From 05 May 2012 to 20 May 2012 the new map will have a portal opened to it from Initus, and you will be teleported to the New Initus. It will be a newly made city, and you will need to respect that we will likely still be building it. There will be a large zone around it again, and a temporary teleportation hub that will handle a teleport to the edge of the zone (if we haven't built the proper one by then).
Please be aware that since it will probably still be a work in progress, a teleport hub like the one today might not be available.
For those wishing to APPLY to have their builds transferred, post in this thread with this format:
Code: Select all
Player(s) name:
Build name:
Why you think your build should feature in the new map?:
Do you currently have a teleport hub package?:
How many (single) chests are in the area you wish to copy?:
Do you agree to the terms and conditions below?:
Did you actually read the terms and conditions below?:
Are you sure? They are important:
Okay then, if I delete your building because you didn't read them you have to deal with it, okay?:
Build name: Death tower near Salvezza
Why you think your build should feature in the new map?: Because the build will be very easy to transfer as it is an independant island and will not need any blending. It will also be used in a quest that I want to make later and I spent a lot of time building it.
Do you currently have a teleport hub package?: No I don't, but if I did I would tell you what extras I got if any.
How many (single) chests are in the area you wish to copy?: 2000 single chests, however they are all only half full so call it 1000.
Do you agree to the terms and conditions below?: Yes
Did you actually read the terms and conditions below?: Fine you caught me, I'll read them now
Are you sure? They are important: Yeah I read them, and might I say you wrote some fucking awesome conditions and I really appreciate the effort you are putting in to make sure that everyone is happy with a new map
Okay then, if I delete your building because you didn't read them you have to deal with it, okay?: I won't have to worry about this since I read the terms and conditions.
Keep in mind that your application will be considered in regards to how easy it will be to blend into the new world, which YOU are responsible for as outlined in the terms and conditions. You will also be charged a price for the transfer if accepted. It is FAR PREFERRED for you to cut your losses from your past build and take across resources to start fresh, or take a few chests worth of stuff. There will be no price on taking a few chests over, but the price will increase if you wish to take a stupid amount of chests over.
Terms and conditions:
- Please mark out your area that you wish to copy with obvious blocks, such as red wool or something, to make it easier to copy.
- We will allow up to 8 single chests to transfer free, 4 doubles are obviously equivalent. For every extra chest that you wish to bring across, you will be charged 1/5*(x-8)^3 Au where x is the number of chests. Fee calculator here. For example, if you want to take 14 single chests over, you will be charged for 6 extra, which is 1/5*(14-6)^3 = 43.2Au. If you wish to take chests over with an approved build, you are granted 10 free single chests, with the formula being 1/20*(x-10)^2 where x is again the amount of single chests you wish to take over.
- Chests do not necessarily need to be condensed, however you will need to work out how many single chests WORTH of stuff you have to take over. If you have four half full single chests, you have 2 chests WORTH of stuff. If you have five 3/4 full double chests, you have (2*5*3/4 = 7.5) chests WORTH of stuff.
- The criteria for build transfer is based on ease of transfer and size. For example, we will obviously not transfer any mines or anything as they are not easy to paste in and have a huge size, however if you have a square, simple house that will require very little blending, it is likely that we MIGHT accept it. It is ALSO judged on attractiveness of the build, so we will likely not transfer cities full of basic buildings and stuff that, which could quite frankly be rebuilt anyway. Similarly if you built in the middle of a mountain range dependant on the size and shape of the mountains, well bad news, that will be very close to impossible to transfer nicely and will, once again, likely not be transferred.
- If you do wish for chests to be transferred, bunch them up into as little space as possible. We will not transfer giant rooms with chests lining the walls. Also to answer any chest questions, no we will not limit what is IN the chest, but do you really need to transfer 6 stacks of diamond blocks anyway?
- Finally, due to some software limitation and all that, you must deal with the fact that your Pailstone contraptions will break and will need to be remade, some block data values might implode, and some pastes may not be perfect. We want to work with you, but not for you, so fixing this stuff is your responsibility. Think of it this way, I COULD just say "fuck all yall, I'm going to start a new map and you can all suck it" but I'm trying to make this as civilized and fair as practically possible, so meet me halfway here.
EDIT 1:
Well shit that was quick. NO you are not allowed to use accepted places as a means to transfer extra chests. If you do, and you are caught, you will be punished for some pretty serious dishonesty and scamming. Along that note, the Nether and the End will be wiped, so you should probably clear out of there, just so nobody can "store chests in there to avoid the price". The Jungle World will also be not only wiped, but deleted, as there are jungles in the new map.
Because of this immediate questioning, you will be required to show us any chests you have in an accepted build before we will take it over, as chests will affect the price of a transfer, however not as steeply as otherwise.
Also, the prices of a city transfer will also be pretty damn high, which means that you should ask for money from your citizens.
EDIT 2:
You do not need to apply for a chest transfer, just ask about it in game when there is a trustee available AFTER THE PORTAL OPENS UP. You are also responsible for finding a new place, for both chests and builds. You may want to use Dynmap for that also.
EDIT 3:
I know I have said to some people that they will be allowed to take their own stuff across manually, however this is no longer allowed as chests cost money. You will be on a brand new inventory when you access the new world, so you can't avoid the price of item transfer.
EDIT 4:
Since lots of people are confused about chests, here is the clarification:
If you just want to take chests across, you will get 8 free single chests, but charged for anything in excess of this. Fee calculator here. If you wish to take a TOTAL of 80 single chests over and they are all 1/3 full, find out how many chests WORTH of stuff you have (80*1/3 = 26.6), plug it into the formula $ = 1/5*(x-8)^3 = 1/5*(26.6-8)^3 = 1287 Au
If you wish to take chests across with an approved build, you need to count the number of single chests in an area (which you also have to mark out yourself now, a cuboid area), work out how many single chests WORTH of stuff you have, plug it into the formula 1/20*(x-10)^2 and you have your amount ON TOP OF the price we assign to have your build transferred in the first place.
