In the next week, Ateph will be reset. We don't want to stay cold forever.

Some of the server plugins will be getting updates as well, in preparation for finally the server up to 1.12~. Many servers had issues with this update, and some things are unavoidable to break, but the "damage" will be much less than if we had rushed.

The upcoming aquatic update will likely also be delayed on Pearl, at the least to allow time to adjust for the significant physics/environment changes. However, it won't take a full year, as long as the core server plugins get appropriate updates without making their own new problems.

Yup December 17th again (is almost here, and this is mostly a copy and paste from last year) . Tomorrow is first flight day .

Wait, in prior years you announced on the day of First flight day, what gives?
I was being generous and giving you a day notice (2 years in a row), woot for me.

What is first flight day on Pearl?
It is a day that we give players an hour to fly.

Do I get to fly all day?
Nope, flying time is between 7PM and 8PM EST. Be on the ground at 8PM or that first step might hurt. Hey, at least flight is not limited to the 12 seconds 0f the first Wright Brother's flight.

I just login during that hour...
