First forum intro, yay! Welcome to Tarvos man!

The end of Tarvos: Universe "Where a door closes, another opens." It is with a heavy heart that I am making this announcement today. After months of extreme effort by our team, we find it difficult to phrase this message in a way that may seem adequate. The Tarvos: Universe project started back in early 2020 (January to be precise), with the idealogy of revamping survival gameplay in Minecraft, as well as offering a unique and fun community unlike anywhere else. As of yet, Tarvos: Universe has not opened or entered any public stage. But that does cross away all the cozy memories that have been made possible by this amazing team, whilst creating, testing internally, and meeting. I would like to say.. Farewell.. And see ya in our BETA! - Down below you'll find some extra info on our BETA. As a present, for April Fools. It will be hard for us to pinpoint an exact date for the BETA, but we'll make sure to inform you when the time is right. - Just so you can leave some space in your agenda. The Tarvos BETA will feature 4 class categories, this allows clans to fill up their roster strategically with players that possess class-specific abilities. Each category have strengths & weaknesses against other categories. As well as classes with astonishing abilities, but do keep in mind the strategic aspect! - There are consequences. Take a look at the class legend, as well as the category card for 'Knight': We'd love to tell you more about Tarvos: Universe but for now we'll keep it at that!

From what I can see, you've already linked your new account. - Do you still need help?

Come back!

Wow that's some hot news right there!

Player Report If you find a player violating a community rule (found in "Community Rules"), you may report them using the format below. A member of the Moderation Team will then review, investigate and issue punishments if applicable. Process: Please fill out the form below, make sure that the details are honest and accurate. We will get back to you as soon as possible. Guidelines: Ensure you have read our 'Community Rules' prior to posting the player report. The person reporting must be directly involved in the situation, except in severe cases such as cheating, exploiting, or cyber threats. We do not accept reports from banned members of the community or those who do not have an accessible in-game account. Evidence cannot be older than 48 hours. If players are deliberately withholding evidence and knowledge of a rule breach, they will be punished for said action. The explanation of the player rule breach must be concise as well as factual. Players who are not directly involved in said situation are not allowed to respond unless sharing pertinent, concrete evidence. If you comment on a report you're not involved in you may face applicable punishment(s), depending on the severity. All responses to the player report should be factual and only reference the questions asked by the handling staff member. Commentary back and forth between players can result in applicable punishment(s) and/or further player reprimands. Do not contact anyone from the Tarvos Staff Team regarding your player report. Situations must be handled via /report in our Minecraft Server or on the forums. Failure to adhere to this can result in your player report being denied and potential player reprimands. 'Double posting' and 'Thread bumping' is not allowed. Please reserve one player report for one situation and be patient while your report is reviewed and concluded. Once a staff member has made a final decision, you may not post the player report again. If you received punishment, you may try to attempt a punishment appeal one time for each punishment obtained. See the 'Punishment Appeals' section for more information. Form: https://tarvos-gaming.com/forums/index.php?/forms/6-player-report-form/

A new Call of Duty by the title of Black Ops - Cold War is making its way to release. The game is currently in development and expected to release later this year. It is confirmed to be a direct sequal to the first Black Ops release. With this said, original characters are rumored to return in extremely good looking graphics. Leaks of the game's main menu have shown a selection of 4 game modes on release: 'Campaign', 'Multiplayer', 'Warzone', and 'Zombies'. If these leaks are true, this means that Treyarch have made the decision to pursue the addition (and originally the core) to the game with their iconic singleplayer story. The past few days, Call of Duty publisher 'Activision' and development studio 'Treyarch' have teased fans with teasers. These teasers however did not include direct content of the video game. Instead, subtle hints were included. Today (26th of August), players are told to gather in Warzone on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as a reveal event is going to take place at 10:30 AM PDT. **This thread will be updated when new information surfaces** Share your thoughts below!

Thread locked. I'd like to thank you for your opinions.

I love this but they're too long, it's not going to fit and it'll be difficult to abbreviate. Interesting!

To be fair, giving it space-themed names is not a horrible idea at all.

COMMUNITY INPUT #2: Donator Ranks & Perks Discussions may be held below. Hello everyone! We'd like to ask everyone to share their opinions on a donator system we're working on. Before telling you more about our idea's we'd like to hear your sides. Let us know what you think; What should the donator ranks be named after and what perks will they offer?

COMMUNITY INPUT #1: Minecraft Server Version Please vote up in the poll section. Discussions may be held below. Disclaimer: If we decide to host our server on version 1.8.9, we can still allow players with version 1.15.2 to play. If we decide to host our server on version 1.15.2, newly introduced features, blocks and mobs will look odd to players in older versions. An example would be that bees look like flying squids in older versions.
