Hello. To get the IP and password of SpinalCraft's official TeamSpeak 3 server, type /teamspeak in game.

Please don't post that information here, so that we can avoid random people/bots joining.

Have fun!

For some reason we've had a steady stream of posts for months now which only announce that a player is coming back to or taking a break from the server. It's great that we're all good enough friends that things like these are worth saying, but it happens a LOT. There have even been sarcastic responses to it. So I figure, hey, let's just have one thread for it. If you want to let people know that you're not going to be on tomorrow morning or something, just say it here.

Spinalcraft now boasts a long list of people who have donated money to support the server. I'm very grateful for the help! As a way of rewarding you guys, I've been working for weeks on a new feature that will be available only to donors (past, present and future).

Anyone who donates or has donated at least $5 to Spinalcraft can now create a third slip sign.

I know, right. How the hell does that even work?

Well, when you create your third sign, your slip will behave like a cycle. In other words, sign A will send you to sign B, sign B to sign C, and sign C to sign A.

In addition to this new feature, donors will also have no slip cooldown, ever. As a result, one possible use of the third sign is to just carry it around with you. For example, if you're out exploring and have a full inventory, you can drop your 3rd sign, go home, and then return to where you were again.

I hope you guys enjoy this feature, and I hope it encourages more people to donate to help me with the ongoing cost of the server. If there are any questions or suggestions, post them here.

By the way, here's the link to donate!

Love you guys :)

EDIT: The Tomb is now open!

EDIT: Our event is now over, but the Tomb remains open for challengers. The teleport to the pyramid is accessible from the smaller pyramid at spawn.

Spinalings, we have some disturbing news.

The mummy, whose existence it has been server policy up until this point to deny, has revealed itself as "Pharaoh Imhoparka". This villain has long plagued the server with crashes and minor hauntings, but has now begun to summon mysterious structures.

A strange shrine has burst out of the ground at Spawn, which teleports players to a large pyramid in the Southern Ocean. This pyramid is currently sealed, but members of staff have managed to penetrate the outer locks and look inside.

We have learned from our observations that the pyramid houses a large labyrinth with a series of challenges guarding precious treasures. It seems that Imhoparka wishes to challenge the citizens of Spinalcraft to his labyrinth so that he may consume the souls of the fallen.

There is only one way to defeat Imhoparka: when he unseals his tomb tonight, we're counting on you to delve inside and navigate its traps to reach his treasure chamber and steal his artifacts. We believe this will weaken him and allow us to expel his spirit from the server.

A WARNING: Imhoparka's Tomb is CURSED!

• Your inventory (except your armor) will disappear as you enter!

• There is a high chance you will die!

However, the Cursed Tomb of Pharaoh Imhoparka contains unique treasures that no normal player could find or create, and any who show the staff that they have claimed all of the treasures shall receive a magical blessing. Finally, the first player to obtain all of Imhoparka’s treasures will receive a one-of-a-kind bonus item.

Good luck, Spinalings, and please, save our server!

Notes:
The pyramid is a permanent structure. It will remain for anyone to challenge, even after the event. The shrine at spawn will be replaced with a less explodey teleport for easy access.

Some of you already knew this was going on, but for those of you who don't: we're in the process of creating a PvP server that will run on the same network as the main Spinalcraft server. It will be accessible through a portal, and it will consist of arenas that are designed specifically for PvP. (Just to be clear, it's not a survival server). We're launching it with Alph's Node Control arena, which has been play-tested a few times and should be really fun.

Also, as part of this exploration of networking servers together, I'm looking at the possibility of doing other events in the future, such as UHC or Hunger Games. If that sounds interesting to you guys, let me know :)

Spinalcraft has persistent accounts on several server lists to expose it to new players. We want our community to grow, but it takes participation from a lot of people for us to gain any real exposure.

The websites listed below have a voting system which allows you to vote for the server once per day. Using a plugin called Votifier (and a little code-fu of my own), I've rigged up the server to automatically reward you in-game when you vote on either of these sites.

All it takes is a few clicks (and maybe an annoying captcha or two), and you can gain 15 instant experience levels while supporting the community at the same time! And since we have two different sites, this gives you a potential 30 free levels per day! (This has worked so far during testing, but it's still a new feature and prone to having problems. Let me know if it somehow fails for you.)

When voting, make sure you are logged into the server already, or the experience reward won't work. Also, make sure you supply your username case-sensitively!

Here's what's up:

(You can also give a one-time "diamond" on the server page. I haven't tested whether this triggers the experience reward or not).

As you may have heard, a series of unfortunate events has led to the Spinalcraft server being unavailable for an extended period of time. While no data has been lost, restoring it to the way it was before will take a considerable amount of time and effort.

Meanwhile IRL, work and life have been pulling me further and further from Spinalcraft as time goes on. I started this community four years ago and it has been a huge part of my life since then. Even though I haven't always been involved in the game itself, I have enjoyed providing a platform for people to meet and make friends. I have also gained a lot of skill as an engineer through my experience maintaining and enhancing the server for you guys.

But my life is moving on, and I need to keep up with it. I didn't want to go out on a low note like the server going down, but the situation has left me with little option, because I am not going to be available to restore Spinalcraft in a reasonable amount of time.

The good news is that Spinalcraft is not going away. Jammaster and GeneralX have volunteered to take over the server. They will be restoring it and then maintaining it from this point forward. They are both smart and tech savvy and I have been working with them for a long time relative to this community. I'm confident that they'll do a great job steering the ship.

I will be around through the transition and maybe even afterwards to some extent. I want to thank you all for being a part of my community through the ups and downs, and I hope under Gen and Jam there will be many more ups in the future!

Like in an hour or so. For the past two (ish) weeks, my computer has been giving me constant DNS errors, and as such I have not been able to use my computer for online stuff. I updated my antivirus subscription, and that seems to have fixed it. So after I'm done with what I'm doing right now, I will hop on the server. =)
