SteveCo #28 - Portal Set was added!
Thanks to everest_guy for suggesting this!

It contains Portal related items.

http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/295177

You can now get a hologram for your autoshop! It costs 7.5 EUR and it's guaranteed to stay there for at least 3 months (or else you receive a premium shop credit for that value). Normally it will stay there forever, but we can't guarantee that, so we are guaranteeing 3 months (that doesn't mean that after 3 mo it will be removed).

NOTE: After purchasing this package, you will have to send me a forum PM or open a ticket and tell me your autoshop's name, the warp to it and what the hologram should say (you can use color codes such as &c &e).
NOTE: Your hologram can have 3 lines.

http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/359056

Cost: 15 EUR
You don't need any items to make the banners, however there is a 15kEmp price per banner (however this is almost nothing seing that certain materials such as the wither head would cost millions)

How to use -> Type /bgui open after you have purchased the item.

General Announcements / [Survival] MobShop
Jan 20, 2015, 11:45 AM
Introducing /mobshop
A shop for spawn eggs. You can buy farm animals or aggresive mob spawn eggs, and also wolf/ocelot/horse eggs!
Let me know what you think!

NOTE: Prices are somewhat high, because there is a limit per mob between 100-300 (based on each mob type). So basically making them super cheap, everyone would buy and then mobs would stop spawning as that limit has been reached.

In the next 48h something amazing will come to SFT! A brand new Hunger Games server, put together by none other than saywhat2365 with massive help from Unitedwedance!

Mojang recently announced in a post that name changing will be implemented on February 4th.
https://mojang.com/2015/01/announcing-minecraft-name-changes/

List of servers prepared for this change:
Survival (full UUID support, running version 1 8 )
Pixelmon (full UUID support, running version 1.7.10)

List of servers not prepared for this change:
B-Team
Tekkit Classic
Any server running on Minecraft 1.7.2 or older
Are you a player on one of these servers? Ask the person in charge to implement a secondary login system (like we have on survival /login /register) and most importantly -> DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NAME if you wish to not lose your items/protections/everything.


NOTE: If you use your account to play only on Survival/Pixelmon *IT SHOULD* be safe to change your name and still keeping your inventory/protections/etc. We are not however responsible if something goes wrong and we recommend not doing this until the system is implemented and we confirm everything works fine.

General Announcements / [B-Team] Server Reset
Jan 11, 2015, 07:14 PM
Server IP: bteam.superfuntime.org
To play: Get TechnicLauncher and install the "Attack of the B-Team" mod


The B-Team Server has been completely reset apart from the Ranks and Uptime.
Perhaps it is now a good time for those that never tried it to try it. Do you want to go into magical worlds where dinosaurs and other strange beasts live? Or perhaps you want to get into a rocket and go to space? B-Team has it all for you!

I have carefully worked with Copen and Fear to make sure this reset is a special one. Along with a new host, b-team has now been improved, performance-wise. We can guarantee less lag or as close as possible to none, via multiple performance tweaks.
If you're bored and you're looking for a server to try, I recommend B-Team. We will soon (in ~3-5 days) create an advertising campaign for B-Team to get even more players, so get a head start now and you will have plenty of people to play with!
959
The b-Team server was moved to its own machine.
Specs: Core i5, 16gb RAM, 100mbps connection

Server IP: bteam.superfuntime.org

What this means for bTeam:
In addition to moving to a new server that's no longer being shared across survival and bteam, i have done a number of performance tweaks. You should notice a lot less lag. Even more lag causes will be fixed when the world reset is done

What this means for Survival:
Survival used to share its resources with bTeam. Not any more. A lot of the lag on survival was caused by bTeam some times spiking in CPU usage. This is no longer the case and the machine is used only for Survival and the Lobby now.

Survival specs (in case someone forgot) -> Xeon E5-1620v2, 64GB RAM, 1gbps

FAQ:
"But towelie, wasn't that monster machine enough for both servers?"
BTeam is a very CPU intensive server which sometimes consumes most of the resources which were available on the survival machine and was causing lag for the survival server

"Why did you purchase a new machine just for B-Team?"
Because it was very cheap. Literally very cheap, like ~30 eur / month.

List of SFT's Servers (just because it's an awesome list):
Survival -> Xeon E3-1620v2, 64GB RAM, 2*2TB, 1Gbps
Pixelmon -> Xeon E3-1620v2, 64GB RAM, 2*2TB, 1Gbps
bTeam -> Core i5 2300, 16GB RAM, 2TB, 100mbps
Factions + More -> Xeon E3 - 1245v2, 32GB RAM, 2*2TB, 300mbps
RO Server (Parkour, minigames, etc) -> Core I7 3930K, 32GB RAM, 2*1TB, 50mbps
Webserver -> Xeon E3 - 1245v2, 32GB RAM, 2*2TB, 300mbps
Windows Server -> Core i5 2500k, 16GB RAM, 250GB+160GB, 10mbps

These are all dedicated servers, rented in various parts across the world: Canada, France, Romania.
In addition to this, we also have a  VPS (one for GMod TTT)
Think of the supercomputer we could have if we put all these servers in a cloud xD

I'd like to thank fear for his help and doing most of the work xD

I have added a new plugin on Survival, that adds some new unique mobs, each with different abilities and rewards.

Types of mobs:
Skeleton King -> One of the hardest mobs. It's a wither skeleton that spawns other skeleton minions and has some powerful abilities.
Skeletal Minion -> Doesn't spawn by himself, but will appear along with the Skeleton King
Zombie Horde -> A Zombie Giant with massive health and several powerful abilities. Also spawns hordes of zombies. The longer you take to kill it, the more zombies will be spawned.
Zombie Minion -> Does not spawn by himself, but will appear along with the Zombie Horde
Skeletal Knight -> A powerful wither skeleton warrior with increased health and damage
StaticallyChargedSheep -> A sheep that's known for burning its fuse xD
Angry Sludge -> A massive slime with massive health and abilities
Corrupted Pigman -> What's it doing in the overworld? Shouldn't it be in the nether?
Slenderman -> Wait what? How did this one get here o_O I don't remember adding it...

More mobs will be added in time. These mobs each have unique abilities and offer unique rewards (EmpBucks, XP, items). I hope you will enjoy them! NOTE-> They will randomly spawn in World1 and World2
964
General Announcements / [Survival] /headshop
Jan 06, 2015, 12:58 PM
I have added a new "virtual shop" today.
The command to open it is /headshop
Here you will find a selection of player heads which also double as "microblocks" (thigns like toasters, tv's, game consoles that you can place in your home for some added flair).

Since these are most microblock heads, I've decided to make them more accessible so they are 1.5mil each.

NOTE: The preview of some heads is broken in /headshop. Disregard that, the heads work, it's just a problem with the /headshop plugin which hopefully will be fixed in the near future.
965

Global Market (/ml) is back!

NOTE: Use at your own risk. Even though I have tested it in all possible scenarios, and it seems to work, there might still be issues with it that we did not discover. We will not cover any loss. I recommend testing with cheap items first, and then if in ~48h you encounter no problems with it consider it safe to use!
967
There is a problem with our Mystery Chest delivery plugin - If you purchased multiple mystery chests at a time and did not receive them all (if it said you don't have any mystery chests to redeem), then please send me a forum PM, containing the following information:

- Total number of purcahsed mystery chests and type (normal/jumbo/slimefun)
- Number of mystery chests you received
- Unique Transaction ID (that you get from paypal via e-mail)

We are currently repopulating the mystery chest area and will deliver the missing Mystery Chests manually until the plugin is fully fixed.

NOTE: Any attempt to trick us into delivering more mystery chests than you purchased will be considered fraud and will get you a permanent ban.
NOTE: It is still safe to purchase Mystery Chests from the shop, however if you do run into this problem, send me a PM with the info above afterwards (the bug does not happen all the time it seems).
968
I have added SteveCo Crate #27 (to not be confused with the old #27 which got lost due to a config issue)

It contains:
- A very special soulbound sword
- A special creeper head
- A special enchanted gold apple
- Three types of custom/awesome fireworks

You can drop a SteveCo Crate/Key for everyone online by visiting our "Global" shop category:

I would like to invite you all to an exercise - Let's all try to focus on being better people rather than wasting our time with petty feuds and silly arguments that bring nobody any good.
It is our responsibility to make Super Fun Time - and ultimately the world a better place, by being better persons, and helping those in need. It is also a time for forgiveness, so extend your forgiveness to those that wronged you and let us not get dragged down by such petty emotions such as hatred, anger and so on.

In 2015, it is my resolution to make Super Fun Time a better place, and to rid it of people who are here for nothing but to fight and hate. It is my resolution to teach the people that they have the power of doing good.


I invite you to a day of calm and meditation, and let's all reflect on this subject.

Peace Out!

#1 Get a stick and right click it inside your region / house
#2 The name of the region will be displayed. Remember that as you will need to use it in the next step (CASE SENSITIVE)

#4 Done! If you wish to remove someone, type /region removemember <regionname> <playername>

NOTE: We will not refund any loss caused by a member you added to your own protection

Lately, I've noticed a couple of people either leaving sft or just expressing their discontent towards "the direction of sft", but without providing any reason. If you don't tell us what you dislike, we cannot improve.
We cannot read people's minds and even though some people think I am all-knowing, I really don't know everything that's going on.
Please, don't hesitate to give us feedback if you dislike something we do or any decisions we take, and don't wait to do that until you announce your leaving.

"Hacker" group LizardSquad, attacked Sony's PlaystationNetwork service and Microsoft's Xbox Live service on Christmas day and extending until earlier today. Here is some less known information about their attacks, obtained from news websites and other sources.

Information:
- Their attacks went as high as 1.2 TBps. This is probably the biggest ddos attack if this is true and according to them it is. In comparison, the Russian government hits some Estonian news sites with ~100Gbps tops.
- They claim that they have access to cables/devices buried in the middle of the ocean (probably the roadway connecting USA to Europe), that allow them speeds like 100Gbps. From there on, it's relatively easy to amplify the attacks using outdated NTP or DNS servers.
- Sony and Microsoft could've fixed this / mitigated the attacks with an investment of a few millions in equipment and recruiting some talented ddos experts. A few million is nothing for companies as huge as Microsoft and Sony.
- They are doing this attack "for the lulz" and to prove that nobody can get to them
- Mega founder Kim DotCom offered them 3000 vouchers to his new service "MegaPrivacy" to get them to stop. This only got them to stop for a few hours.



Speculation:

- It is rumored that the leader of LizardSquad is also the leader of FinestSquad (the group who apparently "stopped" LizardSquad from ddosing for a few hours
- It is rumored that Anonymous has threatened LizardSquad with repercussions if they did not stop the attack of the gaming services. It is a known fact that some of these videos are fake, but supposedly there are two that are real.

NOTE: I am not in any way affiliated with LizardSquad or any of the hacking groups mentioned in this post. This is just information obtained from news websites and other private sources.


NOTE: A ddos attack means distributed denial of service. It's an attack that originates from multiple computers, and usually it is spoofed and amplified using DNS/NTP servers that were not updated yet to patch the vulnerabilities. Anyone can do this with the right tools, so it doesn't require a lot of smarts, but on such a high caliber (1.2 tbps), i would imagine some skills were needed to obtain that. DDoS-ing is cnosidered hacking but actually it's something that any script kiddie can do with a certain tool.
973
We have discovered a serious problem with GlobalMarket - It some times does not pay the users due to a compatibility problem with 1.8. Please stop using GlobalMarket immediately and take your items immediately out of it.
As of this moment, we will not refund any losses due to GlobalMarket seing as we posted this announcement.
Immediately after the removal, we will look for other options and if none are found, we will have to wait until the author updates it and fixes this bug. Thank you!

NOTE: GlobalMarket is /ml

Slimefun was updated today. New items were added, most are in the "Christmas" category, but there also new "Enhanced Furnaces" (out of which we enabled only the first 4). These 'Enhanced Furnaces" help you by either erquiring less materials or processing them faster.

+ Added Caramel
+ Added Caramel Apple
+ Added Chocolate Apple
+ Added Christmas Cake
+ Added Enhanced Furnace (only the first 4 tiers for us, rest were too OP)
+ Re-added backpacks but only SMALL/MEDIUM/LARGE (sadly if you have any other you will not be able to recover your items yet. I have only left these three enabled because they are the safest and least prone to breaking.

Remember, type /sf guide to get a guide, or read the wiki here -> http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/slimefun/pages/wiki/
NOTE: Some items are disabled, so not everything you find in the Wiki will work on Survival.

Lately, I've started using the term "Super Fun Time Network" when referring to the clusterfuck of servers linked together by Bungeecord and I believe this to be a term that people should use more.
Since I started using it in the favorite messages, I decided we needed a new banner too.
One that not only has this change, but also is very eye catching in nature (and in tune with what people use these days).

Behold:



Let me know what you think!
The reason it's simple it,s because we needed both fast animations but also maintaining the filesize under 500kb for compatibility with all voting sites. I believe you will notice that it follows a trend set by the major networks.

General Announcements / Thank you!
Dec 22, 2014, 02:46 PM
Seing as Survival was finally and fully updated to 1.8 I'd like to thank the developers (and especially FearThe1337). Without you, none of this would've been possible. Thank you for dedicating such a huge chunk of your personal lifes for helping me and Super Fun Time! I'd like to congratulate you on a job very well done and I don't know what else to say but thank you very much and I love you guys <3.

Second of all, I'd like to thank dpa1991. A lot of you may not know, but recently pixelmon was updated, not once, not twice but more than three times! Dpa, while being on a vacation, away from home, and with just a laptop managed to update the server and help it thrive, despite being with his soon to be wife, Stariieyed thus having very little time, and also despite having some very serious problems back at home (which I don't want to reveal as it's up to him). Thank you old friend, you did an amazing job and I am very proud of you and so is the rest of Super Fun Time!
PS: It is my honor to award Stariieyed the Elder rank on Survival, for life and without any strings attached. We can't have the future Mrs. Dpa Stariieyed being an Elite, can't we?. This is for you putting up with dpa working for SFT (sorry about that, didn't want to steal him from you :P)

Third of all, I'd like to thank you, the community for putting up with us through better and through worse and until death set us part xD. You guys are awesome, and if it wasn't for you, we'd have no reason for doing all this awesome work!

Least but not the last, I'd like to inform you that thanks to Black Friday and your awesomeness we are now no longer having money problems with Survival  (we weren't having with Pix either), and also, that starting December 24th and until January1st we will run a special promotion on our premium shops.

979
Please vote in the poll and then comment explaining your vote.


Current Rewards:
Default Vote -> Gold Apple + 1k Emp
MinecraftServers.org vote  -> Cake + 2.5k Emp
Minestatus Vote -> 2 Cookies + 2k Emp
MCSL Vote -> Gold Carrot + 2.5k Emp

Lucky Votes:
1 in 8 chance to get an extra 3000 EmpBucks when voting
1 in 32 chance to get an extra 4000 EmpBucks

Cumulative Votes:

At 200 votes, get a Mystery Chest
At 500 votes, get a Jumbo Mystery Chest
At 1000 votes, get a million EmpBucks
Check with /votetop

Maximum emp gain per day ->  5 * default vote + MinecraftServers.org + Minestatus + MCSL + Lucky votes = 5000 + 2500 + 2000 + 5000 + 1 * 3000 + 1 * 4000  (this is considering that you get both lucky votes).
Total -> 21500 EmpBucks (not even counting the items)

Minimum EmpGain per day ->  5 * default vote + MinecraftServers.org + Minestatus + MCSL + Lucky votes = 5000 + 2500 + 2000 + 5000
Total -> 14500 EmpBucks (this would be if you got no Lucky Votes which is almost impossible)


NOTE:
-The reason I stopped using the old vote system and started using the new one was the lack of customization - every time I wanted to change a vote reward I had to bother ColesyM and I didn't have the freedom that I do now because I can't exactly go bother him 4 times / day to tweak things exactly to my liking
- I've seen people complain about the Vote Party. You need to understand that that is an entirely different plugin and does not make part of the new vote plugin. That's just a little something extra I added. If you don't like the rewards it gives, I could always remove it. It doesn't give everyone rewards, it's not meant to do that.
- The current voting rewards are just something that I did on the top of my head. They can be improved, but we cannot have random rewards or tiered rewards on this new voting system
- When suggesting vote rewards, please understand that it is impossible for us to give op items like diamonds and still maintain a decent economy.

I'd like to post a summary of the results of the Community Feedback for Q42014 that I have asked you to fill in a while ago.

Who are the people who answered our survey?
- 90% of the respondents play on Survival, 31% on factions, 26% on Other servers and 23% on Pixelmon
- They vote between 0 and 50 times / week


What did they think?
- 74% of the respondents thought SFT is heading into a good direction
- 79% of the respondents said they were satisfied with the way SFT was ran
- Most of the people rated the Survival team 8/10
- Most of the people rated the Pixelmon team 7/10 8/10 and 10/10 (equal votes for each)
- 67% of the people think SFT's rules regarding profanity are fine as they are


NOTE: A total of 39 people responded to our Survey.
You should now be able to view the results of the survey by visiting it -> https://docs.google.com/a/superfuntime.org/forms/d/1P72K0eicCf6-Y_U-0nmdLduujuN9uB2JGA_eAEjtJic/edit#

Hey guys, so over the last week, I have worked on setting up a Kit PVP server.
You can now try it out, and give me feedback to where it should be heading!

Server IP: 89.35.251.223
Credits: dpa1991 for the original idea, djkirsh for helping me build the spawn point, saywhat for help with factions stuff.

It's  rather crude now as I don't have a lot of time to work on it, but it should be fun. How i thought it -> Fight or mine until you raise enough money to start a faction (with default  settings you'd need to kill 100 people and never die to afford to create a Faction or to mine 20 Diamonds) and then it just turns into factions but without all the drama of losing items (because you have kits).

Let me know what you think!
984
Due to some severe problems with our economy problem, we have disabled  ChestShop until further notice.
We are currently doing a major rewrite to our economy plugin to make it more reliable and safe.
Currently, our senior developer (FearThe1337) is rewriting most of the code and should be done in no longer than a week. Until then, ChestShop will stay disabled to avoid shop owners not being paid. The economy plugin will stay loaded as it partially works, the problem lies in trying to make transactions with offline players (due to a faulty function the uuids aren't resolved properly from what I understand).

The second issue lies with Slimefun backpacks. I was alerted last night at ~3:30AM about a very serious issue - Slimefun backups crashing the server whenever they were opened. I have diasbled Slimefun backpacks until this issue is fixed. According to the plugin's author, this is a Spigot bug so it should be fixed relatively soon. Your items are safe, so once we add backpacks back, you will be able to access them.

Sorry for this, the 1.8 update has created problems for us which we are still dealing with / trying to fix.
985
I have updated the anticheat plugin and enabled a lot of the checks that were disabled before.

Potential problem that might occur:
- When breaking blocks with high level efficiency enchants or haste (or anything that increases block break speed), you might encounter "block lag" (which is actually just the anticheat plugin blocking you from doing that.). If you report tell me everything -> What enchants/potions you were using, what you were doing at the moment (breaking x block, mining, etc)
- When placing blocks rapidly, blocks that you place might dissapear. To not be confused with lag. Let me know if this happens
- Rubber banding when flying (should not happen if you own fly perms and if you use /fly. For flymods or 1.8 fast fly, it is normal for rubber banding to occur)
- Tagging you as flying or hovering when you are not doing that (again, report)
- Any other bugs you might notice.

It is of huge importance that you report these bugs ASAP so I can fix them and players are not pestered by them.

We have added two new premium subscriptions on Survival.

First one costs 10 eur / month and gives you double vote rewards and 500kEmpBucks and 64 Diamonds at purchase and renewal

Second costs 110 eur / year and gives you double vote rewards, 750kEmpBucks and 1 beacon at purchase and renewal

You can find them in the "Items and Unlocks" category http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/367643

NOTE: Double vote rewards affects only base vote rewards, not lucky votes / cumulative votes / vote party!

I'd like to bring to your attention some very important changes brought to the /vote plugin, that affect the rewards that you get when you vote.

- Every vote will bring you 1 Gold Apple + 1000 EmpBucks
- For every vote, you have a 20% chance of getting a "lucky vote" which gives you an extra 3000 EmpBucks
- For every vote, you have a 4% chance of getting a "super lucky vote" which gievs you an extra 100 XP and 4000 EmpBucks
- Once you receive 200 votes, you will receive a Mystery Chest
- Once you receive 500 votes, you will receive a Jumbo Mystery Chest
- Once you receive 1000 votes, you will receive 1mil EmpBucks
- Players will be reminded to vote every 15 minutes if they haven't (we will remove some of the auto announcements cnocerning votes for less global spam
- /votetop shows the top voters on the servers. NOTE: This plugin will say less votes than you have. The raeson for this, is that we have changed plugins so only votes done from now on will be recorded in this plugin


I am also working on adding Vote Party which will run automated  "parties" once a vote goal is received (for example 100 votes / day will result in a steveco key being dropped for everyone (this is just an example, it may be different).


NOTE: As of now, vote tokens are null and void. However, I don't recommend throwing them away or selling them for dump prices because we might come back to the old plugin (in case this one doesn't work out).

You can now buy any player's head from the Emporium (/warp emp) for 1 million EmpBucks.
NOTE: We are not responsible for heads that break. Please check the head when you buy it (that it displays correctly).

PS: You can also buy heads from the premium shop for 5 EUR http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/359061

Please vote in the poll above.

In my opinion, we should increase the autoshop tax from 5% (what it is now), to 10%. That would help the server's economy quite a lot and in a way, it would help the players too due to less inflation.
I strongly support this proposition.

NOTE: If the "YES" option wins, we will immediately increase autoshop tax to 10%

I have added a new virtual autoshop directory. Type /autoshop to browse it. The first few entries, I have added from /warp AutoDirectory and the rest are up for sale. Anyone that has an autoshop and is willing to part with 2mil EmpBucks can get their autoshop listed!

The second piece of good news, is that I have added Global Market permissions in /guishop for 7.5 mil empbucks

Happy Shopping!

We are doing a little experiment -> From this moment and until January 12th, the Emporium will no longer buy items from players. It will only sell items. We are doing this because we have noticed severe EmpBuck leaks, and we believe, in fact that the Emporium is the #1 cause of our problems.
This will be an experiment, however, if it goes well, we will make this a permanent thing.

We advise you to sell your things to Autoshops -> /warp AutoDirectory

I know there was a poll but I've narrowed it down to three choices and now we are going to stick for it.
Please vote for the game mode that you'd like our DayZ server to have (poll)

My only question is if it's going to be worth it (20$ / mo and a 50$ initial cost for anti cheat and so on) or not for a server that's most likely going to peak at ~5-6 players and be empty most of the time.

Please vote in the poll and if you want, comment your decision here.

The Pets are back! It was finally updated for Minecraft 1.8. There might still be some bugs, and that is to be expected, so please report to us.



I have also done a Premium Shop revamp:
- Removed some old items
- Reduced GlobalMarket price from 15 to 10 EUR
- Reduced Slimefun Research Unlock price from 20 to 15 EUR
- Reduced Hit Effects price from 10 to 7.5 EUR
- Added "Banner Maker's Kit" for 15 EUR (and a version with 1 wither head for 25 eur)
- Temporarily disabled Mob Spawner, Firework Rider, Particle Trails, Disguise Permissions from premium shop as we are waiting for the plugins to be updated (will be added back ASAP)
- Removed "Purchase everyone Flymod for 1 month"
- Removed "Purchase everyone compass for 1 month"
- Removed "Advertise your shop for 24h"

Disguises sort of are back (but not really). Thing is, a new version is out, it works, but just for ops as there seems to be something wrong with their permissions hook. I asked fear to take a look.

You can now put banners on your head, as hats if you have bought Hats permissions.
If you haven't, now would be the perfect time -> http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/category/359061

I have added ~12 banners which the players thought were the best, for your pleasure and swag.

Below is a list of the hats that you can equip once you buy Hats permission:

General Announcements / Prison map re-visit
Dec 08, 2014, 05:38 PM
Some of you may remember our Prison Server. While it died out due to various conditions, I have had a lot of requests to make a new prison server. Sadly this isn't it, but, I have found the old prison map.
Its story: After the prison server stopped I also lost all its files due to a hard drive failure (the backup hard drive failure) and I thought everything was lost. Today, I found the map in my gmail, in a conversation between me and one of the map builders.

To re-visit it (only the map, on a vanilla adventure server), come to 89.35.251.223

NOTE: This is not the final map, it's a map from a bit before release so some things are missing that were present in the final server.

We give you, this adorable group picture, straight from our Survival (mc.superfuntime.org) server.
We were decorating the spawntown for the holidays and so many players were around spawn, so I decided to call everyone for a group picture. Some of them came and this is the result!

NOTE: The spawntown has been decorated for the Winter Holidays, however, this will not be our primary location where events are hold - we have an entirely new location built for this occasion. More details will be revealed later on.


Edit: More Pictures

The latest update of ChestShop seems to have lost the ability to sell custom items!
Please destroy all your autoshops that buy custom items ASAP! Otherwise, you may be sold the normal variant of the item instead and lose a lot of items.

NOTE: We will heavily punish the abusers, we have a transaction log and we will identify those who abuse this and punish them.
NOTE 2: Use global market to sell custom items
