Please join me in welcoming ToxicPenguin_, thekyro, Value, and Xerp as the most recent additions to our moderator team!

All four have been active in the community and helpful to new players, and I am excited to have them join the team.  If you want to be a mod, don’t worry — more mods will be added in future based on the Moderation team’s nominations.

Find all four eggs and solve all the riddles to discover the safe password at /tele Easter.  The safe contains 100,000 gold, which will be the reward to one skilled player who cracks the puzzle.

The gold is donated by KJH787, thanks kjh!

Here is your first clue:

Please join me in welcoming thehermitbros as our newest in-game moderator!

It was very tough to select a winner, there were many high quality entries.  But after much thought, the winners have been chosen for each server.

On Primary Server, Xerp has won with his entry (shown below).  On Potato Server, Fungdark has won.

Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who entered.  I’m very proud to see so many excellent entries — you guys are skillful builders!  Based on how good these entries are, I’m now planning to do more building contests in future.

Each server has the new area linked via Root, although due to instancing, you may not see the correct link until after you’ve been outside Root for at least ten minutes.

If you didn’t tune in to the livestream yesterday, you may watch the footage from it here:

With the addition of instancing, Root needs a place where players can gather together to chat & trade.  I’m going to open this up to the community to allow you to design & create Root’s new Social Club!

Specifications:

• The social club is a small area, somewhere between 2×2 regions on the small side, to 3×3 regions on the large size.  2×3 regions is also fine. [a region is a collection of 16×16 tiles, as defined by the loc command. Details]
• You can create it in your pocket universe, in the wilderness, in a town, or wherever you like
• If your Social Club is selected, I will be copying your blocks, so you will be free to re-use them later for something else.
• The Social Club should be self-contained – no links or roads to other locations (other than a space for a telepad to link to Root where players will arrive and leave from (you don’t need to purchase the telepad, just leave a space for one)).
• When copied, the Social Club will appear as a pocket universe with blackness on the edges outside the region boundaries
• On that note, please design with region boundaries in mind — ie, don’t have a building hanging off the edge of your social club

Winning:

• There will be two winners – one for Primary, and one for Potato (different social club for each server!)
• Each winner will receive a Gold/Plat Pack Token that includes 5,500 gold and 39 platinum (equivalent of the $24.99 pack)
  
• On Wednesday afternoon, we’ll do a livestream where we check out all the entries, and possibly even announce the winner & install the new social club in Root
• Contest will run until the start of the livestream on Wednesday afternoon
• No purchase necessary to enter
• If an entry has blocks by multiple players, the mayor is the one who will win the prize
• Enter by posting a comment to this blog post that includes 1) your in-game name, 2) coordinate to teleport to view your entry (get them by typing /loc), 3) Size of your entry (ie, 2×2 regions), 4) Server your entry is on (Primary or Potato)

Please join me in welcoming Meep42 and Sage to the Community Moderators program.

They’ve been active for at least the past few months and demonstrated their helpfulness to new players, so I think they’ll be great additions!

We will be drawing the winner of the KJH Drawing this Wednesday at 2PM Pacific time — get the time in your local time zone.

I might also show off the new map if it’s far enough along, and perhaps give out some steam beta keys 😉
