Old Player Looking To Come Back

I remember that a correction to the rule was made because people started referring the old players to it telling them they should dispose of their old emeralds or that they will report them for their vanilla water bottle. it went something along the lines of "you aren't allowed to own/sell vanilla items that involve the use of bugs and glitches in their acquirement".
a lot of players have vanilla items and didn't do anything illegal to get them. the old currency was vanilla, health potions turn into vanilla glass bottles after you drink them, you can fill said bottles up to create vanilla water bottles (and the players were actually required to do that for a quest until the gavel update), you could drink the milk you buy from merchants and get a vanilla bucket and there were a lot of gm fuck ups when it comes to merchants selling vanilla items. the players did nothing wrong to get those items and some have strong memories associated with those items.
I understand that you don't want people to create more of those items or limit (cant outlaw it completely, black markets are always a thing) the market for them and outlaw the trading of vanilla items. but I don't see the harm in keeping a souvenir from the good old times.

 

Step 1: Make sure you rp works
Step 2: If it works then you're luckier than me

 

Old emeralds and water bottles are fine, but we don't want other vanilla items getting into the game. It's easier to ban the items entirely than to just ban trade of them. I understand some people consider them souvenirs but not having a rule against them only encourages people to try and obtain them, which means more get into circulation, which makes it more likely that people will trade them.

 

what about an item that an npc used to sell?

 

I guess that's fine, it's why we didn't ban Nether Armor.

 

Aw man, I really wanted to keep it for myself as a memory of the good old times.

 

Banning items make sense though as if that said vanilla item is later used for another purpose and they code it to do something specific or look a certain way it'll cause problems

 

One thing I noticed when I started to play a little again is that I have a (Vet) tag next to my name when I'm typing in the chat, what does that mean and do?

 

it means you bought vip or vip+ before 1.12 which was the update that came out after the EULA was published.

 

If you played before the 1.12 update and had VIP you got the tag, since Wynn decided to follow EULA and make VIP only cosmetic. The tag is purely cosmetic. If you want, it can be disabled.

 

Thank you :)

 

You can disable it with /togglevet or /vet or whatever it is

 

Holy shit I still remember you. You and wortho tried to race to 70 on assassin and you were one of the top players at one point in time. Sadly many from that time have left however.

You also made a few yt vids, I remember they were also with wortho sometimes.

 

A veteran has returned!
Welcome back!

 

Welcome back

 

Yes we were racing, but stuff happened and it made me stop playing back then. However I'm back to playing a little bit again now and a lot of stuff really changed for the better, I love it :)

 

Hey i feel you. I also forgot all the things since this huge update. I'm a old "Wynner" from 2014 and top 10 nether area player :P
