Hello KoolSourcers,

I am writing this post to keep you updated with some of our recent changes and updates.

Rank Changes / Additions

VIP is now Dark Green and VeteranVIP is now Light Green.

We have added a new rank to the store named Supporter. This rank has the same as VIP, plus:

• Jump To - Allows to teleport to the block your looking at with left click of a compass.
  
• Magic Carpet - Allows the user to fly away on a carpet made of glass by using the command "/mc".
  
• Virtual Chest - A chest you can access whenever you want just by tying "/chest".

This new rank costs $25. However if you have already purchased VIP you can upgrade to Supporter for just $20 by clicking here then click the VIP package you already purchased, then click the change package button on the right. The rest is self explanatory. This discounted upgrade is only available for a limited time after which you will only be able to upgrade at full price.

Will be adding Super Supporter tomorrow for the extra homes.

Hardware Upgrades

We have upgraded the Minecraft server with a Solid State Drive (SSD) and more RAM.

New server specs:

• Intel® Core™ i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8 cores
  
• 12GB DDR3 RAM
  
• 128GB SSD
  
• 500GB SATA
  
• 10TB on 100Mbit Port

As the server specs have increased so has the monthly cost. We have adjusted the donation bar to reflect this. The donation bar is reset on the 21st of each month as this is when our biggest bill goes out.

Voting

We have added 2 new pages where you can vote for koolsource. You can vote on each website every 24 hours and you will receive 50 Kredits per vote. Thats a total of 150 Kredits for free every 24 hours. Each website has a big green button on the right side of the KoolSource homepage.

Bounty Plugin

I have installed a plugin on the server which adds a public hit list to the server, allowing players to anonymously post hits against their enemies for a reward paid out of their pocket. Other players can take on the role of bounty hunter, competing to fulfill bounties and earn the reward.


Current bounty settings:

• bounty-min: 20 - Minimum amount users must pay to post a bounty (includes reward + fee).
  
• bounty-fee-percent: 10 - Percent of the amount paid that is taken as a fee for posting a bounty. The remaining portion makes up the reward for the bounty.
  
• contract-fee-percent: 5 - Percent of the award value hunters must pay to accept a contract.
  
• death-penalty-percent: 0 - Percent of the award value that the killed target loses.
  
• bounty-duration: 24 Hours - The amount of time bounty hunters have to complete a bounty.

Here is a list of the available commands:

• /bounty - Shows help information
  
• /bounty new <target> <value> - Create new bounty.
  
• /bounty list <page#> - List bounties available.
  
• /bounty accept <target> - Accept bounty.
  
• /bounty abandon <target> - Abandon bounty.
  
• /bounty cancel <target> - Cancel bounty.
  
• /bounty view - View your accepted bounties.
  
• /bounty locate - Show last known taget locations.

Mob Arena

If you enjoy fighting monsters for glorious prizes or just for the sheer thrill of battle, you and your friends can now join forces against hordes of Minecraft evils in the exciting gladiator style survival mini-game which is MobArena.

MobArena is a PvE take on arena gameplay, with a similar class based system. Instead of fighting other players, you team up with them to beat oncoming waves of monsters, earning lots of rewards in the process. MobArena can be played alone, or with as many friends as you like!

MobArena Commands:

• /ma join or /ma j - Join the arena if only one exists. Otherwise, join the Master Lobby (will be featured later).
  
• /ma join <arena> or /ma j <arena> - Join the arena with the specified name.
  
• /ma leave or /ma l - Leave the current arena, or the spectator area.
  
• /ma notready - Get a list of all players who aren't ready.
  
• /ma spectate or /ma spec - Spectate the arena if only one exists.
  
• /ma spectate <arena> or /ma spec <arena> - Spectate the arena with the specified name.
  
• /ma arenas - Get a list of all arenas. Green names are enabled, gray names are disabled.
  
• /ma players - Get a list of all arena players.
  
• /ma players <arena> - Get a list of arena players in the specified arena.
