Hey everyone! We're introducing Individual challenges to the server!
Individual challenges are going to be goal oriented challenges that you can undertake whenever you like that will focus on bettering you as a player, introducing new content, or helpful milestones that you may not realize exist. Hopefully they are fun, and also informative.
There are also prizes that you can win for completing the different tiers within the challenge! At any time you can announce that you believe you have completed a certain tier level and then, at the next available opportunity, the rest of us will swing on by to check out your progress and do a friendly reality TV style judging of your work and then shower you with prizes... or something like that...
It will be fun, I promise!
The first challenge should line up well with your status if new to the server... Homesteading!
Your mission is to claim a plot of land outside the Spawn Village and a build yourself a home that provides shelter and some sort of sustainable food. This could be anything from a dirt hut next to farmland to a cabin or large farmhouse or mansion.
Eventually your homestead will produce some sort of item or resource in abundance such that other players will swing by your place to gather what they need (and re-set things so that there's more for the next person)…
