Our custom chat plugin has been updated!


This update includes:
- Chatting into a muted channel will automatically unmute that channel.
- An optional ChatRange client mod is now available for download that adds a hovering box that displays which channel you're about to type into. You'll need to install it into your mods folder manually. Farewell, INTEL!
- Racial language channels have been added that obfuscates your message for anyone outside of your race. Sadly, for now these are only available to admins at this time for testing purposes.

We would like to announce that a major part of the SkillAPI revamp we've been whispering about for months is finally ready for launch. Rather than have you all wait untold ages for us to complete the entire thing, we've decided that we're going to release the changes in two parts so you can all play with it sooner.

The redesigned skill system separates combat abilities your vocational identity, meaning that you will be selecting both a combat class, as well as a profession. The first part of this feature release will enable the new combat classes for everyone, while removing combat abilities from the existing classes while we finish getting the real ones ready.

The new classes, which will be available to everyone, are:

The Champion - Focused around physical attacks with blade or bow, the Champion offers a mix of ranged and close-quarters attacks with a highly aggressive style.

The Exemplar - Focused on ally support and close-range AoE, the Exemplar is a welcome member of any group that offers crowd control and high durability.

The Tactician - Focused on ranged damage with spellcasting and archery, the Tactician is adept at battlefield control with strong AoE and debuffs.

To commemorate this launch, we're planning to host a bit of a tournament pitting STs against each other to showcase these new classes, as well as having staff on-hand to lend a hand with the new system. Players will have a chance to test-drive the new skills themselves afterwards.
Our current target is to run this at 20:00 GMT tomorrow, Saturday May 4th, but schedules are still being investigated. Even if the tournament plan doesn't pan out, we'll likely release the new features at about that time anyway.

Further details about the changes will be posted once the documentation is ready.

We've added the Roleplay Essentials plugin to the server, which adds a couple of neat features you may be interested in, accessed via the /char command:
- Customizable character cards, which offer some basic publically-available info about your character for the world to see!
- the /travel on|off command, which toggles a slower walking speed for RP. No more need for crouching like a weirdo every time you want to step thoughtfully!
- View other players' character cards by shift-rightclicking that person in-game! So easy, you probably won't do it accidentally!

The gender and race fields have restricted values, but the rest of them are open.
The list of fields is set by STs in the config files; we'll only expand it if there's sufficient interest in specific additions to the list.
There is no obligation to use this plugin any more than you choose to.

Left alone to fester, the void has rumbled within Jolip's Tree and  spread to its roots. Parts of the Tree seem... Darker than before. The scent of rot and decay waft through Liba Riveni as a large, inverted void mushroom sits beneath Jolip's Tree growing from it's bottom. What could be the cause of this? What will it bring?

Patch Notes

Jolip's Tree Patch 2.0: The Awakening.
-New lore has been added, find named and lored items to being this plotline.
-Loot Update!
     -Slime quantity and probability raised from 3-15 to 13-25 anf from 30% to 50%
     -Shulker boxes added to the lower tier at 3%  and updated to the higher tier from 5% to 7.5%
     -Magic Scrolls have been added to the high-tier loot tables
     -Enchanted books added to high-tier loot table
     -God apples probability raised to 35% and quantity from 1 to 1-2
     -Elytra Added to the high-tier loot table
     -Probability to get loads of stained glass and colored wool lowered but still there.
     -Experience gain from chests increased dramamtically
-Monster Update
  -Void Mite spawn rate decreased
  -The dungeon will butcher upon entrance (Those caught abusing this will be promptly removed from the server This is your only warning)
-Structure Update
  -A base has been added to the tree. This should save you from void death, but will not prevent you from dying from fall damage.
  -The loot from the body will be distributed into the dungeon.
-Note from JP
  -Deaths in Jolip's Tree will be forgiven if you RP drag the corpse from the tree within 5mins of their death. Otherwise they will be taken by the void due to the lore and such. This can and will change based on the progression of the plotline. Any feedback or suggestions I am very open to as I tried very hard to make this feel playable and more rewarding. And Remember This dungeon was designed for 4-5 people so be careful you will get overwhelmed should you try to solo it.

Winter continues to slowly but surely advance upon Nebelloren, and even as far south as Parravon the people already find it prudent to wear thicker gloves and warm hats.

Those few who walk the northern mountains however notice that here the winter has already come - noticeable even in a land always cold and full of snow. Fierce gales cause snow to billow in clouds as they rush down the sides of the mountains, and passes that were easily passed through not a week ago become buried in mounds of frost. Even the mighty white bears that call the mountains home begin to withdraw into their restful halls under the stone and snow.

These signs seem to portend that which some have already guessed: the winter will be rough.
