Dear Penguins,

This last week, me daddy polarbear was pretty inactive, which I first of all want to apologise for.
I was basically busy with another project, which will be good for some time rn, and got a little addictive to a game.

But now I'm back, and I want to say the kitmap bugs have been fixed and we're planning on a new map reset + updates soon which I want your guys' opinion on, if we should do a map reset again on kitmap soon and what kind of map.

An important thing is some rules will be changed, we will now change 2 rules:
All rules related to hacking etc, will be made an ipban instead of a normal ban. Which means for hacking you'll get an ipban of 30 days, for admitting an ipban for 10 days. And ofcourse for finding hacks in SS a perm ipban.

And finally after a long wait I'm introducing the return of OPSkyBlock, this has been said before but I'm just putting it here for the people who haven't seen it. The release will be saturday, more info on this soon.

Sorry for the low detailed thread, but I'm pretty sure most of you all don't like reading a whole page anyways .

Yours,

Nick

Dear Community,

I have some exciting news, after some testing in KitMap we've finally found ourselves a new core which can be used with practice/kitmap's knockback and mechanics.

EDIT 2: We're doing rewards for the top 3 f balances on HCF! We've added /f top!
Changes:
- I'm 99% sure autobrewers, and farms etc will be solved.
- If there are bugs, we can actually get them fixed (Except /f kick for offline members, that's just because we're a cracked network )
- Fixed pearls
- HitDetection / Knockback from practice/kitmap.
- Fixed most bugs from the HCF core itself, we had on last map.

@Nick and I were taking in a conversation, as, I've more than 1,000 dollars in my account, I was thinking to do a 120EU+ worth of rank's giveaway. This will help the server at some point. Nick will spend this money to perfect the server, which will be good for the server growth and the players/community.. For example: Anti-Cheat.

I and Nick will be hosting this giveaway, here is what's going on.

Give us proof that you've subscribed to these channels above.

First of all I hope all of you had a great christmas time,

Factions removal
After this revamp, not even 50 players came just to look at SOTW so we decided it's not worth having it / updating it anymore. We will remove it from our network, OPFactions will have one last shot (Which we make sure runs lag-free at sotw by rendering world, we didn't do this at factions sorry).

Donators have 1 month to make a ticket saying the amount they donated on factions (So not the rank, but the actual amount you donated on factions) and some proof they did that, like your paypal email + ingame rank obviously

HCFactions + OPSkyBlock delay!
Now I have some bad news, first of all kinda out of nowhere, I can't be home today at HCF SOTW release time, so that means I have to post-pone it to tomorrow, and OPSkyBlock release will be postponed a bit later this week, no date has been set yet. I'm sorry!

Practice ELO Race
We're currently hosting an elo race which means the first 3 places on the global elo leaderboards will receive rewards when it ends. We will do way more of these, probably different gamemodes, like a soup elo race. But this one will just be global elo and it will end at the 7th of january 2018.

First of all I hope you all have a wonderful christmas, now I'm kinda sad as I've made no profit this month. (Just putting it there for all the actual donators how thankful I am). So I've decided to do the following.

Give Away:
I'll do a christmas giveaway, only for the real donators (15euros+ donated). Because these are the people keeping the network alive + making updates possible. Sorry for all the non-donators but I feel like this is only fair.

Rewards:
- 1x 75 Euro coupon
- 2x 37,50 Euro coupon
- 4x 15 Euro coupon
(These will not include sales, so you can buy things only from the original price)

Enter by commenting your ign, when I will announce the winners I will pm you as the previous time, but I will ask for payment proof so don't comment your ign if you want to be funny when you didn't donate.

(You must have a minimum of 15 euros donated, this means 15euros without sale, if you bought a 30 euro rank with 15 euros it's fine, if you bought a 20 euro rank with 10 euros I won't accept it.)

Punishment Reset:
We'll be doing a punishment-reset, only the people we don't think will turn good on our network won't be unbanned. Some blacklisted people will be unbanned tho. I hope you all are fine with this, I am constantly trying to achieve a good anticheat but it's hard to find a perfect one which doesn't false-flag and all that shit.

Don't forget to read the update thread!

I hope you all have a wonderful christmas, thanks for supporting us

Dear community,

I hope you all are enjoying december so far, I have some exciting updates for you all:

Factions:
Tomorrow we'll be releasing our factions 2.0 release, this will include loads of bug fixes, new features, optimized performance and way more which is all stated in asodey's thread: CLICK HERE
For the countdown: CLICK HERE
A big thanks to @Asodey for making this all happen.

HCFactions:
After a long time (Sorry didn't really look at hcf) we'll be doing our long-awaited EOTW. This will happen this sunday and we will do the SOTW at Friday the 29th. We'll have a christmas themed map this time , and new koth's possibly new features and I guess this time I'll do a conquest event. If you have suggestions for this map please let me no, and don't be like add a whole new event because that's pretty hard to do.

OPSkyBlock:
After this skyblock test, I think it's better if we bring back OPSkyBlock as I feel like our players like OP stuff a lot haha, it blows me away there are still sometimes 10 people on opfactions after like a lot of months of uptime. Anyways this will have the features from 3.0, which was a map where we had a lot of players on (I don't have 2.0 anymore ) @Rezar will give me a lot of features to add so thanks to him for that, and now I've gained a lot of experience I'm pretty sure we can make it lag free (not sure about hoppers tho for that).
I believe if we put hard work in to this we can get a lot of players on it, and make it like the old days where we had 60 players on it while we had a smaller playerbase then currently, so I'm really strafing to get the 60 players back on there
This release will probably take place on the 30th, this isn't 100% confirmed yet.

Practice:
From the start...

After a lot of blood, sweat & tears we finally are announcing the official release of Factions 2.0.
We experienced a decent amount of bugs and problems during the development, however, i think it was worth it all
This season will be more into pot-pvp style.

CLICK HERE FOR THE COUNTDOWN

NOTE: TNT Will be enabled in 5 days (After the sotw)
NOTE2: Withers are disabled this season.

Heres some features:

Dear ColdNetwork community,

Hey guys I have a few updates to tell you guys:

* First of all I hope all of your decembers are going well, I will be doing some giveaways throughout december so stay tuned for that!

* We'll be doing one more factions season of our own, after that we'll spend the full time while our factions is live on working on our big release with wartic! Our own release will be just as awesome but with a few things less then the big release. We're fully revamping it anyways so it will be fun!

* Now about staff applications, I've put back the cooldown time to 1 month because @ByeTon and me decided to let all head-staff vote on applications every saturday. This also means we will handle the applications more strictly.

Yours,

Nick
