After many months of hard work, the Event Staff Team is proud to unveil to you a few features that will appear in Solitude. Now without further delay, let's start!
1) Brand new mobs
Now who doesn't love new mobs? We know you love them and so do we. Whether they are simple reskin twists of classic mobs or totally brand new. They make gameplay ever so much more fun and surprising . In Solitude, we have chosen to include both vanilla mobs and some new ones as well.
Now this is where it gets fun. You the player, get to decide which one of the 3 mobs we will reveal before server opens. The poll with close when the 2nd feature is revealed, and at the same time we will reveal the winning mob.
2) GUI Menus and Speech Bubbles
A brand new immersive feature that has not appeared in any Blocktopia or Escape Restart servers. Will appear in Solitude. So let's start off with our GUI Menus.
All it took was a simple right click.
With a limit of 30 characters, you don't have to worry about the air becoming clogged with these bubbles.
3) Join Shops and Pick 8
Here at Solitude, we try to give everyone a fighting chance from the beginning to the endgame.
In order to make the endgame content more exciting, we decided to increase the dangers/difficulty of the world. But in order to make it fair for all, we had to somehow come up with a system that would make it easier for the "new guy." So what we came up with was the "Join Shop".
Utilizing the user friendliness of the Kami Shops. Buying your starting loadout is a breeze.
Will you go for the Elytra? Or is there something else better?
In order to keep things balanced we had to do a creative twist between a non-Minecraft game and AoD's kits. We like to call it the Pick 8 system of Build-a-Kit. (No we did not blatantly steal that idea from you know where.)
In Pick 8, as the name describes, you can only pick 8 items. Now there is a wide range of items you can choose from. From weapons, to food, to even blocks. And that is the brilliance of this system, you really can't go wrong with your choices. Plus, it keeps things balanced at the same time.
Want a cool item, great... But is it the best choice? Well that is up for you to decide.
As for non-Join Shops, you'll just have to wait and see...
(Disclaimer: Prices and Quantity are subject to change, for the sake of balance.)4) Guns
This here is the single biggest change in SMP history. Solitude will feature 2 different types guns at the opening of the server. (But throughout the course of the server, more weapons will become available.) But don't think that guns will be the answer to all your problems... Because they carry their own problem, the hard to come by thing... ammo.
That's right, if you run out of ammo... well... the gun will become useless. And since you won't be able to craft ammo. You will need to rely on buying it.
5) Thirst and Toxicity
And now for the final reveal. I present to you, the thirst and toxicity mechanics. With these mechanics in place, the world will be tougher than your normal smp.
With thirst, well... you get thirsty. So make sure you pack a few bottles of water for your journeys and don't worry there will be plenty of sources of water.
As for toxicity, well... I'll leave it up as a surprise for tomorrow. But I will say one thing: "Pumpkins are your friend."
1) Brand new mobs
Now who doesn't love new mobs? We know you love them and so do we. Whether they are simple reskin twists of classic mobs or totally brand new. They make gameplay ever so much more fun and surprising . In Solitude, we have chosen to include both vanilla mobs and some new ones as well.
Now this is where it gets fun. You the player, get to decide which one of the 3 mobs we will reveal before server opens. The poll with close when the 2nd feature is revealed, and at the same time we will reveal the winning mob.
Winning Mob: Is C) Spider of Death.
This nasty little bugger is slightly tougher than your average spider. With the ability of being invisible, you will have to stay on your toes.

A brand new immersive feature that has not appeared in any Blocktopia or Escape Restart servers. Will appear in Solitude. So let's start off with our GUI Menus.
Navigation is simple now. With a short command, you can open up the menu. By navigating with your pointer and a simple right click, you can access some of the commonly used commands. Via this menu, you will also be able to get answers to commonly asked questions as well, without even having to minimize the game.
All it took was a simple right click.
Also making a debut in Solitude, are speech bubbles. Which will add both to the immersion of the server and will cater to those who love to roleplay. Whether you are a part of that group or not, you will love this feature. It's a win win for all.
With a limit of 30 characters, you don't have to worry about the air becoming clogged with these bubbles.

With Join Shops in place, not only can we beef up the world. But we are also able to make it fair for those late comers. "Now how does this work?" you may ask. Well it is quite simple, when you join, you are given a stack of 64 [BCOLOR=#ffcc00]Gold Bars[/BCOLOR].
Will you go for the Elytra? Or is there something else better?
