Anyway guys, I'll be gone for like 3 days, hope you accept me then!

The edit button is your friend, buddy. Don't neglect it. *shot*

Speaking of the server, I just finished a draft of the lore. I already got a yes from Shino, but while we wait for Insane to give the ultimate ok, I have posted it on a thread on the EotV forums here. I would like some feedback from both staff and players to make sure everyone's good with it and I didn't miss a spelling/grammar error =3

That's being worked on by me at the moment, being lore writer and all. I should have it up on the forum some time tomorrow, and Insane will replace the current one with the revisions on the front page of this thread once it's cleared by Shino and/or Insane himself.

Ever since I PLAYED on my first server, single-player completely lost its charm besides testing things on creative for ten minutes tops =3

Actually, the main problem is that before I presented the idea of an expanded lore, people were thinking they had to just scrap the whole world and the story so far entirely, starting entirely from scratch, so it didn't really matter if there was a "cliffhanger". Also, the other problem with that "running multiple maps" thing is that our server itself is actually hosted by a server-running company, not the owner of the server. So if we basically ran multiple servers simultaneously, which is basically what you suggested, not only would that cause us to have to pay for TWO servers, but even if the server was hosted by the owner, it would cause a bunch of lag due to two house-run servers being operated from one home.

At least, I'm pretty sure that's how that works...something like that lol

Yeah, people stopped being patient >_> It especially sucks for me, an American, considering most of the impatient ones are in Europe and places like that. I miss all the good RP events and, in cases like this, miss the chance to do a final RP event that would basically leave you guys on a cliffhanger "to be continued" thing to digest/think about while we work on the project.

I can only imagine how horrible it is for the non-staff players to have the server just abruptly shut down without any knowledge why besides "We'll be working on a secret project for two weeks or more" XD

People met up by the birch tree and the soldier of light *can't remember his IC name) was about to finish a sentence when a necromancer attacked him, everyone there followed the necromancer when he ran and we killed him.

Being me I stole the loot because people thought he tped away + no one went down so... Yeah

Oh and do you know why the server isn't up? Or has the server gone down for that thing for two weeks or more?

...Condemn it 1. the first actually interesting and involved RP event in probably a MONTH since I got back and I missed it because of school >_> 2. They better not have closed the server for the secret project yet! I told them time and time again, if Insane gives the "ok" to my expanded lore encompassing what exactly that secret project entails, we're going to need to do a major RP event before the closing to WORK on said project.

EDIT: ...Oh yeah, I just accidentally let it slip that an expanded lore is involved in this secret project. Oh well, it's not like it spoils too too much =3

Ah crap I missed an event?! Condemn it >_> This always happens when school starts back up XD So what happened?

My thoughts exactly. I too am used to helping out, but you can help in many ways as just a player than most people believe. Before I was a moderator, I worked as an unofficial staff member who writes the lore and helps write the most recent stories, before that I was a just a player who helped keep the RP going and did his best to bring the economy back up by opening a store =3

I don't see why you should apply as a whitelister right off the bat after JUST joining the server. Just my personal take.

ATTENTION PLAYERS!

Hello players of Era of the Vanguard. This is just a small update to let you know that the server will be closed for at least two weeks (perhaps more) for a classified project that the staff and a few select players and going to be working on.
Yes, we have listened to you and we are going to be putting your ideas into this new project.

For the select few players that are going to be helping, we need to set some rules that will be told to you via skype/ game chat/ other form of chat/ all of the above.

For those of you that want to still apply, you can. But you wont be white-listed as of yet.

Thank you for your ideas and thank you for staying with us.

Maybe, maybe not. We'll see tomorrow. I have a lore-related idea to prevent this that I will present to the staff tomorrow.

Everyone hold your breath(?)

...So apparently in the three days I was gone without my laptop and without wifi for three days for a last-minute trip: my cow farm was grief'd, three of the staff members who were just about the only dedicated members whom I was familiar with from the server PERIOD quit after what sounds to me like a falling out with Insane concerning something to do with the server, and suddenly I'm a mod with no messaged "Congratulations on your promotion, we have decided that... [etc]" from a higher-end staff member aside from Jal showing up in the middle of an off-site chatroom saying "Man. You're a moderator now. Things are bad."

Well, for the moment might as well just take care of the most immediate problem until I get some answers *loads shotgun and seeks out the idiot who grief'd my cow farm*

Server going down until 3 or 4 PM EST. Looking into plug-ins and backing up files.

^That's Insane's account for the server.

Good news, everyone, at long last...I got me a newer laptop! Even better: It's Windows 8. More than I thought I'd get =P While I could have put the other $200 dollars they invested to get this towards, say, a PS Vita, who am I to turn down one of the latest model laptops? =3

...Bad news is, the server is down seems Maz's bad luck extends beyond the short story XD Ah well, I need to download a few things and transfer files and all that happy good stuff anyway. I will expect confetti when I log in after my unwanted hiatus of PC MineCraft *shot*
