15 Years of Loka
Can't believe we've made it this long!
Hard to imagine any Minecraft server lasting 15 years (let alone most video games) but here we are! Alive, kicking, and doing better than ever! We reached where we could to pull out the stops for a variety of updates and content to celebrate this extraordinary milestone. Let's kick off the post and talk about what's coming.Can't believe we've made it this long!
Docks Renovations
For the first time in over 10 years, the Docks of Kalros, Ascalon, and Garama have received major updates.
Originally meant to release in early December, our dev team decided they wanted to cook and cook they did. Our new docks speak for themselves once you see them and should last us plenty of time and have lots of room for new PvE content and more!For the first time in over 10 years, the Docks of Kalros, Ascalon, and Garama have received major updates.
- Visual Overhaul: Complete redesigns to make the contrast between Aladra and the continental docks a bit less jarring. Building techniques have improved across all of Loka and not just Aladra!
- Capital Theming: The docks will have opportunities for theming that the continent capital can show off
- Banners, Wool blocks, and candle blocks update to your capital's color.
- Guard NPCs names and also skins change based on your capital's color.
- The ability to choose from any of your current banner's pattern colors in case your banner's base color doesn't best represent the primary color on your banner.
- New Life: Populated with new NPCs and details.
- Lots of NPCs
- Most are just for texture for now and will have Real Purpose later.
- Secrets, details, lore, room for Questing, and more!
- Lots of NPCs
Some Love for Fishing!
A bit of love, features, polish, and updates to expand on our Fishing!
Real Rewards!A bit of love, features, polish, and updates to expand on our Fishing!
Fishing can net you some real rewards an money now. A new avenue to make money!
- All new loot tables for fishing in the seas around Loka. Get some real rewards!
- Differs based on where you fish!
- Luck of the Sea has a 10% chance per level to grant an additional reward when fishing in addition to a caught fish.
Each new dock has a Fish Buying vendor that will purchase your caught fish from you! Priced based on the fish size category (small, large, monster, etc)
- Same GUI as the Ore Trader, except you put fish in!
- Make money!
Cook those crazy big fish you have.
- Larger fish take longer to cook, but are worth way more in restoring food and saturation.
- Cooked fish lose most of their fancy lore but cook down into 1 size class. So all the different Larges will collapse into just Large Salmon, etc.
- New and better rewards for winning the Fishing Tournament.
- A full loot table specific to fishing at the tournament. It's worth participating even if you don't win!
- A nice simple scoreboard for tracking top fish catch, number of fish caught, fishers, etc.
- Fish now have modern lore (under the -----) that will stick around when loring/signing raw fish, etc.
- Lots of new Fishing Achievements!
- Sounds for interacting with fish in your inv changes based on its weight. Heavier fish are... meatier...
- Haldii at spawn has been fixed up a bit to display the monthly, and all time fish caught a bit better.
