The following post is very important, something that you might want to spread news about.
So the staff have recently decided that we needed to change the server. Currently, there are barely any active members. This is really disturbing as it questions the future of the server. As such, I decided to listen and make a decision. We will be changing the server's system completely. This includes how the spawn, permissions, staff, banning, and multi-worlds work. This change will take a significant amount of time considering exams are in the way. It can be done this weekend, or next weekend. Who knows. For a small preview of what we have been doing so far, I made a small video with commentary. This video also includes more information for the changes that might occur.
- Small Video:
- VIP and Above only:
If you have donated any amount of money to the server, you qualify for this.
I am thinking of including some randomly chosen people that meet this requirement to help out test the new server. Mainly will be working in permissions, and if staff agrees, will be allowed to work in building of structures for new worlds.
If staff has any disagreements, please post below.
- Blueprint?:
- There will be 4 MAIN worlds. Survival, PVP, Spawn, Game. With Survival and PVP, there will be a nether world for each. With Survival, there will be an End.
Attempt at Anti-Xray plugins again. Will find a configuration that doesn't lag the server as much.
Spawn World:
- Only Permissions given in this world would be the ability to talk and move. Every other permissions would be denied. Exceptions, Staff. This way they can edit Spawn if needed.
- Spawn world would contain center point with introduction to server, and guide to getting Member.
- From the Spawn, there will be 3 portals. One leads to Survival, one to PVP, one to Game World.

Survival:- From Survival, there will be 2 portals. One to Nether, other to End.
- Survival world would already have a city made. City is for NPC's to live in, but for certain regions to have different world guards to allow players to setup shop. City region will be protected 50 blocks out from city border. No one is allowed to build too close to city's spawn, unless given permission to.
- Types of shops in Survival include Wool/Dyes, Alchemy, and Blocks. Items that can be made (sticks, fences, tools) will not be sold.
- Warps will not be sold unless these conditions are met. $25,000 is payed. Warp is for a Town/Market.For Town/Market, a minimum of 5 citizens/shopkeepers are to be located there, excluding owner if it is a Town. Buildings must be setup.Personal warps may not be made for ANYONE, that is what homes are for. Exceptions can be made. Private Warps may be made for $1. Buyer may choose who to allow at warp (max: 10 people / 1 group and above). Explanation later. Requirements being reconsidered.

PVP:
- Will attempt to change so that Faction tags only show up in PVP world.
- More...
Game:
- PVP will be enabled in this world. PVP will be disabled by World Guard in certain regions, like Spawn.
- Into the game world, a lobby will be the spawn area. This lobby will have portals setup. These portals won't be used to travel between worlds, but they will be used to travel to different regions of the world. World will be divided to 4 regions. Region 1 (Mob Arena), Region 2 (PVP Arena / HG), Region 3 (Basic / Redstone), Region 4 (Spleef). Plugins will be found for these plugins.
- Guests will be allowed to build in this world. This is for things like hunger games, pvp arena, mob arena, and spleef.
- Architects and Customs will be allowed to create arenas for the Game World.

This is the basic blueprint for the future ZidoCraft's permissions.
Donators:
- A PVP rank will be created for those that donate. This rank will be able to spawn a PVP kit. Items not yet decided for Kit. (Idea Only)
- I will actually fix home limits.
- I will fix Vanish working with Essentials /list
- More...
Warps:
- Private Warps bought by paying $1 in real money, not in game money. (More info later)
-- I will have to personally setup permissions and create per warp permissions.
-- Private means that a person needs to have the permission in order to use AND see that the warp exists.

Some things have been removed as it doesn't concern members as much. More towards staff.
This is a work in progress. Please leave suggestions, questions, comments, or feedback below. Thanks for your time and I truly hope you read all of it.
More info to come...
