Herocraft 4.0
First off, this is scheduled for August 31st @ 5pm CST - there are massive issues with plugins and other things. This will be a COMPLETE wipe. Maps have been archived and all coin/levels/titles (minus Prophet) will be removed. To appease you. We will be releasing the current Dragon map to the current server (current ip = herocraft.zapto.org) and allow for you to play out your remaining days until the great cataclysm. Also, you can access TeamSpeak 3 via TS.herocraftonline.net


Why we're cleaning up:
  • Age of map and corrupted biomes/seed changes.
  • Several things need to be reworked and redone that a simple patch cannot fix.
  • DDOS brought down our primary box (it's in transit for repair)
Improvements & Changes (Not exactly set in stone)
  • Better starting setup
    • Crafters now have basic survival skills (SummonPick/Warp)
    • Level 10 and below players cannot PVP.
    • Completely new introduction / tutorial area.
  • Township changes
    • Township banks (both for upgrades and weekly tax).
    • Township tax (now gets deducted every 7 days).
    • Township automation of protection.
    • Township protection now works chunk by chunk (bed to sky)
    • Township titles for Mayor/SIC.
    • A hard cap for townships of (25) - number may change.
    • Massive boxy walls and glass domes = ILLEGAL (will be torn down by admins)
  • Leveling Rate
    • Slightly increased the amount of exp lost on death.
    • Greatly decreased the time to master combat specializations.
  • PVP Protection
    • All pvp-off areas have been reduced greatly.
    • Only the immediate and necessary areas have pvp-off.
    • Tutorial area pvp off to introduce newbies to the game.
  • Spawn Plots/Shops
    • Completely automated with BuyRegion
    • "spawn" plots are rented for lesser prices every 2 weeks to a month
  • Economy Changes
    • Gold no longer trades for high coin.
    • Emerald is the new currency item.
    • Trade District will be overhauled/changed.
  • The Nexus / Multiverse
    • Museum Maps.
    • Special Maps/Events.
    • Creative Worlds.
  • Quest EXP
    • (Not done yet)
  • Donation Revamp
    • Changed the perks around.
  • Staff Changes
    • New Admin -> Alator
  • The Greylist
    • All players can connect to Herocraft
    • Whitelisted players can global chat, place/destroy blocks
    • Donating will get greylisted users build rights.
  • Anti-Glitch Prevention
    • Added Chest Fixes - no more block-lagging into chests (Needs testing)
  • 1.3 Changes
    • Enderchests (Probably going to Merchant).
    • Villagers will be highly sought after to trade.
This is a short list - the more detail list is posted here.

I'm confused. So map will stay the same, but everything else will be wiped?

Excuse me while I go lay in bed, watch some chick flicks, stuff my face full of chocolate ice cream, and sob.. I'm not crying for what it'll do in the game, I'm crying for what it'll do to my plans for our Tumblr... T.T
