Hourly Bonus Replaced By Play Time

Ahead of the plugin update on Sunday I have switched the hourly bonus to be handled by the OnTime plugin, here is a basic breakdown of what this change means for players:

Old Bonuses & Rewards:

Hourly Bonus: $100 + 2 Apples
1 Hour Playtime Reward: 2 x 30135
4 Hour Playtime Reward: 2 x 30135

New OnTime Reward:

Hourly Playtime Reward: 1 x 30135 + 1 Apple

Typical players will be getting roughly the same overall, players who play for 5 or more hours will be effectively getting an extra $50 an hour compared to the old bonuses & rewards.

Enjoy!

Downtime Scheduled For Sunday

There will be a scheduled downtime on Sunday morning (UK time) to do the following:

1. Perform full backup/clone.
2. Apply updated EE mod patch (includes possible fix for EE chests + buildcraft pipes).
3. Check config & test.
4. Update OnTime plugin to latest version (should fix a couple of small issues). 
5. Test plugin update.
6. Switch vote rewards to be handled by OnTime (will reduce overhead).
7. Test changes.

Steps 6 & 7 will only happen on Sunday if a particular plugin bug has been fixed, I'll update here as always.

Scheduled Downtime:

Date Time: 29/12/13

Est Start: 09:30 to 09:45 am

Est End: 10:45 to 11:00 am
