Hello, I haven't posted much recently. This has been due to the high amount of homework/coursework/mock exams I have had.

More on topic however, we are going to be switching maps pretty soon. By the latest it will be up on the 23rd but if possible we will get it up before. The new map has a different generator than the original so it will look quite different. The new map also has quite a different theme than the current one. The current one along with the past 2-4 maps will be available for download soon. I ask however that if you do download these do not try to copy over creations from old maps. We have seen these before and we are not looking for people to keep building the same thing non-stop. If however you do improve it and make it larger, I might be swayed to overlook the fact that it has been built before, but ideally I would prefer new ideas. Also, because these are starting to pop up, we do not want pixel art. It ruins the look of the map and stands out in cities. If we come by any it will be deleted straight away. However if this pixel art is on the side of a building so it's more like sign, that will be acceptable.

On SMP we have quite a few new/replaced/updated plugins. In new plugins we have a plugin that simulates the Thuum, which in case you don't know what the thuum is (Shame on you!) is words of power. They are from Skyrim and will be available in a special way on the new world. We have a new admin chat (Finally!) so we can communicate classified server information without mass /tell. A couple admin plugins. (Now I couldn't just reveal that could I ) For the replaced plugins, we have HawkEye, a replacement for BigBrother. There's now going to be Clans* which replaces the old Factions.

There's many more but I rather not continue yammering on.

In case you didn't know, this news blog can be used in an RSS feed so if you'd prefer to read it on an RSS feed go ahead.




Also there will be a special christmas suprise on the server and there may or may not be presents*. So look forward to the 23rd where you get to see what a wonderful job our Staff and a couple of members did with the new map.
