📖Our Values

We are a group of people with the ambition of creating something new and unique. We are always committed to putting quality work into gameplay. We love listening to community feedback and creating something that people enjoy.
Here are some of the values that we have pledged to:

• Community voice & transparency
  • We are fully committed to creating an environment where the community is heard. Anyone is welcome to provide suggestions, discuss them, and vote on them. We give updates to pending suggestions and are fully transparent about decisions made on the development of the server, as well as the reasonings. If there are any major changes up for debate, they will be voted on by the whole community.
• Huge range of free-to-choose playstyles
  • There are so many different ways to play and progress on the server, thanks to the wide range and combinations of abilities, stats, and custom items. For instance, you are up to what path they take on abilities. They can focus on ranged abilities for the perfect mage build, abilities that empower melee attacks for the maximum melee damage output, healing and damage resistance for support potential, and so much more! There are also 7 different stats you can level up to help them progress on the server, including strength, dexterity, intelligence, health, stamina, resistance, and criticals. HexArchon also provides a massive catalog of custom items each with unique skills to choose from many different play styles and builds. There are different weapon types such as long swords and greatswords that provide slow but heavy hits, daggers for fast and high DPS, staffs and other magic items for mage capabilities, and many different bows for ranged play styles.
  • Does all of this seem too complicated? No problem! You are free to play casual survival, even with cosmetics such as custom-modeled furniture, pets, decorative heads, and a shop containing a huge category of building blocks and items to enhance your builds. What’s great is that these are all optional additions - there is nothing preventing you from enjoying Vanilla Minecraft.
• Trust & respect
  • We are committed to being transparent, honest, and a group that you can personally trust. We will help players out, enforce rules if needed, and even have casual discussions.
• Dedicated updates
  • We are always looking forward to adding new and fresh content to the server for an always-improving experience on HexArchon. This ranges from anything such as new items, mobs, boss fights, dungeons, and frequently, ideas from the community.

🎮Gameplay Mechanics

• Custom Mobs - We take pride in the distinctive traits of each mob. Each of our custom mobs are drafted and developed from scratch, featuring their own unique skills and behaviors. There are over 200 different custom mobs in total.
  • Regular Mobs
  • There are plenty of custom mobs that spawn across the Overworld, Nether, and End, with unique traits including attacks and skills. Custom mobs can drop money, exp, ability points, and custom materials for crafting custom items!
  • World Bosses
  • You may also encounter mini-bosses when exploring. Mini bosses have a lot more health than regular mobs and have more challenging attacks than normal custom mobs. They also drop larger amounts of money, exp, ability points, and can drop custom materials and even exclusive items!
  • Mini Bosses
  • World bosses are bosses that can be summoned in the Overworld, Nether, and End. They may require teamwork to defeat as they have a lot of health and are more difficult than other bosses. World Bosses can drop custom materials used to craft exclusive, high-tier items.
  • Arena Bosses
  • Arena bosses can be challenged solo or with up to 4 players. You will encounter bosses of varying difficulties as you progress, so watch out! Defeat the arena bosses to unlock new regions to explore.
• Custom Items - There are many different types of custom items you can obtain. There are different weapon types for each category of weapons. Melee weapons include swords, katanas, daggers, long swords, greatswords, thrusting swords, spears, greatstaffs, hammers, and axes. All item types have varying attributes; for instance, daggers can sustain high DPS due to their fast attack speed, and greatswords have slow attack speeds but high damage per-hit. Magic weapons include staffs, catalysts, wands, and consumables. All custom items have unique abilities that you can use and even combo with other abilities. Custom items can also be upgraded and have runes applied to them to enhance them even further.
• Custom Enchants - There are more than 240 custom enchantments all geared toward unique builds and uses. There are a huge variety of ways to obtain custom enchantments. They can be obtained from the shop with in-game money, enchanting tables, villager trades, dungeon loot chests and completion rewards, crates, fishing, supply drops, daily rewards, and server events. Enchantments can be upgraded and stacked onto multiple armor pieces to grant even more power.
• Dungeons - Unlock and explore dungeons to discover ruins and obtain various exclusive loot! Complete various objectives and battle with gatekeepers, mini-bosses, and defeat the final boss to complete the dungeon! There are many hidden side objectives as well, so keep your eyes out!
• Quests - There are more than 180 quests of varying types and difficulties. There are three varying difficulty levels of daily quests that each include a full-completion bonus. There are repeatable quests that you can start and finish at any time. There are also hardcore quests that may take a lot of effort to accomplish, but pay out the most. Each quest may ask you to locate and slay certain mobs, mine ores, interact with mobs, defeat varying levels of bosses, and much more.
• Abilities - Obtain points from slaying custom mobs and bosses, and use them to unlock and upgrade abilities! Some abilities may contribute to a ranged mage build, a close-range melee build, or any build that you want!
• Stats - Use XP to upgrade 7 different stats of your character! Stats can grant boosters to your abilities and custom items, such as attack damage, cooldown reduction, health/mana regeneration, attack speed, and much more.
• Auto Farms - Auto farms can be bought and utilized to ease the management of your farms. They feature upgrades such as crop growth speed, radius, and collection bin size. Make sure to keep them fueled!
• Furnaces - Furnaces can be enchanted to grant them special attributes. This includes increased smelting speeds, smelting multipliers, fuel duration, and fuel conservation.

Any recommendations for clubs that play throwback hits specifically pop and maybe emo from the 2000s/2010s? I love dancing and I care a lot about the music. I don’t drink so that aspect doesn’t really matter too much. Preferably closer to West LA and 18+ but not mandatory

Reddit is jumping the shark (API charges, IPO). Facebook is toxic. Where else do locals share or find the latest? I don't mind checking websites and papers like Good Times for the club grid, and also like to find out about things off my radar.

My night club produces neither for "pharmaceutical research" nor for "money management". All night club technicians are at work and both MC plants are active, but out of supplies. I remember in the past you didn't have to actually use the establishments to use the night club, have they changed that with the latest updates?

Today, I put out a song and I'm just looking for some feedback, particularly about the mix but I welcome all your thoughts on this. Quite frankly, I'm not even sure what genre to classify this as but my best guess would be some sort of bro-core with some pop elements.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQI7Jy_TB5c
I've been making and recording music on and off for years but only recently got seriously back into it so any tips or things I could improve would help me out a lot.
Thanks for your time!

Throwaway because my GF knows of my main account.
So I was out at a gay club last night, at one point I was on my own and I was approached by a friendly seeming gay guy. I explained that I was straight but he was persitently hitting on me, he pointed at his cheek and I thought that if I kissed him maybe he would leave me alone, which I admit is probably not very clever. But being a pushover and a little intoxicated I did, then he indicated that I do it again but this time as I went to kiss his cheek he turned his head and our lips touched. I know right, I fell right into it, anyway after this I stopped entertaining him and he finally left me alone.
I recounted the story to my GF (we've been dating almost 6 months), she felt it was my fault for encouraging him, I feel that I never consented to kissing him on the lips although I was very naive in the situation. I let that slide. Later in my conversation with my GF I brought up wanting to kiss her (we are doing long distance) she then asked who is a better kisser, herself or the person that groped me?
Am I right in feeling it's a bit gross and that she shouldn't be jealous in this situation?
Thank you for reading. I'm not sure groping is the right term but it's the best word I can think of.
TL,DR I got groped and my girlfriend is jealous of the guy that groped me.

I feel like the dresser doesn’t really suit the room and it’s in a weird spot, so I was considering replacing it with a darker wood dresser. And maybe placing the mirror vertically in the far corner (where the two blue vinyls are).
Overall I really like how it looks but I’m looking for feedback on how to make it super cozy, welcoming, and interesting.

I took a short break from Overlord 3 years ago or so and basically forgot a bunch of stuff including where I left off and I don't know where to start reading again.
I remember I stopped reading around the time Ainz went on some expedition in the mountains or inside some cave in the mountains due to some rumors he heard and massacred some dragons. It was some time after the whole princess club thing wrapped up.
Does anyone have any clue as to which volume I might be referring to? I want to pick it up again
