Announcement and Information:
As a collective, the world team has been striving to push out new content and builds for 8.0. As a personal project, I have also been working on the new CT-- wishing for something new and aesthetically pleasing, on top of being immersive and a hub for the new fast travel system. Spearheading the project for 8.0 CT, it has taken me a few weeks of building alone to get it done. You will notice a lot of changes.
First and foremost, I’ve decided to go for a more asian-esque themed build, link it historically to what you may (this can be decided by the lore team, not in my jurisdiction). We’ve driven away from the usual, plain sandstone-block placement and have tried something new. Hopefully, the player base will like it, for it will be one of the first builds you will get to explore when you arrive in Almaris! Below, you will see a screenshot and a few renders of the build.

The cloud-temple will encompass a lot of rich lore, server item display, and offer an easy passage to go to other nations when travelling. It is derivative of a simple system. We had it in mind for the newer players who will log on for the first time, It is often said you only have a short time to capture someone’s attention.
If you have any suggestions or ideas for last-minute improvements - if it’s constructive and good - I’ll add it.
(no monke, no 8.0)
Thank you, Lord of the Craft, for giving me the opportunity to help develop your map and build your cloud temple.
