Due to the recent server move and time constraints, we’ve decided to reschedule Saturdays Dark Moon event and Sunday’s map update to next weekend.
This will give the staff and myself more time to properly set up the Dark Moon event and complete the server transfer. And allow players a bit more time to get their builds looking nice & their map labels submitted.
Hello everyone,
Thank you all once again for participating in our bi-weekly server meetings. It’s at these meetings I’m able to gather feedback & ideas for the server and then do my best to implement in these updates!
List of Changes:
Since the majority our player-base are located in America, we have now moved the server over to the West Coast. If you play from America, you may appreciate the lower ping! It may take up to 24 hours for our address theancientworld.mcph.co to work. In the meantime, you can connect with 162.244.164.1:45451
Our server map is being updated this Sunday. Just a few more days left to touch up your builds, and submit a map label on our discord: https://discord.gg/yQZ2qUH
We have taken steps at improving server performance. This was done by monitoring our plugins closely and cutting out plugins that were either unnecessary or were using too many server resources. We think you will notice the improved server performance.
Check out the new items in the vote shop! Type “/vote” in-game to vote for our server. And type “/vote shop” to purchase the new items.
This Saturday at 7pm EST, the Dark Moon will Rise again.. prepare yourselves.
Many more changes to come soon!
We have some more developments going on right now, so expect more great changes to the server soon. Thank you all, and we hope to see you on the Server!
Today we had the Server Meetup/Meeting on the server at our usual location at Euloria. It was a very productive meeting with a lot of new ideas and good discussion. The main topics of discussions this week were Anti cheat, gameplay changes, moving spawn, oaks rest, player run libraries, server performance, events, and much more!
See the video below for the livestreamed video. The meeting begins at the 20 minute mark.
Last night on The Ancient World a powerful artifact was stolen from the Altar of Light deep within the ruins of Ironhammer. With this artifact removed from it’s safe resting place, Terth has awakened his undead army from their deep slumber to take over the world and claim the Shadow Tome for himself. With it, he will be able to reach his full power.
Watch our new video below for the brief story & video of the events which unfolded last night on the server.
Hello everyone,
Today the server has been updated with a few changes! I’m going to list them below and explain in some detail. Let’s begin!
Currently, the Ancient World is sitting on the most basic server plan on Mcprohosting. This is due to the server being largely inactive throughout the past year. With your help, we can upgrade the server to a higher tier and get some better performance! We hope to raise the total amount of $90, which bring our server up to the “Lapis” server tier for 3 months. You can donate simply with paypal from the button below.
You all asked for it. You got it. Brewery has made a return on our server!
We now have 2 new items in the admin shop by request. Lapis Lazuli & Cobblestone.
We now have a new Public Portal room at Oak’s Rest. Simple take the stairs down next to the Admin shop building (on the left side)
Within the Portal Room, players can rent their own portal space. Use this space to build a portal to your home, base, kingdom, wherever you like to give public access to others. Simply right click one of the portal signs to reserve the space. Portal Spaces are currently free, so reserve your portal before it’s too late!
If you need emerald blocks for your portal, you may purchase some for Nether Quartz.
We now have Head Drops on the server!
Now mobs & even players will drop a head item when killed. Head drops for mobs are set quite low, but for players it is higher. But you must use a sword for the kill.
Thank you all for your suggestions at the community meetings. You’ve made some great suggestions and I hope you are all satisfied with the outcome from these suggestions. And please consider donating so we can get this server upgraded and get some better performance!
The server meeting took place today at our usual meeting place at Euloria. Some of the topics we made headway on were server upgrading, oaks rest, claims discussion, brewery, more items in admin ship, fixing bugs, and more. Below is our Livestreamed video you can watch to catch all the discussions.
Discussions begin around 13 minutes.
Enjoy the new video! Where I run through the new spawn and show off some of the new things on the server.
Working off the feedback from yesterdays meetup, we now have server voting on the server as well as a brand new spawn region!
Every day your vote will reset, and you will be able to vote for the server again. Every time you vote for the server, you gain a voting point.
Voting points can be used to purchase rare and valuable resources in the vote shop. Currently you can purchase 1 diamond with a voting point. More rare items will be added to the shop soon.
Going off constructive feedback, we have set up a brand new spawning area on the server. This dark oak forest doesn’t yet have a name, but there are no worldguarded zones for at least 1000 blocks in all directions. This will allow new and old players alike to easily gather resources, build, and raid, without running into too many protected regions.
You may easily get back to Euloria as well as Port Orange by passing through a nearby portal gate. Speaking of portals..
All players on the server now have the ability to build up to 2 of their own portals! These are created by building a frame with at least 2 emerald blocks in it, then right clicking the inside of the portal using a named clock (renamed using an anvil)
For the full guide on how these portals function, visit the wiki page Here.
Chest shops have now been reintroduced. For instructions on how to create your own chest shop, type /shop while in-game. Currency on TAW is currently set to Nether Quarts.
A server community meetup took place today on the server at Euloria. Some topics of discussion included reducing lag, improving the new players experience, and the current server spawn.
Skip to 3 hours for meeting begins.
