1.9 Changes

The server will be reset coming Tuesday (1 March) and there will be some changes to the server:
Here’s a list of notable changes:

• Factions / Towny:

  • Factions has been removed and has been replaced with Towny.
    • Towny has a lot of simularities with Factions
    • You can create a Town and players can join your town.
    • You can expand your land by buying more plots of land, the more players join your town, the more land you can buy.
    • You have to pay  a certain amount of money each day in order to keep your town.
    • The other members of your town also have to pay tax to you, you can set how much tax other members have to pay
    • You can also start a Nation together with other Towns.
    • I’ll make a detailed post about Towny after the reset.
