Hello benders and nonbenders alike! With our new update going live we've decided to start a new event for you all to enjoy. This event will take place in the newly release Gaoling arena!:
When will it be?
The event will take place on Saturday July 14th at 6PM UTC. This is 2PM EST / 6PM GMT+1 / 9 PM GMT+3 / 4AM GMT+10. Please use your trusty friend Google to find exactly what time this is in your time-zone. We understand that some people may not be available during this time and will make an effort to have them at varying times in the future.
How do I join?
Please join the discord (link at top) or send a message on our forum post here or message a moderator / chat moderator in-game. If you can not get in contact with one, you can send FireLordIzumi a message on Skype (FireLordIzumi) or Discord (Mako#2066).
Am I limited to the bending I chose?
No! This event will take place off the main server by doing "/server event" once the event is open for joining. You will be able to select any bending you wish and change it at any point before the tournament officially starts. The event server will be open 30 minutes before the tournament starts to allow players to have time to pick.
Will there be elytras?
At the moment we have decided to not provide elytras for players to use. These can be used to avoid combat completely by Airbenders and serve no purpose in combat since they are disabled after taking damage.
Will there be stats and levels?
Just like on the main server you will have stat points to allocate using "/c". You will be automatically set to max level and have all moves available from the moment you select a bending. You can reset your stats throughout the tournament to change your build based on the bender you will be fighting by speaking to the stat spirit near spawn.
Will there be rewards?
First Place: A choice of any single item from the donation store or 500,000 in-game currency. Winner chooses which.-- Please note: You can NOT claim packages. Only single items. A free character slot, blue firebending, special hat, etc.
Second Place: 200,000 in-game currency.
Participation: Everyone who signs up for the tournament and participates in it without missing any matches will receive a participation prize. This will consist of 6 cosmetic heads and a tea leaf. The cosmetic heads will be 3 Diamond Block heads and 3 Diamond Ore heads. First and second place winners will receive this as well.
How often will these tournaments be held?
Currently, this event has one goal in mind - to aid in the balancing of the elements. After we have received sufficient feedback for the elements we will begin to hold this event much more often on a regular, predictable basis.
Various notes on how the event will function below:
The tournament will operate off a public leaderboard that you can request the link to at any time (after the tournament has started.)
Veterans will face veterans in the first rounds and newer players against newer players. Veteran players will fight first. This is the give the new players an opportunity to watch and learn from the fights before and give them a better chance at beating a veteran player.
Time will be controlled so that Firebenders and Waterbenders will not receive their day or night damage boosts throughout the fight. High noon bonus and full moon bonus will not occur in any fight.
If you have any questions regarding the event, you can ask in our event discord, announcement on the forums, or message a moderator in-game.
Greetings and salutations, readers! Yes, it’s me again, and boy, do I have news for you! That’s right, we’re going to be releasing something – no, it’s not dragons (sorry, Zuko).
Characters
Players will be able to create multiple characters on one account. Players are given three slots to begin with (including your existing character). Extras are available on the store for $9.99, with a bundle of three available for $24.99.
Advancements
Furthermore, players will be able to earn advancements - offering new players guidance in our little slice of Avatar, and giving completionists another mountain to conquer. Each element contains its own set of advancements, which ties in nicely with our new character system.
The Earth Rumble Arena
Are you ready to rumble? Good, because we are. Our shiny new dungeon features a full market ring (with NPCs!) and a tournament. Fight through the various opponents on offer, or just wander the market ring and read our sarcastic yet humorous dialogue – your choice.
Beware: The tournament section of the dungeon is single-player only, which works by providing each player with an instance of the arena. Make sure you’re prepared before you enter!
Navigation
Have you ever thought “Gee, I have no idea where I am”? Well, we did something about that. Now you’ll be able to explore our capital cities as easily as you wish – using the /nav command!
A New Element
Yes, you read that correctly. Well, technically it’s not an element, per se. Once one of your characters reaches Level 25, you'll be able to begin anew as a Nonbender.
Featuring a versatile move-set with grenades, mines and throwing knives, players will need to stay on the move to make full use of their new abilities.

List of things to do:
Snowball FPS - We've created a fun mini-game for everyone to take part in. Best results for this gamemode are with FoV set to 'Quake Pro'. Sign-ups are located at the bottom of the Castle staircase.
Quest ‘Helper Hunt’: Help Leonardo find his elf helper friends! They must be somewhere.
Dropper - Take the lift towards the mountain to jump straight back down again in this vertigo-inducing dance with death.
Santa Mini-Boss - Santa's mad, and he's not giving out coal this year. Best take him on in groups, or the results will be ho-ho-horrible. Fight him in the Castle.
Christmas Tree Parkour - Jump your way up to the top of the tree and find your presents in this upside-down extraordinaire. Find the tree by heading to the staircase - you should be able to see it from there.
Snow Maze - Make your way through this freezing maze for frosty prizes. To get here, head left from where you spawn in.
Hedge Maze - Make your way through these leafy twists and turns, and maybe help a family of penguins along the way - by reuniting a mother with her children. To get here, continue heading left from the Snow Maze.
The full moon rises,The scarecrows sing.From the ground a maze does spring,And with it lots of prizes.A tale of fun with scares in store,Beware of getting lost, forevermore.
A mysterious house has appeared in Republic City, and the people sent to investigate haven't returned. Why not try your luck?
Some time ago, we added cosmetic features to pets to our store.Having received player feedback, we understand that the initial values were set too high. These items are henceforth reduced as follows:
Toggling Baby on Pets: $9.99 → $1.99
Renaming Pets: $6.99 → $1.99
Alongside this, they're also combined as a package deal, which costs $2.99. Please note that these features will still last for six months, as mentioned in the item descriptions.
ExplanationWe understand conversations can heat up and become rather emotional. However, conversations that are heated or too aggressive in global chat may scare off new players or annoy long-time players.
Clarification
If you and your conversation partner(s) are fine with having this conversation, please use local/pm/tm/tn chats in order to converse in a more private manner.
With regards to mayor and/or king replacements
We're also aware of concerns regarding mayor and/or king replacements in a town or nation. Players have, for example, requested us to refund their mayorship as a new mayor didn't hold on to the agreements they made together.
In the past, we used to act and judge on this. However, situations started to get increasingly complex, and it soon became impossible for us to figure out who the rightful owner of the town or nation really was.
For this reason, we instigated a policy change back in 2015. This policy change was however not documented for newer members of our community and since presumably this could fall under the rule of scamming, we have expanded upon the clarification of that rule to explain the following:
Clarification
When the current mayor appoints a new mayor, they hand over the entire town to them. This also counts for nations and kings. Therefore, you can't ask the staff to give you your mayor or king rank back.
As an addition to the content released two weeks ago, the team has been hard at work to improve your experience while playing on the server. So, let's go through these changes!
You'll now receive messages when friends/town members die, configurable with /broadcasts.

And that's all for now, folks! If you find any bugs, please report them on the forum, under Bugs & Reports!
