We have just taken the last steps in activating all of our new features. Not only has the spawn been changed but when you first log in you will be taken to the tutorial island as if you are a new player. This has been done so you have a better understanding of how the game has changed.

The old world has now been locked to Veterans and above. What this means is that anyone under vet can still go to the world, they just can't place or destroy any blocks.

If you have already started building on the old world and are not yet Veteran we are giving you the opportunity to apply for early veterancy in the suport forums. Upon making your post please state that your applying for early veterancy and also state your current played time which you can find by going in game and typing /played.

The new world is currently limited to a radius of 1500 blocks however this will be raised to at least 6000 when the 1.0 patch is applied to the server. The terrain on the new world is very rich in resources and there are plenty of abandoned mine shafts and crevices to explore.

KoolSource now has 2 main zone types. Wilderness and towns. Wilderness can be very dangerous as PVP is on. Players can build, destroy and explore any of the wild. However this also means players can legally grief and steal from the wild! As such it's probably in your best interest to interact with the other players to find a place you can live and grow on the new world. We suggest pooling your Kredits together to start a town. We have added a new /recruit channel which you can use to find people to join your town or find a town that is right for you.

With the new world and all the new features we have implemented also come a new set of rules which can be view HERE.

We will be updating this post and the Wiki throughout the week. Also we are keeping a very close eye on the development of bukkit so that we can get 1.0 on the server ASAP.

• iConomy - This allows us to have an in-game currency that can be used for many things such as trading. There are several ways to gain Kredits.
  
  • Selling gold to the server.
    
  • Trading with other members.
    
  • Winning the lottery.
    
  • Voting for KoolSource.
    
  • Purchasing them from the Store.
• Lottery - Purchase a ticket in-game for 25 Kredits. The prize depends on the amount of tickets sold and is drawn every 24 hours.
  
• Chest Shops - Allows you to make shops to buy and sell items even whilst you are offline.
  
• Towns & Nations - The ability to purchase towns and have residents help you build.
  
  • Nation Price- 8000 Kredits
    
  • Town Price - 3000 Kredits

  • 16 Bonus Claims - 500 Kredits
• HD Dynmap Map - We have brought back the HD surface view on the dynamic map and upgraded the textures on the flat map.

Chat Changes:

• From now on only VIP's can use global chat. - This is to reduce the spam of global chat, we don't need people discussing their dinner here.
  
• Added local chat /l with a radius of 150.
  
• Added help chat /h - Ask your questions here.
  
• Added recruit chat /recruit - Look for towns and members here.

Good! Hurry and get in here!

So far me, Rebel, and Dean are the only ones with a town. And i don't want everyone in mine, but there really isnt anyone else for them to join it seems.

So Mayor Mike, get that town up and running. Then we shall discuss our trade agreements!

There is a thread that contains the jar you need. Actually -- it's the one directly below this one.
