Planet X - Interim Server

While the main server is busy traveling across the country, you can still play with your buddies on Planet X, our secondary server hosted by Robot. Planet X used to be a seasonal event on Paladins, but it has evolved into a thing of its own!

The IP is.....

98.183.84.168:11100 

It's got McMMO, PVP, Adventure, Quests, Economy, Farming and more!

At the heart of it all is Spawn, a vast medieval city filled with shops, quests, and secrets. The server is inspired by dungeon-crawling RPGs like Ultima, Wizardry, The Bard's Tale, NetHack, Fallout 3, Elder Srolls, Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, and Dwarf Fortress. Like all good RPGs, there is a massive dungeon below the city for your to explore, if you've got the guts the treasure is yours. The designer is constantly adding new features, so the RPG elements are constantly growing. You can gamble at slot machines, battle monsters and sell their drops, or wander off and settle down for a peacful life of farming, only traveling to town to sell your harvest.

Or maybe all that hard work sounds terrible, and you'd rather just lurk around town, stealing from houses and fighting duels to the death on one of the many dark, twisty alleyways. Maybe you have wanderlust, and seek adventures in far away villages.

Visit the Adventurer's Guild in-game to learn more about the RPG aspects of the server.

Level up. Earn gold. Become the hero you were born to be.

Unlike most Minecraft servers, you won't have to do the same-old thing. Instead, you can use the Minecraft world to supplement your progress through the Planet X adventure. A good example of this is farming: wheat is a great way to make money and requires you to farm outside of town, and then sell your crops in town like any other RPG would have you do.

Unlike most other games, everything won't be the same forever: the town, the quests, and everything evolve as part of the dynamic world. Enjoy today, for tomorrow the world might be a different place.

Or, just run off a few thousand blocks and become a hermit. Every planet needs hermits.

Journey to Planet X!

Expected server outage

This is still a ways off, but I need to make sure everyone has advanced notice of what's going on with the server. I expect to be moving the server in mid-to-late December. This process will mean that the server will be down for at least a week, if not longer; however, I fully expect to return to normal operation (maybe 1.8?) by our 2nd birthday (Jan 1st). Do not be alarmed if during this period the server is down for a prolonged period, we will return as soon as possible.

Also, thanks again for all the hundreds of regulars that have joined us over the years. It's been fun (most of the time) and I hope you'll play with us in the future. We're always trying to update the server to make things entertaining and challenging and if you don't like what we're doing, then let us know (don't whine though, it takes a lot of effort on top of our lives to keep a community going) and just wait to see what we do next.

As always, you can email us with questions, concerns, and complaints. Or use in-game mail or hit up the Twitter feed.

Golden Grail

Congrats Annie, who found the Golden Grail on Planet X!

The Facility

Robot detected strange energy readings from a Facility, which has appeared in town.

Find this place, solve this mystery.

The Hut on Planet X

This hut is on Planet X, and it is filled with gold. Will you be the one to find the treasure? Better hurry, time is running out...

Check out twitch.tv/Robot2600 for clues to the location.

Cactus Prices

As many of you know, Cactus prices have been reduced to their old prices. This is a good thing, because Cactus farming is awful and everyone knows it. It is creating tons of lag on the server, and you'd be better off doing something more productive and fun.

Starting December 1, 2014, you will no longer be able to sell Cactus. The structures can stand as ruins to the past.

If any other form of automated farming becomes a problem, that market will also be removed.

As mentioned earlier, the main concern is lag. But the admins also feel that, in general, it just is not a fun way to make money.

Rest assured, ye Paladins, that ever more lucrative methods of making money are in the works...

...this week...

Personal update

Hey guys, it's your least favorite owner here!
Just wanted to make a little post about my absence lately. It started out as a little bit of boredom with vanilla, so I started playing some small mod packs to liven it yup. Unfortunately, I never had time to finish the balancing and boss work I had planned, because my work schedule has become very intense. It doesn't look to be clearing up anytime soon, but I'm still involved and plan on bringing everything to fully functioning soon.
