Yesterday as it was raining cats and dogs (yet also ice on the same day), and Twitter was getting quite busy. But amidst the constant local meteorologist tweets, I also got tweets from MBS News (which the GSM was happening on the MRT).
So if you haven’t been following the news, before the end of the year, the world is switching servers from Gamma, to Epsilon. The world will be MUCH bigger than it is, and there’s new islands to the Northeast to claim (which I might “move” my island over to one of them).
No word if this means the server will be updated to 1.10 or 1.11. Last I was informed, they’re still waiting for core mods to be updated (and stable).
With this, the world will be backed up. And then….then…., hilarity ensues as the gloves (aka WorldGuard) come off, TNT/Lava is enabled (which means griefing is allowed). This is up until the server actually crashes. When it does, it’s game over (Gamma won’t come back up) ’till the new server is up.
Exactly what day this happens, I believe it’s the 27th (a few days after Christmas).
Tulsi and I already know how to ‘celebrate’ it; by blowing eachother’s towns up. Also, I’ll be recording the event and posting it on Youtube (after editing of course). I’ll also head over to Central City and see if there’s any chaos going on there.

OH yeah! Before I forget, there will also be a special Christmas Spleef Tournament held on Christmas Day. Though this will unfortunately clash with attending the Indy Impalong’s final day in Wurm this year. Last year was fun, and I would love to be a part of it once again. But I also don’t want to miss something that was a staple in the early days of the MRT.
It’s going to be tough balancing the two. Though I hope the Spleef Tourney happens at a time where I can do both.
