Hey guys
Don't tell  but I added a bunch of new emotes to our forums.  Use them while they last!  I guarantee some of them will end up "missing" soon.  
Many of these emotes will look familiar to a lot of you. Below is a list of them. To use them simply put the word next to the emote in between colons, like this:  :cat:
 PickAxis  
 OhMyDog  
 creeper

I wont tell

I heard there's a black market in Survival. 
 
With prices no other can rival
 
And no one will know
 
That it's hidden below
 
A house in the spawn
 
You'll search all day long
 
so...
 
If you know where it is, don't tell!
 
If you know what it buys, do sell!
 
Please grab me some boots
 
And some other cool loots
 
And soon we'll be living so well

Congrats!  This was a fun contest to judge!  I loved all the entries and I laughed so hard at C_rex's.

Thanks for your thoughts.  Here are my responses to you:
1) Thank you!  I think our staff are exceptional, as well.  I enjoy playing with each of them.
2) We've done a lot of tweaking for McMMO levels.  We made it harder to level up because when we first set a level cap, the majority of players were all capped out within a week or two.  If this continues to be an issue, bring it up again in a few weeks and perhaps we can take another look at it.
3) Most login and leave messages are pretty annoying, at least in my opinion.  Ask around and if this is something a lot of you would like, we can revisit this in the future too. I do really want death messages.  I'll bring this up with @NickG365
4) I like this too, even though it keeps some people from posting initially.  I think it's a good solution to keep trolls and crap out of the forums.
5) Swearing is ok, in moderation, as long as it's not bothering players and is not disrespectful. This is not a G-rated server, but definitely not an R-rated server.  Keep it fun.
Edit 1: The dead horses are from the 1.9 update and the horsemen who spawn.  I think people just aren't killing the horses after they kill the horsemen.
Edit 2: You can use /auc info to learn the same thing.  Unfortunately, I don't think the auction plugin currently allows for the hovering option.
Edit 3: I'll talk to Nick about this.

Well done guys! Nice and dirty!

Congrats everyone! 

Hello everyone,
I am SimpleSerpent, and I am happy to announce that I will be joining your server! Here's a little about myself: I have been playing MC since 2009, and have loved it from the moment I placed that first block. I am a friendly and helpful person, and once I get set up i'll be willing to help anyone out with their MC needs. In terms of PVP i'm sub-par due to me only using my trackpad on my laptop. (I am waaaaay too lazy to go out and buy a mouse). To make up for that I have mastered the art of MC archery, so if you engage me form afar you will not last long.    <----- I use that face waaaay too much by the way.    Lastly, I have been playing MC long enough to have learned all the commands to common plugins, so if you don't know why to type, ask away! (This includes staff, fyi, not that I think you'll need it, as you guys seem very competent from my short time on here).
I look forward to playing with you all!

I'm planning on going for at least 110% dirt

Hey! so since the server has updated to 1.9, the new mob called "Shulker" was now added, these little Mobs are extremely hard to get in the over-world, so maybe the spawn eggs for this Mob should be added to the shop? Why you might ask? Well, these new Mobs allow you to make very snazzy elevators, using the levitation effect. 

Here check out a tutorial on how to make a Levitator Elevator! 
 
 

Always add it to the current plugin to capture mobs via eggs.

We have a mob capture plugin?

I agree @pyrolily

HEY GUYS! Ender here. I have something that I feel needs to be said. So, while you are on the server, every now and then you see where players vote. If you don't already I would like you to as well. Voting comes with a lot of perks like things in /shop. In creative you can get things like world edit. On skyblock you can buy island warps and survival you can get things like /stack or /fly. These are all really cool things that are purchased with the tokens you earn from voting and you can get them too! At the beginning of every month the owners, Nick and Husker, post the top voters. If you are one of those people you can get coins to get things from /buy (pretty sure that's the command) with these you can purchase ranks that allow you to do special things like /back or own vaults that allow extra space. Along with that you get more tokens!
Not only does voting benefit you, but it benefits the owners by moving us higher on the minecraft server lists. The higher we are, the more friends we have to join us who may purchase ranks of their own or vote. With this Nick and Husker can use the money they make to pay for not only the server but future additions such as , for say, Skygrid or Prison.
To make PickAxis a better place, I want you guys to vote every day. Don't worry, I'll join too. All these things I mentioned, yall can have. Just vote daily for the amazing rewards. Bring your friends on to the server, remind them to vote. Tell people about PickAxis. Follow us on Twitter, create a forums account, participate in contests, help other players, and lastly be very active. Keep up to date with everything. Making PickAxis the best server it can be isn't just Nick, Husker, and the staff team's job. It's yours too, we need your help to do this, as a team.
To make things even more fun I'm going to host a little game. If you bring friends on the server, tell them to tell me that (insert gamer tag here) invited you to PickAxis and I will give you a reward. Along with that, who ever votes the most in the months, January , February , March, April, and May, will receive a special present from myself on which ever sub-server you choose.
How to get your present?
I will mail you in the lobby, do /mail read to check.
Thank yall! Happy voting!
If you have any questions feel free to message me on Twitter, in game, pm on forums, or just simply post it here.
If every one plays this game, I will continue to host it, even after May.

The haunted houses were sure scary! Good work building things that made us want to cry in fear. After carefully taking stairs and falling into more than one lava pit, the entries have been judged. Congrats to the winners!



And finally, all participants who finalized their plots with /plot done will receive 100 tokens.

Thanks to everyone who took part in creating some really scary builds for this contest! (Share some of your candy with Husker!)
