This thread will be used for anything related to the Exodus arena. It will be updated frequently with rankings, tourney dates, previews, updates, etc.

Since the arena is not fully built yet, for the meantime it'll be used as a preview thread, to give everyone a sneak peak of the mega build, currently being built by myself, with abit of help from Pandemic and Alliteration.

Fraps,
Sony Vegas.

Spent about 2 hours making this video, the editing is terrible, because vegas was lagging really bad for some reason(didn't even know i had vegas installed on my computer). In this video you can see the finished Exodus arena, and a preview of the champions house. I'm currently without internet, and was superbored, so i decided to burn some time by making this video.

For those curious what the champions mansion is for. The elo rankings leader, or champion, will be given the privilage of having a free mansion in the city of exodus, once the champion falls to second in the elo rankings, he loses access to the mansion/realm, and the new champion gains access to it. This won't be the only prize, rewards will be given to tourney winners also, probably 5-50k depending on the number of participants/event. I also don't have plans on charging people to participate in the events. Exodus Arena will be 100% non-profit, i was also hoping to make about 1 tourney/week, along with special events, such as 2v2v2v2's, king of the hill matches, FFA's, 2v2's, 3v3's, and 5v5's.

Completion date is estimated for 5/1/2012

The official arena events will award elo if you win a match, and the opposite if you lose. The arena rankings will be ran via elo system. For those not familiar with the elo system, it's used in many games like LoL, and WoW. In short, the winner gains points, loser loses points. Top 5 people will receive VIP privilages in the city of Exodus, including free houses, shops, access to farms, etc.

Also, the total amount of torches used in the whole 200x200 piece of land is 4, one ontop of each archery/reffery tower, the rest of the lighting is glowstone, a whole 20 stacks of it. Total cost of the project is around half a million credits.

Indeed. There are quite a few arena's, and alot of them are inactive, this is one of the reasons why i'm making this one, as currently theres not an arena that hosts regular events, 'least since Nex Manus shut down.

Not only this but unlike other arena’s, there will be rankings, around 500k RC has already ‘been invested in the making of the arena already. Clearly we wouldn’t have invested so much into this project if it was going to be inactive.

Video is finally uploaded. Comments, feedback, suggestions, and criticism are all welcome.

Good luck!
The only two problems I see are.
1: Exodus Arena is really far from Spawn and people are lazy now, some players don't even want to walk 50 blocks to my new Sky Arena.
2: There are not many PvP'ers left on Minerealm.

But I hope everything works out for you guys.

Yeah, i thought about this also, was hoping that we could get /event support. Even if i have to pay a fee(like 10k or so) i wouldn't mind, even without /event support, it takes a few minutes to get from spawn to exodus via minecart, but even then, many people are lazy.

The rewards will be much larger then other passed arena's, on average i'm thinking about 10-50k RC, depending on the amount of participants, this should greatly increase the amount of participants, not to mention the cost to take part in the tourney will always be free of charge.

I go there regularly to PvP with my friends in some friendly fights. I enjoy it. :]
I'll probably head over there a few times if it has some tournaments and fights. I've yet to make it to a tournament. D:

beautifull video bomb

also Alliteration and i live together IRL now so i can open her comp and load the plans and work on it from my machine or vice versa, im just really worried ill mess up the outer loops or something along those lines.

Also Allit bridgedweller and myself made a road direct to exodus in the nether takes 2mins walking 1 running, ill give speed potions for the trip even / escourt people attending safely to exodus

and yes the /event idea would work very well.

also there is a direct road on land from roanoke to exodus if ppl wanted to /setspawn


and i would like to add in to the list of prizes Use of the Exodus Wool factory to the winners (its pretty amazing) (but wool isnt regen atm prolly with the next update thursday and the end of bukkit)


Allit and i love and miss you all minerealm


OH! also my real life sister will be joining us soon and joining Exodus (shes 18) and Taken... so treat her nice

For some odd reason i can't edit my first post...

But it should be noted that even though i haven't 'been working on this much, i'll finally be getting my own internet connection this Friday, and will finish this project.

New estimated completion date is June 15 2012, and the new price estimate, with the changed GS prices is 700K realms included, or 540k without realms. :mrgreen:

All materials needed to construct the arena are already bought, including the 20 stacks of glowstone, and 160 stacks of obsidian.
