Protection stone price change, new player changes.

Hi,

We have decided to make a few protection stone changes we think you will all like.

Firstly, you can now sell back your existing stones in order to allow you to upsize when you can afford it.
Secondly, in approximately 24 hours after this post we will be lowering the prices of all the stones.
Coal will become $1,500.
Lapis will become $10,000
Diamond will become $55,000

We are announcing this before making the change so that you will have time to exchange your existing stones at the current prices.

We will also be giving new members from now on a coal protection stone when they sign up. This is for all new members, so existing members will not be eligible - sorry!

Finally, all players starting off on the server will begin with a wooden kit consisting of a sword, axe and pickaxe, along with some food and torches to get them started. This should make starting off more bearable. If you have any other suggestions on what would make starting out for new players more bearable, let me know.

Some much needed addidtions, BUT!!!

 Damn i recently brought 4 lapiz PS and about 7 Coal PS!
I could break and sell but that leaves my property wide open to griefers, but i guess grief can always be rolled back.

Sometimes I just randomly give away food at the spawn. Maybe I'm helping too! Even if I don't know what I'm doing. But, if ps prices go down, could'nt someone just buy a lot then reserve the entire tundra zone near the spawn castle?

If we find that people are just randomnly placing protection stones outside of the spawn area, without need for them they shall be removed, and the owner of the protection stones will be warned and they will lose the stones.

Cool! Sounds like a great idea!

[SalasCraft]

Really liking the improvements.

Keep it up!

As I've suggested before, kits for different ranks:

This is what should happen.

This system would help ranks, donation, etc.
Donators should have their own rank, and kits.
A kit is a set of tools that you can spawn anytime after a cooldown.

So when someone types /kit starter, they get the started kit spawned, etc

You are NOT allowed to sell kit spawned items
Kit suggestions:

(Free) Starter kit (available to guests+) - Wooden shovel, wooden pick, wooden axe, wooden sword, bow, 5 arrows, 5 torches (30 minute cooldown)

(Free) Member kit (available to Member+ ) - stone shovel, stone pick, stone axe, stone sword, bow, 10 arrows, 10 torches, 5 bread (60 minute cooldown)

(Free) Trusted kit (available to Trusted+ ) - iron shovel, iron pick, iron axe, iron sword, bow, 20 arrows, 15 torches, 1 cake (90 minute cooldown)

(Donate 5$) donator kit (available to only Donators) - diamond shovel, diamond pick, diamond axe, diamond sword, bow, 64 arrows, 36 torches, 5 cake (90 minute cooldown)

(Donate 25+$) custom kit (available to only Donators with 25$+) - anything they want within reasonable amount to the amount they donated, 10 diamond blocks, grass blocks, iron bars, etc.(120 minute cooldown)
