Announcing the Dirt Build Contest!
NickG365 Owner replied to NickG365 Owner's topic in Events and Contests
Yep! It just needs to look like it's made of at least 75% dirt -- the other 25% is up to you! -
The latest and greatest PickAxis build contest has arrived! Get ready to build the most awe-inspiring and magnificent creation of your life... with tons of dirt! That's right, it's the Dirt Build Contest! Now through the end of the day on April 7th, let your creativity run wild! Just jump onto the build contest server (/server buildcontest), claim a plot (/plot auto), build something awesome, and submit it (/plot done) before building ends on April 7th! We'll announce the winners a few days after that. Speaking of winners, check out the prizes for this contest: 1st place 40 Coins 2nd place 30 Coins 3rd place 20 Coins And of course, don't forget the bragging rights to having the awesomest* and most marvelous dirt creation! Sometimes it's more fun to build as a team, so we've got you covered! Teams can split the prize and glory!** So, let's talk rules. Yeah, we've gotta. I know, I know... I'll make this quick. First, don't go off and build anything offensive! I don't want to end up having to disqualify dirt-y builds. Second, make sure that your build looks like it's made of at least 75% dirt. This can be any kind of dirt, whatever your heart desires! Be sure to submit your plot with /plot done when you're finished, so that we can find it for judging! Oh, and we'll be judging based on creativity, originality, design, and adherence to the use-a-lot-of-dirt rule. So what are you waiting for?! Get out there and build something awesome! * "Awesomest" isn't a real word, but if it were, that would be pretty awesome! It's totally the kind of word we'd use to describe really cool things made of dirt. ** We're not sure how splitting glory works, but we've been assured it can be done without even needing any power tools (we typically use a saw to split the coin rewards). April Fools'! But hey, this is an actual contest, so get to building!

Toboein created a lot of them around the holidays in 2014.

I think you'll be happy to hear that we're planning on announcing another build contest very soon. There's quite an interesting theme to this one, and hopefully we'll be able to hold them more often again afterwards.

Hey there r4ans0m, Next time you experience this lag, can you type /lag in-game and then report back here so I can take a closer look. If you experience it more than once when you next play, use /lag once each time. Thanks!

Not at all! We won't be resetting any servers for the 1.9 update. Additionally, we would never reset a server without providing advance warning.

We hope you're having an awesome experience at PickAxis, but if something's not living up to our high standards, we'll do our best to make it right. If you need to get in touch with us, you can use one of the following methods: Have a cool idea for PickAxis? Share it in the Suggestions and Feedback forum. Having technical difficulties? We'd be happy to help out in the Technical Support forum. If you've been banned and would like to submit an appeal, get in touch via the Talk to an Owner forum. Need to contact us about a purchase issue, or something not covered above? If you have an account on the PickAxis website, open a support ticket. If you don't have an account, use the contact form.

We discussed this idea when we were developing the coin system for PickAxis. Ultimately, we decided against it for a few reasons. We felt that the conversion rate would have to be too high for such a system. As you mentioned, 500 tokens for 1 coin would mean 100 days of consistent voting just for the iron rank. That's over 3 whole months, even longer if you bought anything else from the token shop during that time. We'd much rather you get something in a shorter time frame -- it shouldn't feel like a long grind! This is why you see some individual elements from the coin ranks in the token shop, as well as some other unique upgrades. Additionally, we hope to add other ways to earn tokens in the future. Because of this, we're not sure how the token economy could change. Maybe you'll eventually be able to earn 100 tokens per day. With this in mind, we don't want there to be any exchange between the token and coin systems -- we want the token system to remain very flexible for changes in the future. We would, however, like to add more items to the token shop. If you have any ideas for what those items should be, we'd love to hear them! Ultimately, you should be able to build your own rank from the token shop, getting individual perks over time. Of course, some perks will be exclusively available from coins, and others exclusive to the token shop.

This is something that we've discussed before and would like to do in the future, but we have other (hopefully more exciting) things that we'd like to do first.

Welcome to the Upgraded PickAxis Community Site
NickG365 Owner replied to NickG365 Owner's topic in Announcements
Yes, followers replaced the friends list. We opted not to convert friends to followers, because then you'd start getting notifications and emails whenever they post that you may not have wanted. -
We've just completed an overhaul of the PickAxis community site. You'll find that we've modernized quite a few features and the look of the site. In particular, you might find the new activity streams worth checking out. Activity streams can show you what's new on the site, or content that you haven't seen yet. Let us know what you think of the update in the comments!

We would like to add pets in the future, but most likely without the combat aspect. It might be possible for pets to battle each other, but probably not to help you fight out in the wild. What are your thoughts on us implementing it this way?
