This week we have more on:
As part of the Open Beta, we received our player’s feedback. It seemed a majority of players had a specific interest in Northern Folk. Taking this into account, we are developing the initial launch of the server to be based in The North. Players will still be able to play the characters of any origin while in the North. As our playerbase grows we plan to expand further into the realms of Esna. The initial release of the North will see an abundance of interactive dynamic events, NPC interactions, intense roleplay and regular tasks to keep players busy and engaged.

Bugfixes
When we introduced the new quest system last week, we ran into a few bugs. We have been working to solve these issues as we can. Things like extra books or no books spawning are being looked into and have taken a significant amount of our time and effort. We also have introduced other plugins that have had some minor issues. We want the experience of the release to be the best possible for our players.
Systems
We are currently polishing all our official systems so we can have them ready for release, when the server opens a new more relaxed version of the ‘Intrigue System’ will be ready for players to enjoy! ‘Settlements’ and ‘War and Combat’ will come quickly after!
Bandit Camps
We have put work into several campgrounds for players to look into and clear out as the server operates. The goal is to create dynamic events that the players can encounter on their own. To this end, these camps are being populated with NPC bandits to challenge players looking to expand and build upon the ruins of the North!
General Construction
We have also been working on general construction around the play area. This involves changing terrain to look better. Things such as trees and mountain-sides have been improved upon from their original designs. Other work such as general buildings and ruins to explore has also been begun. We are looking forward to the release when you will all be able to explore for yourselves!
Staff Involvement
We are looking to have an ever-involved staff that increasingly assists us in getting the server to a point of release. To that end one of the changes we have implemented is a weekly meeting between staff and the administrators. This will help us align our goals and achieve an active server that is able to suit the players.
Planet Minecraft
We have updated our planet minecraft posting and want your help to keep it at the top! Your votes can help other people see our server and grow our community and staff to better cater to roleplay and storied experiences. This can also result in positive feedback that can help with constructive expansion of server systems. We thank you all for the support!
