New Admin Store Open

The new Admin Store is now open!

You can still buy all the same items at the same prices in Trade-O-Mats, but you now also have the option to buy Protection Stones, Personal Safes & Bronze Wrenches for in game money as well.

Like the Enchantment Store you can exchange your Industrial Diamonds there as well as buy a couple of economy exclusive, Pet Dogs and Chain Armour!

Enjoy!

Update: 13:30 - Pet Ocelots have also been added!

Enchantment Store & Votifier

A new Admin store has opened in the Player Mall.... the Enchantment Store!

In this store you can use your in game money to buy specific enchantments for your tools, weapons & armour, all enchantments are available for prices that reflect the level of enchantment and rarity.

You can also use the exchange to trade between Industrial Diamonds and Diamonds.

The recipe for Industrial Diamonds was removed in a previous version of Tekkit, but they can still be spawned and when placed in a crafting table can be turned into a normal Diamond, making them perfect for use as an economy 'middleman'. 

Industrial Diamonds will now be given for votes made using Votifier, meaning you have the choice between whether to turn them into a Diamond, trade them with another player, or exchange them for in game money in the Enchantment Store (you will also be able to exchange them in the new Admin Store when it opens tomorrow).

As from tomorrow Industrial Diamonds will also be included as one of the 'Random Freebie' prizes, for those who were wondering there are two 'Random Freebie' events every 24 hours, always at least a few hours apart. 

Enjoy!

Down For Full Backup / Clone

I've taken the server down for a full backup / clone to make sure the test server includes all the recent changes, being a Monday morning it's always very quiet so I figured it was the best time, the server should be back up by around 9am (UK time).

UPDATE: 09:05 - Locked myself out of the house, currently trying to borrow a ladder so I can climb through a window (posted from my phone)!

UPDATE: 09:45 - I'm in! I'll just check over everything and hopefully get the server back up in 5-10 minutes.

UPDATE: 09:50 - Server is back up and whitelist is removed, sorry about the delay!

Economy Signs

The economy signs are now enabled, player creatable signs are as follows:

[Balance]

Putting [Balance] on the top line of a sign will allow players to right-click it to check their balance.

[Trade]

Player Trading Signs are somewhat more complicated because of all the options available, you can find a basic guide and link to a video tutorial on these in the 'Vote & Earn Money' section of the site.

The [Trade] signs do not need to be on a chest, they can store their own inventory!

You can use these in Stores at the Player Mall but please remember to keep at least 2 Trade-O-Mats stocked, mainly for players who do not wish to participate in the economy.

Admin signs will also be introduced soon giving you other entirely new ways to use your money, but this might take a few days to fully implement, in the meantime start saving!

Enjoy!

Votifier Enabled!

I've finally managed to get a Votifier listener working properly so it is now enabled for the following sites:

Planet Minecraft

Minecraft Server List

Tekkit Server List

You can find more details on the new 'Vote & Earn Money' section for more details and some other ways to earn in game money!

Economy Poll Results

The poll has now closed and 77% of you voted to enable Essentials economy!

It's a pretty clear cut result so over the coming days I'll gradually introduce new features and uses for the economy, for starters though I've enabled the following commands and added them to the 'Commands' section:

/bal or /money	- check your balance.
/pay <player> <amount>	- pays <player> the <amount> specified.

The following is available for players of Member rank or above only:

/baltop

- list the players with the top (highest) balances.

I've also added an 'overdraft facility' of $10,000 for VIP players as an extra perk!

All players have been given a $500 starter balance and new players will also be given this amount when they join!

Enjoy!
