The next build contest has arrived at PickAxis! Let's all hop to it and build what Easter means to us! After all the hard work that The Easter Bunny puts in to hiding those eggs, let's show him some appreciation with your fabulous building skills!
From now until Midnight on Sunday 23rd April, let your creativity flow! You can hop right into the build contest server (/server buildcontest), claim a plot (/plot auto), build something awesome, then submit it (/plot done) before building ends on the 23rd! We'll announce the winners shortly afterwards.
Check out the loot you can take home from this build contest below:
1st place
30 Coins 2nd place
20 Coins 3rd place
10 Coins And of course, teamwork makes the dream work! Teams can split the prize and glory!
So, there are a few rules we need to cover quickly... First, don't go off and build anything inappropriate or offensive! Such builds will be disqualified and exiled to the bottom of the ocean. The Easter Bunny doesn't visit there. Second, be sure to make the build as creative as possible! Finally, be sure to submit your plot with /plot done when you're finished, so that we can find it for judging! Oh, and we'll be judging based on creativity, originality, and design.
So, what are you waiting for?! Get out there and build something awesome!

Mini Events Weekend!
Greetings adventurers! We've got a treat for you during St. Patrick's Day weekend: on the 18th and 19th of March there are several events lined up for everyone's entertainment! Last time we did this it was massive--we hope you'll enjoy this one even more!
More details will be coming closer to the weekend so keep an eye on the announcements, but we have some of our classic mini-events returning, including:
Maze Runner Cross-Server Treasure Hunt PvP Tournament Spleef! Sheep Racing Find the Admin As is tradition with our mini games, we'll be running leaderboards, so on top of the fun of the games there will be prizes available at the end of the weekend! Later on, we'll also have a new build contest starting for Easter--I think you might be able to guess what the theme will be!
Mark your calendars for the 18th and 19th, 3pm PST is the kick off time!

So, let's talk rules.  Yeah, we've gotta...

Testing will take place on /server kitpvp
Hey everyone! This post is to inform you of the upcoming beta testing of our fully custom KitPvP server. We hope to offer you a new and enhanced way to PvP with your friends and dominate your rivals. Along side the traditional kits and maps we have added abilities your arsenal, these include:
Climber
Rogue
Tank

This may not seem like a lot to start off with, so we've planned a weekly release of additional abilities. Right now, we have a total of 11 planned, meaning that for the next 8 weeks you will have a shiny new ability to test out! Abilities will be able to be bought with tokens for the duration of your current (in-game) life as well as donated for to get that ability for the duration of your (real) life.
Because the plugin we will be using is completely custom, there may be a fair amount of bugs waiting to be found, and this is where you come in! We want you to test these features as well as the core functionality of KitPvP. If you choose to help us test you will get permissions for all kits and abilities for the duration of the testing time, allowing you to try out everything!
Testing is scheduled to take place this coming Saturday (click here to see a count down in your time zone), make sure to post your name here to be added to the whitelist and ensure you are granted the proper permissions. We would like to ask (although it is not mandatory) that you hang out with us in our TeamSpeak server (ts.pickaxis.com) for easy communication.
