Things are a bit delayed due to two reasons, the first our developer having internet and PC issues and the second reason is updating all our plugins and content to 1.9. The server is now stable and running 1.9.2.

In the last month builds have been progressing very rapidly, there are many new screens on builds available in the news section and the Workshop Forums. The plan for April is to:

- Implement Woodcutting
- Implement Mining
- Implement Fishing
- Implement Citizenry (Compatibility Fixes)
- Implement Dynamic Economy
- Implement Rankings
- Extend World by 500 x 500 blocks
- Construct Five Hamlets
- Construct Three Mines
- Planning our first Town

Woodcutting, Mining and Fishing will not use Vanilla Minecraft methods and instead we have created our own unique methods that runs on Minecraft methods that I am sure players would greatly enjoy, woodcutting instead of breaking individual blocks, players will be able to chop down entire trees, mining instead of digging in cuboid pits will require players to mine veins of ores in realistic looking mines, fishing will involve using different tools and different baits to catch different types of fish, which means in one area a player could catch up to twenty different types of fish depending on the method they use. We have also sped up the fishing process so fishing should be more exciting than vanilla where too much time is waiting for fish to bite.

In terms of item databases we will be starting work on Smelting, Weaponsmithing and Armoursmithing items and recipes so those skills will be available to the player on server release. Weapons will have their own models (No mods required) that reflect their attack range and there will be some upcoming screenshots of our weapons very soon. We will also be implementing custom ambient music composed specifically for the server as background music that will play, the music played will depend on the ingame location, ingame season or any events such as nearing a boss or entering an instance (once again no mods required).

There is lots on the plate in terms of development this month now that our developer is almost back to full capacity, hope you guys are looking forward to / enjoy what we are planning on delivering this month.

Due to the delayed date of opening we will be conducting three server tours: Event Countdown - where we will show you current features and the current builds, suggested texture pack is Conquest 1.9.
