Howdy folks,

It's 3.0's launch day! (FOR REAL THIS TIME) ((No, the server isn't up yet, probably))

Server IP is still the same: mc.civcraft.co

Our Mumble server, a wonderful VOIP tool for organizing folks: mumble.civcraft.co

This post is probably going to sound a lot like the last one, probably because I copy and pasted most of it, so I’ll try and spice things up here and there.

For today’s launch we will be condensing all the important stuff into this thread. We will also be removing redundant and unnecessary threads from the sub (eg. "I can't login!,” "When are we launching!?11 XDD,” “Where are teh caves!?” Once the server does in fact go live I know everyone and their mother will want to be the first to announce that the server is live so we will be culling these posts as we see fit. We will put up an official “ribbon cutting” the-server-is-open post very soon after the server is offically opened.

Server issues will have their own dedicated post [here[(https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/4vcex5/30_bug_reports/) and posts outside of the thread will be deleted. Please be aware that plugins and things might break suddenly which might require a little downtime here and there to patch.

Additionally, since we are sure madmail will explode as soon as we launch some do's and don'ts with modmail:

Don't modmail about:

1. General server issues, lag, low FPS, low tick

2. Minor glitches (e.g. "My horse is upside down" or "The moon is going the wrong way in the sky!”)

3. Item returns (Sorry, no returns for the first few days)

Do modmail about:

1. Alt bans

If you attempt to log onto the server and receive a message informing you that alts are not allowed on the server or have some other issue with logging on due to alt issues then please fill this out before modmailing. Failing to fill out this form before modmailing may result in a delayed response. Hopefully we'll have this system automated (in a manner that doesn’t trap people in a never ending loop of pain and suffering) soon:

What is your Minecraft username:

What Minecraft accounts do you have access to:

What Minecraft accounts have you had access to in the past:

Who else has access to your Minecraft account:

What would you like to use as your main account:

Have any of your accounts been lost or stolen:

1. Severe glitches (e.g. duping, teleporting that is not contributable to lag, etc.) -Essentially anything game breaking or that could be exploited for personal gain and ruin everything for everyone

Some reminders:

The rules pages have been updated on the wiki here.

Information on the automated name changes are here.

A good bit of relevant information related to 3.0 can be found in these AMAs. (However some are a little out of date as there have been some changes since those were done)

Remember to use the same mhlsec IP if you used that in the past. If you're receiving an authentication error it is most likely because you're not using the you're special IP to connect. If you don't know what this is you've probably never used it so don't worry about it but should run /mhlsec whenever the server gets going.

A common error for those that have been around for awhile is that your special IP is still using .vg instead of .co, use .co.

Example: cykabylat.mc.civcraft.vg should be cykabylat.mc.civcraft.co

A few things that will be added post launch (not a comprehensive list):

Skilup

Portal Particles These are live on the server and properly show where world portals are without making players’ clients explode.

BetterCivmenu

Something to do in the lobby world other than staring at the other poor souls that somehow ended up there Lobby has an l33t parkour arena thanks to /u/BigFloppyGash, we might switch this up everyone and then

A more detailed intro book with pretty pictures and links

(Congrats (again) /u/commando_wins, your book was chosen albeit it will edited heavily as the server progresses)

Two requests for assistance from the community:

1. The wiki still needs some serious love. Many pages are out of date and lots of information is lacking.

2. Advertising, /u/bobpndrgn has been heading up our, admittedly small, advertising push but we really need the community’s assistance in getting the word out. If you’re interested in helping please message Bob and hopefully we can get a more formal campaign going in a week or so.

Known issues:

ppsummon is currently disabled as for some reason it broke PP completely, this functionality should be restored fairly soon.

Randomspawn, might random spawn folks on top of trees, if this happens please contact your local fire department to help you down (or just drop a comment in the bug thread)

Preexisting crops (aka those already on the map) might be bugged. Best to just replant them if they’re not growing properly.

I hope everyone enjoys the chaos of launch day!

Edit: Citadel is causing some issues, might require a sudden restart
