April 2018 Staff Meeting Agenda & Notes 
 Saturday April 28th, at 5pm EDT.

Creative

  •  Rev 33 update
    • Made a post about the revision, so everyone knows that it's going on a bit longer
    • Things are going pretty well
    • Barlimore mentioned he likes the reddit posts Holli has been making with shaders and such

PvE 

  • Rev 22 update
    • A few more moderators trained up this week 4
    • Land Claim Grief
      • Discussion on how to handle this type of request.
    • A number of changes from the tech team since the last staff meeting, including:
      • Signtext for players on P (thanks pez)
      • A few handy moderations to some older commands we use to restore pets (thanks pez)
      • An update to easyrider, incorporating a number of past suggestion box requests from players - there's a link on the forum if you haven't noted the changes yet (thanks totemo).
      • On a similar note, bermuda has been working on a possible fix for the issues players are having with drops from the dragon. Hopefully if it goes well, drops should be able to be received directly in the player inventory upon dragon death.
    • Note: We've spent countless hours discussing feedback so far this revision. At least largely in part due to the survey feedback, which we've since responded to. A number of the suggestions found Didy and myself in disagreement with one another on the course of action, so we had to hold additional meetings throughout the past two weeks to further those discussions, before reaching team decisions.
    • Reminder of the ongoing poetry competition - grand prize includes a fortune IV pickaxe.
    • Discussion of bringing new padmins to the team

May 2018 Staff Meeting Agenda & Notes 

Saturday June 2nd, at 5pm EDT.

Creative

  • Going smoothly
  • Waiting for Dumbo to add traincarts

PvE

  • 24 people have completed the maze and claimed the prize, padmins continue to keep an eye on the progress. 65 people have started the maze, which is a good turn out.
  • Poetry competition was won by buzzie 71, 32 valid poems were received from fun to sad.
  • [redacted]
  • Progress made in future events and further the story line going on. Will be a large effort for us to put together.
  • Lost Slime Golems are still available. Basic hide and seek around the map.
  • Other events are also in the plans.
  • Since the last meeting there’s been a team increase, currently 4 padmins and it has allowed some more relax time for all.
  • Map world is getting an update. Old map world maps are also returning. Lots of new plots.
  • The newest tech admin has done some very helpful work already for PvE: special thanks for the shulker box content logging upon death.
  • More trades at spawn, including decorative skulls
  • Hopper policy has been introduced after testing. https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/4921-new-policy-regarding-hoppers/
  • Rev mid point is arriving, so padmins will be seeking feedback in the coming weeks, in the form of a subreddit post and forum topic for preparation of rev 23. We will also be reviewing feedback we have already received this revision from the suggestion box, survey and elsewhere before making decisions for Revision 23.
  • It’s likely that rev 22 will remain on 1.12 since the technical changes are so big, however the aim is that rev 23 would be on 1.13 (or the current version at the time) if it’s out.
