Hey all,

A lot has happened over the past two days, enough to warrant an update so I think I'll just jump straight into it.

Beta Testers
Suggested by @mindblaster007 , We have decided to build a team of beta testers consisting of around 8 to 10 players from different groups of the server. The main role of this team is to spot issues that the staff won't be able to spot whilst trying out new updates and gamemodes. This means spotting bugs, finding out whether things need to be nerfed or buffed, suggesting ideas, etc.

We're looking for a bit of everything so we'd like OG's, roleplayers, new players, etc. Basically, we're looking for variety so that when we finalise the update, people of most groups are happy with the result. Applications will include more details and will be released soon next to the builder and helper applications so be on the lookout for that.

Hey guys,

So I guess it's time to break the news, I am the new community manager for the server. Now I know that I’m probably not peoples first choice for this role, and I haven't had the cleanest of pasts but I want to assure you that I will be a lot responsible and mature in this role. In the past I have had issues with people and if you’re one of those people I want you to know that I’m not going to let that get in the way of my role. I will not be biased. If we have had issues I want you to know that on my side it's water over the bridge and if you want to discuss past issues please message me on discord.

Last time we had a community manager not much was changed in the server. This won't be the case this time. I have lots of ideas on how to improve the communication between you the players and the owners and overall to improve the server. Here are just a few ideas I have thought of.

• The return of regular updates which will combine with the...

We are incredibly excited to release our latest update to The Mining Dead, introducing Seasons! Seasons offer players a fun and exciting way to compete with others to place at the top of the leaderboards and earn awesome prizes!

• Killing a Player: 100 Score
  • Each piece of Leather Armor being worn by the killed player will add 25 Score
    
  • Each piece of Military Armor being worn by the killed player will add 50 Score
    
  • Each piece of Riot Gear Armor being worn by the killed player will add 75 Score
