Newsletter 05-04-2018
Heya Everybody!
It’s been that long already - Jeez time flies. The first ever launch of Monolith RP will be exactly 1 year this Saturday (we launched on 07-04-2017). It has been a very extreme change for us - with initially being a small project to see it grow to something so big with approximately 5,290 forum members and 52,138 individual users on our servers! It’s amazing how we as a community have grown so much. I know there are many Monolith veterans (myself included) and one thing they’d agree on is that they’d never expect the community to be THIS big. According to our statistics, our lovely staff team (and our ex-staff members, whom we will not forget to mention) have claimed in total 81,595 reports since we’ve launched!
We’ve had our downsides as any community would endure and to know we’ve managed this far even through all the rough times, is outstanding to me. Of course we wouldn’t have done it without you guys and as a thank you for being part of Monolith we’ve decided to put Premium on sale - You can now buy premium with 50% OFF! All you have to do is to use the coupon code '1YEAR' when purchasing premium from our Store. This sale will start from today and will expire on the 10th of April at 23:59 GMT. This is your chance to become a Premium Member! Since the launch of Monolith roughly 1,500 individual members have purchased Premium.
There is one extra surprise (you know we love to surprise you guys!) that you will have to find out when logging on during our anniversary day, the 7th of April. This will be set when the server naturally restarts. We hope you guys will love this surprise!
Map Progress
The Mapping Team has been hard at work to produce new areas and blueprints for our new map. It’s going along quite strong and our team is working together with the developers to work out some interesting designs that tie into some very exciting gameplay opportunities. Here’s a couple of shots from our Monoford Trello board.
Gamemode Progress
We’ve been refactoring some old, introducing a few new little features along the way and are working heavily towards our innovative Property System that we should be seeing shortly. However there’s not any media to show about it right now.
We’ll be pushing new revamped fists shortly that will allow you to punch players (although produce no damage - this’ll solve any problems that we used to have with RDMers, and it’ll show for some pretty cool RP.) - also showcasing new pickup tools, ability to pick up ragdolls with much more control and responsiveness. And finally, we’re also working on a new addition to our wonderful Casino, the Coin Pusher. Here’s a couple of pictures of some of this.
Easter 2018
So in this newsletter I’d like to include little bit of information about our Easter Event on the server. As you may have noticed there have been several Easter eggs planted on the server. They are filled with lovely surprises - if you have the right Easter egg! Easter eggs will stop spawning on the 7th of April. So make sure to login and collect them!
Conclusion
To conclude this special newsletter, we’d like to take a moment and thank you again for your contribution. Regardless of your position or your time on Monolith, we appreciate your decision to join our amazing community and we are thankful for every one of you who have been passionate from the start. We hope to continue our journey - there’s lots and lots of things planned that we are excited to show to you guys!
