BREAKING: 1.6 coming soon, awaiting approval...

BREAKING: MajicDave posted on his Twitter last night that update 1.6 could be just around the corner!

Essentially, Dave's now just waiting for the App store to approve it, and for Noodlecake to port it to Android for the Androiders out there. According to beta testers, Noodlecake has finished porting to Android and now they're beta testing the Android version, which Erick says takes about "2-4 weeks".

1.6 is coming soon! Get ready, folks!

Land of Omicron's new Pletopia world to launch soon, co-owner Bucket introduces PPP program

LAND OF OMICRON - Players are excited as they await the opening of the newest world in the Omicron network, Pletopia.

The world will open in 1.6, and will replace Plebeius as the primary public world of the network. It will mark a new chapter in Omicron history when it opens. It came as a surprise when Bucket became a co-owner of the server.

Bucket has been giving out hints. The server will be economy-themed, and Greek/Roman-themed as well. He has revealed that there will be clans, and lots of art, including an Omicron anthem! The world continues to wait for the opening...Bucket has revealed some details, but has kept others secret. He has given one clue each day.

Meanwhile, Bucket has also introduced the PPP program. PPP stands for Popularity Partnership Program, which is a unique program that will potentially increase the popularity of servers.

The servers that get accepted will have their own forum on the Omicron website, and it will essentially be partners with Omicron, as the server will have an embassy on the Pletopia world, as well as share players and resources. The owner will still have total control over the server. The server may also recieve starter chests if requested.

To apply, PM Bucket with the server. The server must have 50 posts on the thread as well as be at least a month old. The owner needs 100 reputable posts, as well as be a member for 2+ months on the forums.

Pie Games was the first server in the PPP program, and the application for Cheeseworld has been approved and the forums are being created...

Cheeseworld crime wave ends, Cheeserails project continues

CHEESEWORLD - The crime wave has been going about a month. Thousands of dollars worth of items stolen. But it's all over now. The culprit has been found, and the items have been recovered.

Players are happy to get their beloved items back. Notably, Heartbeat got back nine shops she won in the lottery last week, the shops containing a total of 60 million dollars.

Cheeseburger is offering financial compensation to those affected. Players can now play normally again, and there is no longer a need to keep items all secured.



Meanwhile, the Cheeserails project is now in full swing. The first rails have now been laid, and about 200 blocks have been laid so far. The first priority is to connect the spawn continent, then to expand and reach the eastern islands, including Darkfur's spectacular Glory Island and Nicktbl's island, among others.

The railway will become a significant connector across the server, making transportation much easier. It is currently a long trip by boat and walking to get from spawn to Glory Island, days in length, but when the railway is completed the journey will be a fast handcar commute and will take just minutes to complete.

The railway is eventually expected to go around the 4x world.
