Currently TAW is offline while I do map maintenance to prepare us for the future.

Biome changes are going to be worldwide. This is one of the ways we are preparing for the server upgrade to 1.13+. Having Ocean biomes should allow for aquatic mobs to appear, and Beaches will attract their respective turtles.

Things to note;

• All Ocean areas will now be Ocean Biomes.
• Snowy Mountaintops will now be proper snow biomes, so that they have actual snowy weather
• Beaches will be Beach Biomes.
• Areas with corrupted or misplaced biomes will be repaired
• And much more!

Check our blog this weekend for our next announcement.

Greetings! It’s been some time since we’ve had any updates here and there have been a lot of questions being asked about the server, so It’s time to provide some much needed answers!

Upcoming Server Update

Right now our focus is on the future of TAW. There are 2 major Minecraft updates we’re yet to catch up with (1.13 & 1.14). Both updates add brand new content to the game that we want to take full advantage of. For example; the new ocean biomes introduced in 1.13.

Below is a mock up image of what we have in mind for an ocean expansion for TAW. Notice the large body of water added. This map update will also give us a lot of extra space to add islands or continents. Some pre-existing continents come to mind such as The New World, and also newly generated lands.

Continuing Map Work

We’ve been continuing our tradition of visiting older areas of the map to rejuvenate it and bring it new life. Keep checking back on our World Map render to see all the changes!

New Spawn is on the Horizon

With the server update on the horizon we are setting our goal to construct a new community spawn. Much like our community spawns of the past (Oaks Rest etc), this will be a spawn built entirely by our community using survival mode. This is a great opportunity to work together and foster a true community feeling for our old and new players alike. We hope you will join us soon!

Our first server meeting of the year has been adjourned! If you missed it, you can catch up by watching the Livestream recording below. Thank you everyone for coming! Topics that were discussed; Waiting on 1.13/1.14 plugin & software updates, new economy, new spawn, new playable areas, the new donation shop & more.

Meeting starts at 21:50

Upcoming Server Meeting
Saturday March 9th, 5pm est

Drakortha asks that you attend.

Our first server meeting of 2019 will be held this weekend. We ask that you attend, or at least leave a sign on the meeting board to be discussed.

It’s simple – take the airship portal at Port Orange to be teleported to the meeting area. Knock off an empty sign on the topic board and put it back with your ideas, questions, or concerns. We will then all lend further discussion on each and every topic on the board.

Many souls were lost long ago along the shores of Shaurekoth Durn. However, a few brave enough to face the depths of the cold abyss found a doorway back to their earthly bodies on the Ancient Realm.

And with the first souls passing through this doorway a vacuum was created for all other souls to pass on through as well. Welcome back everyone!

Check out all the changes to the world map!

It has been at least a few hundred years since Age of Rifts 2!

The Ancient World will be reopening once again this coming weekend, starting on the Night of March 1st. 

The entire of the Ancient World map will be available for play, including all the continents. Faction Data from last year is still intact. So if your territory was correctly claimed before we left for Shaurekoth Durn, it should still be protected from looting. Player data also remains intact.

The server will be running Minecraft version 1.12
Our new server IP is 119.252.189.140:25729
Or connect with play.mctaw.net

Join our discord for further discussion or any questions, and we look forward to seeing you all on March 1st! https://discord.gg/vPym86z

It’s been a few days now into the Blue Peaks Recovery Project. A very small team of us have been working in Blue Peaks on a large scale cleanup/recovery. We felt like it was time to retire Blue Peaks as a major location for rifts and other destructive events.

Here are some examples of changes around Blue Blues.

It’s been over a thousand years since the first Age of Darkness. During this time, blue peaks was bombarded with dozens of rifts, meteors, and massive undead attack. It’s also been through various other intense ages such as Age of Darkness II, Age of Rifts II and the Dark Moon Events.

All of this was caused by Terth’s hold over the region – which has now been released after his defeat at the end of Age of Rifts II, imprisoning him on Shaurekoth Durn.

Many more changes are coming to the TAW map. Check the world map render to see them as they come!

The Aquatic Update Has Arrived!!!

We are now running Minecraft version 1.13 and with it, a new water world to play on!

Whitelist information.

Starter Island
This is where you will start off on your first steps into this Aquatic world! Stay to say hello and have a chat, or take off from the dock using one of the supplied boats.

Just follow the signs!
Here are some things you may find on our little island. Help yourself to some wheat for nourishment. And there’s a crafting table inside the storehouse you can use. Make yourself at home and use our beds upstairs to skip the night and drive away the new phantom flying mob!

The Phantom!
Everyone who resides on our island are well aware of the creature that now lurks in the skies above. You wont expect them until the last second! Beware when working for long periods outdoors overnight. Sleeping in a bed occasionally will draw Phantoms away, as they are attracted to insomnia. Which builds on your character the longer you go without rest.

Drowned zombies!
They’re my personal favorite!

To visit the Aquatic  world, select version 1.13 in your Minecraft launcher, then enquire on our discord about being whitelisted.
