Altitude Opening This Thursday

Altitude Opening This Thursday

Hey everyone, it is finally time to announce our opening date. After a lot of work to improve the server and the staff team, we’re at a point where we can open the server. It’s been almost 6 months since we shut down, and we know it hasn’t been an easy wait. We really appreciate all of you being patient with us and we cannot wait to start playing with you again!

We will be opening on Thursday, February 24, 2022 7:00 PM UTC. This is a slightly weird date but we can only open on Thursdays and Sundays due to my availability. We’d rather have a slightly slow opening day but give you guys the whole weekend to play than opening on a Sunday.

Additionally, we are reopening most of the Discord Channels as of this announcement. This includes off-topic, d-general, help, etc. suggestions, marketplace, and bidding are the exception to this, and will be available once the server is open. Since the other channels are open again our rules for them are back to normal. This means basically all the conversation that has been happening in general should now go in off-topic again.

After about a month of uptime, we plan to open staff applications. This will give head staff a chance to familiarize themselves with the community so that we’re able to make accurate judgments on our applications to meet the needs of our new servers. As many of you know, we’ve spent hours rehauling our training and improving our team culture, and we are excited for the next generation of Altitude moderators to join us in the near future!

The Alpha rank is no longer available to purchase. Anyone who has bought the Alpha rank will keep it, this includes the in-game prefix! Everyone who bought Alpha will have access to an exclusive Alpha particle as a thank you. There will be more particles released on the donation store for anyone to buy shortly after release. Once the server opens up, the Alpha rank will not be displayed as prominently on Discord because there will no longer be active alpha testing happening. We will also be closing the entire alpha section of the Discord, this section will only be open when alpha testing is happening. Thank you to everyone who participated in our Alpha testing, you helped us tremendously and we really appreciate you taking the time to help us test. The alpha server will be open throughout this week to continue testing, but it will be officially closed after Wednesday to give us time to open the server.

There will be another announcement when we open which will everyone as well.

TDLR: We’re opening on Thursday, February 24, 2022 7:00 PM UTC!

Update: I forgot to mention, but spawns won’t be fully finished yet. Please give our spawn builders some extra time to finish the small details while you guys enjoy the server. This will give us the opportunity to incorporate community feedback that we get on the spawn design!

Please do not fly far out so we do not miss any builds. Please don’t copy others’ builds or online content, if you are found doing this then you will be disqualified, and you should follow all normal creative rules.

There will be prizes for decent attempts and the winners, who will be given their prizes after the event concludes. Note: If you want you can work together but only the plot owner will get recognition for it (they would be the one winning if that plot won).

Capture the Flag PvP Event Re-Run

Capture the Flag PvP Event Re-Run

Hello everyone! It’s been a long time coming but we’ve finally fixed up the capture the flag event and will be running it on Saturday, July 11th at 8pm UTC. Players will be split into 4 teams and siege opponents’ castles, all set within a mythical forest with jumbo bugs and super-sized vegetation. You’ll be able to battle using by a variety of custom classes so there’ll be a strategy for everyone to play to.

We apologize for the wait, but finding a solution that allowed everyone to play the event with minimal lag took us a bit. However, we think that the wait will be worth it and everyone will enjoy the event.

In order to minimize the lag, we will be hosting the event with each “round” being repeated twice. Don’t worry if you can’t get in the first round. Those in the event lobby who didn’t get in will be guaranteed a spot in the next game as long as they remain in the event lobby. For those that played in the first round, you will be given a chance to play in the second round but it will be random based on those who get through the portal the fastest. Please note that you cannot win duplicate prizes for the same round pairing.

The lobby has a few different options to keep you occupied during your downtime, and we’ll keep you updated whilst the game progresses. We thank you for your patience whilst we set this new system up!
