Hello everyone!

The Media department is pleased to announce that we are reopening the Director Intern application after the role has been reworked. We are very excited to welcome new members to the team!

What has changed?
We have made the Director Intern more like an intern. As a Director Intern, you will be creating videos for the Potterwatch channel under the supervision of a Sr. Director or a Media Lead. As a Director Intern, you will be learning skills to help you improve video creation and editing, and you will learn the standards we have for Potterwatch. The major difference between the old Director Intern and the new Director Intern is that now we do not expect people to already have great video creation skills. We welcome people who know the basics but who are also still learning.

Applications will be open indefinitely. Take your time with filling in the application and creating a test video. There's no rush to apply! If...

Hey everyone! It’s been nearly a week since the release of the daily streaks login, and here’s what we’ve learned from it, what we’re doing about it, and what to expect.

Reverting the update
After careful consideration, we’ve come to the decision to revert the streaks update, whilst we take the time needed to fix the bugs that has been occurring with it. We know that reverting updates is not fun, and trust me, it is even less fun for us, but with the amount of bugs the daily streaks is having, it’s something we have to do at this point in time to ensure a good gameplay experience for everyone.

Why we’re making this decision
We want to be transparent with all of you and explain why we’re making this decision:

1. We miscalculated the bonus experience rewards by a long shot. In some cases, players were rewarded over 20 million experience.
2. A lot of player’s streaks were resetting at random times, when they were not supposed to...

Witches and wizards, today we bring you an update from the development team! A new method of earning gold and Potter Points is here!

What are daily login streaks?
Daily login streaks are our new way of encouraging players to join the server on a consistent basis. This way, if you log in multiple days in a row, the reward you get for claiming your daily reward gradually increases, and continues to do so based on the streak amount. Graduates receive a larger gold bonus, whilst non-graduates receives a very large experience bonus.

Once you’ve reached the tenth consecutive daily login, the login streak will reset and you will be rewarded 25 Potter Points.

Balancing changes
With this, we’ve made a few changes to graduate rewards. Instead of receiving 50 gold for simply...

Hello everyone!

The Head Staff team and the Moderation department are excited to announce a change to the Moderation team! A few ranks are being renamed and there's a new role being added to the department in order to help balance things out a little more. The roles are now going to be:

• Jr. Prefect - This is the entry rank to the department and is just the old Trainee rank renamed.
• Prefect - This is the mid rank in the department and functions almost the same as a current Prefect would.
• Sr. Prefect - This is the new rank, and is the senior position in the department. These are similar to Prefects but have more responsibilities.
• Lead Prefect - These are the Leads in Moderation and are the old Sr. Prefects [not to be confused with the new rank].

There are, of course, the other ranks within the department, but these remain unaffected by these changes. We hope that these changes make sense! The application for...

Hello everyone!

3D Arithmancer applications have now closed. We have decided that 2D Arithmancer applications will remain open until we have filled all our spots. As a reminder, 2D Arithmancers create graphics for the server, such as the banner seen on this post, using photo manipulation software.

We are very excited to welcome new members to the team! To those who have submitted their applications within the past few weeks, we expect to reply to you within the next two weeks.

Please contact the Head of Media if you have any questions.

Hello everyone!

We have decided to write up our protocols regarding reinstatements of former team members in order to bring some transparency to that subject, as well as giving information to any former team members considering joining back.

Each Head of Department has written out the specific protocol regarding their department and ranks, and it’s all been gathered up in the document found here.

For any concerns or questions, please contact a Head Staff member!

Heya everyone!

In September the build team's main focus had been working on minigame maps, and we're excited to kickstart our contect cycle for minigames this October!
However, with this we will also introduce the Department of Leisures and Games revamp.

The Revamp
Besides the actual department being revamped build wise, we have also changed the way how some of our NPCs work in the Games Department!
Essentially, Droppers, Mazes & Parkours have had their menu split into difficulties. Ranging from easy to hard!
Heads up! You may see some 'duplicate' options in the menu, but it is really a map with a same theme but a varying difficulty - in this case you'll notice it's our old maps we revamped a while ago.
To add onto this, we've also introduced a 'Seasonal [minigame]' option to each menu - what this means is whenever an event comes around, we can re-introduce maps that may have been used in the past but cannot be used anymore for...

Hello everyone!

On behalf of the Moderation department, we'd like to announce an update to the rules! I've recently gone through and updated all the rules to not only be more reflective of who we are as a server, but also to include a lot more detail than what they previously did. These are active immediately, so please make sure that you know them as you will be held accountable.

Please contact the Head of Moderation, or any other Head Staff or Sr. Prefect, on Discord, or submit a ticket in-game or on the website if you have any questions or concerns with the update.

Hello!

After quite some time of it being banned from being used, LabyMod is now allowed to be used on the server! We've now blocked all the features we were previously concerned about that we didn't want others to use - we had no way of tracking who was using what, so it was blacklisted altogether. The rules will be updated to accommodate for this change!

Anyone previously banned for this will be permitted to appeal their ban, but doing so does not guarantee an unban. While it's no longer a rule, when it was, it was severe and cannot be overlooked. Please take this into consideration when appealing.

Any questions or concerns about this can be directed to myself on Discord at Gracelyn™#0666. Have fun playing!
