[10.0 Transition] The Isles of Kalldur

10.0 Transition Details

(we STILL don't have a name)

Hey gamers, your trans admin here to tell you about the server's upcoming transition!

 

Tomorrow, starting at 9 10 PM EDT, we will begin the process of transitioning to [REDACTED], our 10th map. For a period of around two weeks, we will be on a temp map while the technical and map development teams prepare the new map for players. This will include pasting in the wonderful builds done by our nations and lairs, wiring up the roads system, finalizing plugin implementations, and well as data cleanup. For those who have been here for a while, you know the drill, but for those who joined us on Aevos or haven't been around for a map transition, I'll run you through the process below. Expected downtime to switch to the temp map is ~3 hours.

 

The Isles of Kalldur - Our Temporary Home

 

Sailing west from Aevos, the descendants came across a small pair of islands, ripe with rivers, mountains, and... pyramids? Seemingly scarcely discovered and entirely undeveloped, the islands would be a needed rest for travellers wary after months of hard sailing. A strange place filled with few exotic creatures, but with enough resources for them to stop and resupply. Let us see what adventures this place beholds, as we make stop at our transient home - The Isles of Kalldur.

 

After the maintenance window tomorrow, we will find ourselves on the Isles of Kalldur, and Aevos will no longer be accessible. The Aevos Cloud Temple will come along for a final appearance as the spawn, with a few soulstone pillars placed throughout the map.

 

Rules:

- Largely freebuild with the exception of the pillars or event areas.

- No griefing or major landscars anywhere, moderate landscars are okay like if you want to grind for sand or something.

- Open PVP death zone on the small island! PVP forts, instant death traps, all permitted. Raid ladders and raid-TNT will be craftable and freely usable here. No running to the main island to avoid combat.

- No raids on the main island, villainy is still permitted though.

- Sending RP letters / rally pings via /msg or discord (emote still required) are permitted - some light metagaming.

- Normal RP / combat rules on the rest of the map.
- No enforced PKs or magic disconnects.

 

Technical Details:

- Vaults will close upon our move to the temp map.

- Our full plugin suite aside from Realms, Avaries, Rally Bells, and Tiles will be available.

- Personas will be a copy of what is on Aevos when maintenance begins, any changes done to your personas will not carry over to 10.0.

- Mina will be wiped, everyone gets 100 mina.

- Inventories will will be wiped.

- There will be banks at the soulstone pillars if you want to do an oil tycoon run, I'll announce the top 3 richest at the end of the temp map :)

- Resource Island will still be available at CT, but Cloud Temple shops will not.

 - Passive mob spawn will be on, and there will be ores underground. There are caves too!
- Breeding maximum will be increased significantly.
- Surge crafting costs will be reduced.

 

tl;dr - Have fun, don't be an asshole, use common sense, and enjoy the SMP for a couple weeks.

 

10.0 Launch - Technical Details

Since we will have the main server running separately for map staging, there should be next to no downtime when we move from Kalldur to 10.0.

 

Technical Details:

- Full wipe of inventories and mina.

- Realm / lair association will remain.

- Personas (/card etc) will be as they were prior to the transition map (except age).

- Your Vault will be available a few weeks after launch, see the Vaults post for details.

 

Full technical changes will be communicated in a separate post closer to map launch.

It does, age is calculated from the birth year on your card, and the current year is programmatically calculated.

Also, remove the K from Kalldur, and we've got our new map's name! Boom.

Just to clarify sounds like inventories are wiped during transfer from Aevos to temp map, will temp map inventory transfer to the new map or that wiped too?
