Below is everything that has been changed in the EULA network update.

New Server Gamemode
Beta of a gamemode named "something (we haven't decided on a name yet)" will be released soon. This is a new gamemode with substyle gamemodes that have special programmed PvP kit classes that will encourage teamwork. The first subgamemode released will be TDM for balance testing. Individual kit stat tracking is already active and will be on the website. Each kit will have an xp system to unlock stronger and/or different style of items that you can customize in a future update (within the week). A more detailed post on the gamemodes and the kits (beta and future) will be coming soon (we plan to release all kits within a week so we can balance test).

Network/Donation changes
- All soup and faction donations have been removed from purchasing on buycraft.
- Individual soup token multipliers have been disabled.
- Permanent donator has been increased to $30 dollars because of losing almost 33% of our income from soup and factions (and new gamemode + donator being global now)- 1 month donator remains the same price. This means you need to donate 6 times to be promoted to permanent rank, instead of 4. This has to be manually requested on the donator forums.
- Notag group has been removed globally - you are now forced to show your donator tag. This is to make the next bullet easier.
- Donator ranks are now global on all servers. It comes with colored names on all servers(shared), unlimited ranked matches on potion, pick which team you are on in the new gamemode, and the ability to join full servers/teams (we will try to prevent locking out non-donators at all costs, so this is never an issue).
- Youtube/Famous/Twitch are now global on all servers except factions. Donator rank doesn't sync instantly on factions, only syncs on faction reboots.
- New Donator transfers and rank transfers will be denied until further notice.
- All musketeers and higher on factions will automatically be grandfathered into permanent donator on the server (this does not apply to new musketeers after update). This donator rank is non-transferable.
- All squires on factions will automatically be grandfathered into the knight rank.
- Fixed a zero day exploit that resulted in skids' ability to lag out bungee (note: this hasn't been patched in stable bungee yet so no details will be given out - it has been reported directly to md_5 though).
- All servers have been updated to 1.7.10 (you can use any 1.7 client and be able to connect)
- Permissions are now shared between Potion, Soup, and the new gamemode.
- Damage indicators no longer work

Rule Changes
- Moderators are only required to keep video evidence for two days. If you do not appeal within 2 days of your ban, video evidence may not be presented.
- Attempting to be a lawyer and lecture the owners on what and what is not allowed with the new EULA will get you a very smart ass response and/or a ban from the network. You are not a lawyer, don't instruct us like you are one.

Potion Server changes
- You can no longer lose rating when you win.
- Unranked queues now exist for all 1v1 queues.
- If you are out of ranked matches and click the ranked sign, you'll automatically be added to the unranked 1v1 queue and instructed that you are out of them, and that donating or voting will give you more.
- Fixed a logging issue that would cause server lag spikes/halts.
- Blocked interaction with chests while in a queue so you cannot glitch items into ranked/unranked matches.
- Donator only signs no longer exist, everyone has access to them now.
- "fixed pot lag"

Soup Server changes
- You can no longer lose rating when you win.
- Personal soup token multipliers have been removed (tokens bought from buycraft will not be removed, but unbuyable now).
- Fixed an exploit that involved putting items into your inventory that you currently didn't have.

Faction Server changes
- Fixed several event bugs.
- Fixed warden invisibility issues.
- Squire rank no longer exists.
- Ranks are now bought with in game currency. You will keep your current rank. Each rank must be bought before the next one can be bought. These prices are subject to change.
*Knights 500,000
*Musketeer 1mil
*Duke 2mil
*Archduke 4mil
*Princes 8mil
*Kings 16mil
- Leftover money at faction map resets will be put into a vault that can only be used for rank upgrades (no map reset currently planned)

EDIT: Faction donator tag isn't active yet, will be active when we are awake enough to care.

"fixed soup lag."

People will most likely complain about vacations, restrictions, etc due to the time limit, but in all honesty they were told where to go.



Unranked Archer and UHC, marvelous addition. Also, I'll enjoy not losing any rating anymore, thanks guys! :)




May I ask when this will be changed? (Effective immediately or soon). -Grabs wallet preparing to buy before increase-

Great job guys, looking forward to this in the future! :)

Thanks for the update, I'm happy to see some lag fixes and the fix for losing ELO in games that you win.
One question, does the update to 1.7.10 mean that you can only log on in 1.7.10, or is there a range of versions that you can log on with?

Posted on 31 July 2014 - 04:47 AM

There is no grace period. Their might be a sale sooner or later though.

Posted on 31 July 2014 - 04:53 AM

Just the server code is being fixed to 1.7.10 (in prepration for 1.8), the client can still use 1.7.x

Posted on 31 July 2014 - 06:33 AM

Will this work vice versa? @Archybot

Posted on 31 July 2014 - 06:53 AM

No, perm donators will not be given musketeer ranks because perm donator can still be bought.

Posted on 31 July 2014 - 07:10 AM

Alright, makes sense.

We were up for about 5 minutes until we found out that smelly had touched code

no

One of the bugs was smelly's fault, the other bug was craftbukkit's fault (they changed how entitydamage worked)

"fixed pot lag" - archybot

Posted on 31 July 2014 - 12:33 PM

nope abusing me NOPE NOPE NOPE

Posted on 31 July 2014 - 05:32 PM

say youre already a Archduke, do I only have to pay the difference, or do i have to rack up 8 million to upgrade to Prince?

Posted on 31 July 2014 - 08:41 PM

You have to rack up the 8 mil. Those prices are still subject to change but it's supposed to take you very long to get ranks past musketeer.

I freeze during any ranked matches at times, I lost a total of 71 ELO in the HCF Ladder because of this and it's really, really irritating. Got anything I can do to resolve the problem?

Is this due to fps lag or network lag? A few tips that helped me: Clear your mc logs every couple of days, don't play on muliti-core just use default on smooth, Don't use direction HUD as it makes you drop at least 50 frames (If you have a good comp this wont matter). Unrealistic things you could do: Move house to near where the server is hosted because aussi connection is not good as you know. Or if the problem is fps lag get a new computer.

I hope this helped :)

Okay so I'm a permanent donator on Pots. Does that mean I'm going to have that Donator tag on all the networks? I got confused sorry :(

Posted on 06 August 2014 - 03:48 AM

Yes, you already do.
