“Alright so there has been a tremor in the force. With it a new zit has emerged. That being said Tsu is being sidelined back to loremonkey guru, and pandan will be put as gm lead with his new appointment as admin.” -Urasept Many of you might have already noticed the recent promotion. As Ura said, with Moot leaving it was time to look for a new admin and GM lead. After a lot of discussion and interviewing we found that Pandan was an amazing choice. He will be stepping out of his role of GM and into the role of Lead, filling the fifth admin spot. He’s shown himself to be aware of many of the problems on the GM Team and on the server and has a drive to change them. I know he’ll do an amazing job! Please welcome Pandan to the team and look forward to a many of the changes he will bring for the server.

Cya dude. Was fun getting to know you and working with you, through the ups and downs.

Hail Lord of the Craftians~ The GM and Admin teams have realized recently that the way player reports and ban appeals are being handled is not very effective. Therefore there’s been a ban system overhaul! Though most of the changes you may not notice, it’ll hopefully make everything more efficient and get those needing banned off the server for a timeout and those that have served their bans back on. So here’s a quick list of all the changes that have been done! Blacklists- This is just organizational. Blacklists that are not in effect anymore will be moved to our new Completed Blacklist subforum. This will keep this section clean and so players can easily look to see who is blacklisted and not. Ban appeals- You must now add the name of the GM who banned you in the title. This is to make sure the GM responsible can see when there is a ban appeal that needs done, and for admins to see if there is a GM not doing their job right! Player reports` The player reports post has been cleaned up a little and the GM/FM teams have been reminded of the rules and encouraged to respond if rules are broken. Remember that player reports are only to be made with the intention to report a situation and get a GM response. You shouldn’t be arguing on the reports. Warnings- Last part of our little overhaul is something you cannot see but should be aware of. There is a new section for GMs that is being used to record warnings. That means all verbal warnings, kicks, and temp bans are being recorded. Those that are doing small offenses not usually worthy of a ban now have a small player record. If you are found breaking small rules constantly and ignoring GM warnings, you may receive a harsher punishment. tl;dr: I made a few small changes on appeals and the GM/FM teams are being told to be harsher on those that break the rules. And I enjoy filling the recent topics with my stuff.

Hail Lord of the Craftians~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOFSdN0zk5Q First off let me give a shout out to all those amazing VIPs out there. Thank you so much for your donations as that’s how we keep this server running! We’ve been having a very good month so far and it’s all because of you guys out there having faith in this server. Keep up the donating so we can stay up and running for a long time. We know that a majority of those that donate are doing it for the perks on top of simply wanting to help the server. The Admin and GM team is currently working on a donation revamp to hopefully make sure that you are getting everything that is promised, as well as brainstorming ways for you guys to get some more cool gifts for donating! This is where y’all come in. We want to hear your ideas on what is currently working and not working with the donations system. What do you like on the donation perks right now? What would you like to see as a perk for donating? Do you feel anything should be moved or changed? Remember to keep this thread respectful while you share your opinions. We want to hear your ideas on how to better improve the system so that everyone can have fun and be happy. And most importantly, remember donating is first and foremost how we keep the server running.

Now to blow up Athera for my own entertainment >:D No one can stop my lava rivers now!!!

Welcome to Vailor! After a few hours of delays we’ve finally managed to get the map and plugins up and running on the server. We’re sorry for any inconvenience that the downtime and ocean map may of caused but sadly it couldn’t be helped. Firstly I believe we all (Admins/GMs/Devs) owe you an explanation as to why it took so long. There have been many rumors flying around, and as rumors go they’re not completely true. Due to a miscommunication between the GMs, Admins, and Devs, we were under the impression that we would be able to transfer without Kowaman’s help. It was only after the event was finished that we were informed we couldn’t and as Kowaman had informed us prior, he was away for the evening. This should have been planned around because obviously real life first, but it wasn’t and that was our fault. We’ll be taking steps in the future to ensure this never happens again. With this new map comes many new plugins in the forum of a nexus patch: PvP has been rebalanced. Enchants have been nerfed and OP weapons are being rebalanced. Diamond armor has been removed completely. The vault plugin has entered post-move mode for moderators, this means we’ll be sorting through each chest to make sure nothing bad has slipped past the blacklist. Territories are potentially has been released which is the new and improved region plugin based on worldguard. Currently the region grid is still in development so this isn’t implemented quite yet but expect it in the coming weeks. Keep a look out for future updates on this! Mina drops on mobs is being tested as a way to improve the economy, we’ll be looking for feedback on this in a few weeks into the map when everyones used to it. Dev wants to do testing to make sure the server can handle it so we’ll keep our fingers crossed and see. We’ll put a post up later depending on how the testing goes. A bunch of new tweaks, bug fixes and so on. Along with these new plugins comes a load of new policies and other changes which will be released over the next week or so, these include: New war system and raid rules suited to this map. A charter system which will be how guilds and non-nations settlements get land along with how nations will expand themselves. The wiki will be going under major changes to make it more friendly towards new players. Finally we have some systems implemented from the release of the map which are as follows: Mines will be immediately available once the map is released. There will be a special island specifically used to get resources such as trees and clay coming out in the next couple days so that nations can collect materials. Everything except the mines and resource island is regioned to not allow freebuild. One week white peace between all factions, this means no war or raids. Nation leaders have been provided with twelve double chests of building supplies to kick-start their capitals. They should modreq when they require the chests. Big thanks to all who helped develop the map and plugins. We hope you enjoy the map as much as we will, we’ll be releasing a list of our goals for the map soon enough for the sake of clarity between staff and the playerbase.

First off all I can say is! YAAAAAAY!!!! As it's been said before love is love, and if you want to be stuck in marriage with the person you love it shouldn't matter what gender or orientation you are! I'm glad America is finally coming around to it. As for transgender and stuff, I know that was brought up, who really cares? That's their personal business and if it makes them feel like the person they want to be then go for it! I'm not really a person to judge. I have a girl/guy friend who is transgender and trust me he's hot so who can complain? Not like you need to go marry the person and never know they had male bits. With forcing it upon religious institutions, yea you're right in that if shouldn't be forced. If the religion for some reason isn't okay with it then we shouldn't force you. But do know that a gay couple will most likely choose to /not/ go to the church that is preaching about how gay marriage is wrong. So in the end it'll work out. It's the same as the churches that preach against races and such, if you know they hate you you don't go there! So let's just cool it down and enjoy the moment of freedom winning out for a bit. We'll worry about the forcing religion once it actually happens.
