Game
Happy Holidays from the Game Department! We had a light week this week, but we welcomed a new aspirant to the team, AzureShoyru! We have become aware of an issue involving mobs not spawning properly or sometimes disappearing when they should not be. We are still attempting to discover the cause. Keep your eye out for a post coming out later today regarding an update to alternate-account usage. Keep your other eye out for a surprise this week! 35 player tickets, mythic mob creation, numerous help chats, world cleanup and restoration, and naughty player investigations were completed. We hosted Parkour and Jumping events events this week! You can vote on which events we host next week here: https://www.massivecraft.com/discord-factions
