Clan News

This week, we say farewell to long-time clan Heliopolis. Rumor has it that they are heading underground to continue their schemes, though. We hope to still see more of them in the future.

As more people are shifting around in clans, please remember these rules. You cannot simply leave a clan and join another the same day! If you wish to be removed from your current clan for whatever reason, please post on this thread with which clan you are trying to be removed from and the date of your posting.

Parliament

This section is purposefully under the Clan News section as it deals directly with clans. Starting soon, each clan on DarkTide will be able to choose a member of their clan roster to serve on DarkTide’s first Parliament. These members will be able to serve as an advisatory committee “to the great and powerful redtags.” -Kaliven

Members of the Parliament will be in the unique position to be able to cast votes to the developmental path of DarkTide and to the order in which new content gets released to the server. Clan leaders, start thinking!

We know that there are plenty of players on DarkTide that do not like to be in a clan but nevertheless can provide us will a large amount of feedback into the average life of a player on the server. There will be 1 member of DarkTide’s Parliament chosen by players that are not members of a clan. Nominations can be posted in this thread.

Auctions

If you are in the market for a plot of land right in the middle of DarkTide, whether it be for a place to store your stuff, trade, or build a roller coaster, please see the following listings for plots that are up for sale:

common4 – 10×10 13 high
common5 – 10×10 13 high
common6 – 14×14 14 up
common7 – 14×14 14 up
common8 – 14×14 14 high

New Perk for Landowners

If you own a Land Owner and for whatever reason (we don’t really care) want the name of the land changed, you may now request a name change to the tune of 10 portals. This pays for the time that we have to take to manually perform the changes.

Gifts for Large Donors to DarkTide

If, during your time on DarkTide, you have donated $300 or more to the server, you now have the opportunity to have a custom title! In a few days, we will have a complete list of all the people elligible for a custom title. Please see here for information on the title itself.

On that note, shoutout to all donators to the server: your contributions keep the server running. Literally. Thank you.

Official DarkTide History Museum

As promised, you can find more pictures of the Museum here. Look for some more content soon and maybe some player-built monuments!
