Avicus 2.0 Update (Avicore) by swivr May 22, 2014 at 2:05 PM UTC



The Avicus 2.0 update consists of an incredible amount of changes to the server. I’m pleased with what has been accomplished in the past few months despite the seemingly slow progress on the server as far as server developments go. It’s all been mostly private until now. A big thanks to the staff for testing features and suggesting new features with Avicore and the new map developers for doing tremendous work accepting and creating new maps for everyone to enjoy on the live rotations. Without further adieu, I present to you the official list of updates, changes and new features now live on the Avicus Network servers.

Next time, please don't take Nebula down for three months. I love Avicus and all, but if you're gone for a long time, the fun leaves. I still play on it, just don't take it down again
