Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Welcome to Woodstock Commons! Our server is a personally owned dedicated server located in a data center in Atlanta. It is highly secured and established for a max reliability, low ping service. The server is set to allow ease of play. The mindset of this era in time is the aftermath of an on-going exodus, forcing hardy adventurers to make their way and re-establish themselves in far away lands. Features of the server include: Server Map - Dedicated Server ran inside Intermap ( http://www.internap.com/ ) - 8192 x 8192 squares in size - Modest resources scattered throughout the islands - Web based map to server updated every 24hrs ( http://64.95.62.130/ ) - Minimal down/maintenance time (24 hour restart, generally 9.30 EST) - PvP only island (in progress) - 75,000 animals on map - New predators and prey (mod) - Skill multiplier is 5x - Max server population 200 - Body control start is 22.00 (enable immediate mounting of horse due to size of map) Starter Town (Woodstock Commons) - Accessible mine - Usable forge and ovens - Numerous traders - Public mine - Docks - PvP Arena (in progress) - Open stalls for establishment of Personal Traders Alternate Starter Town (In Progress) - Located on different end of map - Public Mine - Public Forge and Oven - Traders - Docks - Open market stalls Settlements - Settlement size is 6400 tiles (You can build smaller and should, as while there is no cost to found a settlement, upkeep is enabled and your settlement will decay if the fee is not paid for the upkeep) - Two settlement deeds per player - Free to establish - Monthly maintenance (upkeep) costs - Crops do not wither Used Mods - Live Map - In game map - Stablemaster - Deed Mod - Creature Mod - Crop Mod (No rot, 8 hour crop cycles) - Harvest Helper (Announce Season) - Stable Master - Hitching Host - Inbreed Warning - Bounty Mod NOTE: As the numbers of the server increase, an option of a Teamspeak channel dedicated to server may be established. This will ease in the correction of server issues and fixes GMs can assist with as well as allow players to interact with each other.

Posted July 17, 2016 Hi, i just started on your server and went straight to the public mine. This is what i get: [13:25:03] This action is not allowed here, because the tile is on a player owned deed that has disallowed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 17, 2016 I apologize about that. Being a new server we worked out as many issues as we could but unfortunately there will still be a few. Thank you for identifying it for us. It has been fixed and you can now mine in the public mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 26, 2016 Hi Everyone. Waffles here (or GMwaffles if you need help). Just wanted to update - server is running great and we're starting to get some new comers. It's a huge map, you start off being able to ride a horse (because really, who can't at least throw a leg over and ride), and we're a relaxed group. The starter town is fully fleshed out and running, we've bumped the creature limit (80,000 now), and we look forward to playing with you ! --Waffles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 2, 2016 Hi All, Server is still going strong. Plenty of land still left to settle, and beasts to tame or slay for bounties. Other than scheduled reboots, we are live 24/7 and having a great time ! We welcome anyone wanting to settle in the fair lands of Woodstock Commons ! Come check us out ! /Waffles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 10, 2016 Server is updated to 1.1.1, and is live again. We are living in the wild, and loving it. Come join our fun and check us out. Don't forget we have that live map so you can get orientated in the world. /Waffles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2016 Hi All, So after an unexpected Windows update that shut the server down, I have restarted and verified that we are good to go. Come on in and hang out with us, we are having a blast, and it's a huge world ! /Waffles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2016 Don't forget, an absolutely huge map, bounties, and dedicated server, how could you go wrong? Get in here and establish already. If you guys play, it stays! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2016 Just started on your server. I found a place to settle but i have a question. Just how deep is the dirt? I have leveled to 70+ dirt deep and still no rock. I've never seen one this deep even with the deeper dirt mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have leveled to 70+ dirt deep and still no rock. I've never seen one this deep even with the deeper dirt mod. You need to look for visual cues. Usually small rocks on the surface indicate rock below. It is randomly generated so I cannot tell you how deep the dirt is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Ok. This is the first time in 1600 hours of play i couldn't get to rock on the side of a hill within 70 dirt levels. Just keep digging i guess. By the way, there is always rock below the dirt, just a matter of how deep. Nice map though Edited August 17, 2016 by Duckslayer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 22, 2016 Server maintenance completed, and server is back online. Looks like we have quite a few new villages that have sprung up :- ) Plenty of room for more folks, feel free to drop on by ! /Waffles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2016 Server rebooted and OS updated. We have a nice little community going, slowly growing, and would love to see even more players come enjoy a lag free, mature environment based server. Have Fun ! /Matthew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 24, 2016 Had bit of a look on your server tonight. Has potential, if i were to join i. Would want 200*200 the reason being is so i can swt up full orchards including winery, thing that still confuses me is how does one pay the upkeep? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The server is actually owned by GMwaffles. As far as upkeep it is quite simple. Killing wildlife offers bounties so any wildlife you kill gives you instant copper/silver/gold based on its level and difficulty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 27, 2016 Confirmed. Server is in my rack at a facility in Atlanta. We both play, it costs me $0 to run, and I have no intention of shutting it down. Come on in, and invite your friends ! /Waffles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 27, 2016 thanks I would, but i'm not keen on the whole killing wildlife pvp i'm more about just building and being creative, this is why I haven't joined a server because I don't want to be part of a server that is based around death, sorry just not my thing. and knowing the only way to get money to pay for upkeep is to kill an animal that is not threatening me, just does nothing for me, maybe because I see so much death around me, but good luck with the server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 27, 2016 Fair enough - although I wish you'd explain that philosophy to the wild cats and bears that seem to have no issue taking a swipe at me while I'm trying to find herbs and materials... LOL. good luck. /Waffles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate to say it but that is exactly why you haven't found a server, good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 27, 2016 no I have not, not at all, I just choose to play more for building. creative, building etc. Its coming on spring here down under so my mind is looking to things offline, so maybe not a good time to be finding a server I wont be on that for long for around 6 months, so i'll just stick to solo play, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) I like the map, lots of islands for solitary builders and good variety in landscape. Not peppered with hordes of aggressive monsters so one can build one's deed with relative peace. The huge map size is positive too, and in relation to that, the max deed size could well be double, and with less upkeep, I think. edit: I have been scouting, but where to find sand?

Sand is scattered everywhere but the easiest way to get it is from the public sand pit right outside the starter city. It is unlimited Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2016 There might be some imbalance between the mob bounties and deed upkeep. A full sized deed takes 12.8 silver each month. To cover that one needs to kill 427 wolves or 1280 cows or 2560 roosters every month. Much too much. What would be reasonable then? Everybody should comfortably enjoy a full sized deed. Two irons per tile would make 128 copper per month for a full sized deed. Playing every second day would mean 8.5 copper or 3 wolves per day. The possible surplus would be available for trading then.
