VIP Player Stores Now Available

Image
The VIP player stores are now available in the server hub for the donors and sponsors. They have 4 times as many Player vending machines so you can sell tons of items at the same time. They also have their own NPC vending machine. You can find them down a set of stairs at the player stores area of the player hub.

Hardware Upgrades

So over the last few weeks i've been busy upgrading,building,configuring and installing a whole bunch of stuff so let's break it all down =)  Main Server  -Added 2 SSD's in raid 1 and cloned over the os and everything to the raid from a single M.2. This means if a drive dies the server will still work just fine -Replaced the CPU IHS, It was already a delidded cpu with liquid metal now it has a aftermarket ihs. So it runs slightly cooler now (important especially during peak times)  New Servers  2 New Servers, One is a dedicated server for Nazy's Testing Grounds (Been hosting it on my main rig Until now) and is running Linux. The other is the Legacy Server. When a17 drops i'll transfer the current A16 server to the new server so i can let donators play the old servers and it lets me maintain the webmap so you can always feed your nostalgia New Network Gear  -New server grade network switch. Because of the new servers i needed more rj45 ports to connect ever

Server economy set up & Changes To Teleports

I've added the server economy now. You can now earn "Moogoos" and spend them in the server store to buy items. I've also made some changes to teleports to make it a bit more balanced so they now have a 10 second delay before sending you to your location. Teleports now also cost Moogoos that you can earn by killing zombies you get 3 per kill. Standard server locations cost 10 moogoos and places like the tree farm & lambs quest base cost 50. You can now also make your own teleport locations which cost 350 and set base now costs 500. You can create a custom teleport by using "/opentp [Tp name]" and "/close tp [tp name]. Full list of changes below have fun. =) -Players now earn "Mogoos" for each zombie kill and playtime (3 Moogoos Per Kill) -To see your balance type "/cash" in chat -You can spend moogoos at the server shop type "/shop" in chat to see what items you can buy -Your private teleports now cost 10 moogoos to us

Supporting The Server/s

Spent About £450 this Morning on some gear. Got a couple machines to Host the legacy Server/s & Server Management Software. This Means i can maintain the webmap of the old server and offer access to the legacy server/s. Also allows me to host the server bots myself and give the test server it's own bot and any future servers. I also got some other network gear to get everything working together (network switch,ethernet cables...etc) and more ram and drives.  It has made me realise how much it's all costing and i have decided to offer bonuses to people that "subscribe" to the server. I'll start by saying that if you have access to a certain bonus listed in the offers don't worry you can keep them for as long as the server is active =) and i'm not interested in turning the server into 7 Days To Pay. I don't want to offer anything that would be unfair or seem money grabbing. If you have any concerns about anything your more than welcome to have a ch

Finished My Final Project For A16

Image
For the first time since i started playing in 2013. I've actually managed to "finish" everything i wanted to. My final creation for Alpha 16 is the grand and luxurious Mile High Club. I was inspired by another player that had made a ladder to the top of the world and had a hay bale block to jump too. It was quite fun jumping off the top of the world and it was quite a view from the top so i wanted to make something similar in the Peninsula that you could see everything from. It doesn't really have any practical purpose but hey it's fun =)
