Fireheart 2777 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Good evening Lord of the Craft! It’s now been a full week since 5.0 was released and several things will be changing as settlements finish up construction and players now have a decent establishment on the new map. First, limited creative, which was given out to all nation capitals and the two guild plots, has surpassed the one week mark. Meaning limited creative will not be given out for nation capital / guild builds anymore. With this in mind, there has been an updated resource list posted within the charter applications forum which will give you a detailed price listing of particular items. Happy shopping! Secondly, raiding is back on the table! For your convenience, I’ve added the current raid rules in the spoiler below to ensure everyone is familiar with them. Section 1 (Lawless Raiding), Lawless Banditry would be four or less people killing, robbing and causing chaos within a settlement. The max amount of raiders would be four and the raiders would have a total of 30 minutes to raid and or attack the settlement, this means if they don't find someone in 30 minutes or they can't reach someone in 30 minutes then the raid is automatically over. The cooldown for lawless banditry should range from 1-2 days. Section 2 (Lawful Raiding), Lawful Raiding would be twelve or less people attempting to rescue someone taken captive. They would have 1 hour to rescue the captive and should be allowed to use TNT or ladders, Lawful Raiding should also require GM supervision. Lawful Raiders may not kill citizens but may kill guards or other people of that nature. Section 3 (War Raids), War Raids would be a raid on a settlement that is currently at war with the raiders. The raiders would be allowed up to 8 people and may picklock chests for rations and provisions. The cooldown for war raids should be 4-5 days. Section 4 (Counter Raids), A counter raid may be used in the situation where one or more of your settlements have been recently raided. You may only counter raid against lawless or war raid types and counter raiders are allowed up to 16 people. If the settlement they are raiding is on cooldown then the counter raiders may ignore this and continue on with the raid. Alternatively, they have only 10 minutes to find a player in the region, if that time runs out then they must leave. You may not counter raid a counter raid. Now onto a more general topic, a quick summary of our security breach yesterday: Accounts of several community members were breached and forum topics were deleted en-masse, on the game-server WorldEdit was used to tear a few holes in some settlements, which have since been rolled-back. Those `hacked` were victims of old password dumps from years ago and did not change their passwords on new platforms. Deleted threads will be recovered by late Monday to Tuesday and no newly created posts/topics should be affected. If you have an issue with reputation, please contact Dohvi. Another small announcement as we move forward, we’ve decided to switch over to Discord as our main community voice platform! Channels will still be given out to VIP’s that are Diamond or above, so jump on over there with your friends! https://discord.gg/qaKxCDa And to top it all off—the one week grace period has elapsed and nations may now purchase expansions! Starting this Monday activity checks will be in effect on all plots. This means that your activity will be based off the amount of players you have. Provided below is a small snapshot of the current manpower requirements of each nation, based off how many plots they currently have. When activity checks take place this is the current expectation and as time goes on it will change and mold itself into a better system. Currently all nations are on track! Moving forward I will be posting tomorrow some information in the charter application forum regarding independent guilds and how they can go about applying / obtaining land! Have a good day and happy RPing! ~Fire~ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a public server for the LOTC community. A lot like how Teamspeak has been used for so long in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, Fireheart, but what's the point in switching over? The community is used to Teamspeak, the Staff is used to Teamspeak, and thus far it has worked very well. It's also intuitive and easy to get into, while Discord is a mess. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't serve as a replacement! Teamspeak is still there for those of you who enjoy using it and now Discord stands there for people that enjoy using that platform over the other. In the end, most teamspeak servers within the community are held privately by different groups so this does not affect them in any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been having loads of problems with Teamspeak sadly, and discord has simply proven to be a better platform for doing things such as community meetings etc. So as of now we're more inclined to use discord for these sorts of things as it just solves a lot of the problems that we ran into when we were using Teamspeak. problems like voices cutting out, people sounding robotic etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
