      Ivan I removed Buycraft before the server even launched. I can’t control the fact that site was still up and Miasmus thought it would be funny to buy it. Paid ranks will not be implemented to the best of my knowledge.

      Ivan I'm not going crazy... we've always gone on a basis in which we gave players all the same opportunities WITHOUT PAYING. There is no explanation...


    The plans should have been revealed in the first place

    Either you are going crazy, or you're extremely ignorant. For those of you just dying to have a go at us for the whole ranks thing, I'd like to make it clear that this was not anticipated by either myself or Ryan. That website was leftover from the previous owner, and Miasmus bought the rank as a joke.


    The entire interaction is available on the discord chat. Perhaps if you would have waited for my own statement on this, you wouldn't have gone crazy about p2w and TF.


    Before the server was made public, I removed the buycraft plugin because I did not anticipate purchases at all. The website is not owned by me, so I could not remove it. Miasmus saw this, and bought the rank.

    Everyone relax on the donation shit. This is again what happens when people go crazy without knowing the full story behind any of what is happening. The plans will be revealed soon enough, and it's not what you all think.

      Luke ...but it is. Hand waving criticism with 'lol this is how it is feck off if you dont like it' is doing exactly that. Whether it's intentional or not.

    That is how it shall be then. I'm sorry to break it to you, but this is happening. TotalFreedom will be expanding, and there really isn't anything you or the community can do to stop it. So as I say, you can either fight this inevitable change to no avail, or you can accept it and move on.

    If you guys don't like how this server is being run, or if you don't like the direction the server is heading in - you are more than welcome to leave.


    This message says it all.

    @'Ryan' This wasn't a "We'd like to do this, what do y'all think", this is a "We're going down this direction because we feel it's in the best interests of the TF Network, tada".

    For further clarification at the straw pulling going on here to discredit the server, the rules needed to be updated and a conduct policy will be posted on the forums, which will then be transferred over to the server. The current rules are not accurate.

    The Official TF Skyblock Server

    Welcome to our new Skyblock Server


    As I'm sure many of you are aware, TotalFreedom is expanding! I am proud to announce the first non-freedom based server on our platform. We are now offering a fully fledged Skyblock experience to all of our users. The server has been extensively tested, the economy has been perfected, and every plugin is configured to ensure our players have the best experience they can get.


    The new Skyblock server was once part of a larger network, meaning that it has its own dedicated playerbase. I can confirm a total of eight regular players, who were once part of the old server. They are all aware of the ownership transfer, and are supportive of the move. As such, I think it's important to realise that this migration means that we will be aquiring new, dedicated players, as well as having another server to advertise - drawing in more new and unique players.


    The Spawn

    The first impressions of the Skyblock server are the most important ones. I have taken the liberty of ensuring a beautiful spawn was created and used.

    The spawn is a vast space filled with various monuments, agricultural lands, and water bodies. There are houses, lakes, streams, farms, blacksmiths, trees, market stalls, and wells!

    The Islands

    We have three selectable islands for you to play on! They feature different biome styles and different island generation.


    The Desert Island

    The desert island features a barren, sandy environment for those who wish to play on a dusty and arid island. The islands are all randomly generated, ensuring no two islands are the same. The island is decorated with various cacti, enhancing the visuals and proving a better gameplay experience.


    The Jungle Island

    The jungle island features a tropical and humid feel, complete with a huge jungle tree engulfing the top of the island. The island is decorated with various dirt block types, pieces of grass, and flowers. The trees are enriched with cocoa beans, and are designed by hand.


    The Mushroom Island

    The mushroom island features a large mushroom structure engulfing the top of the island, with various mushroom types strewn around the floor. This island shows off Mycelium, along with oak wooden plank flooring for a better visual look.


    The Shop and Economy

    The economy was under heavy scrutiny by myself, as after some conversions with other server owners, I was told that a slight change to the economy could cripple the server. As such, I took extra care with the economy - making sure that it was perfectly balanced.


    The shop features a vast amount of goods. From villager workers to workstations, and spawners, to dyes - its all sold at the shop.

    Crates

    TF Skyblock has a crate system! Crates offer players a chance to win big, or go home. The tiers of crates are Vote Crate, Common Crate, Rare Crate, and Legendary Crate. These crates can be opened with crate keys. Crate keys are obtained through progression and use of our rewards systems. We also host giveaways from time to time with the ability to earn crate keys then!

    How to join

    You can join the new Skyblock server using the IP - skyblock.totalfreedom.me


    This is a cracked server, and it will remain cracked for a while. The reason for this is to get a better understanding on the current cracked playerbase, and how to mitigate their loss efficiently. As such, we are using AuthMe, a plugin that requires you to login and set a password when you join for the first time. This limits imposing and improves server security.


    This server will also not be connected to the hub for the forseeable future. The hub would pose significant limitations to the server, such as forcing premium, and forcing current players to join through unfamiliar ways.

    Perhaps there is some misunderstanding in my suggestions. Players would need to run a command to change rank colours, specifying both the rank and colour change. If the user is competent enough to run this command, they are competent enough to remember the colour and the rank it correlates to. This is why I don’t see the merit in the points brought up before this post.

    @'Ryan' I would argue that for a user to want to/know how to change the colour of a rank, they would need to already know what that rank is, and to subsequently change the colour. This point doesn’t make sense to me because the user is the one inputting the rank and colour value to change - so therefor they surely know what rank correlates to what colour.


    Your argument would be a valid cause of concern (to me at least) if these colours were completely randomised for each user; but they’re not - each user needs to input a specific command (which is already a minority of players as I doubt every new player will immediately rush to change rank colours).

    There have been a huge amount of suggestions regarding the alteration of current rank colours. Since the matter is subjective, no general consensus was reached.


    This suggestion hopes to make all rank colours customisable, so that players can choose colours they like. Similar to how admins can use /myadmin to change the look of their admin chat.

    I personally think a few people here are pulling at straws to have this reinstatement voided.


    Who gives a fuck if Ashaz left the discord. He had every right to. Why the fuck do you expect him to sit there and take shit from half of the admin team.


    Perhaps Ashaz could have handled himself better, but I can assure you current staff members have much worse incidents under their belts.


    My only issue with his conduct was a lack of remorse after the fact, which has been addressed.

      man Even the one where I reloaded Essentials.

    For what it’s worth you didn’t seem remorseful about reloading essentials. You even told Video to “calm down” after you reloaded essentials. You then proceeded to say that Video didn’t tell you not to do it, even though you never told him what you were doing and only said “let me do it for you”. To me at least, this shows a lack of remorse after the fact. I am going to remain neutral for the time being, but it’s important to put forth the good and bad.
