Herocraft moving to a greylist mode!

[Kainzo]

We are prepping for the move to a "no whitelist" mode... which in turn uses a GREYLIST so all users can connect who aren't banned from Herocraft.

As a "guest" or greylist member you can:

• Level
• PVP
• PVE
• Collect items
• Steal
• Send Coin
• Speak in local/shout

As a "guest" you cannot:

• Place blocks
• Destroy blocks
• Talk in global chats (except tour)

Some things still need to be ironed out - I feel this is the right direction for Herocraft as a whole

 

[Troppics]

Wooo, I can see this bringing a lot more cool people to Herocraft


<3 Trop

Instead of having all global except tour blocked, could you block all of them and make a special greylist chat where only greylisted and guides/staff can speak in? That way the idiots who will inevitably join can't harrass the new whitelisters trying to get help.

Overall, this will likely greatly increase the amount of PvP in the world, which is a healthy thing for this server.

 

[Bonafideb3ast]

I cant agree with Alator more. I mean that way guides and staff can help them always and the regular whitelisted minecrafters dont have to always here them in say o.

I like it! I think the ''Guests'' should be restricted to mastering Classes and Professions only, however, and to not be able to train and level up in any specifications. For instance, they would reach level 30 Rogue, but have to become a whitelisted member to select and further train a spec, such as theif. This would kinda be a ''Become a member to recieve more skills'' moment.

Like the idea of having them NOT break blocks! Sounds like fun!

 

[Kainzo]

I'm a little split about the idea of not breaking blocks - but ultimately for the safety of the server it may be the best bet.

I'm glad people are liking this idea We've been the largest "white list" server for almost 2 years and it's time for a bit of a change up!

 

[Alator]

If they were able to break blocks, what really would be the point of whitelisting? Permission to build a house? I fear it's be grief-central if this was possible.

 

[MajorasMask]

Yeah, only whitelisted people should break blocks! We don't want people coming in and griefing everything!

How would guests acquire iron to make swords/hoes and whatnot

 

[eagles90809]

also, can guests talk in /tell?

Vote = earn coin, visit shops, buy sword ?
We could possibly setup workstations near spawn area to support the users and maybe have a few player driven shops to make weapons and sell them.

 

[agentjwall]

Perhaps guests could still mine materials in warshard?
Just a thought...

And I also agree that there should be a specific guest help channel to avoid any confusion.

 

[Thejoker1177]

Thanks so much kainzo! I made a suggestion like this a while back. Glad to see it being implemented.

 

[Hydroking77]

I have wanted this for some time. Here is my idea, they can break wood, stone, ores, and possibly place craftingbenches.

HOLY GOD The server is gonna be full,plus this is gonna be like double exp weekend .......every 10mins ban ban ban :O

I like the ideal it will help players that want to join the server get a feel of what there getting into.

 

[oo00lost00oo]

maybe we could have a grey list Town/area were they have the ability to remove blocks, lets them travel out side of town but only remove blocks from that area, like a noob only area, to prevent High lvl players from Camping the low lvl playes only have it accessible by the grey list.
Or maybe this could be a different small map 250/250 they have the ability to do all things there but dont have the ability to use main server services, like TD MA Towns Dhx, and restrict lvl to 30craft and 30 warrior so to spec they need whitlist until they are white listed then they can use a portal to the main server map (one way), this way if they like it they can white list and move to the real thing
dont know if this is possible, just a few ideas

 

[FracturedFusion]

I think overall, this is a great idea, but i have some suggestions for some restrictions to the Greylisted:
1.No EXP is gained from killing them.
2.People that are greylisted can not Start parties.
3.They battle to the death to see who stays.

They should drop exp on kill
