Hey guys,

     Rowe told me to post this here so, here we go. About 2 hours ago, give or take, I tamed 3 wolves and returned home. I gave 2 of them rotten flesh and bred a pup. I fed the pup and had it grow to adult size, then game all 4 dogs a yellow collar. I kept them sitting in my house.

     About an hour ago, I tped home from some mining to find that my "dogs" were still sitting, but for some reason, their eyes were like a wolf's, and they lost their collars. I thought that was odd and tried to feed one and it spawned hearts, but didn't get up when I right-clicked it. So it was not just a graphical bug. I punched one to get it to stand up, because, if it were still a dog, it wouldn't attack me back, right? Wrong. It got red eyes and made the other "sitting" wolves turn against me and nearly killed me- I tped to spawn just in time. I was in a panic on chat for a while, and KatNip had no idea what was going on, maybe a problem with the plugins, and Rowe didn't know, either. Like  I said before, he recommended me to post it here for discussion.

     Currently, I await an answer or solution to this, and am keeping the (now non-hostile) wolves in my house, as I am out of bones, and cannot re-tame them. I also don't want to go through their reversion again. Also, please know that there are many users with dogs playing, and I hope they don't make the same near-fatal mistake I did. So please, if you have any idea on what's going on, please help me out. Thank you!

Whats your plans now that we got this brand new world! I finally found my new home and heres all the stuff I wanna do:

Terraform The Island
Build a Modern House
Make a farm area
make a railway to various areas
make an underwater dome village
make a huge dock for plenty of ships
Make a shiping teleport system
make a mining town/area/thing
link everything I list to the above Ship/Rail network
make a new and drasticly improved Nether Base
Rebuild my Pirate Ship & Airship
& MORE!

This is an informative announcement in case some are confused why the server's whitelisted again. Periodically, we've been seeing people log in with their old inventories intact, including their enderchests. Naturally, this means there is huge potential for very overpowered items to come in too soon, giving them big advantages, as well as giving some people certain things they really shouldn't have in our new world order. While we've applied a band-aid fix to the tutorial in the form of deleting all of a player's items when they leave, that's not a perfect fix, as it also means anyone who accidentally gets sent there for whatever reason is stuck there until a staff member rescues them, unless they're okay with losing their current items - and that's if they're even aware of the problem!

In addition, we've had strange behavior from some players periodically logging in with flight - which is not only supposed to be turned off for the next two weeks, but also leaves them actually unable to turn it off since they can't use the /fly command! Before things get too far along, we want to get these things fixed, but we didn't want to shut things down during server prime time, because they're not actually going to be fixable until Frost wakes up and has a go at the server files. So, now that there aren't going to be any staff members around to keep an eye on things, we're closing shop for the night until we can fix the issues.

Whenever I try to chat, the spambot goes apeshit and tells me i have to move to chat

I understand why, but like
Wtf is the point of minechat then? 
You might say just tpa
I trust like 
No one lmao

So uh
Idk what you can do about this or what i expect you to do because I am a dumbshit


Pleshallppppppp

Minecraft name: Leafgor

Reason for your ban: I haven't been forgotten apparently

Who banned you: No clue

Why should you be unbanned: I was unbanned long ago and then became banned again for no reason

Why do you want to come back: To play Minecraft on hometownmc


PS Just curious, who banned me? I logged on one day to find myself unbanned and I even played for a couple of days which let me to meet some people who I hadn't talk to in ages. I have reformed since then, which I suppose I can't give you any credible reason to believe me for, but I assure you I have.

So i've been VIP2 for the longest time. I love the server and i love what VIP2 gets me. My friend (Clearcalculation) has had VIP3 for awhile. One of the biggest allures to it, for me, was the ability /feed. Now with the new server reset i decided i would bump myself up to VIP3. One of my first questions when i got in was if it, /feed, still worked to which i got a yes response to. But come to find out 10-15 min later it actually doesn't exist. Now the only real benifit for going up to VIP3 from 2 is the unlimited /homes and 200 igc. But is that really worth the $15 upgrade? Will /feed be coming back? (Somehow i doubt it.) Not only that but, and i know its not the Server's fault, VIPs no longer get a Discount on Warps like they used to get, which was another big draw to buying VIP.

Ladies and mentlegen, it's finally time! While there are still a few loose ends to clean up, we are finally ready to re-open HomeTown to the public, at 6PM Pacific Standard Time! (That's in about an hour and a half after this posting if you're not timezone-savvy. Spread the word!) We've updated a bunch of plugins, culled out stuff that didn't work, and now have a brand-new world for your building pleasure. We wanted to put more time between the announcement and opening, but... I think it's safe to say we've already waited a lot longer than we expected!


What's Changed?

So with our grand re-opening, some things have changed pretty significantly.

Economy! With a new server comes a new, hopefully more successful, economy system! Gone are the days when new players can join the server with enough money burning in their pockets to buy 70 diamonds. Everyone now starts from scratch, with nary a penny to their name. So how does one make money, you ask? Well, voting gets you $60 now - sounds like a lot, right? Ha ha ha NO. Voting is no longer the primary source of income - instead, it is now possible to sell select resources to the server shop at /warp shop, consisting of mining items and wood. You can sell gravel, granite, andesite, diorite, obsidian, redstone blocks, gold ore, and iron ore to the store - take notice that says ORE and not ingots, as well as oak, birch, spruce, and jungle logs, as well as their leaves, to offer an incentive for people to take some shears and cut up those tree leaves instead of leaving them floating around! Diamonds will NOT be offered in the store, but our intention is that they will start at a minimum value of $100 each, the same value as one stack of iron ore. Players are free to regulate the economy on their own, but you're going to want to get your money's worth for your work, am I right?

Warps! Players are now able to set their own warps! Typing /warp in-game will bring up a GUI in which a player can view lists of existing warps, as well as set their own, even for public or private use, no staff input required! With the new economy, warps are now $500 each, or the price of five diamonds. Changing warps is 20% of the price as before, so $100. Unfortunately, with our new warping plugin comes a few shortcomings, as it is a relatively new plugin: VIPs might be dismayed to hear that we are unable to offer the VIP warp discount anymore - the plugin currently does not support offering different prices to different ranks. In addition, the warps currently do not work with horses. We've left a comment for the plugin author to consider adding this functionality in, so keep your fingers, toes, and eyebrows crossed!

Grief Prevention! We have now switched from Protection Stones to using GriefPrevention's golden shovel land claim functionality. Details can be found at our new /warp protect, but basic info you'll want to know is that players start with 500 blocks worth of land claiming (that's calculated by flat area, not by 3-D volume), which claims from 5 blocks below your claim up to the sky. Every time you vote, you will gain an additional 64 blocks of space, meaning you will increase your allotted space by one chunk each day. If that's too slow for you, we will also have signs to buy more space at a rate of $256 per chunk, a dollar per block basically. But our dedicated staff team will still fix any grief incurred, even if you were unable to claim an area. Always! Usually. Sometimes. When we're not on our doughnut break, maybe.


However, as I mentioned, there are a few loose ends to clean up. So listen up!

For two weeks minimum, flight and speed are unavailable. We don't like restricting VIPs, as they've donated to help keep us afloat, but in the interest of keeping the game fair and fun for all people involved, we can't allow such powerful commands to be used until everyone's had a fair shot at finding their perfect spot. Once that time is up, flight will be reenabled in the main overworld - however, flight may need to still be disabled in the Nether and End for a while longer yet. At least until people have claimed all the Elytras and such.

The head shop is currently closed. We've run into unexpected issues with heads, making us unable to make them available for sale at present. Obviously that's no reason to keep the server closed for even longer, so we'll be going ahead with opening the server and blocking off the head shop for the time being.

The old world will need more time to become available for access. Our original plan was to connect the old world and the new with a bungee cord so people could hop between the two and still communicate with each other. Unfortunately, the bungee isn't going to work without some major security flaws, so that idea's out. Currently, Frost is contemplating simply making the old world available on a separate connection, in Adventure mode, for players to access and see old work. We're still working on finalizing the details, but decided to open the new world first.

That's it! In just a little while longer, the server will be up and we can finally all get back to playing. See you there! Maybe. I-it's not like I want to see you or anything, b-baka...
