PvP Server Update

37 votes

As you may or may not know from my previous post, we've been trialing new things for the PvP server.  And as for a quick update, we have decided to ditch AntiCheat as it hasn't been able to perform the way we would like.  So on a good notice, we have switched to NoCheat+ in hopes of solving issues related to users hacking and etc.  Like previously, we unbanned any affected users who were banned due to problems regarding AntiCheat.

PvP Fight Club update

84 votes

Here's a response to the PvP questions that have been popping up lately:

Spawn: The pvp spawn has been moved further on to provide fresh new land for mining and mischievous griefing for the bored ones. The spawn area is setup roughly the same however has a slightly wider 'no build zone' around it. All random spawn signs (including those at the old spawn) will drop you somewhere near the new spawn.

AFK: There has been many complaints about people AFK'ing to avoid combat. AFK commands have now been blocked, however if you stand around idle for 60 seconds, you will be protected by the auto-afk system.

Considerations: We are considering a few things for the PvP server:

  • Inter-spawn Portal - we understand some people have setup base near the old spawn and don't want to move up, so we will implement a portal between the spawns if we get some positive feedback on that idea.
  • Entirely new map - there have been quite a few people wanting a new map - voice your oppinions below.
  • New map + new inventories - again, voice your oppinnions.

What happens on the PvP server is really up to you!

Edit2: Mollstam has seen the issue and is probably fixed now. Tweet

Minecraft Session servers are experiencing trouble at the moment and this will cause you to not be able to join any SMP server.

This post will be updated when servers become reachable!

PvP Update - Spawn Camping Issue

101 votes

We have had numerous complaints about spawn camping on the PvP Fight Club server.

Just to be clear: This is not against the rules.

However, in order to find the balance between having a no rules server and having upset new players getting nowhere, we have decided to add a little feature to give those just starting off a fair chance.

Random Spawns

When joining for the first time or respawning, you will still go to the spawn point as usual, but you will now see signs like the below picture which you can right click to be sent to a random location. The location won't be extremely far from spawn, so you don't lose your bearings.

RandomSpawn signs will send you to a location away from spawn.

Apologies for the disruptive game play on the game servers today as I performed performance upgrades on both of the servers.

Both servers are back up and running now - (with better performance I hope).

SMP Server Updated to 1.3.1

70 votes

WoM Public SMP has been updated to 1.3.1

Most of you heard through the grapevine that were working on a new map for this update, which is now live!

But what about my builds and stuff on the old map??!?D:? - We are running multiple maps off the same server now (kinda like WoM Realms) so we have both the old map and the new one!

Existing members will still go back to where they were last standing on the old map, new members will go straight to the new map. People on the old map can get to the new map by using the portal at spawn or typing /spawn. You can return to the old map using a portal.

The old map is still playable, however we encourage members to move to the new map, we may make the old map read-only after a certain time frame, plenty of warning will be given.

Build Moves will be organised shortly. Please note: Only good quality structures will be approved for moving.

Portals - We now have portals to help you get around the maps/worlds. These can be found in world spawns and will be slowly rolled out across various locations by our Portal Rollout Team (highly trained monkeys, you know the drill).

/sethome - If you /sethome on the new world it will replace your /home tp location on all worlds. If you have lost your old home due to this, don't fear we have your old /home locations saved.

There will no doubt still be quite a few small issues to iron out, please let us know below if you come across any issues.

Last but not least, Happy Birthday Lunick!

- WoM Team
