Development Inquiry and Update

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 22:12:38 +0000

Hey everyone!

I wanted to give you all a quick update from my side of things, we're currently deep in development on the server, and we want to be upfront about our vision: our goal is to build a fully custom server, with little to no downloaded addons. Outside of a few necessary exceptions, everything you'll experience is being built from the ground up specifically for this project.

We've already got several custom systems in the works, but we want this to be a community-driven process. What would you like to see added? Whether it's gameplay mechanics, roleplay systems, quality-of-life features, or something totally out there, we want to hear it.

Head over to ⁠💬・server-suggestions and drop your ideas!

More teasers and information will be coming in the next few days, so keep an eye on the ⁠📷・teasers channel for both Infrastructure and Serverside teasers.

New Beta & Tester Roles

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 22:10:52 +0000

There is a new role (@Beta Supporter). This role will be given to those who support Blackwater throughout our beta/alpha phase. I imagine this role will hold some sort of special thing to it in the near future which has yet to be decided as of now but to those who are wanting it and would like to have it I will make a format for role request where you can request the Beta Supporter role.

You will not need to provide proof for this. The other role I have added which will be given out by Architects.

This is our new @Tester role which will also hold something special in the future. We hope you enjoy your stay at Blackwater Networks and enjoy yourself!
