EULA
Ever since the EULA came out I have defended it's cause and stood by Mojang saying we'd follow it's rules. I am still willing to follow all the EULA's rules, but because Mojang is not punishing any server for breaking the rules, and thus other servers can offer way more than me, I have no real reason to follow it anymore.
If I'd continue following the EULA, we wouldn't earn enough and the server would end. I'd be willing to do that if all servers adapted, but since we're one of the only few, I've decided to start breaking the EULA. (But only on minor parts, so no big rulebreakers)
Daily Present
The first change I have made for this is redoing the Daily Present chest on Siege.
As it used to be, people get 0-100 points or other useful powerups every day, with just a normal randomisation deciding who get what and when. Donators however, now get an additional amount of points every day for their generousity that helps us support the server.
VIPs get 50 points extra every day.
PROs get 100 points extra every day.
ELITEs get 250 points extra every day.
We hope that this will increase donation flow and will also keep respect to the EULA by not breaking it too far. We will be looking at adding more rewards in near future, but this is the first major one.
Small update
Many of you will know that Mr_CookieSmurf held a survey a couple weeks ago.
We've went over the results and decided to change some things based on them:
- The Minas Tirith Citadel side entrance for Mordor from below has been removed
- The Dam in Isengard now has 50 health, not 100
- Constructors now get 25 points for repairing a gate, not 15
- Constructors now get points for repairing the Minas Tirith second gate (which didn't work before)
Staff promotions
Oh, I almost forgot. The three pre-mods (Slimegirl24, Mr_CookieSmurf and araksptec) have been promoted to full mods! Go congratulate them, they've been of amazing help these past troubelous months!
Ps. Expect more and new donor perks implemented, so ideas are appreciated!
