New Event: GeoCaching!
gruberik443, Sat May 28 2011, 02:00AMI have started a GeoCaching facility just outside spawn, at the entrance of Fort Rudder (/warp rudder or x: 1991, z: 660). The facility itself is the green building just SE of Fort Rudder entrance.
For those who do not know what GeoCaching is, it is a real-world event where people hide things around the world in random places and post coordinates online. People use these coordinates in their GPS to go find the items.
I have posted one GeoCache in game right now. The coordinates are in the green building.
-The GeoCache you find will always be surrounded in green wool.
-The coordinates will only get you within 100 blocks of the cache. Be creative and look around!
-You will not be required to destroy blocks of any kind to find the cache.
-When you find the cache, leave your name on the blank signs provided.
-Also, the chest you find is under a "take something, leave something" policy. Don't leave the chest empty.
-First person to each cache gets to keep the diamond inside.
-If you wish to create your own GeoCache, let me know and I will check it out and then add the coordinates to the GEO IGLOO facility (green building).
HAVE FUN!

Great idea. I was the second to find it and had quite a bit of fun doing so. The GeoIgloo looks rather mediocre, compared to how cool this idea is. If you want, I could try to enhance it a little. Compass pixelart on top?

Yeah, MadMike, that sounds like a great idea. You have my permission to add the compass pixel art. Thanks.

Congrats to Jighello for finding the first GeoCache! It is still available for others to find and to see what treasures have been left behind! Also, our second GeoCache has been posted at the green Geo Igloo. (This one is a little harder).

Too right!
Just seen the compass pixel art too - very nice job.

Is this still being maintained?

Yes. This should be something that will be indefinitely maintained (until someone builds on top of one of the caches).
