Hello everyone!

The Daily Diviner Writer applications have now closed. The few remaining applications are still being looked at and we hope to hire new members very soon.
Thank you to everyone who applied!

If you do have any questions regarding the applications, feel free to message the Head of Media.

Hi everyone! I’m excited to bring you an update from the development team.

Reset is back, again!
We believe this time, we have nailed all the bugs with /reset. There were a couple of issues that gave some players extra spells, and /reset deleting some important data about the player. These were not simple fixes, but we believe it should be fixed now!

You can purchase a reset token from the store for free once a month. Your entire character will be reset, apart from your store items and event spells.

Housing changes
It’s no secret that Housing has been super unstable lately. We took a super close look at it today, and made some significant changes that seem really promising!

We’ve also added a couple of frequently requested features!

• /house fly - this is a premium option that can be purchased for 20,000 gold. Once purchased, you may use the command whenever you like. This only works for the plot owner...

With the Revelius Update nearing (more information on that soon), our roleplay storyline is continuing to grow. We plan on creating roleplay events more often with quests and new items in the near future. To accomplish this, we've created a new roleplay team within Game Design! This new team will be called Seers, which you can apply for here.

Seers will be dedicated to creating all the roleplay content provided by the server and we're super excited to see where our storyline goes. Hope to see you all at the next roleplay event, the Dark Lord Election, on Sunday March 29th at 12pm PST!

Hello everyone!

I’m very excited to introduce a very new competition - the ‘Housing Awards’. It’s our new spin on our classic ‘Housing [Theme] Competition’ that we used to do in the past. This time around, instead of setting a theme dictating your build and thus the entries - we will set no theme at all! Instead we will run this competition like an award show, with nominations and their own rewards. We need you, the community to enter and encourage others to enter to make this a very fun and new kind of event.

Stage 1: Entries

Our first stage is the entry stage! Like I mentioned earlier, anyone with a housing on Potterworld can enter. But make sure to read and meet the requirements first;

• Anyone can submit an entry; including staff and non-staff positions.
• The one who is entering must be the owner of the housing plot, but may add people to make it a ‘group entry’. (i.e if I want to submit /housing RobotWizz...

Greetings witches and wizards!

• The Lucky Wand
• Pet Leprechaun
• St. Patty's Emote Pack

These items will only be available till the end of March. Enjoy!

We're excited to announce that we are now accepting Unspeakable applications from players!

Unspeakable has been a staff-only application position since it was introduced in August of last year. They work on quests, events, professions and more! Right now our main focus is the Revelius Update, so if you're interested in contributing, apply here!

Applications will remain open for the forseeable future, and if you have any questions feel free to contact me (hullo?#8498) or the Chief Unspeakable (Autumn#2106) on Discord. We're looking forward to seeing your applications!

Celebrate House Pride this year by engaging in an all-house competition! Travel to the courtyard and earn Pride Points for your house by completing various daily activities and finding hidden chests around the world. Earn Event Tokens by completing these daily activities and competing against other players in Minigames found in /games! The house that triumphs above all will earn 1000 house points, with second earning 500, and third earning 250.

We're also excited to announce that Serpent and Honeybadger have new Head of Houses! Serpents will now be led by DenizTM, while Honeybadgers are being led by KieranTM!

In addition to the House Pride event, there is a store sale for all house and school related items! Check them out on the store!

Rewards
Each house has its own set of rewards, and you may only purchase the rewards for your house. The rewards are as follows:
- 1...

Hello everyone!

Some changes have arrived to the Arithmancer applications, including a new role!

What has happened to the old Arithmancer application?
In the past, 2D and 3D Arithmancer used to be in the same application. This made us unable to properly close 3D Arithmancer while 2D was still open. This was also at times confusing for applicants.
We have now split the Arithmancer application into two separate apps, one for 2D and 3D. With this split, we are now able to control the apps better and we have been able to add examples to each application. These examples make it clear what style and type of work we are looking for.

What is a Skin Arithmancer?
A Skin Arithmancer is a staff position that makes skins for the server. These skins are used for events, Potterwatch videos, renders, and much more! This role existed in the past few months already as a staff only application, but has now been made public.
We know that...

Hello everyone!

Last month we released the Content Creator rank. In the post, we mentioned that the requirements would change from time to time. To prevent many announcements about requirements changes, we have decided to pick a specific time frame. If in a month requirements do change, these changes will always happen in the first week of the month.

Content creators will always be directly informed of any changes if relevant to them. For the others, simply check out the requirements on the application. It is possible that there will be months without any changes. This month however, we have lowered the subscriber/follower minimum to 2000.

The application has been updated to reflect these changes. Any future requirement changes will thus no longer be announced. Keep an eye on the application for any changes.

Greetings everyone! We bring you some exciting news!

It has always been a goal of ours to connect with our community, be transparent with them and ensure that our players feel heard. It’s an area that we can always better ourselves in, and today, we attempt to do so by adding an entirely new department to the server.

This department will be known as Community Management. Its main goal is to improve how we interact with the playerbase (you guys!), and listen to their input. This department will ensure that players remain happy, and always have somewhere to go to for concerns and new ideas for the server. It’ll start off with two ranks:

Poltergeists:
This is a staff rank and anyone can apply for it (and you should if you meet the requirements hehe).

Responsibilities as a Poltergeist will include the following:

• Playing through new...

Greetings everyone!
The Media department is pleased to announced that we have reworked the old Youtuber rank and are re-opening applications.

What has changed?
The Youtuber rank is now called the Content Creator rank. This means that people such as Twitch streamers can also now apply. Furthermore, we have lowered the requirements to make the rank more accessible. We have lowered the subscriber/follower minimum to 4000. However, we have also made it so that the requirements can change over time. Sometimes that means the minimum will go down, and sometimes it will go up.

For who is this role?
The role is for popular content creators interested in creating content from time to time on our server. The role offers some permissions to create content more easily, such as the ability to disable private messages.

How is this different from Director?
A Director works directly for the server. A Content Creator does not work...

Hello Everyone!

I bring an update regarding the Uservoice on behalf of the Development Team.

After running for a year and a half, we plan on bringing the Uservoice service to an end. We'd like to thank every single person that has contributed to the suggestions on the platform for helping to shape the server, making it what it is today. We have gotten to know what our players and staff, alike, want to see from the server and how they would like it to develop.

Why?
With around 1000 suggestions created so far, it's fair to say Uservoice was popular and so this was not an easy decision to make, but it is one we had to come to for a multitude of reasons:
At the end of the day, Uservoice wasn't something that we had developed. The platform was completely separate to us and as such it limited what we had planned for it, ultimately meaning it couldn't do what we had originally wanted. Along with this, being...

Hello everyone!

As per popular request, we've added some additional swearing voice channels and changed the categories slightly. They're called The Dark Prison and the Mysterious Manor and can be found under a new category called "Swearing Channels". With there now being three in total - including the pre-existing Knockturn Alley - we felt it would be wise to separate them from the rest of the non-swearing channels to avoid any confusion or incidents.

The rules have been amended slightly to more accurately represent how we want these channels to be used. We're revoking the term "NSFW" and instead using "Swearing", as these are two very different things and the former is one we don't want to encourage anywhere on our platforms.

Please note that these changes do no effect any other existing rules & any incidents of NSFW content, or inappropriate language such as racist, homophobic, etc, slurs, are still strictly prohibited.

The rules can be found...
