the splurge
What the heck is it?
The Splurge is our new end-of-map event, replacing the Purge, which has long been unpopular, uninteresting, and unbecoming of our communal spirit. We hope it retains some principles of the Purge while better serving as the last community hurrah of the map. This is all of course totally new, so please give us your thoughts!
Overview:
The event will run from March 15, 2025 5:00 PM PDT until March 22, 2025 5:00 PM PDT.
Unlike the Purge, all standard rules will still be enforced. No griefing or hacking is permitted during this event.
Keep inventory will be enabled for the full event.
Economy:
Your balance will reset to 100,000 Simbucks™, plus bonus currency based on notable map accomplishments, such as a high balance or enchant discoveries.
Only items acquired during the event will be sellable to the shop. These items are tagged as “⭐Splurge Sellable”.
A lottery will run for the duration of the event. Tickets cost 1000 Simbucks™ each, and you can purchase any number of them.
PvP:
Every 4 hours, if 4+ people are online, 1 of 5 new survival world PvP arenas is chosen, and a command made available to random TP near it. The arena opens after 5 minutes, then closes after another 10 minutes.
Each arena has a highlighted inner zone, within which you automatically queue a purchase of 2 half-price lottery tickets per second.
If another player kills you while you're in the arena, they steal 50% of your queued tickets.
Upon fully exiting the arena (not just the inner zone - you must fully escape!), you purchase all queued, half-price tickets.
