Introducing: The Five Days, Premier Community Update
What is it?
No fancy update page, this is for the community! Each day of the week. I'm going to announce something dramatically new. It can be anything: a game server, a new feature, changes, overhauls, etc. In the future we'll be able to build upon these additions and adjust them to our community's needs.
Day 1: Monday
MiniGames Overhaul
All course maps but one have been removed, autobunnyhop has been added to assist with surfing, and most importantly we have abandoned workshop download on our MiniGames server, as it was messing with the preferred mapcycle plugin which we have now switched to as well as back to the good old FastDL per map, downloads should be quicker now.
Remember, the MiniGames server is 24/7, 64 tick, 24 slots, and can be found by connecting to mg.moonshade.net:27015
There's plenty more changes where that came from, so make sure to keep an eye out. We're also going to have a giveaway at a random time in the MiniGames server, when everyone should be on, so stay tuned!!
ThrowBack to the Past, Roleplay Server Event Announcement
You heard right, there's going to be an event for the roleplay server. What could it be this time? How about an idea so extreme, the drunk men at the bar wouldn't even do it?
You see, with every true map change we've had, there's been a serious problem. This cycle is here to redeem those problems. For Mittelfans it was trying to pile all the content in, for abuse me city, it was trying to figure out what was crashing the map, which turned out to the day/night cycle. For Freemancity, effects began crashing everyone at a time. For Westfield, the VIP sign had crashed everyone and it took us over a month to find it was the cause!
This daring is event is called Blast to the Past / Throwback Map Cycle.
Here's how it works: This first week, we begin on the map we've come to know and love. On Friday, we leave it. We time travel to the past to last year in January / Febraury / March to our first map, Mittelfans. This is all to hype up for the brand new map. We simply
Enough of my blabbering, here's how the schedule will be:
Week 1 (Now until Friday) - Westfield
Week 2 (Starting Friday) - Mittelfans
Week 3 - Abuse Me City (Hell Yeah)
Week 4 - Freemancity
Week 5 - The New Map
Why even do this?
To experience a map change, you as a player, must experience the previous maps and see how far we've come. Each map has a certain theme, different number of homes, size of homes, size of map, where everything is, etc.
Remember, each week we stay a total of seven days as a duration for the map, then the final map we will stay on next as our map to use.
