. be sure to let me know how the server plays, as well! I want to know if it FEELS like an MMORPG, or if I should tweak and add more features! But yeah. Wiki tonight (For me), and patch within the next week! (I'm mainly postponing the patch since I keep finding problems with new features, and keep getting new feedback from people, so I keep wanting to fix it at once).

Three things.
1) If we're gonna be serious about this server, we should make a sub-forum designed specifically for this. I can do that I guess... just people give me the okay.
2) Buildr needs to be enabled. I'm sorry, but that 4 hour video I made could have been a LOT shorter. And I'm working on B3 atm. And I refuse to mine out a 50x100x5 area before I even start to build. That's like... 25000 blocks... and then I refuse to have to place an additional 10000 blocks just to have the walls made out of the right material. With Buildr I could do that in 5 minutes... without it... well it's not gonna happen. Maybe make it ops only? (This IS a quest building after all... I get nothing from using it besides about 4-5 hours of my life.)
3)I think I just ranted so much with the second one I forgot the third. No matter, I'll update this if I remember. JUST PUT BUILDR ON DAMNIT!

Are you actually resetting everyone's levels as people have said? I think the server's great and everything, just not sure I can be bothered to level up again

Already made a forum for it, Chiral ^.^ minescape.forumotion.comAnd unfortunately, yes, I need to reset the HERO levels. NOT the skill levels (Mining, combat, and such). But since I'm changing all the health limits, level limits (It's now 50, instead of 30), adding and changing skills, and rewriting the experience and damage files...I have to :/ Don't forget, though. After this patch, the server will be 100% public. This means random people, donors, all of them new. You guys will have a major advantage. Some of you already have skill capes. Meaning you got them before I'm making it a lot harder to get them. You're keeping all those levels, your money, and your inventory. So be happy ^.^ Also, Chiral... I'll add Buildr back. Make it ops-only. It's not that much extra work, now that I finished the damn Permissions system, rewriting the entire server build... (You can send money to each other, now!) But yeah. You have fair enough points. It is for the server. I'll be home late tonight (I'm sitting in the university's marketplace as I'm typing this, I have classes up until 8pm, my time), but I should be on TeamSpeak after that to get more suggestions and such. So yeah.

Hooray! More griefing! I don't even know what a skill cape is but I guess it's pretty cool that you get to keep your skill levels, by the by when you say resetting the HERO levels I don't suppose that means if we get to the next class we don't get set right back to the beginning?

Sorry, Hero levels are the grouping of the classes. So yes, they'll be reset ;P
Griefing will be bannable. I'll explain all the rules clearly in multiple places, before it goes live.
And capes ARE quite cool. You get to level 100 in a skill, and you get a cape to prove it on Spout ;P Each skill has a different cape.

1) What if you master two skills? 2) It'll feel more like an mmorpg when we actually get... you know... what is that things rpgs have... Oh! Yes! A plot. (And quests.) And instances... with raid bosses. 3) Also new idea for a class. 150 max health, stone sword, all armour, no skills. (at all... well maybe recall)

(at all... well maybe recall) 1) You can freely switch between capes Check the Wiki, Kirv wrote up a thing on the Levels and it's on the page. Caps included. 2)Heh, working on it. Probably won't be in this patch, though. Having some issues with the quests...but I'll try and get some starter ones in. 3) ...

Dw about point 3. Not yet, anyway... Heh.
Also the minecraft update means I can't connect any more. Sadfaic.
EDIT: Also. - I don't really like how we have a SEPARATE forum for the server. It kinda just seems like more effort for less results to me. But ah well.
- I kinda also feel like holding more contests. But instead of buying real money rewards... I would instead grant in-game money to the winners on the server. So yeah two questions. Brett would this be cool? And people who play on the server, would you have a go?
My first idea is to get all you lot to make trailer videos for the server (to raise awareness and get people interested!) I'd be willing to award... hm... 50T to everyone who has a go, and to the best made ones (1st, 2nd and 3rd as judged by the admins) I'd give 500T, 200T and 100T respectively. But yeah. I don't know, and I'm not going to start a new thread without gauging interest first.

Gah someone posted before I finished my edit! Also minecraft broke my spoutcraft. So there. And I can't reinstall until they release something for 1.8, apparently. I got a white screen whenever I try and play

Right. 1.8 update.
This means a bunch of stuff may be broken... But I was ready for it. Server launch may be postponed, and unfortunately, I won't update it until I'm done. But Grim and Cold are also on the development team, so thet can go for it. It just may be really buggy.
So yeah. I'll be home in about an hour and a half. I'll be driving to finishing this patch. Hopefully there won't be any issues.

I'd really like to help with the creation of quests, so let me know when you're planning on making them.

...Well we do need locations for questgivers I guess... (Unless there's going to be like an Adventurer's Guild where quests are handed out, I suppose...), and there are also locations for quests to happen that might need to be built! (Like the Castle Ruins I built on day 1... or the Abandoned Facility I'm still working on...)
As for writing them... I honestly don't know ask brett here. *pushes Brett towards you*
Also... noone said anything about the competition idea yet. Maybe I should make a thread for it...

Competition == amazing idea. /end
But yeah. Quests... So far, I'm good, to be honest :/ Adding them to Quest Givers is easy enough.
I'm just frantically trying to get the server working for 1.8 ... But I've no idea how long it'll take me to do that...
