We're back up!

After some interesting errors from the server.  I have fixed them and the server is back up!

In other news, I'll be adding another mod or two on Tuesday, October 23rd.  These mods are Industrialcraft and Buildcraft addons.  So, remember to grab the newest update from the box.

Let Us Begin

Hello Serverlings,

Today is the day we have all been waiting for.  Its the start of a brand new world full of mods!  This will surely be an amazing server.  This time around, I am not putting together factions, but that doesn't mean that you can split off into groups yourselves.  I just want all of you to have fun and I want to see what amazing things we can build.

If you haven't already, please get in contact with me so that I set you up with what mods we are using.

DeppQuest Tuesdays at CR Gamerz

Hello, Serverlings!

I'm excited to say that this next Tuesdays, September 25th.  We will be playing a Industrial Build of Minecraft for 1.3.2!  I have put together a good assortment of Industrial mods and I want to do a LAN Survival of this on Tuesday.

With  the switch to a more advanced Minecraft quickly approaching, this will be a great way to practice for the jump.

Simcity

By popular demand, the due date for the current server challenge will be extended until September 24th.

After this date, the sever will go down for a few days.  When it goes back up, we will be running Tekkit.

The Quest of Depp

With the Industrial Era slowly creeping upon our server, I have started to see some really interesting structures on the Overworld.  In one region, standing tall and strong is a 50 meter high stone wall.  I see that this faction is trying to claim there territory.   On the opposite side, another faction has built a sand castle and is creating an actual stone brick fortress to keep their enemies at bay.  Not to far way, stands the Fortress of Honorhold.  This Guild has accomplished alot.  Outside their stronghold, they begin construction of the city of Ravnica.  By what I am told, all guilds are welcome to the city to create guild houses and quite possibly help in writing the Legendary Guildpact.  In the Far off Far Lands, MacGerald builds the epically large Helm's Deep.  In the clouds, south of Adminville, there is a sky fortress that will onlby allow you in if you know the correct combination for the lock.  Further south, Recon has built a luxury hotel complete with social room, hot tub, and ball room.

The city challenge is ending soon.  Let your creative juices flow and build the city you can only dream of.

The Front of the Mansion on a nice sunny morning.
From the front you can see that this mansion is at least 2 stories.

The living room starts off with some elegant blue Glowstone
Come fully furnished and features a flat panel LED TV
Front shot of the living room.
Lots of space for a growing family or partying bachelor.
The superb grand entrance stairway.
Across from the living room is the Ballroom.
Here, we find a nice cozy study place.
Features an excellent view of the northern mountains.
Another study is found on the other side of the house.
With the upper floors still in developement, we will leave for now, but we will return when Sir Recon finishes his epic mansion.

Minecraft Tuesdays at CR Gamerz

Hello Serverlings, this is your Overseer.  Here again to tell you about the server wide games this Tuesday.  This week we will be doing Survival Games.  If you haven't seen Hunger Games, you should get on it, because that's what were doing.

Remember, CR Gamerz is doing $10 all-day passes to Minecraft players.

Playing the Game of Thrones

Hello Serverlings!  This is the Overseer, here to tell you about your epic next quest.  Starting today, I will give you all two weeks to slay the mythical Ender Dragon.  This legendary beast resides in the homeworld of the Enderman.  But your first challenge will be to find the Strongholds in the area to locate the End Portals.  If you succeed with this quest, you will earn your guild an additional two chunk by two chunk guild safe zone and I will build you an Iron Throne.  I know that most of you weaklings aren't up to the challenge.  I wish you luck.
