Changes to server access
Hello! WolvHaven has always enjoyed the continued support of all of our members and we are very appreciative of that. However, the time has come WolvHaven to start to find new sources of income in order to stay online. As a result, we, therefore, regret to announce that we will be charging a recurring fee for access to WolvHaven. All money collected from the fees will go directly to keeping our server online and further perks will be given to paying members. Apart from that, we will also be announcing a brand new rank system but more on that later. Let's get on with what most of you are wondering; what are the fees? Fees and details Standard Access Local WolvHavener US$6.99 for 1 month That's US$6.99 a month! US$13.37 for…
New Elevator Plugin
Introducing the new Elevator Plugin! Hello WolvHaveners! When we upgraded to Minecraft 1.12.1, we included an advisory for members to refrain from using EasyElevator as the plugin was not updated in a long time and could stop working after a certain point of time. We also expressed our interest in finding a potential replacement plugin and we have recently stumbled upon a promising plugin suggestion, sent by telegram from our friends over at Epsilon. What's going to happen to EasyElevator? Before anyone freaks out, we just want to assure you that EasyElevator won't be going anywhere - at least till it stops working. EasyElevator will continue to coexist with the new Elevator plugin if the trial for Elevator passes. How do I go about installing these swaggy new elevators? Create…
Let’s Talk: Backseat Moderating
1 January 2018 - Let's Talk: Backseat Moderation WolvHaven has been running for over 6 years and has seen many people come and go. However, in recent years, a new phenomenon has landed on our shores and has remained etched in our community - backseat moderating. Backseat Disruptive & Substandard Moderating (BDSM/Backseat Moderating) and how it hurts the server Let's all admit it. Some WolvHaveners have a serious problem. It's called Backseat Disruptive & Substandard Moderation. In this post, we will discuss what backseat moderating is, why you should not participate in it and the implications it may have on you if you do participate. What is backseat moderating? Why is backseat moderating so bad? Examples of backseat moderation Implications for engaging in backseat moderation What do I do when…
Second claims for Gardellians
From 2 January 2018, all Gardellians will be entitled to having a second claim. To Summarize: You must have an existing claim that is over 250m in radius from the city centre You can only have 1 mainline station claim, but are allowed to have 2 that are out of reach of the gardellia station claim Be considerate - make your second claims architecturally different; not make carbon copies of cities Remember to follow the Gardellia claiming rules
Changes to verbal warnings 2018
Let's start 2018 by setting things right. With effect from 1 January 2018, some changes will be made to verbal warnings for veteran players on the server. Staff have noticed that players - especially the veterans have been breaking the rules at a higher frequency since 2017. This is largely due to the leniency that is offered to players who are ranked citizen and above, leading to many thinking that they will always be able to get away with breaking the rules. We want to put a stop to this and we also expect our veteran players to display a standard fit for veterans. Happy new year. Let's work towards a better, more welcoming community for all.
Honestus Esse…
Honestus Esse is an initiative by the WolvHaven staff to make members more aware of their actions and how it affects the community. What does "Honestus Esse" Mean? "Honestus Esse" means "to be honest" in Latin and we would like all people to express their honest opinions in this activity. What is it about? Similar to the craze over anonymous feedback tools such as sayat.me and sarahah a few months ago, we want to provide a way for all members of the community to provide anonymous feedback to each other. You can send feedback to anyone - even members of staff and SilverWolv himself (we don't bite or ban. really. so long as you follow the rules) Why was it setup? In the WolvHaven Demographic Census 2017, several of you…
Extended Server Downtime November 2017
The server is currently experiencing extended downtime due to unforeseen circumstances. Upon further investigation, the server will remain down until 12 November 2017. Afterwhich we will be migrating to another server which was purchased earlier. What happened? TLDR; Currently the server is running on nix's existing server which was already paid for (but he had no use for it, so WolvHaven is using it). However, this came with a clause where there would be a bandwidth limitation. It was expected that it would be sufficient. However, this was not the case. As a result of a recent DDoS attack, the server reached its bandwidth limitation and as of now, nothing can be done about it until the limit resets on 12 November 2017. Whats being done about it? Upon restoration…
