The rumors around Regalia have been true. the old, closed down tavern known as Emperors Tavern in common district is under new ownership!

The investor used to own a small pub in merchant district, but after a deal with the city  council is he now in possession of the old tavern.

- The tavern is fully restored and me and my staff are ready to serve the thirsty and hungry people of Regalia! – igel

You should now simply use massivecraft.com instead of mc.massivecraft.com. Using mc.massivecraft.com works for now but will stop working in the future.

The same goes for team speak. You can now connect to our team speak server using massivecraft.com instead of ts.massivecraft.com.

From this post onwards within 24 hours we will remove all Item Frames from Regalia. This means that on Tuesday may 14th 7:00 GMT, all Item Frames in Regalia will be removed regardless of their content or location.

We are removing Item frames to boost Framerate performance in Regalia, especially so since the performance loss from the Merchant district had grown to become unacceptable for a region so vital to new players and the economy.

• MonMarty: released the Book on the Seraph, a book with some information on the mysterious extinct Seraph civilization.
• MonMarty, Cayorion: Temporarily disabled Vampire bloodlust. This is going to be a temporary fix until Cayorion can find the time to dedicate some days on rebalancing vampires for PVP purposes. This will also allow player made reports to be more reliable when concerning video evidence of hacking/cheating.
• MonMarty, Cayorion: Disabled placing of item frames in Regalia.

A speaker appears on the square:

“eherm! Smith & Son Cooperation needs your help today! After digging countless of hours, we lost many miners due to unknown reasons. This is why we need you to help us at our newest project. The grey-sailed ship will transport you comfortably to the mine. The place is still top-secret, so you get a tea that help you to fall “”asleep”"…eherm!. You will get woken up when we have arrived at the mine. Earn your money today! Smith & Son cooper…..”

Non-Rpish info:

We opened a new quest today. You can read a bit more about it here.

It is reachable by the grey-sailed ship in the regalian harbour right next to the other quest ships. Better bring your friends too, it’s great to roleplay there and you will need some assistance for the main-quests

We also highly advice you to use our texturepack for this quest, since we did decorate it with a lot of special blocks that are only visible as such in our texturepack. Assure you use Optifine aswell.

Have fun!

  Create and release Ironhall, an new quest that is more about roleplay than anything else. Read more about it here. We tested a new setup, so there is a main and six side-quests. Bring your friends too, it could be difficult alone.

They should function again, I tried it with myself and I have managed to get an email from the server upon registering. The service is not 100% reliable though and they might pop up in your junk folder. Report anyone who still cannot receive the confirmation email please.
