Heya Noobs! In searching for the source of the server's lag issues, I'm going to be disabling various plugins on the server for a day to determine if it's the source of the lag. My test environment doesn't suffer from the same source of lag, so I'm not able to reproduce the issue alone unfortunately.

If one of the plugins being disabled fixes the lag that doesn't mean that it won't return, but it will allow me to investigate the issue in more depth.

Schedule

• Monday 4/10/17 Spawn leaderboards will be disabled
• Tuesday 4/11/17 Grand Exchange and Bank will be disabled
• Wednesday 4/12/17 Quests will be disabled
• Thursday 4/13/17 Shop Chests will be disabled
• Friday 4/14/17 ChestShops, GrandExchange, Leaderboards, Grand Exchange, and Quests will be coming back online. ChestShops will have reduced tracking settings and I will be actively tuning the plugin to reduce the impact on the server.
• Saturday 4/15/17 ChestShops not easily salvageable. Will be investigating other solutions.
• Thursday 4/20/17 Final Update: Turns out ChestShops were totally easily salvageable, and have a known issue. We're okay now though. No more tears.

I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you, but I believe that the inconveniences caused by the lag are far greater than not having the plugin for the day.

Again, apologies for any inconveniences caused.

Edited 4/13/17 1:48PM MST: Lag issues are still persisting despite the other plugins being removed. My next suspect is Shop Chests, so those are going to be removed.
Edited 4/13/17 6:46PM MST: ShopChests definitely seem to be the source of the issue. Going to reinstall the other plugins to verify that they don't also cause an issue.
Edited 4/13/17 7:18PM MST: I came to the realization that it was shop chests when one...

Valentines Day Shiyut
Crate
Valentines Day is here! And despite my University level procrastination skills, I HAVE SOMETHING DONE! The Valentines crate can be found at /warp crate, though if we're completely honest some things might not be 100% working properly just yet. Oh well!

Sale
To celebrate the love of the noobs and the cupids and the spuds we have implemented the sales and the stuff. The important thing is that I'm super sleepy right now and just want to go to bed, so cutting to the skimmies the sale is -33.33% off, and will last for the day and the next day.

Quests
Shout out to Orion his quest team for rocking the Valentines quests for yet another holiday, and you guys should all go check out what they've been doing! I should probably ask Orion for more details on where people can find the quests now huh?

Hello folks! And happy new year. I know many of you have started a new school year just as I have, and while I'm busy I still intend on growing the community. There are specific ideas that I'm somewhat working on, but I wanted to share with you, the community the goals that I had in mind. I hope that you all have a wonderful year, and thank you for sticking around through thick and thin. You're the best, and I wouldn't change a damned thing about you.
2017 Goals

• Build better bridges to other servers
• Bring the other servers up to class with Scarlet
• Gather more feedback from players
• Experiment with new ideas in a safe environment
• Pivot staff focus from punishment to creation and service
• Create more flexible donation methods that allows players to have a rank
• Create more autonomous systems for helping players resolve issues
• Provide more regular communication of changes. Bring back the change log!

Hey folks, it was mentioned in a previous thread ambigiously, but this will be happening in the next week, so here's the last minute post where I give you all of the details because I'm a good owner and stuff and do things and tell you guys stuff about the things while I do the things.

Anyways, lets get to it.

I'll be resetting the Skyblock server, as many of you are already aware of because of how completely broken it is currently. Your islands will be reset, your inventories will be reset, and your backpacks will be reset. Your McMMO however will not be reset.

To help compensate our most dedicated players, I will be awarding points based on your most recent island level. I know this doesn't go anywhere towards making the reset whole, but it hopefully will help to mend some sour feelings.

So, small example if you have an island level of 100 you will be awarded 100 points to compensate for your time.

The new world will have a working Skyblock style nether from the get go. Keep inventory will be off. I repeat. Keep inventory will be off. I believe that Keep Inventory being off is more in the spirit of Skyblock, and while it does make it more of a challenge, I believe that's what Skyblock is meant more to be. A challenge. If that doesn't sound good to you, sorry, but you can still voice your opinion. It's just a simple setting anyways.

Posted below is a list of every island with a level above 10. If you know your island is above 10 but do not see your name, now is the time to get in contact with me about the correction.

Hello folks! I hope you're as happy as I am that Christmas is here. And many of you have been wondering what the hell we're doing for Christmas... So I'll tell you! We're bringing all the Christmas. That's right. All of it. Do you need anymore?

Well, specifically the Christmas crate is in /warp crate, and there's a new Christmas town! Do quests and spread holiday cheer! I actually don't know if that's a good description for it, but I'm going to assume that the quest team did just that. If not I'll have to post a note in the sweatshop. Seriously, mad props to @benchriswii and @OrionPax6 for working on the quests. And to @PearlescentMoon @SkittlesYaKnow and @Joannu for working on the build itself.

Anyways, this has been a lot of rambling, but one last thing, the holiday sale is here. From today until the 1st of next year, enjoy a 1/3rd off all purchases from the donation store! Happy holidays anyways everyone! I'll be in my room dreaming of Star Pigs.



Seriously though, go check out the winter wonderland. It's bootiful.

Violet will be launching tomorrow at 12PM MST, so December 12th at 12PM MST for those reading this in the future. I know you're there... So start sharpening your swords!! Well. Violet has a separate inventory than Violet, so don't bother with that on Scarlet. That being said... I'm not great with factions myself, so tonight I'll probably go make my own little faction while no one else has access to the server... Muhahah! But this is more for testing purposes anyways. I'm excited.

With the factions server, it'll be more of the wild west. So, I'm genuinely curious if there are elements of that we could use on Scarlet. I have been getting annoyed by the amount of people who pretty much just don't claim anything so that they don't have to pay any upkeep. But I'm curious what your thoughts are. Reply to this thread with comments, and vote in this poll thingy.

Scarlet

• Added dark oak door, jungle door, spruce door, birch door, acacia door, dark oak gate, jungle oak gate, spruce oak gate, birch gate, acacia gate, brewing stand, and trapped chest to Towny switch protection list
• Removed money from the /bs /menu
• Stopped removing minecarts from the server
• Added messages to make it more obvious when people win bonus points from voting
• Added topg to /vote sites
• Pets are back for donors, Use /pet

TLDR; Violet is coming, 1.11 shinies, rules are for fools!
Violet
Greetings folks! I'm here to confirm that yes, Violet will be launching tomorrow. The network will be offline starting at 12AM MST GMT-7 (December 2st), and will offline until 5AM MST GMT-7 (December 2nd) Violet will be our first ever Factions server. So bear with us as we as staff acclimate to the new systems, and growing pains as we expand to the new digs. In addition this server will the first 1.11 server on supernoobs.net.

Scarlet
Tonight will also be the first major test for 1.11 on Scarlet. All things permitting, by tomorrow Scarlet will be running 1.11. That being said, there's still always a chance that the server is not updated.

Azure
As many of who have tried Azure know, it's a little bit of a cluster fuck at the moment. Azure was launched a few years ago riddled with issues, and hasn't ever really had a major reset. Well- today I'm announcing coming in the next month we will be resetting Azure. All islands, members, backpacks, and inventory data will be reset. We will be granting players bonuses based on the current island level of the player. In the case of an island with more than one member, all four members will receive the same rewards on the reset server.

As part of the reset, I plan to have a working nether, larger island spaces, and reworked anticheat measures. In addition the shop prices will be touched up, spawners will be added, and the voting crate will be reworked.

HERE BE RULE CHANGES
So, I've been wanting to touch these up for quite a while and am just now getting around to drafting all of these. These are not set in stone, and are meant to reflect the values of the community. Minimizing misunderstanding between staff and players is a number one priority. Being reasonable with our rules makes this place what it is. The wiki, /rules, and signs in spawn will be updated tomorrow with these rules, however I...
