We’re hosting a Halloween-inspired building contest that’ll be held from Oct 3 - Oct 31. You have all the time to create one or as many entries as possible during this time frame. We encourage you to build with a team to create something awfully spooky, however, both solo or team-builders are welcome to participate. We have the details listed below:

You have from October 3rd to October 31st so submit your Halloween-themed builds.

There will be two top winners:

1. One will be crowned the winner from our dev team
   
2. Second winner will be chosen by the community (the top five builds will be chosen from the dev team and will be up for vote by the community to crown the winner)

The event was a great success thanks to all the participants, there were a lot of creative builds put together with a lot of care and dedication. While only one could emerge victorious from our all out PVP war, all of you fought well.

When I say this was a tooth and nail decision to pick the best build, I mean it. Our stream was an absolute blast with so many people showcasing their creativity - what a wonderful time! Thank you to all who participated, lets check in on the winner and honourable mentions.

First Place - Sharon & legenie

For the building contest you will have from Aug 1 to Aug 7 to make your base, create the most spell-tastic base you can, and we’ll judge the winner at the end of the event. On Aug 8, the server will switch over to PvP and the battle will begin!
