CV7: Rift and CV7 Launch Details

[WallyDonkey]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rift

Rift will begin at 3pm EST on Saturday 16th January 2021. Regions will disappear, chests will unlock, TNT will explode and PvP will be enabled. The usual rules go out the window and chaos reigns (though there are some Rift specific rules still, please see below). Rift will last until 11am EST on Sunday 17th January 2021. At that point CV6 will officially close in preparation for CV7 opening.

➳ The Rules of Rift

• No attempting to hack into the server itself or any staff accounts. Any attempt to jeopardize the security of the server will result in a permanent ban.
• No swearing. This chat rule still applies.
• Be respectful and considerate of others. Keep Rift fun for everyone. Do not hold grudges, do not be overly aggressive to others trying to enjoy Rift. Do not pressure people into joining Rift if they do not wish to.
• Do not dump lava at the /spawn point. It keeps people from being able to access CVC quickly and is not fun. Staff are not there to clean up after you.
• When Rift ends, all of the drama of Rift ends. When Rift is closed and we move on to the new map; do not hold grudges, do not bicker in chat, do not continue feuds.
• All player ranks will be disabled during rift, ensuring a level playing field for everyone

➳ Witching Hour

For the final hour of rift, between 10am and 11am EST on Sunday 17th January 2021, staff powers will be on the table and further chaos reigns. Dragons may appear in CVC, hordes of mobs appearing from nowhere, OP weapons on offer...anything goes. Join us for the last hour of rift to see if you can survive...

Note that this only applies to the final hour of rift, otherwise there will be a level playing field between staff and citizens, keeping everything fair and fun for all.

Rest in peace CVC...

CV7 Launch

The new Cubeville map will launch around 1pm EST on Sunday 17th January 2021, so long as everything goes well during the transition period (any delays will be announced on discord and the forum). Everyone will join as a brand new player, running through tutorial and starting from scratch. There is a fresh world out there waiting for you to explore it, to fill it with builds and to make new memories together.

➳ What happens to the old map?

CV6 isn't going to just disappear! We are aiming to have it available for sightseeing pretty soon after CV7 launches, and then later it will be available for world download, as are our other maps. You'll still be able to visit your favourite builds, and you can bring others with you to take a look too.

this. will. be. chaos.

[bahamabucks]

This sounds like my kind of party. Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order
Normal is an illusion
So what will you do, in this fools illusion?

When Rift ends, all of the drama of Rift ends. When Rift is closed and we move on to the new map; do not hold grudges, do not bicker in chat, do not continue feuds.

We're allowed to hold grudges, bicker in chat and continue feuds during rift?

For the final hour of rift, between 10am and 11am EST on Sunday 17th January 2021, staff powers will be on the table and further chaos reigns. Dragons may appear in CVC, hordes of mobs appearing from nowhere, OP weapons on offer...anything goes. Join us for the last hour of rift to see if you can survive...

Dragons may appear? Wally if you have anything to do with being there, there will be dragons and chaos at spawn also i highly doubt we'll survive.

CV6 is going to be in total ruins right before rift ends. that sight will probably be both satisfying and sad.

Yeah - I will be having a day at the end of the map of non-rift preparing where I can go touring all of the old stuff I've built over the years, all of the skylands games, the towns, landmarks etc

Please note that the following has been added to the Rift rules:

• All player ranks will be disabled during rift, ensuring a level playing field for everyone

The question was asked recently and, after some discussion at the SA level, we agreed that in the interest of a level playing field for all during rift, it would make sense to disable player ranks. This is along the same line of reasoning as restricting staff abilities until the end of rift.
