Explosive Fun
When Worldguard kept Vamp1re_man and CluelessKlutz from getting into a tower in /warp towns, they decided to blow their way in with a TNT cannon! Getting the community involved, EniBeast expanded the cannon more, and they scored several hits against the tower. See images here
Disguise Party
Near Legend town spawn, a small party was thrown, with everyone bringing some kind of disguise. Of course, Adrian came and tried to crash the party, but did not succeed. See images from the party here!
Storytime with the Crew - The Lone Villager
A short time ago, on a computer far, far away, lived a villager by the name of Bob. Bob lived in a quiet little town, not unlike many others, by the name of Sprucehollow. Day after day, Bob worked in his tool shop, crafting the tools for the entire village. He’d trade with the occasional adventurer, but very few passed by his way. After all, Sprucehollow was deep within a thick, lush Taiga biome. New villagers would occasionally appear, having trekked from their previous village to create a new life in this serene town.
Others who came would bring stories from the outside world. Bob listened with wonder as he heard adventurers recount tales of perilous dungeons, thieves, and battles. As time went on, more and more new villagers appeared, all telling of homes being destroyed by a group of players, who would drive villagers out of their homes, putting them in small cages. “How cruel!” Bob thought to himself. Some reports even stated the villages attacked had been razed to the ground. As Bob went to sleep, he pondered these events, peering into the forest, which was just barely lit by the moonlight.
*****
Early the next morning, he awoke to a large racket in the town square. Grabbing his mightiest axe, the toolsmith rushed down to the center, only to find a group of adventurers in the middle of the crowd. Before any could spot him, he ducked into a tree he had hollowed out last summer. One, who appeared to be the leader of the group, had a firm grip on one of the elders, who Bob knew as Sophie the Librarian. “Give us the town treasury!” the barbarian, dressed from head to toe in thick armor, demanded. Cowering, the villagers surrendered their wealth, and began being lead away by the armed company. Bob hid in the thick woods, petrified.
After the party had vanished from sight, the forest was still, absolutely still. Grass crunched and leaves rustled gently as a herd of cows passed by. By midday, Bob had come out of his hiding place, and walked around the village. “Weapons” a simply billboard stated above John’s Armory. Noisy and large, iron swords hung from the wall, with one incomplete blade still resting on the anvil. Resolved to rescue his neighbors, Bob grabbed plenty of food, a bow, some wood, a little bit of cobblestone, and plenty of torches before setting out. The real journey had only begun.
To be continued . . .

Humans Of MeepCraft - Feat. @Liz, @TheHeadHunter1 (Jack), and Qusm (Shawn)
What inspired your name?
Well, I was up one night, and I was like, “What would make me cool?” I thought of “TheHeadHunter,” but it was already taken, so I added a 1 on the end.
My name started from back then in 2015, where I combined all of my initials, and mixed them together. My friends thought it was cool, and I added a “Q,” no idea why.
I like simple names, so I just kept my name,”Liz,” and I’ve always said “oi,” so I just combined the two together and thought it looked cool.
If you were given a million Meebles right now, what would you spend them on?
Giving it out, to be honest. That’s what I did with my last 500k. - Qusm
I would buy a couple of people ranks, donate some to Legend, and use the remaining on my pwarp. - HeadHunter
If I was given a million Meebles, I’d buy a few people ranks and make a town. - Liz
What is it like owning a shop?
It’s actually a lot of work. You gotta constantly check for stock and acquire the materials for refilling, and try to implement the suggestions of others, as well.
I basically just supply Liz and Jack with large amounts of money to run it, but it seems like a lot of work, with fun mixed in.
t’s pretty cool. You get lots of money pretty quickly when your shop grows in popularity. It’s fun talking to the customers, as well. - Liz
Who is the best staff member to troll?
Saltknight, for sure. I get him mad easily. For example, when we sethome at his spawn, or I message him, “ily” a lot, he gets mad and it’s hilarious. - Jack
Haha, the best staff member to troll is probably CluelessKlutz since he’s Legends mayor.- Liz
Kling, because I have so many inside jokes with him. We have so many because he’s a funny guy like his interpretation of others. We mess with each other all the time like that. - Shawn
All three of you spend a lot of time on Discord together. What is it like being part of a group like that?
It’s amazing. Jack and Shawn are probably the greatest guys I’ve met on this server. They are always so fun to talk to on Discord and they make me laugh to death everytime something happens in Discord.
Well, certainly I am the loudest and just say funny things that always make Jack laugh. All I hear is Jack laughing and Liz’s mic on mute (sadly). - Shawn
It is amazing and at the same time it’s really funny. It gives us something to do while we’re just playing while we’re on for hours. Shawn is always cracking Liz and I up and being on Discord with them is 100x better.
If you could blow up @AdrianisEpic’s House, how or would you do it?
I would get everyone on the server to place one tnt, and let him watch as we all blow it up. - Shawn
I most likely wouldn’t do it considering Adrian is a pretty nice person. Although, I would love to burn his house to the ground and put a sign in front, “ur hot.” - Liz
I would start off by randomly placing lava around his house, with tnt, and signs with dead memes scrawled on them. Then when he goes in I’ll blow it to pieces. - Jack
Anything else you would like to add?
Just a thank you, and I love everyone <3 - Jack
I like to call the boys on this server pretty so they are self motivated, and I love everyone! - Qusm
Nope - Liz

Community Events
Push Fuzzlr!
Players gathered around and realized that @Fuzzlr had gone AFK and thanks to 1.10 they decided to push him from main spawn to the MeepClub then back through spawn to the MeepForest. It was so much fun and everybody involved had a grand old time, even @Cooleysworld joined in on the fun and then Fuzzlr came back and finished his venture through the waterslide. There was a forum post made by @Wiggle_Waggle_ view the pictures from that day here!
Hide and Seek
@Cooleysworld played a couple awesome games of hide and seek in spawn and the winners of said games were to win VIP! Congratulations to krazzysomething on your new rank!

Humans Of MeepCraft - Feat. @MamasLittleDevil
What brought you to MeepCraft?
Well, I was looking for a new server, and meepcraft had a lot of games to offer.
How did you come up with your in game name?
My in game name is a mix of a friends youtube name with something just that I thought of
What’s your favorite minecraft block?
My favorite minecraft block would be dark oak in general, it has a maroon look that looks warm to put in a home.
Are you happy with the new updates on Meep?
I would prefer it to be in 1.8-1.9 but it’s nice to see meep is updating but I'm not sure on the meeble rates. But in general I think Meepcraft updated with a new spawn it’s good, if not great.
What is your favorite food in real life?
It would have to be oreos, not the healthiest option, but it floats my boat.
How’s your town in Gamma?
My town in gamma is a nice small town, there isn't any tax, which is good, and a lot of people are here who are very friendly.
Anything else you'd like to add on?
In general, I think Meep is a wonderful place with such nice staff and admins, it’s nice to see such a server as involved as Fuzzlr is.
Welcome to the Team!
Congratulate @Kling, @Midnight_Galaxy, and @Deinen on their promotions to moderator! Keep up the excellent work!

The lottery is back and better than ever!
![[IMG]](http://i.imgur.com/d7sXxy1.png)
Players can now purchase lottery tickets ingame using /lottery and have a chance at either the full pot or 30 gold ingots. At the start of the lottery there are 2000 tickets and when a player wins the jackpot the lottery restarts.

Navigating MeepCraft can be difficult, especially for newcomers. In order to simplify and make traveling more convenient between the worlds, we have removed all spawn landing points associated with the Alpha, Beta, and Wild worlds. You can now access all the worlds instantly via the spawn hub.
We had been receiving many complaints that obscene displays and town locations near the towns spawns were misleading players and preventing them from being able to choose a town. When players join Alpha or Beta, they will now be immediately teleported to a random location in the world, and given instructions via text on how to join a town. They may also revisit /warp towns to learn more information about Towns commands.
In regards to the wild, instructional material and rules are now displayed when you enter the portal. /warp wild now teleports players to a random location in the wild, and it completely replaces the functionality of /warp rp.
These new changes are designed to save you time when accessing each world. Most people do not like traveling long, useless distances in order to reach their destination. I hope that these new changes will improve the spawn's functionality, ease-of-access and completely eliminate towns spawn abuse. We are currently working on including an extended list of towns commands at spawn, and providing more efficient tutorials for players.leodavinci9000, Sqreix, Paaaauuuullll and 13 others like this. -

I love this server to bits. I'd rather lose /fly than have the whole server gone. Sure, it is sad to see beloved commands gone that helped gaming on Meep, but just look at all those cool new features and gadgets coming out! I am definite it will make up for what we lost.
It's change for the better, keep your heads up high guys, it is not the end of the world!

After more than 2 years in continuous operation, the Meepcraft Bank will be closing its doors. This mean you will no longer be able to sell gold to the bank. Understandably, this is a large change and will not take immediate effect. The bank will continue in operation for another 2 weeks before closing. Sell your gold now!

The Project - Halo Update
What is the Halo Update Project?
The Halo Update Project is an update to the Halo maps and spawn.
Who was involved in this project?
- @Oldchopper, @andrewrobins, and @alex77034 built the new spawn.
- @CluelessKlutz edited the maps and oversaw the project.
- @LordInateur implemented the new spawn and maps.
What was the purpose of this update?
A new spawn was designed and so this update centered around moving all of the portals and NPCs to make the upgrade a reality. - @LordInateur
The purpose of this update was to give halo a much needed revamp with it’s maps and spawn. - @alex77034
Halo has gone without any kind of update for more than two years. It's about time we start doing something with such an amazing minigame. - @CluelessKlutz
Which part was your favorite?
Although I don’t play halo, I think it was fun making the spawn with chopper because it was something completely different. - @alex77034
Frankly, my favorite part was Clue's unending patience regarding the amount of time it took to implement on my end. - @LordInateur
For me, it's gotta be how smoothly everything feels. All of the maps blend together, and the spawn feels like Halo. - @CluelessKlutz
Did you enjoy working on this update?
Absolutely, and I really hope everyone enjoys it. - @CluelessKlutz
There were definitely parts of this that I enjoyed. Mostly I enjoyed seeing the passion that others had working on this project. - @LordInateur
It wasn’t my favorite project to work on because of my lack of knowledge, but I enjoyed the fact that I was improving a minigame that the majority of meepers play. - @alex77034
What inspired the designs?
Before starting the project I was torn between doing a halo inspired map or a space ship. In the end, we did a space station, and I think it turned out outstanding. - @alex77034
When thinking about Halo, I was reminded of a lot of it is based around spaceships and such, so a space station seemed right to be a spawn. As for the maps, they're all inspired by actual maps from Halo. -
@CluelessKlutz
Which Halo map is your favorite?
I’ll have to think about that one for a bit. - @alex77034
Appearance-wise, I love Ragnorak, hands down. In gameplay, I have a blast playing on the sandstone map in FFA. - @CluelessKlutz
Humans Of MeepCraft - Feat. @Viperfan17
How did you find the server?
Well, I got bored of Minecraft singleplayer awhile back and wanted to try something new, so I looked up multiplayer servers and thought the name of this server was weird so I gave it a shot. I've been here ever since
What is your favorite part about the server?
Pvp of course. Halo is one of the best minigames on here I have ever seen, You'd never see something like it on a different server
1.8 or 1.9 PvP?
lol is that even a question? 1.8
What do you think of the Halo update?
It's really a step up from the original. The spawn has a much more halo-feel to it, and it could attract a lot of new players. The map updates make the arenas feel so much more alive which is what I love about them, and they also look insanely good too. It's one of the best updates Meep has had in a long time.

Storytime with the Crew - SURPRISE PARTY
4 days away, she thought. It was only 4 days until Midnight’s 19th birthday and she was so excited. Mid loved her birthday, not just for the presents, but because she got to spend time with the people she cared the most about. Every year, she would get together with all her friends and family to have a great time filled with laughter, singing, and especially cake. However, this year was different; usually people would be coming up to her and talking to her about how excited they were to celebrate her day with her, but this year there was nothing. It almost seemed like everyone had completely forgotten! ‘Oh well,’ Midnight thought, ‘I’m sure they couldn’t have forgotten…’
Everyone knew how much birthdays meant to Midnight. They knew how caring she was about others so this year, all of her friends decided to team up and throw her the biggest party ever. But this wasn’t no ordinary party, no... it was a surprise party! Midnight’s friends knew they had a big task at hand, keeping this secret was not going to be easy. Everyone in the group had their own individual jobs, spreading the word, ensuring it was kept a secret, getting the food, and much more.
“Hey, you! Make sure you come to Midnight’s surprise party in 3 days! And make sure not to let midnight know” Grevous exclaimed to a group of meepers as he was in charge of spreading the news. He repeated this to everyone he saw, always being careful that Midnight was not around. He had gone to speak to one of Midnight’s friends, Vampire, about the party. However, he didn’t notice that she was also walking over.
“Hey, Vamp, you going to make it on Saturday?” Grevous asked.
“Yea, man, of course,” Vampire responded.
Midnight had heard and was confused as to what they could be doing on her birthday, she hadn’t heard anything.
“Hey guys, whatcha talking about?” she asked, clearly confused.
Grevous panicked, frantically looking around until he noticed Flame lurking in the shadows; Flame was in charge of ensuring the party was kept top secret. Grevous looked back and forth between Midnight and Flame hoping Flame would understand there had been a slip up. He noticed Midnight was becoming even more confused.
“Flame my buddy, Midnight was just asking what we were talking about.”
Realising the situation flame jumped into action.
“Ohhh that, nothing you need to worry about, now come on guys, let’s go,” He said dragging Vampire and Grevous away from a suspicious Midnight.
‘I wonder what they have planned to do on my birthday’ Midnight said to herself.
***It was now the eve of the big party and Midnight’s birthday, and it was time to start prepping the food. Kling was in charge of that, clearly it was the best choice. He was going to ensure there were cakes on every table and double the amount of chicken needed, simply because….. Chicken.
Midnight was on one of her random walks and smelt something. Curious, she followed the scent until she saw Kling cooking,
“Oh, that smells good!” she said. Surprised, Kling lept back and dropped the chicken he was holding.
“Jeez, woman! Don’t scare me like that, look at this poor innocent chicken breast that now has to go to waste!” Kling exclaimed frowning down at his precious…… Chicken.
“What’s all the food for?” Midnight said, giggling.
Unsure of what to say, Kling looked around and spotted Flame lurking in the shadows.
“Oh ya know, just cooking because why not, aye flame?” Kling hinted.
“Oh yes, just cooking, come along now, Kling!” Flame said dragging him away.
“BUT MY CHICKEN IS COOKING!” Kling raged as he was pulled away.
Unsure of what she had just witnessed, Midnight went on her way, growing considerably more uneasy that people had forgotten.
Whilst everyone was rushing around ensuring everything was ready, Midnight was thinking about the past few days. About how all her friends had been avoiding her, no one was talking to her, they had turned and walked in the opposite direction and pretended she didn’t exist. Reality was starting to hit her, they really had forgotten.
***
It was the eve of her birthday. The air was silent, everyone had left; Midnight was alone with her thoughts. She pondered what tomorrow would bring, if they had all actually forgotten. Whilst she walked this cobble road she thought about her friends, their strange actions over the week and wondered if they had truly forgotten. Midnight was dragged out of her head after something caught on her shoe almost making her fall flat on her face.
“God, I’m so clumsy!” she muttered to herself. Little did Midnight know, this was the calm before the storm, tomorrow was going to come as a shock.
***
Everything was ready, all that was needed now was for someone to bring Midnight to the location and Ellie had set out searching for her. She found her sat on the dock looking out.
“Hey, Mid!” Ellie said, smiling.
“Heya,” Midnight replied.
“I have something I’d like you to see,” Ellie said, smiling encouragingly.
“It’s not like I have anything else to do, so sure, what is it?” Midnight asked confused.
Ellie, who had already begun walking, turned and winked at her friend.
“You’ll see.”
Ellie led the confused Midnight back the location and knocked on the door once, signalling for everyone to hide. Giving them a minute, Ellie turned to look at Midnight and smiled. Midnight smiled back, confused at what was happening. Ellie turned back towards the the door and pulled it open. Inside revealed a black room. Midnight, barely stepping into the threshold, looked back and starting to question what was going on. However, she was stopped short when Ellie proceeded to shove her inside, only slightly forcefully. The lights were turned on, momentarily blinding Midnight.
“SURPRISE!”.
Overwhelmed by the sudden noise and excitement, Midnight fell to her knees.
“You didn't forget? None of you forgot?” Ellie appeared in front of Midnight, crouched down and took Mid’s hands in hers.
“How could we forget?” Smiling, Midnight used Ellie’s hands to pull herself up and looked around the room at all of her friends. She felt blessed for the effort that they had gone to for her.
“Thank you, guys.” Midnight said, genuinely happy.
Kirby, who thought he had been patient enough, decided it was time to turn up the music.
“LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!”
THE END!
Humans Of MeepCraft - Feat. The Meeptimes Writers
What inspired your name?
I thought it’d look really cool to be a flaming demon, however my mind screwed up the spelling of the word demon and made demond, genius I know. And so flamedemond1 was born! I then also managed to screw up the confirmation email associated with that name, so I restarted and made flamedemond2. - flamedemond2
Originally, my name was kcschmidt. No, that is not my name, or has to do with it. It was more or less random pounding on the keyboard by my younger brother, because we shared the account when it was first purchased in 2012. I had played the server for a few months, and decided to try parkour. I tried completing Flower. Within three days, I had changed my name to this. - CluelessKlutz
My name actually took me a while to come up with, i wanted something unique but yet reflected my personality as well. It’s different and that’s me in a nutshell, i like to strive to be different and unique. When i chose my name i wanted to combine some of my favourite things, Night time and the solar system, hence how i came up with Midnight_Galaxy and yes it isn’t the most feminine but it’s me. - Midnight_Galaxy
It's my name twice. - EllieEllie
When I first made my minecraft account, I hadn’t thought about a name at all, so when my father asked me what name I would like to have, I was caught really off guard. So, I just went through the names of characters in books I had recently read - but, of course, my favourite ones were already taken. I kept looking and eventually found a name that no one else had tried to make theirs yet - Cherrykit. Although she is only a side character in the Warriors series, the name stuck and even after going through other names, I always came back to it. - Cherrykit
My name is Kieran Ling so since Kling was taken I jotted the o. ~Kling
What was your favorite edition of the Meeptimes released?
My favourite Issue of The times, it’s a major cross between the 20th and the previous edition, the 29th. What i liked about the 20th was because i really enjoyed coming up with the special feature ideas that we included. However, i really enjoyed working alongside @Flamedemond2 writing the story for the previous edition. -Midnight
I don't really have a favourite edition, I see the work that has been put into every one I've been a part of and it makes me so proud to be involved. If I had to choose though, probably 29. Interviewing Martha was lovely and I enjoyed reading the story when it was done. - Ellie
Being part of only 1 previous Meeptimes, I’d have to say #29 was my favourite. I had a lot of fun working with @Midnight_Galaxy when it came to writing the story. One of the only times where writing was actually fun, and it’s thanks to her. - flame
Honestly, I love writing portions of every edition. It’s a nice little way to spend an evening in bed writing. Not an easy question to answer, honestly. One that I always go back to as a good memory was the process during the writing of #23, because we had originally decided not to do one that time. Then, on Thursday, it was decided to try and put one together, so that mad dash to write it sticks out to me still. - CK
I enjoy writing generally, but especially stories, which is why I would say that the 20th edition was my favourite - I had a lot of fun coming up and writing a story for that edition, especially since I usually write stories that are a lot longer. However, I also had lots of fun putting together the 7th edition, which was released on April 1st last year. - Cherrykit
All of the editions that include myself. ~Kling
What is it like as staff in general?
Most days are just plain fun, because you know you’re trying your hardest to do something. When you’ve been doing it for a while, things become second nature, and it’s comfortable to handle things. Most days are pretty tame, but every so often you need to deal with someone. I don’t know anything that it can really be compared to. Still, in the good days and the bad, it is both a pleasure and an honor to have the opportunity to serve. - CK
Oh gosh, I love being staff because you get to help such an amazing group people and really become immersed in the community. Some days are hard but the majority of the job is fun. Being staff is a rewarding experience because you get to see your ideas come to life, and have everyone love them (hopefully). Being staff is like being a part of a family we all look out for eachother. I have been staff for almost a good year, and i have seen the team grow and mold into such a awesome group of people who truly love the server and making it such a amazing place. I wouldn’t change it for the world, i love it. -MG
For me, I still consider myself as being quite new to the staff team and Meepcraft in general, although it is coming up to my 1 year anniversary of playing. I love meeting new people and also getting to know everyone; when we help people, it's a range of answering questions for the newer players but also people that have been playing for quite a while (the latter is less often, admittedly). For me, this is a perfect time to welcome new players and get them settled, but also get to know people I might not have spoken to much before. I know that I have the capacity to help more than I did before and I've learned so much about the server in the process. It's been a really fun experience in general, I love every single day so it's hard to describe it in an overall way. I just think every day is unique and I'm glad to be a part of it. - Ellie
What being staff is like, for me at least, is finding ways to make a positive contribution to the server. It’s an amazing feeling to know you’ve helped someone just for the sake of helping them, with no personal gain. Because of the many different aspects of the server, it takes a high understanding of things to know how to properly help someone. It’s rewarding to see the almost 5 years of experience I have with the server, play a factor in how I help others. - flame
Being staff has been quite an experience for me - especially since I never really wanted to be on the staff team until a year ago, when I first became helper. Even though I wasn’t on the staff team for long then, I really just enjoyed being able to assist people and do something for the server. During my time as moderator, I learned a lot about handling people and working as a part of a team in general. Now, I am thrilled to be able to be a part of the team again, even though I have a very different job now. While I do miss my work as a moderator, I greatly enjoy being able to make new features for the server and especially practicing my coding and making plugins that will be useful and used on a server. I haven’t been back on the team for long, but I hope to continue my work for the server and become a part of the staff team again. - Cherrykit
A walk in the park, It’s all about having a good time and not swinging your ban hammer like a madman. ~Kling
What is your favorite memory on the server?
It's so hard to choose; initially, seeing the way Legend has expanded from 30-50 people into 400 residents. When I joined the town, everyone was building a house and we had this exciting new place to call our own and build up from scratch. Seeing it grow into what it is today, through our hard work and effort that we’ve put in, is incredible. This memory is probably a tie with the actual server reset in January. Seeing everyone come together and older players coming back to the server has been lovely to be a part of. The reset itself was my final prompt into applying for staff, I wanted to help people in this new era of Meep and also explore where we could take it as a part of the staff team. - Ellie
This server has given me so many memories that picking just one would be unfair. I have made so many friends from all over the world, i have had the opportunity to be apart of a community of people who are so kind and unique and if it wasn’t for this server i would not have had that chance. I am such a quiet natured person but being a part of this server has really pushed me to open up and be a better version of myself. So my favourite memory is the community in general because that is something i will never forget, i will never forget how everyone is so welcoming and so open to be friends with everyone. -MG
You know, I’ve had so many good times on the server. I’ve only been here for a little over a year now, and so much as changed. Together, we’ve gone through the Eula debacle, the addition of Gamma, forced reset in January, created all new towns, released new minigames, changed to Discord, added countless plugins, fixed hundreds of bugs, written new chapters of the server’s story, two new Creative worlds, three different spawns, updates to 1.9, 1.10, and 1.11, revival of dozens of projects like the social media, so many events in the community, and thousands of hours put into the projects. It seems so short of a time compared to those who have been around longer, but I cannot imagine a day without logging on. One of my personal favorites was the time I logged on one day back in August. I’ll never forget just how many people lit up by just me saying a simple, “Hey.” It floors me to think how little old me could make a difference for so many with a single word on a computer screen. - CK
Oh boy, looking back just about 5 years, I’ve definitely had some amazing moments with meep. Picking one moment out of so many is so difficult, but I would have to say my favourite was back in 2012. I had just joined a new town, TheEditson’s town for anyone who might still remember him, and I became really good friends with his brother TurnerPaps. Together, we built a massive grinder, which at the time was the biggest on the server. I stayed up many nights grinding away at the grinder…. - flame
Looking back, I probably made the most friends and had the most fun while pvping. Until I took a break from meep after my time as moderator, I spent almost my whole time on the server in kitpvp. There, I spent hours just having fun and getting to know the other players. Really, I only stayed on the server because of the many friends I made along the way which have made this server truly unique to me. I wouldn’t want to choose one memory, it was the fact that I could log onto the server and always have someone to talk to and have fun with that made me stay on here until today. - Cherrykit
There are a few fond memories. One being the Aussie timezone, it could have been disastrous having me be part of the chaotic bunch and it was absolutely beaut! Before I joined Teamspeak I thought it was going to be full of screaming young teens but when I joined there were a lot of players that were decent and we had some great times. Being there for others is another one, Meep has a lot of people that play to get away from real life problems and it is always great to make your time on Meep more enjoyable. My demotion was also a ripper, bloody hell I had enough salt to match the dead sea but it was great seeing my mate having a go and being told they’ll be kicked/banned because they wouldn’t shut their yaps. Cheers for the support, we bounced back. ~Kling
Anything else you’d like to add?
Thank you, everyone, for making the server an amazing community to be a part of and to the staff team for giving me a chance to make all the above possible. Eggooo. - Ellie
Everyone on this server is amazing, you have all touched me, and I am so grateful to have the chance to be a member of this amazing staff team, and hope to continue on and grow. You’re amazing! -Midnight
I have never, and I mean never, experienced anything like the time I’ve gotten to spend with everyone is something I will never forget as long as I live. It reaches deep into me. Life has its ups and downs, but I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of something so much bigger than just me, which has always been there when I’m struggling with something. Thank you, and have fun! - Clueless
Thank you to everyone on the server for giving me a place I can go to and just talk to people, something I could always count on being there for me when times were rough. I would also like to thank everyone who has helped me and talked to me when I was feeling sad or depressed, all of you have helped me find out who I truly am and made me feel happier due to that. - Cherrykit
I will be here until the staff team get sick of me. Get on discord and have a chat even if you are shy she’ll be right, you may eventually get the confidence to talk. If anything I probably will be in a group that are listening to me being a dag so join in and have some banter. Cheers to everyone who has been a part of the server while I’ve been playing, let’s continue to have a beaut time. ~Kling
Welcomes and Farewells
We would like to take a moment to wish @MegaStufOreo and @MoonlitMadness the best of luck and thank them for all their hard work on the server.
