The Open Beta has started! - yottabyte - 01-13-2012
![[Image: QI70O.png]](http://i.imgur.com/QI70O.png)
We are pleased to announce that due to our original intentions along with popular demand, we have worked overtime to gather the skeleton of a Kiwike: Revamped Beta. The map, the server. Everything is ready. The only element we're missing to bring this skeleton to life? Why, the players of course!
Help us help you. That may be one of the biggest cliches out there but nothing else would fit better. We're looking for new and old players alike to test our newly created plugins to their max, and to help us patch up anything that we might have done wrong.
Bring your friends over to the Revamped Beta and let them get a taste of what this revolutionary server will hold for the future. Simply follow the link below, sign yourself up, and begin to enjoy the complete uniqueness that Kiwike has to offer.
Further information can be found through the link, and most importantly, to help us get any kinks out of the system, the Beta Support section of the forum will be open for anyone to use.
We wish you the best
tl;dr version:
We are happy to announce the beginning of the open Kiwike: Revamped beta tests. We encourage you all to join us at http://kiwike.se/beta/ today
See you there, and have a good day
Beta Server IP: kiwike.se:24558
Minecraft version: 1.0.0
Do not update to 1.1 yet!
Beta launch features
I'm just going to set you up with the basics of what the beta currently has to offer. More information will come in time.
- NPC conversations
Interact with NPCs using right-click and the /re command.
- Custom spawns
Pick a spawn point when you sign up for the beta, and this will be your spawn point unless you have a bed. You can walk over to any other spawn point and talk to the NPC at that location to change your spawn!
- Party instances
Go on awesome adventures with your friends! Join up in a party and visit the stronghold entrances. Talk to the NPC to enter the stronghold instance. You will face lots of dangers in the stronghold. Rewards are few at the moment, but expect them soon!
This is not fully done as of today, I have set up an entrance at -980,-512 if you want to take a look at it, but we need to add the monster spawners in the stronghold and such
- Locks and lockpicks
A blacksmith is visiting the Inn (coords 140, 0) and he's selling locks for your chests! Buy a lock from him and put it on a chest by looking at it and using /lock. You can lockpick others' chests but only when they are online (There is a bit of delay so they can't just panic quit if someone is near their base, more information to come). Diamond, iron and gold hoes are the lockpicks. They all have a chance of breaking when picking, and picking a lock takes ~40 seconds. Pick a chest by equipping a hoe and left clicking it, then wait and don't move a muscle. Concentration is needed, my dear thieves. Lockpicks have different success rates, diamond being the highest rate, iron the lowest and gold in between the both.
- Spirits
Visit the server without being on the whitelist and have a look around. You aren't able to interact with the living or the environment as a spirit.
- Respawn protection and combat logging prevention
When respawning, you will be invincible for 10 seconds. Interact with another player and the spell will be broken. This is to prevent spawnkilling.
If you are hit by or hit another player and log off within 15 seconds of that, you are combat logging. This will automatically kill you! So be careful.
- New currency: Gold Nuggets
The basic currency in Revamped is Gold Nuggets (GN). These can be combined into gold ingots and gold blocks.
1 block = 9 bars = 81 nuggets.
- KiwiShips
Buy a ship license and go an awesome adventures in an airship! Works just like they did in 2.0.
As of writing this, a ship salesman does not exist yet, but expect him to arrive very soon!
