Hey all!

We here to announce information regarding the temporary map for transition between Arcas and Almaris - ‘The Daeperician Archipelago’. The final day of Arcas will be November 23rd, with Almaris set to release on the 27th (mid afternoon GMT), this will give you all about three days to have some fun!

Why are we going to a temp map?

In the past, the transition between maps was essentially the Tech Team pulling an all nighter the day before release, taking a mere 8-12 hours to move the map files over, do data maintenance, update plugins, and bugtest. This would leave many things broken, and the team stretched very thin the next day. Further, the server would be offline/unplayable for this entire period. Instead, the more modern approach is to move the server into maintenance mode and redirect players through the magic of proxies to an alternate server for a few days. Here,they can access their personas and roleplay in a unique environment (some of you may remember the ice canyons from last time), and this gives the Techs plenty of time to do the required work on the main server (hopefully) without a hitch.

What will this map look like?

At 11:55 PM EST on November 23rd, the server will go down for maintenance for around an hour while we reconfigure the proxy. When things are back online, players will find themselves on The Daeperician Archipelago - a small collection of islands in a temperate region. Here, the Descendants’ ships will lay anchor for a few days to gather supplies and prepare for the journey ahead! There will be some small camps, as well as your nation boats, to roleplay on.

What will we see on the transition map?

On the transition map players will find Vortex, our brand new, in-house professions plugin coded primarily by @nickrocky213. The transition map will provide a taste of what's to come with this system in Almaris. We highly recommend that you take this time to get accustomed to the new interfaces and setups, as a lot will be changing from the current experience. Thank you to our Vortex and Surge PVP Alpha and Beta testers for all their testing and help refining so far.

Despite our best testing, there will be bugs, this is inevitable. Please report any bug you find, big or small, on our Github bug tracker. Due to this unstable environment, nothing gathered in-game will be carried forward to Almaris, though whoever reports the best bugs regarding the new system will get a special prize: a Tech Team Approved™ roleplay item. Certain bugs reports, depending on their severity, may grant Vortex prizes such as energy elixirs.

A Note on Crowns and Voting

During this time, due to technical limitations, Crown purchases through our Store will still be possible but will not be processed until the release of Almaris. Further, no voting rewards will be distributed. 

Small Events

The Story Team will be coordinating some small events to add some storytelling to this adventure - stay tuned with the current colonial eventline to keep in the loop!

Cheers, Tech Team

Really interesting, I guess time to break the silence from his case, I can say that Muffins is known for pex abusing there are few cases I have witnessed for sample in charter name Vaelya so I was alerted about a someone ran a /smite command a lot and what it caused some poor players inventory that needed it a rollback, but that's one of the cases, that major another case of a these CT hunger games and CTF events long story short the world was hosted on well where players SHOULD NOT have to access it in the first place and the damages were caused item being stolen from that world and so on, but none the less how it should be resolved simply by contacting World Team for build and regening, Moderation Team for checking if the player could escape the area and preventing them and Tech Team a simple easy for just create a new map and past the build there simple, but for looks of it it was hard what a shame (But to that story its different it involve some staff abusing pex in the end). Let's talk about the tutorial island for a moment, it's not a surprise much, kudos to CT for making this it does help out a lot of new players to the server understand how things work, but building side well it was painful to watch over my members what are they building and keep track of what they are doing, but by looks of it giving the role to a wrong manager who should not have been in the first place, leaving me out that I should have been in the chats in the first place to keep an eye on the world team builders, but by looks of it just difficult to have a communication.

If you ever plan to join a staff team, I mean no one is stopping you at least learn something new or try something new, but do keep this in mind that this is a like a freelance, not a paid job or something, for sample I joined tech team just learn new like Java coding and technical work for my school and yes it has helped me.

TD;LR
It has come to the point where is enough, I would say getting that admin position was too early, since Muffins joined LoTC on Arcas, there are a lot of things to learn before joining the admin team.

Note from me: I personally have nothing too much hate about, but it's just fixes need to be placed upon, plus what I did hear from the ex-CT members was not surprising to hear.

P.S: If I bring anything hurtful on the table I want to apologies if i caused anything on my reply as said why i did this because if i dont get my word out these "mistakes" can occur happen again and which the community does not want to see it happen. So i will say it again apologies.
