Guard armour cannot be picked up or dropped by prisoners or free players
Guards must dispose of any guard armour they do pickup
A new rank called Free+ can be obtained by making $2.5 million. In doing so you will be entitled to a 32x32 area of land anywhere you choose in the free world (and a minimum of 300 blocks away from the prison). This land will effectively be a plot with the ability to add and remove other players from the land.
Note: You can only claim a 32x32 area of land that hasn't already been built on. In other words you can't claim land that contains structures built by other players.
Welp, I changed my name and am a mystery now. I am a 2-3 year member of convicted. I was on when they clicked the off switch. Good Luck figuring out my old name ^u^
First off I'd like to apologise for the downtime for the past few days. As Shananium correctly stated, data corruption was occurring on the server and therefore data was being lost. Thankfully we store backups of the server to minimise any damage. Despite this, all backups were damaged in one way or another so I had to salvage bits and pieces from each backup and recreate a fully working backup. This took me a long time but I wasn't prepared to let some corrupted data stop me from getting a server which has a loving community back online.
The only data lost was from Sunday, July 12.
Secondly, thank you to Shananium for keeping you all up-to-date on the forums about what was going on. I appreciate that nobody likes being left in the dark about what's going on with a server and I don't want that to become a trend.
Factions has been installed and we're in the process of testing it out to ensure it works to the expectations of our users.
The two new quests created by fearlessmaster, and pumamis and MrQuintus will be made available to everyone for a short-period of time before being limited to specific ranks (which are yet to be determined).
We're hoping to have the server open and ready at some point tomorrow on July 15.
Here are some other changes:
Guards and Senior Guards will have their own kits.
Premium users now have access to creating coloured signs.
Guard armour can no longer be picked up
Minor cosmetic changes in various areas including the courtyard
Other minor changes
From July 15 to July 19 premium and enhanced packages will also be reduced in price.
Lastly, I'd like to thank those who expressed concern about my health with staying up for over two days straight with no sleep. I'm sorry if I scared anyone and I promise I will not repeat this again.
Thanks so much to all of you who play on Prison Island and make it an enjoyment to manage. As always we will continue to expand and improve the server. If you have any suggestions or feedback please don't hesitate to leave a comment on the forums or message us in-game. We're always happy to hear what you have to say.
I'm aiming for a a 5pm or 6pm GMT launch, though I'm striving to make this earlier. I'm doing everything I can to do this as quickly as I can and once again I appreciate your continued support.
I apologise for the lack of communication on my behalf, I have been busy repairing as much as I can on the server both the front-end and back-end. The front-end seems to be completely repaired and the back-end is nearly done. New security measures have been put in place and some extra tools may be given to certain ranks to try and prevent such incident from occurring again.
Any damage to chests and PlayerVaults is unlikely to be fixed due to insufficient logs of the changes however if you have any evidence that proves that you're missing a specific item or items then you will be compensated accordingly.
I'd like to thank everyone for their continued support during this difficult time, and I can't stress enough how much both the staff team and I appreciate it.
I'm hoping to have everything done soon so that it can be opened again at some point during June 30th.
I'll keep you all apprised of any other developments.
The event for the 10x10x10 and 12x12x12 will take place at 9PM GMT (4PM EST). The first place winner will choose which size plot they want. Second place will receive the other plot.
This One Time Only quest will test your skills as you try to make sense of the hidden messages throughout the free world. The Excalibur sword is the most powerful sword that has and ever will be produced. Only one in existence meaning only one can obtain this almighty sword.
Your first clues are located just outside the prison in a hidden room. From there you will start your long and perilous journey to the find Excalibur.
Best of luck to you all who choose to participate.
NEW fishing area in D block in addition to the original. After multiple people complained that fishing was difficult in the current fishing pool I've decided to build another, more larger fishing pool adjacent to the Cafe.
Guard commands for /sword, /bow, /arrow, /pot, /out and /armour (or /armor) all work. Shortened versions of this command will be available soon.
Two new kits for KitPvP. These are Fire and Crazy Steve.
NEW COMMANDS
/quickjail <player> automatically jails the specified player for 10 minutes.
/plotadd <player> add a player to your plot.
/plotremove <player> remove a player from your plot.
