Weekend Update: Monster Spawners!

This week we are featuring monster spawners in our various towns!
First up we have Arendelle, an up-start village with friendly, capable leadership. They are on the smallish side, but have potential to spare!

They have a spider spawn in excellent working condition, as well as the skeleton spawner featured above. The spawners are close together, with an easy path between them!

Next is Stoneheart, a well established City with spread-out builds that are a marvel to see.

They have several spawners, above we show their skeleton spawner which is equipped with an anvil and a full enchanting table. 

Town leaders be aware that next weekend I will be focusing on colossal builds! Your tallest tower, largest floor plan, anything considered above the normal. I wouldn't mind a hold in the ground even, if it is a big one. So be on the prowl town leaders and find your next item to feature in the weekend blog update! 

Weekend Update

Hey Everyone! This is Z. Just wanted to clarify a few points. I want town leaders to send me an update on their towns every weekend for the blog update. This isn't required, but your town won't be featured without an update. Please refer to the 'Weekend Blog Update, Update' post for the format I prefer you to follow.
Also, I will be focusing on a particular theme every week. This next week we will be focusing on monster spawners, so if your town has one highlight it in your message to me! Along with coordinates in the case that you might be offline when I get to your town highlight. I will post a screenshot of the spawner with your highlight.
I will also accept these messages from seconds as long as they make it known that it was from the second, and that their town leader knows they did it so I don't get dupe messages, that will just confuse me.

Also, for everyone, please excuse my inactiveness. Seedlings are sprouting and I have to babysit them to protect them from the cats and what they think is their giant litter box. Also, I will be starting classes in June, don't know exactly how that will affect my playtime so I apologize in advance.

Special Rewards

To encourage villages/towns/tribes/etc. to start making and updating webpages, Z and Otter are offering a special prize to anyone who gets their page together by the end of May!

If you're web savvy, you can make a page from scratch, use a social media profile, OR you can fill out a form and have Otter do it for you.  Read this page for your options:

Make a town page!

If you haven't already, you can also make a town banner for an additional reward.  If your town already has a banner, please let Otter know who created it by writing her a letter.  Read here for instructions:

Make a town banner!

For the time being, only the creators of the page and banner will get the reward, but will be given a little something extra if they feel so inclined to share. :)

New IP Address

Our new IP Address is:

198.27.82.18:25592

The transfer went as planned and all of our world data was moved safely!  We now have extra server space to prepare for 1.8!  At that time, we will be expanding the world border so you will have more to explore!

Server Upgrade + IP Adress Change

We will be getting an IP Address change!  The new address will be posted here, the forums, and in the Skype group once we receive the new one (probably early in the morning of 5/7/14).

We are really sorry for the inconvenience, but it's a good thing in the long run.  We get more RAM (and Z and Otter get to pay less money!).

Hey everyone,

As of Monday 3:45pm (Pacific Standard Time), Z and I have put in a request to have our server upgraded.  Hopefully this can be done without any disruptions, but please be aware that there might be some downtime.  Keep this page bookmarked and Z and Otter will update you as we go. :)

The server upgrade is a good thing and will help us in the long run!  Let's squash the lag monsters!

Weekend Blog Update, Update

We are changing our system for the weekend blog update. From now on town leaders will be responsible for sending a letter in-game to Z or messaging her on skype on the weekends. This should be titled 'WBU (town name)', include the leader's name, second's name(s), list of residents, and the current level of the town. If Z does not receive a message of this sort your town will not receive a blog update. 

This should be done after a promotion if your town is close to being promoted. Be aware that Z is only human and if you are waiting on a town update she will not skip over your town if the promotion comes later than Sunday afternoon. Z should be made aware of any promotions needed as soon as possible in order to make the Sunday blog deadline.
