General Discussion / WOW!!!

« on: 16 March 2017, 02:11:23 AM »

I haven't been on this server in a while, but HOLY CRAP has it ever gone for shit!

Reading thru ban appeals, reports etc... The way the staff (livid & octo) talk to players. So very unprofessional.
I remember being online when livid and (notch?) had that huge fight.
The staff here really have gone down hill.

I think AKO needs to step up and get this server back up to a place of happiness like it used to be.

I am sad to see how much this servers community has really fallen down to a crumble.
I have read a lot of people comment on how bad it has been getting.

I really hope you guys can get this back to the old VC I used to know.

I have to agree with the spawn tunnel and randomTP thing!

I think this server is great, but when I first started I had a hard time getting out of the region.
Im 31, and a smart players so i was able to run run run out of Qualia, find a spot, build a temp shack until I was able to move on.
BUT... as we all know there are players out there that are not so smart.
Also I have noticed since I started playing on this server, the Qualia region has gotten larger. For example, found my old shack and it is now part of the Qualia region. So it seems as though its gotten too big.

I personally HATE the random teleport commands, as they drop you who knows where, BUT, i personally feel there should be something that makes it a little easier for new players to get started.

I have noticed (no joke) hundreds of players join this server, get confused and leave. MAKES SENSE, once you get out of the spawn tunnel it is super hard to find your way AWAY from it. I could definitely see plenty of players give up.
(Also when i first started playing VC, it was when i first started playing MC on the PC, i didn't know you could turn up the brightness of the game, i spawned at night, and had the hardest time getting out of the tower once i was out of the tunnel, its too dark, and no direction)

The spawn tunnel is a great idea, but Like weso said it is missing a lot of important information. Maybe expand on that to give new players a sense of all the functions they are able to use?!?!

Once they get out of the tunnel have more direction on where they need to go, or what they need to do.

This is going to sound harsh, BUT, VC like MANY MANY servers have this HUGE beautiful spawn building, but, for new players its useless. There really is nothing there for them to do, its all an oversized visual of what a player(s) can do in creative mode with probably some WorldEdit!

Make it so the new players have a sense of direction, a sense of hope to actually survive in the game.
Help them out, rather than drop them at a top of a mountain and basically saying "good luck"

I voted no. 
They should stay.

I agree.  They can be totally annoying but it's something that makes this server unique and great.  Making it difficult to tp in the outlands amps up survival tactics.   You really need to prepare yourself when heading out.  Stock up on stps for instance. 


As for village creation I agree it is super hard.  Ie building on an island like I did.  Went thru a lot of stps.   I'd maybe suggest if someone is starting to build a village maybe give them a small 4x4 region. Outpost style so they can tp for supplies.   Make this temporary of course. 

I don't see why this server would scrap stps because a bunch of people whined about it being too hard to tp.   It's part of the server you're on.

WOW

I know I am not on this server much at all these days, and I will admit (as I said during that fight that I so happened to be online for) it was really immature and unprofessional.

WITH THAT SAID: NOKET ... I thought you were one of the MAIN people for this server? How could you leave this team? I thought you were an integral part of this big machine?

You can't just up and leave these guys, they need you and your very important work.

I for one hope that you re-think your decision and stay.
Running a server is very hard work, and you were doing an amazing part doing your job.

If not, I am sure a lot LOT of people will be sad to see you step down.

Ban/Punishment Appeals / Shane's accused ban

« on: 25 August 2016, 01:59:36 AM »

State your full Minecraft username: ShaneBolenback
State the punishment you received: jailed then Temp banned
State what you were likely doing that got you banned/punished: I was accused for using X-ray
State what you would like to happen to your case and why (pardoned/forgiven/etc):

I am applying for a full pardon.
I was followed around when mining and accused of using X-ray.

Lish THOUGHT i was using X-ray because of my mining pattern. Not sure what pattern i was using, i was moving around all over the place looking for coal, iron and redstone. I got a lot of diamonds because I have a fortune pick. I have learned from my own server that diamonds are MORE commonly found bellow level 12. Usually closer to bedrock. Wasn't even looking for diamonds, really don't care about the money. Was bored and just decided to do some mining.

So I'm saying i was NOT using X-ray.
Im a little upset that someone followed me mining, someone i don't know for that fact. And they accuse me of something based on a THOUGHT!

Also, after leaving the server i watched their chat on the dynmap, it was between lish and (sorry i don't know the other guys name) noctor???
They both didn't know much about what they were talking about a even admitted they weren't certain of my actions.

So i would appreciate to see this ban lifted.

Thank you

Shane

Hi Admins

I was talking before about the old Simple Region Market plugin for renting out shops, and or buying houses in my village.
I know you said it went to poo, so I was hoping a new one would come, came across this one

AREA SHOP

Looks great.

Heres a link to check out

Thanks for reading Let me know if this happens to come into the server.

I second this. Its one of the very few white materials which is great for creating modern looking buildings.

I hope to see this in the market

General Discussion / Simple Region Market

« on: 25 April 2016, 06:58:05 PM »

I have heard that the simple region market pluggin is quite buggy.

I have a few stores in my town and booths in my town public market I would love to rent out.
I was just wondering if and when another plugin would be introduced to VC to enable me to rent out these spaces?

Thanks
