Back in 2015, we announced a gamemode we were working on called Olympus. Progress on that project came to a halt, and never picked back up again.
We started working on the project again a couple months ago, and are now ready to announce it!
What is Olympus?
Olympus is based off the modern Prison gamemode, with lots of new aspects and twists.
There are 20 Olympus Mines, you start out at Mine 1.
To reach the next mine, you have to first earn a certain amount of money, and then complete a specific challenge for that Mine. These challenges could be anything from killing a boss, completing a parkour, mining a certain type of block, solving a maze or puzzle, etc.
When you reach Mine XX (TITAN), you'll be given the opportunity to REBIRTH.
When you Rebirth, you can complete a quest for one of the 12 Olympian Gods
Once you've completed the quest, you will be reborn, set back to the Peasant rank, and back in Mine 1.
However, you will now have the perks and blessing of the Olympian you completed the quest for. You can repeat this process to gain the perks of all 12 Olympian Gods, and become a God yourself.
[You can continuing the rebirth process even after you have all 12 Olympian perks/bonuses]
Some features:
▲ Level up your pickaxes & mining level in the 20 mines. Every block you mine = 1 Mana. Spend Mana by right clicking your pickaxe and buying upgrades, boosts, enchantment upgrades, & lots more
Some things in Mana Shop will require specific mining levels to buy.
Mining level will also be displayed next to your name in tab, and leveling up will become exponentially harder
☁ Rebirth - Once you reach the TITAN rank and Mine 20, you are given the opportunity to complete a quest for one of the Olympians. If you complete one of the quests, you will be reborn as a peasant (rank reset) with new bonuses and perks
You can repeat this process even after you have all 12 Olympian bonuses

(Screenshots turned out a little dark. High quality renders coming soon)
Release date:
There's about 50 hours of work left for me to do, which I'm hoping to get done by next weekend and then release a beta version of the server to the QA Team. We'll then announce a release date 2-3 days after that
(The server will hard reset on public release, don't worry about QA team getting a head start)
Yeah, if you're banned on the server, you're banned on Olympus. Global bans are like that, since if you get caught breaking a rule on one server, you'll most likely get globally banned (only a couple rules are exceptions :p ). Same goes to mutes. Bans/mutes never get reset, either. xD However, if you wish, you can always appeal your ban on the forums ( http://forums.manacube.com/forums/ban-appeals/ ) or purchase an unban ( https://store.manacube.com/category/974722 ), assuming you aren't on the no-unban blacklist. Hope this answered your question. ;) <3
