Raid Reset- The Return of 1.8

​

@Raiders,

After much discussion and deliberation with our community, we have decided to fully revert Raid back to 1.8! We are excited and proud to go back to our roots and bring our players an experience that they enjoyed so much in the past. This will bring back what players loved so much about our classic gamemode -- action-packed PvP, competitive tracking, and a hardcore experience like never before. Without further ado, here's everything you need to know about next map.

☰ What

For the reset, the world you have PvPed in, made your bases in, tracked & raided in will be replaced by a fresh, new world, full of new possibilities. This means all bases, items, warps, teams, and gold will be gone with the reset.

You will not keep anything but your player rank! In addition to this, some big changes are coming out in the new map - See below.

For those players who are new to Raid, or Hardcore Survival servers, here is a shortlist of Raid's features:

• The ability to track other players by building trackers
• A shop to sell any kind of item to other players
• Mob stacking to simplify experience farms and reduce lag
• A custom spawn with protection to provide an environment for players to meet and prepare for PvP
• The ability to capture mobs with eggs and levels
• A weekly KOTH Event
• The ability to change spawners to different mob types with dragon eggs
• Fish for days!

☰ What's New?

Spoiler: Raid Tokens/Voting

We have decided to implement a new way to redeem vote token rewards on Raid. To increase vote participation and keep things as balanced as possible on this map we have introduced Raid Tokens. Raid tokens work the same way as vote tokens except every player will start with a balance of 0 and they will reset every map so that no player can save up and ruin the economy. You will also receive normal vote tokens as well, you just won't be able to use them to purchase raid rewards. We have adjusted vote prices to reflect this as well. They are as follows​

As usual, we will be hosting pop-up events and doing giveaways to lead up to the new map. Join our Discord here to stay updated on the latest happenings.

Other than that, we have tried to keep this map as consistent as possible will our old maps so that our players can enjoy it to its fullest extent and appreciate the nostalgia that is Classic Raid. Let us know what you think and continue to give us feedback on our Discord.
