Hey Noobs!
The summer crate is finally here thanks to @ClaryMorgenstern nagging helping me with it.
You can now purchase the items at the /warp crate.

You'll be happy/annoyed a some of the new server wide special items such as money bags. Money bags gives everyone logged into the server $10K. Is that a horrible idea, and I'm a moron? Probably. BUT OH WELL.

In celebration of the crate being released we also have a summer sale going on. (Woo! Wait is it weird to cheer in your own forum posts? Ah shit it is isn't it.)
The store will have a 33.33% discount running from now to the end of July, so if you've been meaning to pick up a rank, NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME.

Thanks for reading this nonsense, and have a great day everyone!

Hey peeps! The forums and Discord now love each-other like you wish your parents loved each-other! (Maybe too real)

On the bright side, you can now login with Discord

And get your ranky ranky syncy syncied to the Discordo.

It's neat stuff! I promise!
You can find your external accounts by mousing over your profile -> External Accounts -> Link Discord. Or clickin' dis link.

Thanks for reading. If you read this by 7/7/17 (July 7th), use the coupon code "discordiddlydoo" for 50% off your entire cart on http://shop.supernoobs.net
Coupon code can be redeemed once per customer.

Heya Noobs! In searching for the source of the server's lag issues, I'm going to be disabling various plugins on the server for a day to determine if it's the source of the lag. My test environment doesn't suffer from the same source of lag, so I'm not able to reproduce the issue alone unfortunately.

If one of the plugins being disabled fixes the lag that doesn't mean that it won't return, but it will allow me to investigate the issue in more depth.

Schedule

• Monday 4/10/17 Spawn leaderboards will be disabled
• Tuesday 4/11/17 Grand Exchange and Bank will be disabled
• Wednesday 4/12/17 Quests will be disabled
• Thursday 4/13/17 Shop Chests will be disabled
• Friday 4/14/17 ChestShops, GrandExchange, Leaderboards, Grand Exchange, and Quests will be coming back online. ChestShops will have reduced tracking settings and I will be actively tuning the plugin to reduce the impact on the server.
• Saturday 4/15/17 ChestShops not easily salvageable. Will be investigating other solutions.
• Thursday 4/20/17 Final Update: Turns out ChestShops were totally easily salvageable, and have a known issue. We're okay now though. No more tears.

I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you, but I believe that the inconveniences caused by the lag are far greater than not having the plugin for the day.

Again, apologies for any inconveniences caused.

Edited 4/13/17 1:48PM MST: Lag issues are still persisting despite the other plugins being removed. My next suspect is Shop Chests, so those are going to be removed.
Edited 4/13/17 6:46PM MST: ShopChests definitely seem to be the source of the issue. Going to reinstall the other plugins to verify that they don't also cause an issue.
Edited 4/13/17 7:18PM MST: I came to the realization that it was shop chests when one...

Valentines Day Shiyut
Crate
Valentines Day is here! And despite my University level procrastination skills, I HAVE SOMETHING DONE! The Valentines crate can be found at /warp crate, though if we're completely honest some things might not be 100% working properly just yet. Oh well!

Sale
To celebrate the love of the noobs and the cupids and the spuds we have implemented the sales and the stuff. The important thing is that I'm super sleepy right now and just want to go to bed, so cutting to the skimmies the sale is -33.33% off, and will last for the day and the next day.

Quests
Shout out to Orion his quest team for rocking the Valentines quests for yet another holiday, and you guys should all go check out what they've been doing! I should probably ask Orion for more details on where people can find the quests now huh?
