Goood morning everyone! (yes, I am going to assume you are waiting until morning to read this)

We had no downtime this week which is an awesome change! things are starting to look up, and I am very much enjoying that. 

It may seem that not that much has been done on our end - but as you will see below, mostly behind-the-scenes work has been the focus of the last week. 

Changes

Monday 27th May

- The Firebrand origins fireball was changed to actually hurt people when it hits - fire is supposed to damage? who knew? Definitely not the Firebrand! (we promise they have been taken back to school and properly informed)

- The Shriekling origin (on the complete opposite end of the spectrum) refused to respect no as an answer when it comes to hurting people. As such, they were also returned to school and were banished from using their sonic blast. Instead, they were taught how to reach further away from themselves to mine and even attack people!

- The Build Competition for spawn was complete, Patchy the Octopus was added to spawn as well as the Nation/Guildhall, Waterfall, water tunnel, coral lake, and Nether Spawn. 

- A staff channel that listed out useful commands for us had been banished to the Archive channel category - this was returned to its rightful place in the staff noticeboard.

- A rule was added to nether and overworld spawn informing people that no more than 2 spawners are allowed to be used for a Mob XP grind farm - the server is struggling with too many entities, and farms like this just lead to increased lag.

Tuesday 28th May

- Hoppers were added to the Nation Hall to allow for players to hand in Natoin Points. 

- Nation Points were added as a reward to certain quests. 

- Simply Swords Trade in Quest was added. This quest allows a player to hand in their Unique weapon and receive the same weapon back with the chance of receiving two slots. This can be re-rolled until the two slots are found. 

- The Sophisticated Backpacks Anvil Upgrade was disabled and added to the item obliterator due to this crashing people when they left an item in the anvil upgrade tab and their backpack would become unusable. 

- Mayve Champion competition was announced. 

- Hopper and noticeboard were added to spawn for Mayve Champion entrees. 

- Nation leaderboard was added to the tab list to the right of the screen. 

- Nation coins were added to some more quests. 

- Jellyfish continue to try crashign the server, therefor they were banished back to the Void.
