It wasn't typing skill, but habits It was merely a similar way vaq types in skype, shown below,

Yes the server is currently down, weather it is a DDOS or not - I can't tell because Vaquxine is the only one who has access to the console. As soon as I get in touch with Vaquxine, I will let everyone know just where the fundraiser donations will go ~ As for those who have sent kind words, thank you - much appreciated <3

Hey there friends, As some of you may know, Availer left the GM team. I don't blame anyone for this, it took a lot of pride for him to come back and stand in-front of the community. Over the past few days there were a few disagreements, both in skype chat and in our GM meeting. The next day a GM made a comment about Availer's typing methods, and he took it offensively - when, if you know the GM - you would know it was not in their mind to be malicious. He took this comment offensively, and immediately left GM chat. I messaged him on skype a few hours later asking if he really was stepping down and he seemed unsure. He made it clear that he was unhappy and I advised him not to return to GM chat and his duties. There is no doubt that he was interested in LoTC's health and well-being, but there was just far too much tension for anyone. Availer had something we know LoTC needed, a voice - I admit I may not be as charismatic as Availer is, but I can promise all of you that I will apply what he has shown - and be in the limelight, promoting and maintaining a consistent role-play environment - with a sturdier fist. ( Perhaps we'll need some more Admins and GM's so I can spend more time making videos and community events ) If he stays as a player, he could just as well promote the atmosphere he is so excellent at promoting - He hasn't said he was leaving the server after-all. As for the DDOS protection funds, the 400$ is currently in my paypal and will be kept there until needed. I hope this clears things up for everyone, sorry for the wait ! ( Please respond appropriately )

Implemented

Once the roleplay has caught up with us, you will be able to pay "Hired Workers" to assist you build. What this actually will be is, permanent invisibility, flight and limited creative to use for building your settlements. You will also be boxed into your region with "no-exit" flags, so don't worry about invisible flying spies ;p. No settlements will be built at this time.

I will require ideas and plans, even from E-Team builders. I ask GM's the same, just don't want people building willy nilly! ;]

Greetings friends, and welcome. I am here to announce that we will be accepting player builders, onto the new map; LoTC 3.0. A few areas on the map haven't been touched since world-painter and below, I will list areas we need builders for. Natural Dungeons - (Caves, treacherous mountain passes etc.) Orcish Deserts - (This is reserved for Orc builders / players.) "Honey Bee" work - (Making sure the terrain is smooth and polished or pasted trees made diverse.) Terraforming - (We have a handful of islands, and a few biomes that need to be exaggerated and/or created. If you can provide concepts.) This is about all I can think of now, If I have a specific job for you I will contact you ! (( Occultus members, if you could please gather a group PM and add me to it, I want to go over some things with you guys! )) If you're interested in this proposal, please fill out these few questions - (The "Concept" question is for concept images, or even original drawn blueprints of what you'd like to build. The more, the better. Original works are highly regarded.)

*A notice hangs on the Sanctuary.* "Tolta, 10th of The Grand Harvest, Year 57." "The Wandering Wizard has returned!" "He struggled to return, for over 57 years in an unknown plane between Aegis and the Verge, damned to the void and it's trials. His soul however, still bound to his soulstone." "The Soulstone was taken to Asulon by the monks and was kept safe within the Sanctuary in-hopes that the Wizard may return." "This very journey grew on the wizard, making him wiser and more powerful than he had been before and once the soulstone vanished form the Temple - We knew the time had come." "Black wings were spotted over Dwarven peaks in the early of the morning while the Dwarves of Kal'Dwain were taking up their posts. The dwarves sounded their horns of war and groups of bearded dwarves, clad in armor came pouring out of the city to defend their land." "Iron and diamond met flesh as streaks of flame shot outright from the the creatures snouts. The Dwarves defended their land well, but began to steadily grow weary from battle." "It was just then, that a gleam of light revealed the White Wizard between the dwarves and the beasts, pure and unrelenting was his aura it is said." "The Wizard turned to face the creatures and his sleeves bellowed spheres of flame from them, with each strike their scales and wings were enveloped in magical flame - killing some of the creatures. His presence demoralized the rest, and it is said a few managed to escape." "We are unsure to where it is these drakes came from, but the Wizard warns us of impending war and the races of Aegis must stand - as they once did." signed, -Monk Talmb

@ Cloaked - Ah thank you, perhaps the winds will pull them just a bit more eastward on their journey ;]

Vaq has been inactive, and I have hardly heard a word from him recently It isn't related to the 3.0 - that much I'm certain of, the servers are separate and heavy voxel isn't happening We used to have MCmyAdmin and a custom restart button but these were both unstable so vaq is the only one able to restart the server from its console - this is a problem and has been for quite awhile When he returns I will speak to him about this downtime and see if Vaq can create us a restart script, so that the server isn't down for long periods of time
