[masterT007]

did the whitelist reset too?

 

[cloke11]

I'm having the same problem as the gentleman above me, I posted and had my whitelist application accepted about a week or so before the update, and I decided to wait until the update came out so the progress I did get wasn't lost right away, now that i tried to go online it treats me as a visitor, sorry for any inconvenience (nice tutorial by the way)

 

[_Maxo]

Kainzo, will I ever be unbanned? or at least answered?

 

[oIR3CON]

Some people have already half-mastered classes, too much free time imo.

 

[DeadReckoning]

The map is amazing. <3 I really hope the whitelist bug is fixes ASAP. I can't wait to start mining/building.

 

[Zaspar]

Grats Alator!

Although it's a shame that I'm taking a break off of minecraft for school and studio production, I hope to return to an amazing Herocraft.

 

[_KittyGotWet_]

Guys, I just mined for about 1000 blocks straight and I didn't encounter someone else's mineshaft!!! Freakin' unbelievable!

 

[oIR3CON]

Mining on a new map, if this is a dream, do not wake me.

TWO NEW MAPS.
Warshard 3.0 and Bastion!

Bankers have been removed right now. The DHX is open to all. It's like an ATM. Go there and click the signs.
