Could you perhaps make it so that Town owners can still spawn them in their towns

Unfortunately no, because this would allow town owners to spawn a wither that breaks no blocks upon creation and life meaning they become cake to fight.

Ah yes, this hadn't occurred to me, nevermind.

• Battleground bug fixed again (pretty sure this time )
• Tuned the arena matchmaking system a bit

 

[Cryptite]

• NEW: Added a roleplaying channel. Please keep this channel's use to only roleplaying or in-character use.
• Join the roleplaying channel by using /ch join rp. You can leave it with /ch leave rp
• To speak in the roleplaying channel, use /rp
• An "/rptoggle" is not available at this time, but if there is public outcry for it, I can add it.

If such a time comes when we have other channels, the /ch command will be how you access it. For now, however, the "rp" channel is the only such available channel and the help for /ch will reflect as such.

  In-character use?
  What about those of us who have only been playing for about 3 months and don't really have a "part" in role play?

 

[Cryptite]

I think you're thinking about the 'server-wide RP events' when you say that, but the Roleplaying channel is meant to be for anybody and everybody to be able to converse, in-character, about whatever they please. The RP channel is by no means off-limits to anybody, but it is expected that you stay in-character and try to keep the off-topic conversation to public, private, or town chat.

Also, while you say you don't have a part to play, Jedi, and whether it's taken seriously by the thieves or not, your desire to roleplay is much stronger than many people who've been playing on this server for over a year. I'm proud of your desire to roleplay, even if others make fun of it.

I looked at this for a while, trying to think a response, but the only thing I could come up with is:

This made me happy to read. : )

 

[Cryptite]

• NEW: Added /rpe. This acts just like /me but broadcasts only to the rp channel, giving RP Channel users the ability to emote separately from normal chat text.

 

[JocelynReed]

do we have an official time and date for the new world?

 

[Cryptite]

Aiming for this next weekend. A world seed has finally been picked and the process of finalizing the new world is underway.

 

[Deathstrider]

Can you post the seed on here before the move? would be nice to scout out the map

 

[Cryptite]

Nope

 

[Deathstrider]

Okay How bout after? XD

 

[Magpieman]

The seeds of the map will never be posted as you can simply cheat and it removes some of the mystery.

 

[adderman500]

Ores will be in the same places so it's like effectively having xray. You can mark locations of dungeons etc, so yeah, not a good idea.

 

[Deathstrider]

Oh yeah, didn't think of that XD

I just wanted to find a cool extreme hills biome

 

[Cryptite]
