It is broken this has been posted and addressed my God’s. Close this topic and read the right post.

They are working to resolve the issue.

I love 1.9 pvp personally. @Reptaria gg you have finally done it, you scheduled the elven ball during one day i can’t show up ^_^

Side note keeping it private would not stop the attacks…

Lucky you will be missed 🙁

the sad thing about shields is that the shields don’t have the same number of pixels that the banners do, so be sure to test ur new banners on the shield to see if u like them lol

Yeah this was really disappointing; that and arrows dont stick in them ?

That’s really funny when it bounces off and hits somebody, we should make a shield bouncy wall

*~*1.9 update: the story the piratecraft elite wont let you know*~*

(this is conspiracy theorist trope btw, be prepared)

There I was, building my city, when a man, who shall remain anonymous, knocked on my gate, this is his story, word-for-word from the interview:

[Me (M)]- “so, [REDACTED], you say you have some information on why the 1.9 update is taking so long to get to PirateCraft, tell me about that.”

[NOTE: this was prior to the 1.9 update unleashing onto PirateCraft]

[Anonymous (A)]- “yes, thats right, I dont have much time, admins and GodsDead himself are monitoring the logs, looking to see any wistleblowers, I’m gonna have to delete some log info after this, I’m taking a huge risk here, I hope you know.”

[m]- “Yes, I see, now, please tell me the info you wish to share, I have a word document open.”

[A]- “ok, a while back, the admins all had a little meeting, they wanted to discuss the 1.9 update, with the recent banning of Elexander, the discussion was brought up of PvP crews getting stronger than they already are due to the updates more realistic fighting mechanics.”

[m]- “I see, what was said?”

[A]- “well, they wanted to start monitoring PvP crews more closely, CoV, Solis, even Creed, they were fearing an uprising, and they thought this update may just be the final straw.”

[m]- “But some of the admins are apart of CoV, how did they think they would react to this?”

[A]- “they tried to convince us that those crews are too powerful, they wanted us to spy on them.”

[there is a pause of around a minute]

[m]- “you still with me, [REDACTED]?

[A]- “yeah, I’m here, editing the data log.”

[m]- “I see, and why are you telling me this?”

[A]- “because you’re trustworthy, truth is, I dont know”

[A]- “the server is about to restart, I wont be on after it, if you’re gonna discuss this with someone, have it be everyone”

the conversation ends, the next day he refuses to talk about the topic, and a while later, suposedly due to a civilian knowing of this scheme, the server is updated to 1.9, no admin ever discussed this topic with me again

Right, I’m going to clean up the BE wiki page. We need to produce a new atlas as our latest public map is over half a year old.

The coordinates of our CURRENT settlements as of 21.04.2016 are:

Karjat – (-4700 -5000)
Vendigroth – (-5920 -3600) [This is “Rome” on the comprehensive map.]
Port Hope – (-230 -2600)
Gloomsbay – (-1300 -7200)
Port Panem – (-350 -7666)
Port Royal – (275 1300)
Canada – (-4130 -3500)
Port Vernesse – (-3080 -7160)
Ionith – (1320 2564) [= Edori_an’s Temple Islands]
Isle of Zeal (275 700)
British HQ – (-4000 -2350)
London (-1860 -530)
Fort Fang (-3804, -2991)
Whiskey Peak (-4300, -2860)
Mariejois (-3500, 2020)
Gildor_stinky’s Town (-3700, -6400)
Hamsfield Court (-5845, 1000)

Other things to adjust:

-o- Bridgetown down south-east belongs to RavetheWave. He is no longer in the BE, but a member of Solis.
-o- Goldton, Westeros, Newfoundland, Corfadia, Port Brankling and Port Blue (or whatever that British island is in the western ocean) are inactive and uninhabited. New Clankton possibly too.
-o- Fort Wolf on the map should be removed and replaced with Wolfshire. Wolfshire is an old popular shop town run by Ma_c_hi, an old mod who hasn’t been online in a long time.
-o- SuperGL’s Town (another mod who hasn’t been online for a long time) is another settlement west of the Cove worth putting on the map.
-o- CallieMav’s Town is also worth putting on the mod settlement list.
-o- Port Lacomus belongs to Reaper, yet another mod town!
-o- Nearby across the water are Skymanjay’s old town (can’t find it actually, was it regenerated?!) and a Dutch settlement founded by TimHuisman (Oldenburgh?).
-o- Havanna on the far East of the comprehensive map was regenerated after a war. It is now the Oriental Empire of China. But OEoC is inactive, and Havanna was better known. Your call.
-o- Cirquo’s Castle is a blast and deserves some recognition! He was in the BE for a long time, then joined the EE shortly before disappearing on a new project on a different server.
-o- Delta Tower is somewhere in the world. No idea where, but it’s epic!
-o- Vivenheim on the comprehensive map is the Verussian main state you are looking for. Dunno if this is it’s official name. Verussia merged with Rohan btw, so I’m not sure what they’re called now.
-o- Metropolis belongs to Konstruktor, one of the members of Atlantis.
-o- Carmory belongs to Sting, who is unaffiliated.
-o- New Faythe is somewhere, it’s part of the Iborian Empire.
-o- And don’t forget the Cove. 😉

There is much, much more stuff that I haven’t mentioned or don’t know about. These are the main things that occur to me off the top of my head. Hope they help. 🙂

If cannons cannot damage hard blocks in claims, why then there are a lot of topics about destroyed cities? How did these cities manage to get blown up? I’m sure everybody builds structures with at least stone bricks…

People trust the wrong people; they get backstabbed, its possible to toggle explosions inside a claim if you have trust on it.

Let me start off by saying, this is absolutely stellar work, it looks absolutely fantastic, plus with accurate settlements added, that’s magnificent! im blown away by the time and effort put into this project, I hope you can continue to work on such an amazing project, and I want to help you as best as I can!

I tried my hand at this kind of thing way back in 2014, I created a graphic of the world map but I didn’t put the settlements on though! I wish I did so we could have compared what a difference 2 years makes!

From http://piratemc.com/2014/10/01/world-border-expanded-new-ship-type/

Its amazing to see the map change so much in that time!

I think this is a great time to get people to put some markers on the map for you!

I have tried to get people to mark their settlements on the map, currently donators can actually place a marker under the settlements category on the live map, if you hover over the layers tab top left of the live map, you can select settlements, I highly suggest everyone help out @AppleJK by marking your settlement on the map; methods on how to do so are listed on http://piratemc.com/map/ this is a donator only perk to avoid abuse; Custom flag/icons can be requested from this thread http://piratemc.com/topic/custom-map-icons/ for any new crews that would like a custom one.

What is quite hard, is a lot of people create private groups on the website with their settlement Coordinates, they keep them private to avoid getting raided and work in small crews. There was also a very outdated thread created to try and list settlements; http://piratemc.com/groups/settlements/forum/topic/list-of-settlements/ which has now been moved to the wiki http://wiki.piratemc.com/PirateCraft_1 for people to list settlements based on map, which I also encourage people to please also fill out, even for the sake of creating a history, citys rise and fall, get taken over, sold or blown to bits!

I’m very impressed Apple, and I do hope you continue this project, it would be fantastic to get a IRL map printed out! Im willing to re-render the world using other software to output high quality images of the map aswell, i’ve used a few in the past and each has their own results!

Hopefully the community will recognise this wonderful addition to the community we have here at PirateCraft and start to play alongside you in-game 🙂

Edit: got me thinking about the map icons; we haven’t had any updated map icons in literally years; Im sure we could have better North, East, South and West icons, I mostly use the built in icons from dynmap; I love the choice of almost game of thrones style “house” icons used on the map decoration; maybe a pin design might look cool, where it looks like a pirate has pinned into the map the settlements? Anywho; maybe we need a complete set of brand new icons for players to choose from when plopping down an icon on the map, anyone up for the challenge?

Wait, what are you saying exactly. Are you trying to bring forward the topic of players being butthurt for dying?

@Jenny85 I happened to make a list of (almost) all the active crews on the forums only a month ago! Check it out here:

PirateCraft Active Crew List March 2016

The maps on the BE wiki page are old but roughly accurate, there is also an old map of the EE here: http://imgur.com/ZwMGwHP

SPQR created a map of their realms a few weeks back, but I can’t find it any more! Verussia and XE share a continent and have made maps in the past. But again, I can’t find them in a hurry…
