So 1.6 is here. The server will be opening very soon, probably right after I make this post.
Just a few things I wanted to mention. First being that this is a development build of bukkit, meaning there are likely to be bugs and other issues, so if you experience anything out of the ordinary, please post it here so others can try to avoid it.
Next I'd just like to point out the few changes that I made. There aren't too many.
Compared to last map, I toned things down a lot to bring us closer to that vanilla feel.
I removed the names of the different ranks and replaced them with colored stars. This makes the chat look a lot cleaner.
In the player list (tab) I set up a scoreboard to show the number of deaths. No point to this other than something fun.
This is a smaller map (3000 radius). The point to this is to make the map last a lot longer. Each update we'll just expand the border a little bit if there's anything that requires new chunks, and since horses are around, there's not much point to teleporting around everywhere.
Members can no longer tpa or even sethome, however, they can always /home to their bed or /spawn.
There are only two donation ranks:
Nobles ($5+) One sethome, can join full server, and /warp.
and Kings($30+) same as above, except 3 homes.
That's about all I can think of, so I'll open the server now. If anyone has comments or anything, as usual, leave a message below. I'd like to hear what you guys think of the changes.
