Hey everyone,

Some of you may recognize me from other servers I have owned/worked on or as Harry’s friend. I was also the old developer of VortexPvP & Mythcraft with Harry years ago. Over the years I’ve been around the community since 2011 working on many notable servers but he has called on me to come and help him with Vortex. I’ve known Harry personally for almost 7 years now and I’m happy to step in to help manage the server. Over the next little while I am going to be working on all the issues that are currently happening with the server. A few issues are already outstanding and from what I’m seeing the issues keep persisting. I’m going to be working closely with the management team as we figure out what new content and improvements we can bring to Vortex! Lastly, I would like to say we are going to establish clear channels of communication between the players, staff and management as soon as possible. We want to hear your suggestions and concerns for Vortex and provide you, the community with the best server we can.

We are going to put a man on Mars,
Charles V.

Discord Syncing...

Hello everyone,

I have decided to host a raid event on Saturday September 22nd on Factions. The base will be spawned in shortly before 3pm EST and the coords will be announced on discord and spammed in chat at the time. It will be your responsibility to get to the base and get a claim to build your cannon. Some of the chests in the base will be empty, others will be full of loot, tnt, spawners, etc. I would like to wish you all luck with breaching the base.

Info:

• Event start: Saturday September 22nd at 3pm EST
• 25 walls
• 10 chunk buffer

The Loot:

• Creeper Spawners
• Iron Golem Spawners
• Mob Hoppers
• Beacons
• Frosty, Spooky, Battleset armor
• Custom Enchants
• Loads of Emerald Blocks
• Crate Keys
• Creeper Eggs
• Dubs of Tnt
• Monthly crates
• Various Rank notes

Reminder:
Our server cannon rules still apply for this event, please make sure you are aware of the rules that can be found here:
https://vortexpvp.com/threads/factions-server-rules.318/

And yes, you are allowed to cannon other peoples cannons. If you have any questions please mention them below and...

Hey guys! first up would like to introduce myself, I'm Ryan and I will be doing basically everything alongside @Harry and the rest of the team. Before anything, I would like to address a question I have seen going around.

Factions

We understand that the two most recent releases of factions have not been the best, this does not mean we are giving up or anything of the sort. We plan on fixing any bugs and or issue that the map currently has, after which we will continue to staff and make sure everything is ok for the remainder of that map. Next map is still a long way away, but just know you can expect some great things to come. Retro map anyone?

Skyblock

During the next 3-4 weeks, I and the rest of the management team will be moving our focus over to skyblock, this is for the best. Our main goal is to have 2 SkyBlock servers and would rotate between them both. This would largely increase the player base as there will always be a map up and running, once one starts to settle down the other one would open and we would keep repeating the process adding new features every map.

Network

Prison, KitPvP, creative/cannon.. I have noticed they are the main things being spoken about, and...

Hey everyone!

The Comet Planet BETA is now open until Saturday. Anyone who applies at https://vortexpvp.com/beta will automatically gain access to the planet and be able to help us out with testing.

When logging in to the planet you will automatically have Vortex rank and unlimited use vortex kits + /reclaim to test all features.

Please leave any feedback and issues in the comments below so we can take care them before the official release on Saturday!

Harry

Hey everyone,

I would like to start this announcement by apologising to you all for the poor state of the servers after the revamp released. Unfortunately we encountered a ton of unexpected issues which we were unable to get fixed as quickly as we should have due to the majority of the management team, including myself being away during the first couple of weeks of the network being released.

For those not in our Discord server, after discussing the problems with the staff team and the community, we made the decision to halt the payouts for the current maps and re-release the servers with all the issues fixed two weeks ago due to the severity of some of the problems.

I am happy to be able to announce today that the date and time we will be re-releasing the servers is Saturday 8th September at 3PM EST. All payments made since the revamp has been released will be re-issued after the servers release and you will get all of your items back as soon as you login.

I have included full changelogs for all of the servers below and have also highlighted some of the key changes we have made to the servers.

Custom Enchantments
Due to the majority of the community not liking the new enchantments, we have removed all of them...

Hey everyone!

The time has finally arrived! I am excited to be able to officially announce today that the Vortex revamp will be releasing on Saturday July 28th at 5PM EDT / 2 PM PDT / 10PM BST.

The revamp release brings with it huge changes and resets for all gamemodes. The old servers are being removed and replaced with new servers which will include new and updated features and content. I have outlined in detail the changes for each server below.

Hub
The Hub has been rebuilt and now features a new Space Station design.

Hey everyone,

As many of you now know, I have recently taken ownership of the network from Dota. Some of you may remember me as the old developer of the network and more recently the new owner of Wyvern’s sister server, Mythcraft.

In taking ownership I am bringing my team with me and we are planning on completing a full network revamp over the course of the next month. This is going to involve completely shutting down the old servers which as I’m sure many of you will agree are very outdated and starting fresh with new servers and new maps. The new network will be rebuilt from the ground up, removing all the old and outdated features and content.

We will be rebranding the network back to Vortex and discontinuing the Wyvern name. There is no fixed date for the revamp release yet as it depends on a multitude of factors, however I can confirm that it will be at some point within July. The current servers will be going offline within the next few weeks after we have confirmed a fixed date for the revamp release.

I’ve included a short Q&A below to answer some questions that we’ve already been asked and will update it as more questions are asked in the comments below.

Q: Will we keep our donator ranks and permissions?
Yes, you will keep all donator ranks and permissions.

Q: Will you be paying out the FTOP for the current Factions map?
Yes, we will be paying...
