What are your thoughts on the new spawn? In one word:
“Futuristic. I like it because it’s big, but everything is right next to you...first PVP arena that I don’t constantly lag out.”

How do you feel about Halo coming back?
“Looking forward to it. It’s fun. Original. Upholds player count. Usually has lots of players so it’s always good to play.”

What’s your favorite part of Meepcraft?
“It’s a combination of being here for a long time, knowing a lot of people, it being a well moderated towny server, and not barren; there’s active players and an overall unique experience.”


Welcome to the Team!
Congratulations @DeerlandingXD and @HollyLeaf for being admitted into the Architect trials! We look forward to working with you.
Welcome back @Candy_Master to the team! We missed you!!

Oh, this is awesome! looking forward to this. Thanks for doing this <3

 

Wow this is awesome!

 

I thought this was a great idea!
What I especially loved was the "Get Involved with the Meepcraft times" part; it really added an interactive experience for players such as myself. All I would really like is to expand a bit, besides just submitting a photo.
Otherwise, it's fabulous!

 

Yeah we'll see about adding more interactive roles in the future, do you have any particular suggestions? :3

ffs

 

Seeing that memories video, the start reminded me of the old spawn (2013-2014). Nice one!

 

I highly recommend to bring back the original wild (biome at least), the current wild's biomes are all messed up, and too many unnecessary stuff: giant trees, weird lava fountain, strange pool... Some biome became extremely rare: ocean, deep ocean, all snowy biome (including ice spike)and jungle.

I don't really see why you guys like the current wild, but it causes lags(no lags before).

 

Is there any job openings, this seems so cool.
