Hi! Lots of things have changed since the server started. I’m a relatively new player (only been on the server for eight months or so), so I don’t know all that’s happened in these years, I hope other more experienced players can fill in the blanks. Also, what I’m saying only applies to the Survival Server, I’m not too active on the Dropper Server. But here’s what I know:
Firstly, the currency has changed from gold to diamonds, anyone with 100k+ has had their money changed back to 100k. I think you can recover the gold you’ve lost if you had over 100k, however I’m not entirely certain so you’ll have to double check. Here’s a link to another forums post discussing the matter in more detail: Economy change - Gold to Diamonds - News - Tallcraft Forum
Secondly, I’m not sure if this was a part of Tallcraft while you were active, but there’s a claiming system - use a golden shovel to claim land and other commands to lock other blocks such as chests and furnaces. Of course, just ignore this if this was a thing a few years back (probably was to be honest). Anyways, here’s a link to Neverywhere’s forums post about the claim system: Protecting yourself, your land and your blocks - Support / Guides - Tallcraft Forum
Lastly, there’s a bunch of new players joined and older players gradually becoming less active. We can’t talk about all of them, that would take months and months, there are so many of us who’ve joined Tallcraft through the years. It’s always great to hear from the OG players who’ve come back!
Thanks, from Istax
