New classes release!
Two new classes have been released. Ghost and PyroTech. Acid showed them off in front of a small audience.
Abilities:
(PVP) Pyrotech: Shoots a variety of fire balls.
(PVE) Ghost: Can turn invisible.
Various opinions surround these classes and their overall use but a large amount of people are having a fun time sneaking after possible griefers or by shooting fireballs at their enemies
DDoS Attacks and You!
As a lot of you may have noticed the servers were temporarily brought down yesterday with another DDoS (Distributed denial of service) attack. This is when the server is sent millions of little bits of information in a second from multiple fake IP Addresses. This leads to the server being overwhelmed and having to deal with all this information before coming back online. Luckily Cr0ss and Acid have been working hard and these DDoS attacks should be coming to an end
Town Contest
A new town contest has been announced by acid. He has said that he will be judging on multiple things such as:
• Uniqueness
• Organisation
• Community Work
Staff Clean Up
As previously predicted in Issue 5 the Staff clean u
The helpers have been cleaned out over the weekend resulting in some demotions. People like nick say that it isn’t fair because his account was hacked making him not able to log on. Nick is trying to recover his position.
SC444 leaving for raid
Chat mod, SC444, is transferring his staff rank over to raid. He says that there is a lack of staff there and that they need him.
XLeaked wins $100 in Donor prizes!
Xleaked was one of the June voting prize winners. He was originally going to quit SR and now he has chosen to stay with his rise in status
Vendetta
Vendetta recently became an Advanced City, and they accomplished this in under two weeks time. This was able to be accomplished thanks to the dedication of Crybit, Natjar13, Audiobond, Tyedye4546, SDotx13, and multiple residents. The town outgrew itself due to the speed at which residents are joining and the town is putting in overtime hours to help build up the town around what has already been built. In a celebration of Vendetta becoming an Advanced City (quite possibly the fastest Advanced City to grow), the Mayor, Assistants, and Residents help an epic drop party at town spawn which included gold blocks, diamond enchanted armor and weapons, and many PVP related items like feathers, paper, and leather. A special shoutout goes to maddhax0r, mayor of GenMay, for helping Vendetta to grow so fast and by becoming a "big brother" city to Vendetta. The town is always open to new members including a free plot and no taxes. In addition, Vendetta's soon-to-be-named shop is being stocked with items including a whole second floor of potions and a Spleef arena design by Crybit himself.

SDotx13's Interview with Vorbic52, Mayor of Ridgefield
First off, how are things in Ridgefield?
Ridgefield is going great, this is one of the best times in the year for us as everyone starts to get their holidays so town chat is always busy. Especially with the new Town Contest to add even more reason for residents to decorate their houses and help contribute
Can you maybe tell us a little about Ridgefield? How did it come to be? And what is the story behind the connection with Ridgefield and Ridgeford?
I first started Ridgefield just as the first town competition ended and this inspired to make one a huge towns that really stood out on the server. My main idea was to make a unique themed town that felt as if you walking down the streets of an actual Medieval Town and a month later we came 2nd in the next Town Contest
Ridgeford is the sister town to Ridgefield and its main feature is that whilst keeping the same theme as Ridgefield, Reshiram4 and Trionext are much more active PvPers, so it gives players the same town whilst being able to enjoy what the like most.]
What do you feel that Ridgefield brings to the table for people to live in the town? What makes Ridgefield a great place to live?
What most players who ask to join Ridgefield would say is that they love the look of the town and just the shear size of it all. The town is always being expanded and sections of the town get renovated so there's always something new going on for town members to see and join in on.
And what should someone who is visiting Ridgefield see while in town? Any special monuments? Something for folks to get excited about?
Yes in fact, the brand new Cathedral has just started being built in town, with it being my largest build so far! Also the town bridge and castle are two other interesting features that i would recommend having a look at. Cathedral is at /town spawn Ridgefield, the bridge is in the opposite direction and the castle is left at the end of the bridge.
To sum things up, how would you express your passion for Ridgefield to the public?
Ridgefield has been a huge time sink for me over the last few months but its been worth every minute for me, being able to meet new and interesting people, whilst teaching and learning has been a perfect use of time and i look forward to meeting many more. Make sure to "/pm Vorbic52" in game if you want to join, get a tp to a building in town or just want to chat
SDotx13's Interview with Tinyman31, Mayor of DawnGuard
Thank you for sitting down with me Tinyman31. You are the Mayor of Dawnguard. Tell us a little about your slice of Savage Realms.
Well, my town is A very nice town, it has a few rules, not strict, plenty of Nice Active residents and nice Helpful assistants. We pretty much take any player who needs a town, new player or experienced, our town is very creative; from the residents houses, to the cool builds me and my Co-mayors work on, we appeal to the residents. We have jobs they can help with and we are currently working on a Mob Arena for the residents and non-residents.
What sets Dawnguard apart from the rest?
Our building style; we dont build the enviroment, we build on the enviroment.
Very nice. What type of environment does Dawnguard exist in?
We use the rivers, mountains, and everything to our advantage. To build on and around to give it a nice scenic build.
Are you excited for the towny competition? Is Dawnguard a part of it?
Yes, of course to both answers, we hope to win a place in the competition.
Tell me, why would a new member to SR wnat to join Dawnguard over all of the choices across the landscape?
A new member would like to join Dawnguard, because we offer a wide variety for the residents, from helpful and friendly assistants and residents, to the creativity of building for them on their plots around our basic town rules, to Various tasks we offer in town that residents can help with and participate with. And we offer a town idea board for the residents to post ideas of what they would like to see around town.
Dawnguard sounds like an awesome place to live. Any last thoughts for anyone out there?
Anyone is welcome to join feel free to message me or an assistant of the town
