  1. How are things

      We live on a fully regioned 7.5k by 7.5k map with a crafting system that’s rather unpopular and the devs have promised to remove. 

       

      The only war we’ve had on this map resulted in little change. The server is much more geopolitically stable than I have ever seen it before. The only major changes since the start of the map are vassals getting land (which happens every map so it’s hardly of note), and Yong Ping as well as Talon’s Port gaining nation status.

       

      No cities or nations have fallen so far except for a single settlement destroyed by staff for not reaching 1% of server activity. Some cities did get rebuilt later into the map for better city design so there is that at least.

      uhm we have /museum now to see all the old maps so thats cool

  2. Thanks for the video, I have likewise tried to keep my screenshots from that time. All of which are from an undead perspective, mostly of our cities or castles, and an unsurprising number of screenshots I took just after being metagamed as undead and killed. I'll only upload the most interesting ones however. In this picture we can see the 'world holes' that used to corrupt our minecraft saves, and this corruption of the world was the main reason for leaving for a new map. To rebuild the damaged buildings like-for-like I would watch the Undead trailer video and pause at key moments to work out the dimensions of the build: My rebuilding efforts: In our city in the nether, we had a rough block map of Aegis where we would record and plan our battles: In a remote part of the nether was a fairground which was a replica of the fairground in Al'khazar. This was because Charlie4vb and MrZombez, the original undead leaders, built much of Al'khazar and would build things in the privacy of the nether so that they could be copied into the world: Undead throne room: There was an area which consisted of pirate ships and giant wooden platforms, in the middle of which was a small dirt island where one person left a sign, which escalated into a large number of people wanting to leave signs on this patch of dirt: One of my favourite places in Aegis is a little known spot called World's End. Roughly, Aegis was 5000x5000, but as it was a normal minecraft world it meant that the land stretched on forever but we were simply prevented from walking further. At the very north of the world was World's End where people would leave signs to say that they have travelled there. In the final picture, under the sign 'Welcome to World's End', the grass block surrounded by wooden slabs was the furthest point in Aegis you could walk, and look out into the untouched part of the generated map: A charming interaction with everyone's favourite moderator Respiren: If people recall the terrible reign of the middle aged male english teacher catfishing as a female named Orehime as leader of the undead, which lead to us making a bakery our HQ, the result was that we would bring a lot of cake to a battle so we could camp in towers and easily heal up. This is one of the towers in a battle in Alstion: Me getting angry at the roleplay ability of Redwood Druid Boney after he kills me: Messing around with saddles at the infamous and best first undead keep: Capturing and torturing the ascended sage okonkwa, who seemed to sympathise with the undead as he was always in our teamspeak room: Associating with pugsy not ending well for me: Just behind Winterfell was a secret ruin where as part of the trials to become an undead, you would have to lead someone and then drop them into a pit activated by redstone and then kill them. In the redstone circruitry was a throne where 'The Lord of the Pumpkins' sat. I took this idea to the halfling village of branborough as a joke but through remarkable events it became a religion of the halflings: I have to say, however, that I disagree with the sentiment about the world looking bad in comparison to newer maps. When I go back to my save of the aegis world, I am astounded at how good the buildings are. Particularly when you take into account that many of the builds were purely built in survival, with blocks people gathered themselves. The simplicity and relatability of the builds result in a far more pleasing aesthetic in my view. Even so, it is much more important for a world to have the right atmosphere. Subsequent worlds have felt more like a show-home than something which is actually lived in. Even though my experience as a non-undead was incredibly limited, it was still obvious from my perspective that when you went north of Al'khazar to where Snowy Fields, Alstion, and the undead keep stood, you were taking your life in your hands. It was dark, snowy, where the guards of snowy fields and alstion treat everyone with suspicion and are hardened from near-constant battle. This was a world where the crack of lightning set everyone on edge at the thought of undead coming to their town. But even without the undead, this was a world which ebbed and flowed as though it were real. The secession of Kal'Alras from the Dwarven kingdom where driven by real, unscripted events and in-game tension. Likewise, the break-up of the Kingdom of Oren was a result of tensions under the unpopular young King Enor, after the popular reigns of Pampo, Dawn, and Edmund, amid a scandal in which the king was corrupted by the undead into devouring his own wife. From an undead perspective, even though we were the target of so many complaints, many of which were justified, we were behind so much more than just the lightning and fireball attacks people experienced. We had safehouses in many of the cities, sympathisers who acted as spies who would sabotage and gather gold for us, we even had High Priest Everard as a secret undead worshipper until we properly converted him to undead. We monitored and encouraged notable villains behind the scenes. Every subsequent antagonist has failed to capture the organic and player-driven experience that the undead created. It was a pleasure to play the server during this time, and it remains the best fun I have had on a computer game today, and the sole reason why I occasionally revisit this place. If any old player wishes to get in touch with me then please do add me on discord: jpayne348#3660.

      'The legend got messaged on steam about the new map coming up and checked the forums, but will be gone again very soon' is more accurate

      @koko haram last summer the staff declared the halflings too inactive so for this OOC reason they took our region away from us and forced us to completely rebuild elsewhere only after finishing the village. it was handled miserably and me and dalek took it to the forums. he got a little rowdy tho

      Undead wouldn't have been able to deal with that lag either. Fire your lightning and it goes off two minutes later? Any antag stands as much chance agaisnt that lag as they do against the Death Star.
