Hey! Today the Game Design Team brings you a very exciting gameplay update for magic, combat, and more! Talents are back, and we can’t wait for those of you who weren’t able to play test last month to try out this new update. This post will go over everything that has changed. We hope you guys enjoy!

Why are we bringing back Talents?
We have decided to bring back talents, as a result of a poll in the discord a few months back. In this poll we learned that while players enjoy being able to customize their character, some of our older system designs actually limited our players with the variety of spells they can use. The re-introduction of Talents hopes to keep customizability, without overwhelming and restricting player’s options. Due to this, Spell trees and loadouts have been removed at this time.

What are Talents?
Talents are what make you different from any other witch or wizard, giving you the possibility to improve your spells in a way and combination that suits your combat abilities. There are three different categories of talents: Duelist, Transfigurer, and Mediwizard. These categories have up to 5 tiers of talents you can select from that are geared towards that category's specific combat style.

Duelist: These talents are geared towards witches or wizards who attack their foes more aggressively!
Transfigurer: These talents are geared towards witches or wizards who aim to guard their allies and distract foes!
Mediwizard: These talents are geared towards witches or...

We are excited to announce that the Game Design team is opening Magiventologist applications in search of creative minds to join our team. The Magiventologist Team functions to design and implement all temporary seasonal event content on the server. Members work in collaboration to decide on overall event concepts as well as receive individual writing and implementation assignments.

Magiventologists will be taught and expected to fully learn how to use the Potterworld Technologies to create content for the server. Events are fast paced, demanding, but highly rewarding content to work on. We are looking for those that have passion for game design and willingness to work hard to contribute to our fun events! No previous tech knowledge or game design experience is necessary and we are instead searching for individuals with these very valuable qualities.

Applications will remain open until further notice. If you have any questions about the position or the application, please contact the Events Leads (strudel#0018 or Tekno#7167) on discord.

Click here to begin filling out an application. Please ensure that you meet all of the position requirements before applying.

Greetings everyone!

We are beyond excited to announce the release of our official Potterworld Wiki! The Scribe team has been hard at work over the past year and a half writing, implementing, and preparing the wiki for the players. The Potterworld Wikipedia contains over 500 pages of content about travel, quests, gameplay, and even events! Additionally, this wiki includes in-depth lore and facts on Potterworld's towns, history, and creatures that can be read. This project has taken a lot of dedication and time, but we are so glad to be able to finally share it with everyone.

The Potterworld Wiki is still constantly being updated with new pages as well as general edits. Any page or wiki suggestions as well as bug reports are welcomed and encouraged! We will also be listing newly implemented content on the Main Page of the wikipedia so players can keep up-to-date on new pages. This has been a long journey, so thank you so much for your patience in waiting for this release!

Our seasonal May the Fourth minigames will be making their grand return!

Star Battle Star Racing will be enable throughout the whole event without rotation in /games. To play Escort Payload or Domination, simply type /games to join the queue for the featured Star Battle game mode of the day. To play FFA, you’ll need to fly the Centennial Hawk to the planet, Enmor!

With the return of Star Battle: Escort Payload, Domination and FFA this year, we are very excited to announce that we are also hosting three minigame tournaments, one for each game!

These three games will be rotating every single day at approximately 3pm PST starting with FFA, then Escort Payload, then Domination, and repeat.

What is a tournament?

A tournament is a competition in which each player is placed on a leaderboard depending on their wins, kills and deaths. Over the duration of the event, players will keep playing these games in order to attempt to climb the leaderboard higher until the event concludes. The players in the Top 5 positions on all three leaderboards will win special prizes depending on their placing.

How the Games Work

FFA has no team objective. Your objective is to kill any mobs and players in sight - even if they are on your team - in order to earn credits and points. You start only with a ST-4 Blaster Rifle or S-10 Blaster in this game and using credits, you can purchase other items such as guns, sabers, explosives and defensive items. You can constantly switch between these items and weapons. You can join this game by travelling to The Galaxy and entering the Enmor world.

Escort Payload has two objectives, one for each team. The objective of the Rebels team is to move a payload through the course and reach the end before the game ends. The objective of the Imperials team is to disrupt the Rebels from accomplishing their goal. Each team helps accomplish their goal by killing members of the other team. If the Rebels accomplish their goal, they win, and...
