August Monthly Post
Written by Ascacos

We're heading into another exciting month of fruity mischief, with lots of surprises across the FruitBowl being announced soon! Make sure you keep an eye on our discord for all the goodies.

First, though – a retrospective look at the past month, it's highlights, and a glimpse of what's to come!

Howdy Survivalists! Some news around the place!

A few minor plugin updates to the recent lagweek, we have undergone some server upgrades - Doubling the available memory! Leading to a much smoother gameplay!

Finally, Duels have returned, we had the impression we had lost it for good, out of the blue, we got an update - This will take some time to set back up but we will have it running asap! Keep your eyes out for updates on that front.

With bookweek wrapped up, we move towards the end of the year and its festivities around the corner. Once again, we will be announcing what's happening closer to the dates!

I also have been doing a few sneak peeks of a new plugin we are currently testing! Keep eyes around spawn for some out of place things, I am enjoying this one, lots of possibilities within it for eventivities!!

Onto quests! Just a little reminder, those tier 10 hunters, you need to be doing your daily quests alongside the regular weeklies to get to t10! Just doing your weeklies won't get you all the way to T10.

To top it off, tokenshards are no longer crashing people, yay. So those with vouchers for tokenshards, message me over discord or catch me in game!

Community Quests

Community Quests are back! After a small hiatus, we are back in action! Your current task is to fish up as much cod as you can (including mobfishing!) within the time limit. You can use /cq view to see the current quest as well as the time limit!

We have also introduced a leaderboard for Community Quests at /warp cq or  - Here you’ll find information about community quests, the current quest, as well as the top 10 leaderboard.

Cardager

As some of you have noticed, our Cardager has gone on an unapproved holiday. We are currently looking into how to fix it but in the meantime cards will be done manually. As always, cards will change over sometime on Monday - If you have any of the cards listed, please place them in a chest on your island and send a mail in game to either myself (ellenox) or StayToastI and we will deliver your rewards to you!

Parkour

Our monthly and weekly parkour has also been changed over at /warp parkour, be sure to give your best effort to make it on the leaderboard! If you’re first in the Monthly parkour, you could earn yourself an exclusive trophy as well as a fruitster key and if you’re in the top 5 of the weekly parkour, you will be put into a draw for a prize!

★ Vote Competition ★

Reminder to everyone that votes are tallied up for the post a few hours before the end of the month so sneaking in a couple of votes right at the end may not help. Props to everyone for keeping voting as competitive as it has been, looks like everyone is eager to win themselves a voucher! Keep up the great work everyone, please message a Community-Manager or H1N9 to redeem your voucher this month.

There are no vote competitions for the month of August as of yet. We are trying diligently to dig up these results - thank you for your understanding!

★ Top Supporters ★

We haven't featured top supporters for quite a while now as we are continuing to develop the backend of our custom store. Your support keeps Fruit Servers running and allows us to keep delivering Fruity new content to the highest standard.


★ Top Players ★

Hanafe has stood out this month, from their utilization of the world border - somehow making a fully functioning elevator at their warp, to keeping chat engaged and being all round friendly. Survival would be a different scape without hanafe! Not to mention the fabled map artist. Congratulations Hanafe!

NickNack9993751 is one of our longtime players and is constantly in the race for the player with the highest playtime of the month! Nick never goes a day without being friendly and approachable, giving every activity and event a solid attempt, and with the amount of maps they’ve played they’re full of tips and tricks! The presence you bring makes our server better, congratulations Nick!

GodlyIngressus has consistently shown high activity, helpfulness, and friendliness throughout the month, and is no stranger to the Pixelmon community. Their positive attitude and ability to create a welcoming atmosphere for all players make them a welcome sight whenever they appear in-game! Congratulations, GodlyIngressus - and thanks for sticking with us!

★ Top Staff ★

It has been a tie yet again this month for SOTM! DaNerdGuyz and myself!
I haven’t written anything for myself, but here is a segment from the staff!

B0GGSY has been hard at work in the overall maintenance of Survival lately! You will see him from chatting away in chat to working on the most hardcore aspects of the server no one realises in the back end! Thanks to Bog we have amazing new features and upcoming surprises and ideas that no one could ever imagine! Well done B0GGSY on staff of the month!


DaNerdGuys has been a wonderful addition to the staff team, from his helpful nature in chat to his willingness to lend a hand to whoever, nerds has been an asset to the team! Congratulations DaNerdGuyz!

ItaBrownie has been a shining light over Skyblock for the last few months, always around to give a helping hand and full of information! Recently, Brownie has been instrumental in a lot of our server activities including crafting comp, book week, and many more! Thank you for all you do Brownie, you’re amazing!

It's no secret that Swoppa does amazing work for the Pixelmon team and it's community. Swoppa joined us in one of Pixelmon's most challenging moments, and yet chose to stick with us through gruelling times to give the server it's best chance at success. Without a doubt, Swoppa has been one of the key individuals to attribute our success to - from keeping us all on track, completely rebuilding gyms with a team of helpers and holding the team (mostly Ascacos) accountable for our promises to the community. We owe you much and more, thank you Swoppa!


Fruitservers is an amazing community because of the people that are a part of it. Every month one player and one staff member from each server are selected and acknowledged for their contribution to the server, whether it be in-game or behind the scenes.


Stay warm everyone!
