I've recently added chat filter as well as fixed chat above heads in game.

Thanks to Wolfje for the chat filter, awesome work.

If anyone finds any words that they think need adding, or words that are wrongly being fitlered, please let me know.

I've spent some time creating a new banner and added a live player status to the webpage to show if the server is online as well as how many players and who is online.

Credits to M00t for the code for the live player tracker.

It may be subject to a few minor adjustments, but its up and running for the most part :3

Just to let everyone know, there was a bug with the voting reward system not paying accounts when the player was offline, this has now been fixed.

Also, when voting make sure you enter your in game USERNAME. Please note your username might be different from your character name. Please also note that the spelling must be EXACTLY the same, this means it is case sensitive too.

Edit: New update, another bug has been fixed that wasn't paying you if you were online (The reward was queued until you logged out and logged back in). Everything shoudl be working properly, for real this time.

Hey Terrarians!

Recently I've been working on a lot of changes, which you've probably noticed. You're probably seeing this post because of one of the changes being that the home page is now this Portal that shows a news feed.

Other changes have been to the ranking system, which was updated a couple of weeks ago, as well as the addition of all the items to the in game /shop shop.

Furthermore the new Premium Store has been added for users who choose to contribute to the community and help keep our server running.

Further to that, heres a breif list of other changes I still have in the works, however since I work Monday to Friday the bulk of the changes are likely to come in over the weekends, with minor changes being made throughout the week.

Updates planned:
Fixing the Voting plugin (some people who's username differs from there character name have reported not getting their vote rewards)
New anti-hacker protection being added in game
Item level and/or rank requirements for mid/end game items to make the classes more relivant
More benifits to level 100s
Improving the invasions (Already done, but there are some bugs with seconomy that needs investigation)
Maybe adjustments to soul shard drop rate from mobs
Other minor improvements to some commands, this is more of a server side thing, unlikely to be noticed, and will probably be done last


I'm also wanting to hear more suggestions as to what can make our server bigger, better and more fun for everyone.

Ok, so recently I've had quite a few dramas with the SEconomy database dropping and everyone bank accounts being reset, this is due to a performance issue with my current hosting provider.

I've chosen to upgrade to a better server which would eliminate the performance issues experiancedwith SEconomy (You'll notice long delays when spending money with /shop, gamble, ect. Accordingly, the server's IP Address will change to 162.248.89.149 or terraria2.tls.id.au. This address is currently the test server, but I will also be changing terraria.tls.id.au to the new server after the cut over.please make a note of this so after the change over you can still join the server.

ALL account data will be saved and migrated to the new server, so nothing will be lost, however I will be doing a map reset, as per usual, since it will be the end of the month.

Along with this update I'll most likly be making a few changes to donation options. I will still only accept PayPal, but I will have other options/rewards for donors. More information regarding this will be posted soon.

Welcome to Panther's Terraria Server! Your probably wondering why all of your stuff is gone, right? Here in the server you have your own seperate character. Your stuff is still safe on your regular single-player character.We run a unique ranking system, where you can level up your character and gain new abilities as you rank up. To do so, you need Soul Shards, our currency. You can gain Soul Shards by killing monsters, gambling, trading with others, and voting for the server. READ NEXT --->

You can build homes for yourself to safely store the items you find on your adventures here. After you build a home, make sure to protect it (/house define). You can build anywhere that isn't already protected by another player. Make sure to protect your chests too (/cset). If you don't, people can steal your stuff and destroy your base! READ NEXT --->

Now that you've read the most important stuff you need to know, its time to register on the server. This way, you can make your own server character and begin playing. Please note that if you can't register because a name is already taken, you need to go make a new character with a new name and rejoin the server.
To register: /register newpassword
To login: /login yourpassword
READ NEXT --->

We have specific rules (/rules) in this server. If you break our rules, you can be banned temporarily, or possibly permanently. If you need further help, feel free to ask one of our staff members, or a fellow player. To leave this room just type: /warp spawn

These are rules to be followed while playing on the server. Breaking these rules will get you banned or kicked.

1. Respect all staff members and players. (Kick, Day Ban)
2. No client-side hacks. (Perma-Ban or Perma-IP-Ban)
3. Don't grief. (Kick, Day Ban)

8. Don't disrespect our server, if you don't like it, leave. (Kick, Normally Doesn't Require Bans)
9. No bad names. For example, anything that contains sexual, racist, curses, or anything that could potentially offend someone. (Kick/Warning, Day Ban)
10. No begging for items or things of the like. (Temporary Mute/Kick, Day Ban)


-DO NOT REPLY TO THIS THREAD.

Lately, as I am sure you are all aware, there has been quite an amount of animosity between both players and staff of Panther's Terraria, and other Terraria servers. This has lead to much downtime for us as the fighting continued over multiple servers, multiple addresses and multiple hours of our time.

I would like to take this opportunity to reinstate that players and staff of Panther's Terraria are not permitted to spread hatred, racism or anything offensive towards players, staff or server owners of other terraria servers.

We are a peaceful community, we have been around a long time and there is a lot of effort and money that myself and Wolfje have put into running, especially with the development of SEconomy for Terraria. The only thing that we value here is respect towards other servers, and towards other players who choose to play elsewhere. We as owners think we have done a fantastic job in bringing you a great Terraria experience, howvever we do not begrudge people who simply choose to play on other servers. Furthermore, we do not carry any hatred or animosity to people who operate other servers. We realise the struggle for security and uptime. Really, we do.

At the end of the day, all we want to do is provide a great experience to you guys. We can't do that unless you guys play by the rules. So please, if you don't have anything nice to say about other servers, then keep it to yourself.

Anyone reported to be spreading hatred or offense to players, or staff of other servers will be permanently banned from Panther's Terraria.

- Moderators:

You are the people responsible for keeping the peace. There is absolutely no reason to go and permaban unless there is a specific need.

Staff are not permitted to permanently ban for any other reason other than obvious client-side hacking. You're required to PM details of the ban to Panther, or myself if you feel the need to ban permanently.

Okay, so 1.2 is here!!!

I currently have the server up and running on 1.2, as many of you have already seen.

I plan to be making a number of changes moving forward, some of those changes are as follows:

SSI (Server Side Inventory) in conjunction with SEconomy:
Currently my roommate, Wolfje, is away on business for the next two days. When he returns he will update SEconomy, which means the ranking system will be back, along with a new rank set and spells/commands I've designed.

Along with this I plan to enable Server Sided Inventory, which will require all users to create a new character from scratch. I understand some of you may not like this, but I think it would be a good idea to ultimately stop a lot of cheaters exploting all the new features in the game, as well as give the server a more RPG Feel. Also, its not that hard, with players help, to go from a new char back to where you were.

IT does also mean if you play your char on other servers and gain health/items, you need to get rid of them before coming back into my server. This is onyl a problem if your health/mana increases, since you can easily put items in a chest on single player before comign back into my server, but you can only lower your health again by making a new char, Sorry.

Staff:
I will be opening the server to some moderator applications SOON. Please don't PM me now, just keep an eye on the forums.

This will allow me to better screen staff, to ensure they are all active, friendly and helpful on the server.

Rules:
I will be writing up a list of rules which I tend to better enforce. To many people were taking advantage of the fact there were no REAL rules and guidelines on the server. This will change as we move forward.



Other than these things, I'm also open to suggestions for the server and also plan to implement new plugins as they are released for the latest tShock.

Hope to see you around in game.

Whilst a new map is sometimes needed, so the content can be replayed, some people still enjoy the old maps.

So, here I will upload a copy of any old worlds for you to play whenever the map is reset:

Panther's Terraria Server Maps


These maps, if currently live, will update about once a day.
