Home teleportation is being handled by a new plugin, using the new limits previously mentioned. While it was still necessary to lose per-player invites to private homes, the public/private status of each current home location was maintained.

We are making some changes to plugins on Pearl, the homes plugin we have been using has been a headache for players and admin alike.

The part you won't like:
Players will no longer be able to invite other players to their homes (at least at the start). The plan is that homes will now be either public or private. If a home is set to public any player that knows your name and the home name will be able to warp to the home. If the home is set to private only you (and staff when necessary) will be able to access it.

The part you will like:
The number of homes you will have has been increased.
Tourist rank ~ 3
Citizen and Worker ranks ~ 5
Adept and Master ranks ~ 10
Elite rank ~ 15

These changes should take place in the next few days and if all goes well with the...

Update: Reset has been completed.
The next reset will occur sometime after the roadblock to updating the server to 1.12 is cleared.

Make sure you collected all the wool you need! Ateph is finally breaking free of its fuzzy curse!

This reset will still use the 1.11 terrain generator, but will be a proper Ateph configuration. Interesting landscape, annoying monsters, traps and treasures, and some extra funny business.

Please heed the in-game warnings to not log off in Ateph (return to different world) or leave anything valued there. Otherwise you may lose stuff or log in to an unfortunate location.

Don't let the landscape and animals fool you, Ateph has some secrets, maybe some treats, for those to wander through.
Enjoy the latest version and what it contains.

As it was made mostly for silliness, the wooly version of Ateph will only be around a few days. A properly dangerous Ateph is coming soon.
