4.0 Update #4

[shiftnative 3103]

Hello again LoTC!

 

I'm back for a fourth update, to help keep you updated on the new map and ready for what's to come.

 

 

As you may be able to tell, the build-phase is just about complete (95%) and I'm really excited (and relieved) to be on the final stretch of creating this new map.

 

Over the next week or so we will be,

 

1) finishing up the region grid that will blanket the mainland. (Fear not, there will be plenty of free-build and land to claim.)

 

2) Completing the Tutorial area with the help of a few dedicated players. (They've already begun!)

 

3) Creating videos for each of the new plugins (Professions, Region-Claim & Crafting.)

 

4) Inviting the Media Team to create animations, renders and videos to promote the new map and server changes.

 

5) Creating a GM tutorial island to help new AND old GM's get into the swing of things and make the most of their position.

 

The 4.0 whitelist reached nearly 100 players and A LOT of work has gone into the map. I'm certain that you and your friend's characters will come across new and enchanting things whenever you choose to take the road less traveled for years to come.

 

 

However, this world is not finished - not even close. The real color and life comes from you and I can't wait to see what everyone adds to it through-out the time we spend on it (hopefully for much, much longer than previous maps.)

 

 

We're nearing the end, and I don't want to post a release date until we've knocked out some of the things listed above but I can definitely say that it will be no later than July. (Early July too I'd wager!)

 

We will also be celebrating our THIRD year as a minecraft server and community this weekend with livestreams and other goofy things so be on the lookout for more info on this in the next few days.

 

I want to take the time to thank everyone who has spent time on the dev server helping us see this through, creating ANYTHING with a huge group of people is no easy task and I'm very proud of this map and everything that has gone into it.

 

Next time I make a news post, there'll be videos that explain the fundamental features involved with this map. (Within the week or so! "Regions, Crafting & Professions.")

 

Thank you for reading, roleplaying and supporting LoTC.

First.

 

Edit: I think we should just block out the southern hemisphere of MC generated land for the time being, and then release it once its needed. We don't want to scatter rp all over the place now.

Good idea! (We were planning on this, there's already large mountains blocking you from traveling there.)

Hope we can see a release soon enough. How vast are the oceans in diameter?

If the Map would be a person, damn that person would be soooo...
