Greetings, Valegate Community!
This is an important development update regarding the future of our Survival gamemode and the next chapter of Beyond The Vale.
Over the past several months, the Beyond The Vale team has been working behind the scenes planning a major transformation for the server. Today, we are excited to officially share the direction we are heading, what is changing, and what this means for the community moving forward.
📢 Team Update
It is with great sadness that we share that our Technical Lead, Amps, has decided it was time to move on. Amps played a key role in shaping the technical foundations of Beyond The Vale, and we want to sincerely thank him for the time, effort, and passion he dedicated to the project.
On behalf of myself and the entire staff team, we wish him nothing but the best in whatever comes next.
We want to assure everyone that this change does not affect our plans for Beyond 2.0. Development is continuing as planned, and I am working around the clock alongside our dedicated staff team to ensure everything stays on track. Moving forward, I will be assuming full responsibility for our technical infrastructure once more.
📌 Renaming the Current Server
Effective immediately, our current Beyond The Vale gamemode has been renamed to Survival.
This world has always functioned as a semi-vanilla survival experience enhanced with quality-of-life features. Renaming it helps clarify expectations for new players and creates a clean distinction between classic gameplay and what Beyond The Vale is evolving into.
What stays the same:
✔ All builds
✔ All progress
✔ All community creations
✔ All memories
Survival now becomes the foundation for classic gameplay, while the name Beyond The Vale is freed for something far bigger.
