The Ancient World is happy to announce another Dark Moon event, scheduled for November 18th, 2017. We would like to have everyone meet in Oak’s Rest (Our server spawn) around 4pm EST, and enter the event together.
Blue Peaks has been closed to the players for the past two weeks as staff have prepared the landscape for this event. Players can expect new locations to discover, including entrances to dungeons, strongholds, and corrupted lands. With these location, new mobs and challenges can be expected, as well as a variety of loot and artifacts! The degree of difficulty has been stepped up to make it more challenging, but the risks will be worth the rewards.
While exploring Blue Peaks, players will have the added dangers of the environment to worry about. Cold damage will set in and kill if not protected properly from it. Leather Armor and standing beside flame sources will stave the frostbite. There are several safe havens and torch beacons throughout the land to aid the players along the way.
Some Rules to keep in mind:
-Digging will not be required to access any content throughout Blue Peaks. Every chest has a valid pathway to it. Most areas will be world-guarded, but for some of the lesser and ‘secret’ location, digging straight down to the chest is not allowed. We discourage digging up the landscape, as the staff have put many hours into making/fixing it. There will be caches of building materials within certain locations (such as nether and prismarine).
-Certain enchantments (Frostwalkers and Springs) will be disallowed during the events as they are counterproductive and will limit other players abilities to participate in event locations.
-There is a build in the middle of Blue Peaks, claimed by Choir. It is unrelated to the event and we would ask that players leave the area alone. There is nothing hidden in or around related to the event.
-Reminder of the 24 hour Over-Claim rule. It will be in effect Nov. 18. Factions will not be allowed to claim over other factions lands due to power loss. Any player/faction caught doing so will be dealt with severely.
**We would like to note that at the server meeting, it was said that claiming land in Blue Peaks was acceptable, but upon further discussion on the topic, it has been ruled that claiming land will be disallowed. We want everyone to have fair advantages, whether in a small or large factions, allies or solo. We also wanted to discourage players taking advantage of the 24-hour over-claim event protection by making smaller factions and regrouping after the fact. Blue Peaks Portal will be the start location, and Beastmasters Abode will be available to rest up and restock should a player die in their adventure.
Players will be monitored throughout the events to make sure everyone is playing fair. Anyone caught breaking or bending rules will be dealt with case by case, and can result in exclusion of future events, temp bans, and permanent bans. That said, please have fun, and we hope everyone enjoys the event!
The event begins this Saturday at 4pm EST. Connect with play.mctaw.net
