• Perigee of the Pump Biscuit is over but that doesn't mean the fun is! This month we present to you Gender Swap Perigee! This whole entire month you can change your skin to the opposite gender (same character). Though the gender-swap isn't canon, you can still role play in these skins!
• Worse Than Death Chapter 3 is going to be on the 21st, the official event thread will be put up a week or so before the role play itself. Summary for the last role play is already up in Our Story Continues. As a reminder: New and old members can join the rp even if they haven't attended the others!
• Our Worse Than Death series should end around May, which means we'll start working on our Nouva Chronicles YouTube Episode series right after! One of the first things we're going to do is order a new custom song just for the opening of the series. Any donations we receive will go towards it.
• Our first volume of TrollMe AU: Building Clubs should be released soon. Our musician, Kenji-B, is currently preparing and arranging everything for us. The volume will be released on BandCamp and we'll have an all new link in the navigation bar for our music.
• We are an official 1.8 server! Yay! But this also means that some people are going to have a problem with plugins and such. If a plugin isn't working as it should, check the FAQ and then after our Help Desk. Do not send me or any of my admins a message telling us that a plugin doesn't work! We can't keep track of reports through our mailboxes because of application reviews.
• Along with 1.8 comes username changes- be careful when changing your name as some of our plugins, and even our whitelist, have become glitchy. If you're having issues after your username change, please report it specifically to Auchia's Username Change thread.
• A construction project for our next event will be on the 19th of this month and will begin as soon as I get home from work (which is usualy around 3/3:30pm EDT (time change from EST to EDT occurs on the second Sunday of this month). If you wish to help out, hop on the server around that time. After the role play itself is over that Saturday, the nether will be available to explore and a teleport will be provided via the Teleportation Center.
• An official update to our Resource Pack will be released before the role play event on the 21st. Changes will include some flowers, some of our newest 1.8 blocks, hostile mobs of the nether, a new diamond sword (in this case greatsword), and a all new dragon.
• Our server doesn't have a skype call group any longer. Instead we have a TeamSpeak server for calls. A download to TeamSpeak's client program can be found on our home page along with our TS Address. Our server requires a password to get in. If you're a member of our server you would have already received a special administration notice with the password to get in OR would have received it via joining our server (recently).
• We now have Lore Reserves on our server, which are au's within our au (as so elegantly put by our beloved attemmhinton). We already have two in the making: Pokemon and Hybridstuck. There's a special Lore Reserve forum within our Events forum. This is where you can sign up to join a Lore Reserve or even create one of your own!
• Our website has gone under some major changes. To better explain the new layout and what goes where when posting, check out this post here.
• Along side our website's reconstruction we've also attempted to make it easier to figure out what you need to know for our server. We have a TrollMe AU Starter Kit for those who are joining which holds the most basic of information (guidelines, application coding, switchable character stuff), Out-of-Character Packet (holding information you need to know such as mailbox numbers, commands, games and events, VIP Shop and Bank), and the In-Character Packet (lore, villages, Project FW). I hope you take the time to look over these so you won't get lost later.
• We've also reconstructed our List of Members and Their Characters for our minecraft server, now listing people by their website username (not website display name) rather than their minecraft username as their username can change.
• Speaking of username changes- all members of our server are now required to place their current username in their mini profile (using the Update Status button). Your Update Status will now only ever be used for your username.
• Our newsletters are now enabled for posting in, so you can advertise your events, shops, and other things. Just post in this newsletter all your advertisements so that others may see them.
