6 Month Anniversary

The Tekkit Classic server is 6 months old  this weekend!

Remember to join us between 9:30am and 9:30pm on Sunday for a very special hourly freebie, the opening of the new Player Mall, judging of the Waterslide Challenge, a treasure hunt and more!

Rough schedule:

9:30am and 9:30pm - Special hourly freebie.
9:30am and 9:30pm - 6 x random giveaways.
10:30am - 10:45am Player Mall opening.
11:00am to 12:00pm - Treasure Hunt.
3:00pm to 4:00pm - Challenge Judging.

Player Mall Replacing Player Market

The Player Market at spawn has served us well for the last 5 months but after much feedback we decided it was time for some changes so we've completely redesigned it as the Player Mall, the new building will be moved into place on the site of the old one this Sunday (1st September) to coincide with our 6 month anniversary.

What stays the same?

Just like the old stalls the stores can be rented FREE for players of MEmber rank or above.

The basic rental rules are the same and there will still be free cake and unclaimed loot chests.

What's changing?

Instead of 21 player stalls the mall will contain 28 player shops.

Stores are much bigger than the old stalls (5x4x5), you could easily fit in 8 trade-o-mats if you wanted to, although the minimum is just 2 to give you more flexibility.

Stores can be heavily personalised, you can decorate the inside as you wish (covers are recommended for flooring and decorating walls etc) as long as the store is usable and not offensive to anyone.

You'll need to come up with a store name to go above the entrance, this can be whatever you want as long as it fits on 2 lines of a sign and again is not offensive etc.

What about my stall?

If you already have a stall then please clear your items from your trade-o-mats before Sunday morning, you will also be entitled to first choice on a store so please message DiggyWig or DigginChickin if you would like to reserve one.

We'll be clearing out any empty / out of stock stalls over the next couple of days to speed up the move, any items still in the trade-o-mats will be put in your inventory or in a chest at your home if you don't have enough space. If we clear out your stall we will send you a message to let you know and offer you a reserved store in the new mall.

Can I still rent a stall?

No. Stalls are now being removed as they are emptied in preparation for the mall opening, the mall building will be in the same location that the market currently occupies.

How long will it take to switch from the Market to the Mall?

The switch should take about 20 minutes.

New Commands added for all players

Some of you already noticed you could do this but it is now officially included on the commands page, now available to all ranks:

 /region list

This displays a list of all regions that you either own or are a member of, if you own it a '+' will be shown next to it (on the left), if you are only a member then a '-' will be shown next to it (on the left).
Protection Stones are named after their coordinates, e.g. the stone for a region with the name ps173x-76y1514z could be found at X:173 Y:-76 Z:1514.

/region info

This displays information about the protected area you are in, but only if you are either it's owner or added as a member.
This information includes the regions name, coordinates of the protected area and a list of owners & members.

If you were wondering about the lack of posts recently it's because I was on holiday!

September Challenge - You Have Spoken!

For the second time the monthly challenge has been chosen by you from a selection of player submitted ideas, the voting has now closed and although it was very close we do have a winner!

The September Challenge will be... Pixel Art

I'll start working on the details and will post them here in the near future, thanks to everyone who voted, this is going to be another fun one to judge!

The other ideas submitted will be reused for the poll next month along with any additional ideas submitted, if you'd like to make a suggestion just drop me an email, skype message or in game /mail if you're a high enough rank, I'll need at least one or two extra ideas before I can put the poll together.

Free Golden Apples Ends Tomorrow!

Tomorrow the hourly free food changes from Golden Apples to normal apples so make the most of the golden ones while you can!

I can also confirm that to mark the 6 month anniversary of the server becoming open rather than whitelisted there will be an extra special hourly freebie on Sunday 1st September between 9:30am (the time the whitelist was removed) and 9:30pm, you are not going to want to miss this!
