A RESET IS COMING - EVERYBODY RUN IN CIRCLES
We are announcing the 1 week countdown till the next world reset. We have scheduled it to occur sometime on Monday, October the 9th.

We will be allowing partial conversion of resources from the old world to the new. The way you will do this is with a ONE-TIME quest called "SaveMyShip." In order to do the quest, you MUST use a pre-approved cargo ship that will be provided to you, free of charge! To receive your cargo ship, type "!GiveResetContainer" in-game. This will deliver a ship directly to you. Do NOT modify this ship in ANY way. If you modify the ship, you will NOT be able to perform the SaveMyShip quest, as it checks to ensure no modifications were done. You are limited to ONE cargo ship per ACCOUNT. Multiple usernames will NOT receive multiple cargo ships. Instructions will also appear on display modules in the cargo ship.

There are two storages on the cargo ship. One is for capsules, alloyed metal mesh, and crystal composite ONLY. The other is for everything else EXCEPT for raw resources, Blueprints, and Block Storage Items. This is to allow you to have a certain amount of resources you bring into the new world. I feel we were pretty generous with this.

Once you have filled your cargo ship, enter it and then type, in-game: !quest start SaveMyShip
This will automagically save your ship so that it can be retrieved in the new world after the reset. It is recommended that you DEFACTION your cargo ship and remove ship permissions prior to doing the quest, so there are no problems in the new world with mis-aligned faction permissions.

AFTER the reset happens, you will be able to perform a "!quest start RestoreMyShip" quest, which will transfer the cargo ship to the new world. It will also transfer up to 250m credits from your old bank account from the old world (Use "!deposit all" to store your credits into your bank account before the reset!). Note that faction bank accounts will NOT be transferring, so please decide who will get these credits.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them NOW, because after the reset it will be too late! We will be deleting the old world.

Well, that should be all for now. If I think of anything else to add here, I will add edits later.

And as always, thank you for playing on LvD! :D

So paints and armor hardeners have to go in the second storage correct?

 

[NaStral]

Sounds about right.

The reset happend one week ago.

The reset has happened!

(Like a while ago)

So, for those who did the SaveMyShip quest (by running "!quest start SaveMyShip"), you can do the the RestoreMyShip quest! (Type !quest start RestoreMyShip). This will return your cargo ship to you AND/OR up to 250m credits from your old bank account. So ANY player that had credits stored into their bank account can also run the quest to get their credits, but they will get Melvin complaining to them about them not having a sector export. Just ignore this.

So what is new in this reset?

In the interest of more fun PVP, we are implementing stricter rules on ship sizes and have lowered the mining bonuses. The old max ship size was 1m mass, new is 500k. The old mining bonus was 22x, new is 11x. The rewards from quests will remain the same, thus making them twice as valuable. We are hoping these changes will help in our quest to have acceptable lag during combat. We hope the community understands that TitanMade is a great game, for those who do not actually use their ships! haha

And in other news, wrapper 2.0 and the event engine are coming along slowly but surely. I have big plans for the event engine and quest engine as I continue to build up the back-end scripting necessary. So far I have gotten close to being able to release the SpeedBolt Arena! So stay tuned!

With the update to weapons 2.0, LvD is now switching completely to ALL 2.0 technology. 1.0 is gone! Kaput! Goodbye!

We have also made a few decisions this reset. In no particular order:
- This is a full reset with no carryover from the old world. Everyone is now starting on equal footing!
- Mining bonuses will now be default but size restrictions are being lifted, to allow for a greater range or ship sizes we see out in the wild

So, as we transition to be fully 2.0, some features have been disabled till we can convert all the bases and ships to the shiney, new technologies! These features include quests, capture points, and the hub!

Good luck to all our players getting established in the brave new world! Expect more news as we continue to update all our server features! And as always, thank you for playing on LvD.
