Due to a lot of problems with Bukkit, we cannot update the server to 1.8 unfortunately. Instead, there will be a map reset for 1.7 again on Saturday, September 20th at 9:00 AM Dutch time. Server-wide changes: Players will automatically join the factions server when logging in (survival and creative can still be joined through portals at spawn). The duels and diamond armor FFA from the PvP server will be merged into the Factions server. The old FFA with iron armor and killstreak upgrades will also be added to factions. Changes to Factions: The enchanting limits of Protection II, Sharpness III, etc, wil be removed. Instead, experience gain will be boosted by a factor of four. Vanilla explosion mechanics. Potions will be set to 1.5 mechanics (healing potions are stronger, strength potions weaker). All potion bans will be lifted! Potions will be easier to get (haven't decided how yet) All ore spawn rates will be doubled. Snowball marker system will be removed A Star Cache system will be setup. Treasure will regularly spawn every hour at certain locations if enough players are online, and factions must fight to claim the loot. Possibly a delayed GC shop in-game (uncertain). If something doesn't work out, we can always change it. Feel free to give feedback <kodauer> RedGander is sexy </kodauer>
