Good news, the Creator Analytics update is ready but the bad news is the timing isn't right to launch. I have some IRL things happening that require my undivided attention. All good things though, so no worries there. It's just best to wait until things are settled so that I can return the same attention to the update and you.
Creator Analytics WILL release next month! It took longer than initially expected for a number of unexpected reasons but scope of work also grew in many directions for the best. There's always more to do after the launch but there's more than enough to be useful and fun now and into the foreseeable future and historical past interests. Always nice when things motivate you to go, go, go. Didn't help switching chart libraries last week but know it was the right decision for the short and long run.
You'll see soon and I'm looking forward to having the proper time to respond to bugs and feature requests.
Hey all. Spring time is flourishing, and so are preparations for the next server updates!
The development team has been working hard on a major technical update to the server's framework, which is the migration from Paper to Sponge. What that means is that the development workflow is going to be faster after this update, as Sponge works much closer to Vanilla Minecraft than Paper does. Thanks to this migration, we're benefiting from a deeper customization of game mechanics and a general avoidance of sketchy coding work-arounds. If you'd like to learn more about the technical aspect, @cotander will be happy to tell you more.
That being said, we decided to release a server version 3.1.2 before the Great 3.2 titled Moria Update.
The 3.1.2 release is going to feature the new recoded server. It will serve as an intermediate update between the Eriador update and the Moria Update, as we are planning on using this occasion to find the potential bugs that might arise because of the migration.
Moria Update
We need to delay the release of Moria, both because we need to ensure that the server works correctly on Sponge in time for the massive event we are planning, and because summertime in general is a better gaming period than April/May (historically, it has always been better that way). But do not be sad, for we've prepared a little sneak peek for you in the form of a little TIMELAPSE!
I know it's tempting but whatever you do, don't press any of the moderation buttons that show up on resource pages! It won't be until Tuesday that we'll be back in the office to look at any of this :(
Wish i saw this post last night, i let the temptations get the best of me XD i made a ticket with the link and creators name just in case this isnt a joke
Congratulations to the_pharaohs_cat for his promotion to the role of Head Builder on our server! The Head Builder will fulfil the responsibilities listed below in coordination with the Empire War staff team:
Authorising the initiation of projects regarding the development of maps for Empire War.
Overseeing the renovation and improvement of maps already on Empire War (including design standards and direction, prioritisation and logging changes).
Overseeing the preparation of new maps for Empire War, including adapting maps from both EpicQuestz and older versions of Empire War. Specifically, ensuring aesthetic standards are upheld when preparing maps for gameplay, and the most appropriate texture changes are made when converting a map from use in the EpicQuestz resource pack to the Empire War resource pack.
Overseeing the building of lobbies.
Overseeing the preparation of the server aesthetically for events such as Christmas.
After a roller coaster ride of locating, merging, migrating and auditing massive amounts of data (nearly a billion records), I'm back on crossing off front-end features until remaining tasks are down to launch preparation. The bulk of the work is done, last 10% requires pushing through and eventually leaving some ideas for post launch.
Just going to drop several work in progress screenshots from various analytics sub-pages and let them do the talking:
Please, please, please do not hesitate to message me or another staff member if someone is using our site's private messaging system in such a way as to make you uncomfortable. You have every right to use our site without being subject to private messages that make you feel unsafe or uneasy. You should never feel pressured into not speaking up.
Every private message chain has a block and report button underneath that allows you to quickly and easily block communications with a specific user, and (if you choose to) submit a report to the administrators so that they can investigate any relevant message chains and act in your best interest to keep you safe. If you'd rather talk about the situation with a site moderator, we can also forward your concerns to the admins (with your permission). Reporting a user through their profile will also put the situation on our radar so the team -- as a whole -- can put energy into investigating the situation for you.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Drzzter

As a funfact: There was a case of a stalker, the guy kept creating accounts to harras the victim. At the end Cyprezz locked the ability for 1 levellers of contacting the victim.
If anyone is harrassing you, report the guy. You can prevent a lot of damage or further victims
I’d like to add on and say that all conversations are private and us moderators can’t ever see them unless you screenshot the chat. Only the admins can check the contents of PMs, and even then it’s only ever used very rarely when we think there’s a genuine concern for another member’s safety. Even if we suspect that something fishy is happening in PMs, we won’t check. You don’t need to worry about any spying or moderating based on PM content unless we have a genuine reason to do so.
that being said, this does mean that when you report a PM thread, we can’t view the messages or context, so in the report you should screenshot the chat or mention to us that it’s in xyz pms with xyz person.
(the exception is the live PMC chat where all staff can check private PMs again only if it’s necessary)
