This morning I discovered the issue with WoM Direct which has been plaguing us for the past 3 weeks. The error was causing the list not to update and wasn’t removing old servers.

I have since rectified this issue and you should no longer have any problems.

We apologise for the time it took to fix the error.

The next contest them will be: Futuristic!

We will release the contest details early next week, stay tuned if you are interested!

Hint:
If you are thinking about participating, start thinking of some ideas, get a plan together and keep them a secret… Having the advantage always helps!

Also if you haven’t heard, triddin spent a few hours of his own time updating the SMP server to the latest version. If you notice any bugs or issues, please contact a staff member…

Mellcor with his ROBO-Mod 1.0. Congratulations Mellcor and thank you for the new skin.

In other news.. we will be releasing a new contest soon on WoM: Realms!

To the users that think it’s cool to spam the forums with “Clan” and “WoM” news junk.

Here’s a real NEWS FLASH: Numerous topics about the same thing is STUPID!

While your intentions are good, some users (including me) find it annoying and rather pointless that numerous users are now doing it… One person doing it would have been sufficient!

However, that said, I have created a sub-forum called ‘News - Clan and WoM’. Feel free to post in this thread all the “News” that you want!

Can you please post all topics related to news into the new sub-forum. We will create a RSS feed on WorldofMinecraft.com and WoMRealms.com that users are able to subscribe to. If you are caught posting outside of this topic we will delete your post, continue to do it and we will ban you. <— How is that for incentive?

Have a good day :)

It’s time for us to announce the winners of the WoM Christmas Contest 2011. I know you guys have been anxiously waiting for us to announce the winners and we are ready to deliver the results! We are sorry it took so long with the points difference and seeming as the prizes are huge we wanted to be spot on with the winners.

In third place is: ZZDrumkitz
He made a large building in which toys were made which would bring Christmas cheer!

In second place is: ranger10700
Ranger’s realm is bursting with Christmas joy and you can see straight away from the back of his realm he has a little greeting for all the visitors.

And now, for the winner of the WoM Christmas Contest 2011: Chillex
Chillex’s realm is bright and colourful with gift boxes littered all over the floor with a colourful tree in the middle. You can also spot what appears to be a Creeper dressed up as Santa. On one of the walls “All I want for Christmas is Minecraft!” and even though we are a bit late for Christmas, your wish has been granted!

Chillex, ranger10700 and ZZDrumkitz once again, congratulations and someone will be in contact soon about your prizes!

One final note: I would like to thank Lunick for helping me write up the contest posts and arranging certain contest aspects… Judging and nagging me to get it done :D

We are now ready to announce the finalists for the contest. In no particular order:

• WRN
• ranger10700
• Chillex
• buttonpresser
• vjugalde
• teodor88
• acissejxd
• ZZDrumkitz

These guys will get 250,000 reputation points for making it into the finals. I hope you guys can bare with us until we announce the winners of the contest as our judges are making important decisions as these 8 entries are very close with a fraction of points separating them all.

Contest details can be found here: http://www.womjr.com/contest3

To all the entrants who didn’t make it to the finals, thank you for participating and good luck with the next Contest.

I would like to thank Lunick for the help!

As you’ve all probably noticed, the Minecraft Classic server list over at http://minecraft.net/classic/list has been lately getting spammed, and this was causing all sorts of lag when signing in and selecting servers from the list when using the WoM Game Client.

To rectify this issue the WoM Game Client now pulls down a validated list of servers from WoM Direct instead of the official list from Mojang (by default). You may toggle this behaviour by deselecting “Valid” at the login screen, which will likely cause your client to crash until this mess is sorted out Mojang-side.

Merry Christmas guys.
