The Second Donation Change - Soulstones

[501warhead 1796]

Greetings Lord of the Craft,

 

As I mentioned in my earlier post, The First Donation Change - LWC, today I am announcing the upcoming changes to Soulstones or more specifically Soulpillars.

 

This is a real simple one - from this point forward Soulpillars will be unlocked at Diamond VIP (our 100$ package) and will operate the same for all levels of VIP.

Soul Stone/Pillar changes:

 

• Old:
  • VIP pillars increase in total slots alloted based off of VIP level.
    • Diamond: 4 slots
    • Bedrock: 9 slots
    • Ender: 15 slots
    • Aether: 22 slots
       
  • VIPs have increased soulstone slots than other users
     
• New:
  • VIP pillars are placed in the world and increase in maximum souls based off of the time that they are there without being removed.
    • 0 Hours (Creation) - Diamond - 4 slots
    • 24 hours - Bedrock - 9 slots
    • 1 week - End Stone - 15 slots
    • 1 month - Quartz - 22 slots
      Note: VIP level will not effect the growth or size of these pillars.
       
  • All users unlock 4 soulstone slots after enough playtime on their persona.

As stated in the previous post, this is another thing that was requested by Mojang to be changed to conform with the Minecraft EULA. We're working toward finishing our changes and you (should) see some upcoming changes to the store format to comply further with the EULA soon. These changes will go into effect on 5/9/2016 at 12PM EST, (~2 1/2 hours from this post.) All pillars currently placed will retain the same capacity as they had before the update (Aether pillars remain Quartz, Diamond remains diamond, etc., all pillars below Aether will slowly upgrade from the day of the update.)

 

EDIT: As a mention, this is a little bit hasty of an update. Eventually I would prefer it to be a more gradual thing, where you slowly unlock slots for having the pillar down one at a time, e.g. every hour you get 1 more slot. This will likely eventually be the case however this was needed sooner rather than later, so this is the state in which things will remain.

 

These changes have a possibility of breaking existing pillars, if this occurs please send me a PM via the forums including the date and time which you noticed it. Check your pillars when the update goes live to ensure a fast response if needed.

 

Thank you for reading,

-- 501warhead, Lead Developer

I luv it.

Perfect implementation, and solved brilliantly with the pillar having to be there for a period of time. Well done!

I'm pretty much unaffected as a bedrock so +/- X where X = 0 or X = 1.

[Kvasir 1121]

Give the iron vips more perks.

[Narthok 10416]

Has there been any though giving perks that help donators rply instead of mechanically. Adding flavour text for example, being able to rename more items etc.

Bedrock can already rename items. We are looking into adding more item enhancement features for VIPs, yes.

That has already been added.

Yes but the number of items that can be renamed is very limited

What he said^

givinng items descriptions when? Even a limit to how much?

[Sky 0]

0 Hours (Creation) - Diamond - 4 slots

24 hours - Bedrock - 9 slots

1 week - End Stone - 15 slots

1 month - Quartz - 22 slots

 

Do you mean that, all VIP players who put down a soulstone pillar, will eventually reach Quartz or do you mean that, you need Aether VIP for it to reach to the Quartz tier?

[Faunherer 44]

Perhaps give VIPs particle effects?  They are purely cosmetic and provide no mechanical advantage.
