Attention Players

Many of you may be wondering what happen when 1.14 releases on the 23rd. The administration team and I have sat quiet on this issue for quite a while. With each snapshot update, we have investigated the issues, bugs, and problems that updating our current map to the new update will cause. Our biggest concern was that with the areas already loaded by our existing map we are essentially preventing new players from experiencing the update in its entirety.

We have debated the issue back and forth concluding that it would be in the best interests of the server and community to reset the world. We also recognize that many players still have unfinished builds or want to gather screenshots/reference their current bases. For this reason, we will be running 1.14 and 1.13 in parallel and eventually will shut down 1.13 once the player base dies down. This decision was tough, however, with the rapidly dwindling storage space caused by the enormous map (Plus the areas already loaded by previous players preventing the new generation of the update), the recent publicity of the seed of our current map and the rampant abuse of bugs that Mojang has not yet implemented bug fixes for. We feel that with this new update our only course going forward is to start with a fresh map.

With little time to prepare we have made a new spawn area up (following feedback based on our current spawn) and reverted to a much simpler spawn. Taking elements from different versions of our spawns and builds that were never implemented.

Here are some of the changes to expect:

• Smaller world size to help combat storage issues (256k, 128k from spawn).
• New spawn combining the elements of the last 4 CraftyMynes spawns.
• New seed and all the features/generation of the 1.14 update.
• Same state of the art teleports and homes system.
• Upgraded lottery with new rewards.
• New race to kill the dragon.

After we double check the stability of 1.14 on the 23rd, 1.13 will move to "myne.fun:25566" and 1.14 will takes its place at "myne.fun". We will be opening our base download option again for the 1.13 map (find details here)
To make this as fair as possible, once we have 1.14 in our hands, we will set a release time.

@Malone Hello there, sadly starting with an issue on such a server with a great idea.
It says that I need to verify my account, but when I click to verify - nothing happens, thanks.

You are right, it was protected for high ranks only, so I never knew it wasn't working.

You know what you did wrong.

What you were doing threatens the server economy and is completely off limits on this server.

You will not be pardoned.

@Tez1010 Or people that donate nominate?

While I really like the idea, here are the issues I see with this. If it was one nomination per donation, then someone could just donate 100 of 1 cent donations and get 100 nominations for his own or his alt account. If we set a minimum donation price, someone could just a bunch of time and get VIP like 1/2 off. We could also do a weighted system but that would also cause issues if someone just donated 50% to force everyone else to buy his VIP at half off. We would also need to handle ties between players.

I think votes is the best way as it allows players who may not have the money to get VIP by showing their dedication in other ways.

@Th3GreenGamer Personally I think every 500 (or whatever number) of total votes, the person with the most votes within that 500 would be a decent system.

Or base it on each time we hit the threshold? So we get to $15 and it picks the top voter, or top voter who is default?

@FieryPhoenix64 Personly I think it should be the players who play the most, the freindliest or the ones most well known.

How would we decide this fairly and without people boosting someone if we did a poll?

I have started work on a system for this, I just need to figure out a way to select who is given VIP, maybe top voter each month, or top voter at the time of hitting the threshold? What do you all think?

***Profit?***

@JKELLER4000 I was thinking i should try to lowercase my name, but i am afraid if i change it it might cause my homes to get messed up.

and that would be very sad for me. as i know homes are tied to names.

so i am wondering can i change my name to lower case and still be ok?

Bit of an interesting case here (pun totally intended). Technically the panel system is case preserving (Keeps the case but it doesn't affect anything), however, the scoreboard system is case sensitive.

I would expect that your homes/inventory/forum name/forum rank/vote streak would be ok, but your credits/total votes/stats/ingame rank would get messed up.

In this case, we could probably migrate your stats over to keep them synced as long as your name didn't change spelling, only case.

@humfrydog So a month VIP+ upgrade is $15. If I am reading hestore page correctly. Ok cool

Yup!
