      <content:encoded><![CDATA[For those of you who are unaware, the MineZ development team has been hard at work at our next big feature involving settlements. &nbsp;What are settlements? &nbsp;They are locations on that map that players can work together to rebuild for various perks, including a food source, water source, ability to repair, and much more. &nbsp;Settlements are ruled by a settlement leader, who is elected once every two weeks by a popular vote of the members of that settlement.<div><br></div><div>This should add a fun political aspect to MineZ, but also give players a place to call home. &nbsp;While the specific details of settlements are still being hammered out, we are excited for this feature. &nbsp;We expect to roll this out in the next couple of months, and it should add a lot of late-game play for those who have already obtained iron armor and beat a handful of giants.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Stay tuned to this page for more updates on settlements.</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>Juicetra approached Lazertester and I about a month ago about an idea. &nbsp;He was a huge fan of The Hidden: Source, and once we played a few games of it we thought it was pretty awesome too. &nbsp;Could we bring a game as unique as The Hidden to the world of Minecraft? &nbsp;The short answer. &nbsp;Yes. &nbsp;The long answer. &nbsp;Hell yes.</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ghostcraft.net"><img src="http://files.enjin.com/280949/images/gcLOGOSITE.png" alt="" style="border: none; " width="400"></a><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Introducing Ghostcraft. &nbsp;Lazertester, Juicetra, and I have taken the idea and morphed it into a crazy, Minecraft inspired experience that takes on some of the unique pieces of The Hidden while expanding it in a Minecraft direction, all the while pouring in some of our own influences into the game. &nbsp;This effort is by far our most impressive work, with some of the custom plugins by Lazer doing things never seen before in a Minecraft mod. &nbsp;I'll give you a little teaser: &nbsp;Hello Shotbow.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">We are finishing up the final usability pieces of the mod soon, and players can expect a beta similar to the original MineZ launch in the next couple of days. &nbsp;Interested? You can register over at <a href="http://www.ghostcraft.net">www.ghostcraft.net</a> and we will shoot out an email when it is ready to go. &nbsp;Get excited guys, not only is this game incredibly addicting, the things we have learned from it are going to translate into some awesome things for both LMS and MineZ. &nbsp;Happy gaming!</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Enjoying MineZ? Try out a couple of our other servers.</title>
      <pubDate>Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:21:00 -0500</pubDate>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[First, there is Last Man Standing. &nbsp;This is a Survival Games style experience that uses the core MineZ plugins but pits you against up to 45 other players in a battle royale, zombie killing, only-one-can-survive mode. &nbsp;You earn points by killing zombies, players, and winning the match, which can be used to unlock very unique perks.<div><br></div><div>Interested? &nbsp;Click "Last Man Standing" right below the logo above to get started.</div><div><br></div><div>Second, there is HCFactions. &nbsp;This is the original and longest running hardcore deathban Factions server. If you die, you are banned for three days (psst, the first ban appeal is free though!). &nbsp;Sound insane? It is. &nbsp;But if you know every mistake could be your last, it is a truly thrilling experience. &nbsp;The server runs on a complete custom Factions plugin which adds events such as King of the Hill, but also adds "Finite Power", which is a special power source gained through events and PvP that ultimately decides the winner of the map.</div><div><br></div><div>Interested? &nbsp;Visit the website at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.hcfactions.net">http://www.hcfactions.net</a></div><div><br></div><div>We hope you are enjoying MineZ and we look forward to continue to bring you exciting game modes and new features. &nbsp;Good hunting, survivors.</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Want to try out a Factions server?</title>
      <pubDate>Thu, 13 Sep 2012 16:20:00 -0500</pubDate>
      <link>http://www.minez.net/home/article/1006231/m/7729647</link>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Many of you may not know this but the MineZ team also runs the HCFactions server. HCFactions is a hardcore death ban Factions server, which means when you die you are banned for 72 hours. This sounds crazy at first, but it adds incredible meaning to every life you have. Even if you have played on a Factions server before, HCFactions has a completely rewritten factions plugin from scratch with something called "Finite Power" allowing factions to win the map by beating events, a dynamic King of the Hill system, arena system, and will soon incorporate RTS style features into base building. I encourage you to go try it out if you need a break from your latest MineZ death and see if it fits your style.<div><br></div>Want to try it out? Visit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.hcfactions.net" title="this website">http://www.hcfactions.net</a>&nbsp;or connect to the server directly using smp.hcfactions.net. &nbsp;However I suggest viewing the website first and going through the various guides. &nbsp;HCFactions is an incredibly difficult server, but is very rewarding. &nbsp;The time spent learning the various aspects of the server pay off in greatly increasing your survival time. &nbsp;If you die, you can head to the website and do a ban appeal. &nbsp;Your first ban appeal is granted automatically, so you get a second chance as a new player.<div><br><div>Thank you for all your support and we look forward to continuing to bring you new, exciting features to MineZ. Happy zombie hunting.</div></div>]]></content:encoded>
