In response to Bonemonster, I have not yet given up on the idea of temple wars - however I have in its current incarnation. Primarily it needs damage to function. For now I want to encourage challenge dungeons: A group of people come together and build something similar to the temple, except a lot more public. Those that can make their way through the maze shall end up in a reward room of sorts. This could be an entertaining building direction, however is completely up to you guys that play on the server.

I will, however, try to implement a temple-wars esque scenario upon the release of damage, a point where it can actually function correctly. Until this point I suggest that if people want, they could form dungeons or forts as groups, so when there is damage, those that wish for it may create sieges and other combat situations. Until then I'll allow people to make what they want of the game as is - it would seem to me that temple wars is not entirely dead, although some people do not wish to participate in it, others do, so I am atleast pleased that some such mechanic has been formally introduced for current or later use.

Also it seems that fire must be banned once more. Therefore: Official Re-Ban of Fire!

if anyone visits my house when I am not on, pics or it didn't happen!

For those on the server just now... it was reset to update a crucial mod.

Did server just died?



New Avalon has now tree and cactus farms as well as Cobblestone factory! I don't set my foots into ground in long time

Edit: looks like all of my work is deleted.

Edit: Yay! Nothing is lost!!!

It's on a completely different continent.

Hey, any advice on how to deal with Skeletons? I've always had problems. Lots of problems. Miles of problems. Even on Easy.

That said, one thing bothers me about this topic, what's with the Title of IIX? That's not how it's spelled.
It's VIII or 8. IIX looks like someone's trying to type 9 and made a slight typo.

If I can make a few suggestions for the next temple war,
1. To lower the chaos. On day 1 of founding of a temple, it cannot be attacked or raided.
2. You must openly declare war on another temple.
3. You can also for secret agreements and alliances to take out larger temples.
This might cause a less chaotic day 1 when damage is implemented.

Lord Elendiir will appear in game at an unspecified time (ok roughly now) as....*drum roll* Lord_Elendiir

You know, it's weird. I like mining in mines and hills, and exploring. Not dealing with monsters all the time.
Does that make me a wimp?

Is minecraft still working for any of you?

It's working again now.

Nah, but once you have a bow, they aren't a big problem.



Also today I salvaged 9 stacks of brick. : D Now I don't know what to build though.

I hope the lava is still there.

And we are currently still in search of the Talos temple...

I offered Hiomaste sanctuary within our hallowed halls but he refused. It seems the thieves guild is desperate to find Talos on its own. Bwahahahahahahaha!!!

So much treasure in there too.

We have more.

True, Thief's Guild has access to old WoB nuke launch codes :nod:

I was tired of seeing VIII as for some reason I always assume that it's a FF thread no matter what the title

Thank you, Wampbit.

I wondered if the entire world was playing an elaborate joke on me for a moment.

Seriously, thanks.

And yeah, I really should make a bow. Thankfully I am the master at Creeper killing with swords.

I play on peaceful. Because even when I have my back to a wall, zombies still manage to sneak up behind me.

I finished my new house, its still empty but I plan on decorating it soon. I also need to finish my moat, its already way deep and partly full of water. I am gonna make it 2-3 blocks wide!


I planned on finishing digging it out, and blocking up the foundation some time tonight. I also need to make a third floor and a throne room and center tower later.
Too bad doors don't work, I have plenty of iron to make doors from.

Then when I get finished the only way in or out (unless you cheese) will be a large bridge. Should be pretty epic (imo) when I get done. And when I do get done, it's back to mining! I have a LOT of land scape work left to do though.

Also, I need to check my signs, someone (I wonder who) said they left me a sign next to mine. Someone also make a pretty massive fire atop my look out tower with big blocks of fire. Thanks for that!

Someone playing with fire again after it was re-banned? Now where did I put that banhammer....

No, they made massive torch things. you know.

They didn't hurt anything, just made it easier to see my tower from far away at night. I like it tbh.

Anyway, I would like to see a auto miner, or some kind of steam/coal/wood powered drill. I think that would be neat.

You can make a cobblestone factory. travel to Torhemn, take the old road to Aldgate, when you get to the roadside graveyard travel east and you can see sauroks floating island. He has a coblestone factory up there.

You can also make an obsidian factory. I have one in my cave, though it does take forever to mine the obsidian.

Na I wanted to see a powered drill or something.
