Price drop on fast travel

2015-04-20 00:00:00 +0000 UTC by FireLordZuko

We have lowered the price required to use our fast travel system significantly.

After receiving player feedback and doing some internal testing we have concluded that the prices for fast travelling were set too high. We have decided to lower the prices by 60 %.

If you have any suggestions or feedback we'll be happy to listen.

Major changes

2015-04-18 00:00:00 +0000 UTC by FireLordZuko

IMPORTANT UPDATE
We disabled using shears on wool blocks so it's a little more fair to the attacking side. The defending side could previously just have an airbender hop in and destroy the wool within a matter of a second which was a little unfair. So from now on, people will have to actually destroy the wool block instead of smacking it once with shears.

Hey everyone,

Time to push out a big change! We are making some changes, so be sure to read this entire message! :)

1. We disabled teleportation to town outposts. From now on you can use our fast travel system in the cities to get around (costs some Yuans) or use the free Saito Railways system. You are also able to locate your outposts if you would like to visit them by typing /town outpost, this will show you the list of the outposts you currently have and their coordinates.We are incredibly sorry for having to take this step, but as we already mentioned, we are trying to mimic the Avatarverse as closely as possible and this is one of the steps we had to take.
2. We are changing the Towny War System. We enabled the system that forces players to claim chunks during a war from a border inwards. We finally got around to solving the bug that came with it, but with a side effect. Whilst fixing the bug another feature has disappeared (yay spaghetti code!). There is no cooldown anymore between re-claiming a chunk after it was claimed during a war. We haven't gotten around to fixing that, but we would like to see how it turns out this way.We also significantly raised the price to claim a chunk to 10,000¥. If you successfully claim a chunk, you will receive a return of 2,500¥. We believe that it will make warfare a lot more strategical instead of claiming chunks randomly. We are always ready to change it in case it really turns out to be a bad idea, but same as with the cooldown change, we are testing the effects of this change. We added a small feature to the towny flags, they shoot out a rocket every time the color of the wool changes, so people can more easily locate them within a chunk.We also added a new rule: #16 - During warfare, you are not allowed to place any blocks (including water or lava) within a 3x3 pillar, surrounding the flag, extending to the build limit.
3. We are Re-enabling Pets again! They are a little more expensive now, since it's easier to make money, and we also made Sky Bison available for everyone. We did this because it has been shown in the series that numerous benders and non-benders of other elements have raised and ridden Sky Bison.We have also disabled Dragons for the time being, since they are incredibly overpowered and you can glitch through walls whilst riding them. There are more bugs with dragons and we will need a lot of time to fix these bugs. It's going to take a while before we re-implement the dragons.

Thank you for reading! :)

Towny administration changes

2015-04-15 00:00:00 +0000 UTC by FireLordZuko

Towny assistants are able to become a mayor if the town mayor is inactive for a longer period of time.

Hey everyone,

We have noticed that some mayors have gone inactive recently. This leads to their town being without a leader and without an option to have a leader. We would like to help you out in this case.

If you are an assistant and your mayor has gone inactive for over three weeks (you can check this by typing /resident [mayor nickname] ), you are able to replace his or her position by creating a ticket ( /t c [your message] ). We will investigate the situation and see whether you are allowed to become the mayor of your town.

Thank you for reading! :)

Spirit world reset

2015-04-12 00:00:00 +0000 UTC by Chiyo

Just an update for you guys. We've reset the spirit world and added the 3rd spirit portal. You might experience some lag while trying to enter and mine in the spirit world. This is because the world is still being generated.

The portals may not function straight away because of the stress the spirit world is under right now, but this problem should go away when the generation has been completed.
