Please donate to our server! We're running low on funds due to Keiran's unfortunate medical problem that has arisen. The only thing keeping us up now are donations. Our BOGO is still running, so you can get double the length of your VIP Membership that you're donating for. This will last until November so snag it when you can!
Website Changes
• We now have new rules and such. Please read our Terms of Service so that you can understand these rules and follow them.
• Our Home Page has been updated. Our introduction to the story of our server has now been added to the beginning of Our Story and our administration list has been updated and are now located under our Server Information (as technically that's server information). News is now located on our home page for easier access.
• Our Story has been updated with the last official role play's summary. Keiran gives his apologies for not having updated it sooner (he thought he already had).
• In the In-Character Packet: Navigation of Our Cities has been condensed and Spoilers have been used for each sub-section of our current city. Claiming a Business and Street Role Play have been added. Under Fashion Wardrobifier, an animal accessories tier has been added.
• Some posts from our Out-of-Character packet have been removed. Some commands for default permissions have been removed and new permissions have been added. New Rules have been added for our Skype Conversations and TeamSpeak Channels. An introduction to what VIP Points are have been added, the VIP Point shop has been combined with it, and there's new ways to obtain VIP Points listed. One month of VIP Membership can be obtained through the lottery on the first floor of Casino. You can enter it once a month. You can now donate for the Coffer Wars game. There are also new ways you can help out our server.
• How to Join / Instructions have been made easier to follow.
• How to Join on the navigation bar now has several new links in it's drop-down menu. You can now find Terms of Service (previous Rules), Troll and Eau Lourde Guidelines, Our Story, and our FAQ there.
• Contest has been removed from navigation and has been added through the instructions on How to Join our server, as it's for people who are just joining or want to join.
• Guesting on our minecraft server has become null and thus the sub-forum has been deleted. This isn't because guests have been breaking rules but because people have never bothered to guest to our server in the two years that it's been available.
Character Profile Makeovers
An update has arrived and everyone's profiles will now receive full makeovers. We ask that you don't make any edits to the final coding itself once the update to your character profiles has been complete. So, what does this mean for you?
• All future submissions to the server, applications and new characters alike, will never be declined based on the fact that the 'coding' provided isn't used. So long as everything is in order and everything we need is provided as asked (and it fits our guidelines) then there would be no reason to decline.
• All future accepted submissions will automatically receive this update through the administration themselves so you don't have to copy and paste the coding yourself.
• You can not opt-out of these updates.
• All additions and edits you make to your Quadrants, Details, or Strifing will have be done in preview mode once your profile has been updated. A tutorial on how to make quick edits such as this will be provided in the future, as will new FAQ questions. If you have any future problems making edits to your updated profiles, just submit them to the Help Desk.
• Without further adieu, here are the designs that have been created for each blood caste and blood color hue!

This Month's Minecraft Server Events
• Keiran sends his apologies for not hosting the next official role play event this month. Something came up and the role play had to be moved to a later date due to the fact that the script has yet to be worked on. Come October there will be a vote on which day of November it will be hosted, as originally planned.
• Also, don't forget next month is Coming of the Pumpkin Beast! There will be exclusive VIP Games just for that month, plus a role play and perhaps several contests just to get the mood of the holiday going! We'll be decorating the amusement park in Polaris the last week of September, to prepare it for role playing in October. Look forward to the event announcement.
• Daily Street RP hour is officially determined (until requested for new times): 8pm EDT (based on our website's clock). This is when you drop what you're doing on the server and start role playing with whoever else is on within any given city.
• Role plays during the weekdays are determined by our members and may not be possible due to school and job interference, but every Saturday there will either be a VIP Game or Casino Game(s). One Saturday will be occupied by a battle against the Spawn of Chaos. Due to an update for Casino Game payments, you now either have to pay in Delta or VIP Points in order to play them. Either way, when you show up to any game, VIP or Casino, you have a right to vote on which one we play.
If a VIP Game that has not been filmed has the most votes to be played, then not only are we going to play that game, but we'll also film it. Filming requires for the majority of the participating members to join the Skype call. Filming grants everyone more VIP Points to spend in the VIP Point Shop.
Note on VIP Games: You don't have to be a VIP Member to play. It's only called VIP Games because you can earn VIP Points (which you can then spend to give yourself one month of VIP Membership).
September 5th - VIP Game
September 12th - VIP Game
September 19th - Spawn of Chaos (Ender Dragon) Battle
September 26th - Casino Game(s)
New Start Location City - Coming soon!
Polaris still needs a little more work here and there. You can volunteer to help build on Saturday and Sunday of every week of this month before and after each scheduled event and application/submission reviews. If you would like to help out, check out our to-do list here! VIP Points are given for every project you work on. We would like to get this city done before December.
