St Patrick’s Day 2017

Posted in Holidays | Leave a comment

Happy St Patrick’s Day! The one day when every one is Irish! We’ve set up the holiday area for the occasion.

We have a few special things to celebrate this holiday. First, stop by the pub for a drink and greet the first of 3 special villagers. Visit his nearby friends for other holiday goodies as well.

Don’t forget your holiday collector’s map built by KismetFoxfire of our Crazy Map Ladies

But that’s not all, take a look around some of the decor, there may be hidden treasures awaiting.

And our final surprise, drop a named coin in the Wishing Well, and on St Patrick’s Day you will find 7 Lucky Blocks in your backpack. Be careful with these Lucky blocks, some can give your great treasure, others may be a Leprechaun trick! (Unlucky blocks may cause harm or even death) We would recommend you not placing them down near any structures, animals, or populated areas.

Due to the potential for destruction we will turn off mob griefing and fire spread and turn on keep inventory for one week to allow you safe(er) detonation. After the one week is over, place at your own risk.

Happy holiday everyone! Remember to wear green to avoid being pinched!

Chinese New Year 2017

Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

Here is a holiday we haven’t celebrated on the server yet, Chinese New Year! The year of the Rooster!

Saturday, January 28th marks the Chinese new year. Come celebrate with us in Minecraft style. As tradition states, we will begin the celebration on Friday, January 27th (New Year’s Eve) by opening up the holiday area which will be open for Two Weeks to celebrate the longest holiday on the Chinese calendar.

Come check out the new display in our holiday area, complete with the customary dragon dance. Be sure to visit our Lucky Items holiday villager, ESPECIALLY if you were born during the Year of the Rooster, for everything you need to bring about good luck and fortune for the new year!

What is my Chinese zodiac?

Don’t forget to talk to villager “Elyntia” for traditional fireworks. Set off 3 smaller fireworks to “sound out” the old year, and 3 bigger ones to “sound in” the new year! The louder the fireworks, the better and luckier your upcoming year will be!

It is believed that praying in a Prayer Temple will bring about a smooth coming year.

Enjoy the traditional “Reunion Dinner” at our sushi bar. Enjoy the keepsakes!

Don’t forget to get your copy of our holiday collector’s map courtesy of our Crazy Map Ladies. They have done especially beautiful work this round! It was this map and its creator _Ayana_ who inspired the celebration of this holiday event.

Happy New Year everyone! May it be a prosperous one for all!

It’s the final holiday of the season and it has been a busy time for us on the server. We hope everyone enjoyed the wonderful decorations and events we’ve had all month. Remember that your stockings and your book for Zawadi must be turned in to an admin by January 7th.

I know I’m not the only one happy to see 2016 go. We’ve seen some big changes this year, and for all of you who have stuck by us and have continued to support us throughout it all, we are forever grateful. We’ve got more changes and some new builds coming. We hope you’re as excited as we are. But first, 2016 has got to go! So we gave it the send off it deserved… There will have another showing tonight at 9pm EST.

What have you learned from 2016? Making any New years Resolutions? Ready to move on? Grab a book and quil, and write down those things you don’t want to take with you to 2017. Release all that bad juju and then toss it into the fire!

Then head over to the fireworks as we welcome in a brand new year!

Don’t forget to grab your holiday collectors map courtesy of the Crazy Map Ladies, and stop by the holiday vendors for party favors!

Happy New Year everyone!

Happy Independence Day!

You know we love holidays on the server, but honestly, summer is kicking our butts! Between admins moving, kids being home from school, and various summer activities, we are exhausted. So let’s celebrate the last holiday of the summer with a BANG! Literally! If your town is seriously lacking in a decent fireworks display (like mine is) come watch the firework show with us!

(Note: I know there’s Labor Day but we’ve never done anything on the server for it)

The holiday areas are all decorated for the 4th of July complete with villagers giving away sparklers (don’t forget your sticks to trade).

There are lots of other goodies for you too, check out the custom holiday banners made by IrishPippin

and stop by the food truck for some real American BBQ! (Minecraft style of course)

Firework displays will be held at various days and times over the weekend with official ones on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th, at 8:00pm EDT on NuNu and 8:15pm EDT on Main. If you’ve never seen our Main Fourth of July event area you MUST come see it! There are lots of fireworks and goodies to give away, a beautiful and interactive rollercoaster, and fireworks display. You’ll definitely want to pop over for that.

And of course you’ll want to grab your Holiday Collector’s Map made special by _Ayana_ of the Crazy Map Ladies. She has done an outstanding job. Her skills amaze us all!

Let us not forget,

It’s CANADA DAY!

Happy birthday Canada! We didn’t want to leave you guys out of the holiday weekend so “Elyntia” will be giving away special “Canada Day” sparklers and Canadian flags.

Happy holidays everyone. We hope you have lots of fun, friends, family, and fireworks this weekend. Remember kids, SAFETY FIRST! Fireworks can be dangerous, and It’s hard to use those WASD keys with no fingers!
