I’m Back! (Again)

Yes, I have returned for the third time to run the Foxtopian Daily.  We are in strong need of a newspaper, so I have reclaimed my old position as head editor.  For those of you who don’t know, I am Sarasosio, one of the moderators on the server.  I have been playing on Foxtopia for a little under two years, and since then I have been supporting the server in any way I can.  The Foxtopian Daily is released every two days, so please tune in when you can to read the news.  And speaking of news, we have some right here!

Saras’ Shop Returns!

The most veteran players will remember this one.  On the very very very first world map, I started a little business called Saras’ Shop.  It was Foxtopia’s first clerk only general store.  Honestly, no one expected it would do well, but the old shop prevailed.  It became extremely popular and began attracting business all over the server.  Unfortunately, during the Sophet-Bandit War, I had to shut it down in order to focus on the fighting.  But now, it has returned, and is located in the most convenient area in the spawn town!  It is directly northeast of the central market.  I have great proces posted there, so go ahead and check it out.  Also, I have two new features: Drive-thrus and a deal of the week!  For the first time ever, three people can be served at the window, and the weekly deal I have to offer is clearly posted.  (Probably should have done this a while back…)  In any case, come down and check it out!

Spawn City Will Not be Nameless For Long…

As most of you know, the spawn city has been nameless since the map reset.  However, I have been permission to name it.  However, because it belongs to all of us, I would like everyone to have a say.  Please throw some comments and suggestions my way, and if it is permissible, I will include it on a poll on the forums.  In order to motivate you, whoever thinks of the winning name will be awarded a prize.

A Reminder for Cheaters

Foxtopians, please keep in mind that using the X-Ray mod is very illegal.  Recently, I confiscated nearly a stack and a half of illegitimate diamonds, and have taken some pictures of the offender.  The case is pending, but if it is proven that these diamonds were modded, the player will be banned.  Please use him as an example, and do not use hacks or mods.  Along with X-Ray, we also do not allow any mods for speedrun, flying, griefing, spamming, or anything else used for malicious activities.

Sarasosio Incorporated Returns!

Saracorp, the parent company of Saras’ Shop, has returned to Foxtopia as a guild.  We are currently hiring, so if you are interested in a job, please contact me in game or via a private message on the forums.  Right now, we have several positions open, including AP (Assistant President), CFO (Chief Financial Advisor), General Manager, Shop Manager, Assistant Manager, Contractor, Shop Clerk, and Stocker.  My AP will help me run the company, making important business choices, and running the show when I’m not around.  My CFO will be helping me run the company, advising me on how best to spend my funds.  The General Manager is in charge of supervising his subordinates, making sure the entire operation is running smoothly, and sending reports to the AP.  The Shop Managers are in charge of each individual shop, keeping the clerks busy, mentoring his assistant, and attracting customers.  The Assistant Manager reports to the Shop Manager, and runs operations when the Manager isn’t online. Contractors respond to business calls from other players.  For example, if Player_1 wants his wll to be repaired, a contractor will be sent to handle the job.  He sends half of the pay to the President.  Shop Clerks are responsible for making the actual sales, handling the funds and merchandise, keeping the shop organized, and making a friendly environment.  The Stockers are in charge of collecting supplies, bringing them to the shop, and putting them in the appropriate chest.  They are paid based on performance.  again, if you want a position, contact me ingame, or send me a professional server resume on the forums.

We are currently running Minecraft version 1.2.3. As the former bukkit newly Mojang team scrambles to rewrite everything for the upcoming release, we are working on bringing back everything from previous versions of Foxtopia that you loved and enjoyed. Thevortex is working diligently to bring back old familiar places and iconic structures together. We can only hope that Mojang does not drastically change the map generation engine again for a while to allow us to reorganize.
As March begins to wind down I’m afraid I will be seen less as I am nearing graduation and have to being taking care of matters IRL. I have to focus on getting my life straightened out before I can continue helping thevortex bring the best of MMO-Minecraft, Foxtopia, in a presentable manner to you. I will be in IRC if you would like to contact me directly.

Until we meet again,

Hello Foxtopians! I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays. Today, our new custom guilds plugin has launched! Included now in the plugin is bare functionality: invitations, name tags, private guild chat channel, administration commands, and above all, complete customization of everything!
Upon receiving your new guild, you will be designated owner. Owners of course have complete control over their guild. From here, you will want to begin either a.) inviting people or b.) opening your guild to anyone that wants to join. After you have a few members, you can designate players as guild administrators or guild moderators. Administrators will have the ability to set in-guild rank, declare wars (future), manage moderators for you, declare surrenders, manage alliances (future), and other administration details. Moderators will have control over players: invitations, managing and kicking members.
Next up you will probably want to set titles. Titles allow you to add a name on the front of names in your private guild channel accessed by /fg gchat. Once again, your guild is completely customize-able. You can use military ranks, medieval ranks, or just give members nicknames!
Along with guild titles, you will be able to assign a numerical rank to your members. Administrators can assign ranks from 1-80, and owners can assign ranks 1-100. Owner ranks are locked in to 100. These ranks will be used in the near future to do various functions such as locking guild doors and chests. Imagine your new guild house: the front gates are locked for ranks 1: members only. Once inside the guild house you can then have chests for different ranked players. Perhaps you want the iron armory accessable for level 20+ players. You diamond armory chests could be locked to 81 and above. Your guild farm could be accessable only by rank 30. Your upper floors 50+. Your towers level 70. Your penthouse hall for the elites of the guild, 90+. Your personal room: 100. You have 100 levels to play with.

(Near future) As with any guild you probably will encounter confrontational players whom you want to teach a lesson. Moderators can add players to a hitlist and an enemies list. This will allow guild members to be aware and on the lookout for troublemakers.

(Next major release) Guild administrators will be able to declare war on other guilds. Score limited wars will determine which guilds mean business, which guilds you should fear, and which you should point and laugh at. A complete guild vs. guild war scoring system has been conceptualized and is up next for implementation. This scoring system is being tweaked to be the fairest to your guild, regardless of size. It comes complete with a ladder ranking system so you can proudly boast your accomplishments.

All this and more is promised to you, Foxtopians. Stay tuned for future updates and releases.

To be a guild master for life, a one time separate donation of $10USD is required. Please help us keep our beloved server going and new features pouring in.

See you in the mines,

Due to a recent accident with World Edit, some of the areas directly close to the spawn in the 1.8 world have been permanently damaged. To the few who have been affected, we are sorry for your losses and will listen to your concerns. If you would like to speak with one of the administrators, feel free to PM them in the forums and they will respond to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued patronage as we come near to the end of our Minecraft Beta journey together.

Again, we sincerely apologize.
