Thank you everyone for coming!

Unfortunately, due to technical issues, we weren't able to enjoy the new Update, but we still had a lot of fun playing the existing maps! Stay tuned for a new event, rescheduled for the 3.1.2 Update (with Grimslade as a new map!)

A new update is underway...

We're also organizing an event, and we need YOUR help deciding which day it should be. Vote in the poll to pick a date of the big event, right on our Discord Server


Watch this trailer for a new map, coming very soon to be besieged and attacked on our server:

New Update Confirmation & Delays


Hey all. Spring time is flourishing, and so are preparations for the next server updates!

The development team has been working hard on a major technical update to the server's framework, which is the migration from Paper to Sponge. What that means is that the development workflow is going to be faster after this update, as Sponge works much closer to Vanilla Minecraft than Paper does. Thanks to this migration, we're benefiting from a deeper customization of game mechanics and a general avoidance of sketchy coding work-arounds. If you'd like to learn more about the technical aspect, @cotander will be happy to tell you more.

That being said, we decided to release a server version 3.1.2 before the Great 3.2 titled Moria Update.

The 3.1.2 release is going to feature the new recoded server. It will serve as an intermediate update between the Eriador update and the Moria Update, as we are planning on using this occasion to find the potential bugs that might arise because of the migration.

Moria Update

We need to delay the release of Moria, both because we need to ensure that the server works correctly on Sponge in time for the massive event we are planning, and because summertime in general is a better gaming period than April/May (historically, it has always been better that way). But do not be sad, for we've prepared a little sneak peek for you in the form of a little TIMELAPSE!

Here's the sneak peek :)
