100th Vote Bonus

We've already had quite a few votes cast through votifier and at the current rate we'll hit 100 within the next couple of days, so we've decided to give the person who casts the 100th vote a special bonus...

In addition to the usual number of Industrial Diamonds the person who casts the 100th vote will receive 10 extras, plus 5 will be given to every other player who is online at the time!

The extra diamonds can't be given automatically but player names will be logged, I'll be regularly checking so I can get them to you asap once the 100 mark is reached.

Good Luck!

Name Our Currency!

The economy is here to stay, but, it's a bit long winded having to keep saying 'in game money' on the website etc, so we need to come up with a name for our new currency....

We've had a couple of suggestions so far:

DiggyBucks or DiggyDollars - Jav0330

DiggyQuids - DigginChickin

If you'd like to make a suggestion then please make a comment below and we'll run a poll in a few days to pick from the best ones.

Downtime Tomorrow

There will be a short downtime and the server will be whitelisted for about 10-15 minutes tomorrow morning after the 9 am maintenance. This is to set up and test Vault, a plugin which will give us more options for adding new economy related features.

If you know of an interesting plugin that...

1. Is Minecraft 1.2.5 / Tekkit Classic compatible
2. Support Essentials Economy or Vault

...then feel free to send me a link with some info!

New Admin Store Open

The new Admin Store is now open!

You can still buy all the same items at the same prices in Trade-O-Mats, but you now also have the option to buy Protection Stones, Personal Safes & Bronze Wrenches for in game money as well.

Like the Enchantment Store you can exchange your Industrial Diamonds there as well as buy a couple of economy exclusive, Pet Dogs and Chain Armour!

Enjoy!

Update: 13:30 - Pet Ocelots have also been added!

Enchantment Store & Votifier

A new Admin store has opened in the Player Mall.... the Enchantment Store!

In this store you can use your in game money to buy specific enchantments for your tools, weapons & armour, all enchantments are available for prices that reflect the level of enchantment and rarity.

You can also use the exchange to trade between Industrial Diamonds and Diamonds.

The recipe for Industrial Diamonds was removed in a previous version of Tekkit, but they can still be spawned and when placed in a crafting table can be turned into a normal Diamond, making them perfect for use as an economy 'middleman'. 

Industrial Diamonds will now be given for votes made using Votifier, meaning you have the choice between whether to turn them into a Diamond, trade them with another player, or exchange them for in game money in the Enchantment Store (you will also be able to exchange them in the new Admin Store when it opens tomorrow).

As from tomorrow Industrial Diamonds will also be included as one of the 'Random Freebie' prizes, for those who were wondering there are two 'Random Freebie' events every 24 hours, always at least a few hours apart. 

Enjoy!

Down For Full Backup / Clone

I've taken the server down for a full backup / clone to make sure the test server includes all the recent changes, being a Monday morning it's always very quiet so I figured it was the best time, the server should be back up by around 9am (UK time).

UPDATE: 09:05 - Locked myself out of the house, currently trying to borrow a ladder so I can climb through a window (posted from my phone)!

UPDATE: 09:45 - I'm in! I'll just check over everything and hopefully get the server back up in 5-10 minutes.

UPDATE: 09:50 - Server is back up and whitelist is removed, sorry about the delay!
