Ellador Release Date Announced

After months of work from all the people in the MassiveCraft Team, and players working on Bo2’s, we have finally been able to finish the world of Ellador and announce a release date and time. We chose to release Ellador tomorrow (at date of writing) September 12th. The exact time of release will be 21:00 GMT, a widget showing how much time is left untill the release can be seen on the right side of the website.

An hour before the release of the world, we will post another roleplay post detailing the first settlement of Ellador, after which we will open the teleport from Silverwind to Ellador. The main spawn island where people will arrive is fully claimed and protected. If you plan to make a settlement in Ellador, it is suggested you take a couple of boats with you since you will need to cross the seas. The poll taken a couple of days back proved people supported a blimp system. We will implement the blimp system some time after the actual release of Ellador, but we have marked the locations of the blimp stations on the map. You can see them as SEBlimp, NBlimp or SWBlimp (light blue areas on the map). The 16 chunk rule still applies to these areas, so don’t settle too close to the blimp zones.

We hope to see you all have alot of fun, create new stuff, fight new wars and come up with new cool roleplay for the new world.

See you in Ellador!

The MassiveCraft Team

What timezone you wrote gmt. But if from what country. Bc i live in denmark (same timezone as sweden) normally do we have gmt +1 but bc of summer time do we have gmt +2. So i want know 21:op from what country

Madus – GMT 21:00 is GMT 0.

That would mean, that it’s 21 GMT +1 in Denmark = 22:00 danish time.

Just look at the widget in the sidebar to the right. There is an “ELLADOR RELEASE”-countdown widget.

Why…. I think that the server event planners hate everyone with an Australian timezone. :(
igel_son 2012-09-12 at 10:29

Since half the team is European and the other half is American it’s quite hard to plan Australian events…

Cool. I won’t miss it. Unless my internet keeps being… well, shit.

I can’t wait… but isn’t claiming the entire mini-contident in the center kinda overkill? :)

I *may* have the time to actually do something when it comes out (aka, I will probably make time). Dibs on a random spot that I can make a shop on >:P

  Because you can’t be there? Seems rather selfish.
