1.8 Server Showcase

For those that missed the Facebook post, the showcase video for the 1.8 map is finally here! 20 awesome builders are featured in this one, with 1 more video to come hopefully some time this year. For those who applied to be in this video and sadly didn’t make it in, don’t worry there’s always the next one! If you think your build will look awesome in the next video, be sure to /mail send Austy in game who will be happy to consider it. Enjoy!

New map on Friday! (…or sooner?!)

Hi guys!

The new map is here! It’s finally a real thing! We’ve been working hard to do the backend work required to get things going on the 1.8 map. It’s pretty exciting, and we’re going to be able to let people on this Friday evening! It’ll be happening at 6:30 AEST. Wooo! (That’s Brisbane time, by the way. NSW/Vic will be 7:30PM, SA is 7:00PM. I have no idea what kind of wacky time it will be in WA.).

Also, all you cool kids that have been donating to us all through the temp map period get an extra bonus: You can jump on the server and take a look around on Thursday night. I’ll be opening up the server to DONATORS ONLY at about 6:30PM AEST, and letting you play until 10:30PM AEST, Thursday night.

Thanks for playing on MCAU.

<3 hug.

Test server for 1.8

Hey guys!

There’s a test server up for 1.8, it’s got no plugins (because they’re not available yet!) but it’s up and ready to go. If you want to log in and have a play, feel free, just remember that there’s no regions or anything, so you’ll probably get griefed. We’ll ban people who suck, but we’re not able to do too much else.

Check it out by connecting to TEMP.MCAU.ORG

Cheers!

Buildcomp: Winner Announcement.

Hey guys, thanks to everyone who participated! It’s time to announce a winner of the build comp, whose building goes to spawn. The runner uppers get a sneak peak of the spawn build, and everyone who participated is winning a small prize as a token of our appreciation for joining in. (You’ll see that prize later, guys!)

Without further ado, the winning build was by…

FUPERY!

The runners up are htaliffy, Iyssden, _Zandros.

Winners were judged mostly on how well they fit in with the look of spawn as described by the hints, and a lot of you did such good jobs it was hard to decide on the runner-up winners.

Thanks again to everyone who joined in!

<3 hug.
