How long away do we think it is till the monsters are working ?
There will still be a vote for monsters to be turned on, do we need a world restart if monsters are on ?
We have already lost some players due to last world restart people don't like seeing there hard work been lost.
Monsters On or Off
World restart Yes or No
We are going to lose players ether way

That's part of the argument tho, Gar. People need to realise this is not a finished product. It's Alpha.

Expecting that the world should not be restarted in an Alpha build game is nuts! Well, maybe I'm being a bit harsh here, but you see my point.

Perhaps people should not get too attached to their "hard work" in an Alpha build game, where bugs can corrupt the whole world overnight, and new features can change the game entirely?

I couldn't agree more.
 
Weird how it's always the people who haven't built much who don't mind a world restart. I wonder why...

Try spending hours and hours building multiple towers, etc. only to have it vanish. A second time would be frustrating.

I worked as hard as others on the Parthenon and other structures in server 1. Restarting the world just gives us an opportunity to create new structures with new ideas. Our previous work is not lost, it's just not in use at the moment.
 
Not having a vote is your call, but I guess it means those of us not currently playing will be looking for a different server when we do decide to play (when SMP is fixed).

eh? :confused:

If you're not playing on the server why should you have a vote on if the people who are playing on it get their stuff wiped?

This is why I asked this question
How long away do we think it is till the monsters are working ?

I agree with you 100% it's not a finshed game & when it's released as beta then we should have a new world.
But.... I will not make that call with out a vote.
We could be looking at 3-6 months till monsters are working before then players will prob want a new world anyway, or it maybe next week.
If monsters are added to the world we have now within a week of seeing there hard work getting smashed up by monsters, a re desgined world will be needed anyway.

I would not worry about it at the moment, there are no monsters working at this point on the server so just play the game as it is now.

Yes, its Alpha, yes its got bugs, but just because it 'goes out of Alpha' doesn't mean you have to restart just because every other game does :p

If it works from Alpha to Beta, whats the problem? I pretty much go wherether anyone else goes, if everyone went onto a new server, i'd go there.

I dunno, we'll see what happens, maybe once it goes to Beta something will happen so we HAVE to restart...god knows
 
If an update breaks the game in any way and we need a restart then of course we just have to accept it, I don't mind starting again tbh. But just having random restarts for the sake of it is annoying.

I think Garsands has made pretty much made all the right decisions so far.
 
I have added more items to the shop more to come over next few days.
I am having to make up the prices as there is no template to follow so its not easy.

The buy & sell ratio has been change to 10:1

I dont want to make it to easy for players to make money using the shop but to start trading with each other.

The shop is there to add something extra to game play & not to replace mining & making items yourself.
 
I dont think that works yet but the mod maker is working on it.
For the time being type /money ? & it should give you the command to send money to a player.
Send money to player then the player would need to pass you the item(s) in person.

When I have set the shop up fully I will list commands on the 1st or 2nd post on this thread as I need to make other things more clear on the first two posts.
 
Any ideas how the lag is now? Me and Linda were having problems last night, often having to cut / mine blocks multiple times before they disappeared for good. Fancy playing tonight.
 
Seems a bit better atm but still a bit laggo.

input had an accident near pae0ns house, so i've rebuilt it as best I can from the cartograph (roof burnt down).
