I don't know if you all remember bbgun, but he has just started his own factions server, which is essentially vanilla, (just a few minor plugins). I think it would be a good replacement, but I will leave that verdict up to you. The IP is us1-mc.servstrong.net:26925 -Jonhadji

Sounds great! I plan to be on with friends. I would love for it to go public. I have looked and looked for another server like the old faction one and everyone has overpowered voting rewards and ranks... I miss the old days.

Nathan! Jonhadji here. Once you get on, lets build a town together. You game or no?

1. Minecraft Username: Jonhadji (I hope you remember me 2. Are you willing to help out gather materials and build initial buildings for the spawn area? That I am. 3. Do you agree to abide by the rules? Of course. 4. After the whitelist is removed, will you be a contributing community member? Indeed. Count on it. 5. What do you plan to do on the survival server in the long run? Dominate and be awesome (with friends like dkdude7)

i dont know what is causing this, but im pretty sure it's server error, but correct me if I'm wrong. When trying to add an enchantment to an item (via books) that has already been enchanted, the anvil messes up and seems to "steal" your xp. Then the game just drops the items without the combined enchantments. However, when you re-log the xp is back. Here is a video of what happens. http://youtu.be/lMfiRp_yWuQ

The brewing kit is a fine idea, however the raid attachments one is far overpowered. Creeper eggs should never be allowed to be bought. It essentially tnt wherever you want it, faction land or not. It would mean that if anyone got in your base (who had GC) they could destroy all your doors and blow open all your chests. Not fun.

This^ Its a valid point and a good start.

And its full right now.

Also, if the ability to override the no-teleport-home-with-an-enemy-close rule by being on your own territory could be removed that would be awesome. Because as of now people use that to either run out and spam potions or to escape when they are about to die. I also see no positive reason to keep this ability either..

I fear none of the factions listed above. And deffinately not onyx. I attempted a raid on you guys today and the guy I was fighting fought back for a little bit, but when his god-mode-golden-apple ran out, he just teleported home :/

This is a great idea. Also sharpness IV and V to compensate.

I agree with all xDerpina's points, and then some. I feel like everyone is feeling the same here, and a lot of points have been risen. My main concern is how much damage has been done to the player base. After four terrible maps (The duping map, Build contest, gorilla, and now this) why would anyone really want to play, or come back to this server. If I wasn't in Janitors, I wouldn't be playing at all. And when the server is struggling to stay around 30 people and its 7000 blocks in diameter, raiding is stupid. It takes 30 minutes to get to a base with people in it only to sit outside because there is no fair way to get in. The lag is ridiculous, it has never been this bad. You can't fight, barely build or mine. I don't know if its worse for non-Europeans but its border line unplayable. I will add some suggestions. Why not let players be able to claim villages. This safe zone area is annoying and leads to all villagers being killed. If a village could be claimed and the villagers protected by a caring faction, there would be more on the map, and more to fight for. I can't stand how safe zone are used currently. Enchanting. The trickiest of all subjects. The current system is silly and does nothing but create a larger gap in enchants than there ever was before. I just want to see all Protections over 2 gone, all sharpness over 2 gone. Please don't touch tools. High level protection armor is too easy to get if you have a system and too hard to deal with if you are unequipped. I remember having 14 levels of protection on my armor and walking into a base with 8 people, most in full diamond. I killed them all, got full inventory of diamond armor and continued onto next base. There was no skill, you just can't die. It ruins the game. There needs to be a way to raid a base. Some way to siege it. Maybe tnt needs to be Buffed so it can destroy water cubes. Allow enderpearls back. Maybe even something crazy, such as, if a raiding player stands on a piece of claimed land for X amount of time, he is allowed to break blocks on it. If they leave that chunk, timer is reset. Also I would like to say in light of all the terrible ideas, the public end was a silver lining. I didnt agreed with derpina's post, (because I like enchanting and brewing) but this one is good. Other than the part about tnt breaking water or being about to break blocks after an amount of time, you raise some valid points, all of which I think everyone would like/ wouldnt mind seeing implemented.

First off, when are you all going to realize that notch isnt even working on minecraft anymore, it's jens... I agree with most of this. If high-level enchants on armor could be removed, that would be nice too. I think the power system is fine, limiting power by land is a bit dodgy. Removing water, or having a way through water is a horrible idea. Adding the ability to pearl anywhere again would be nice, but a way around water-walls is ridiculous. Even though I am for these changes, I do not want a map reset. I have put far too much time into this map to see it wiped clean. PS The idea of removing enchanting completely is a horrible one.

There are many tactless people in this world, and you, with this post, have shown yourself to be one of them.

enchanting is still stupid. Look at the topic about themonkeys best sword :/. But its not a chore........ also, its max lvl 8 on the map, you know that right?

This is a good idea.

They fixed the chore part of enchanting. Both in 1.3.1 and on minecraft.nl.....

As far as I know the player count is decresing really fast. It used to be 40/40 all the time, then it went to 100 and it was even full. Since that moment the server began loosing players. The same for the tf2 server, they're almost always empty. I don't know the solution, mayby we need to promote the server (Youtube ?) or increase the amount of tournament and/or special events (bonus xp / bonus gc). I know the Janitors will try their best next map and we'll see if it helps out. I think we need to find a way to promote both servers no matter how good the janitors do their thing. The numbers of players online IS dropping rapidly.Promotion sounds like a good idea.I think a big reason for the reduction in number of players is that many were waiting for a reset and then when it became the guerilla faction wars with no furnaces, etc. many people disliked that without trying it and gave up on the server. Exactly, several of my friends and I did just that. We werent excited about the guerilla wars so we decided to wait till the real reset. With the reset, heavy player activity will return, as the people like us will return. However, promotion for the server is a great idea, but I think changing it is a horrible one.

Why was the iron armor set removed from the green coins shop?

Player rate decreased during the creative mode/geurrilla wars phase, because a lot of people come here for "normal" faction wars, and this server wasnt providing. When the map resets, and everything returns to normal, player numbers should spike. Should the admins change any of the fundamentals of the game (potions, enchanting etc.) this will only hurt player activity more. The changes suggested here will only drive players away, as restrictions on gameplay tend to do.

Im having the same problem, so much that I starved down to half a heart and can do nothing to regain my health. After logging off and back in I was able to eat, but my health did not restore my health I had to use a instant health potion to live. After that my food bar stopped working again and I am currently down to half a heart. It's super annoying. I have no mods or enhancements to my client at all, just normal minecraft. Also, I have tried several types of food, with no avail. Please help.

I completely agree, if we wait till 1.3 a map reset will be awesome. However there was talk of doing it before that, which would not be as cool. Oh and emeralds will be pretty cool too.

-Added a “currency item” looks like that already done in the next snapshot...

Im all for waiting for 1.3 and if that takes too long, please wait until july instead of june. our faction has put quite a bit of effort into this new map and we would like to enjoy the fruits of our labor for a little while longer. thanks.

I agree, another map reset is a good idea. We had a good faction that was destroyed as a result of the faction reset, so we all quit, some of us potential donators. A map reset would re-kindle our interest in the server and bring us all back on.
