To Members of the Valegate Community,

July has been a ground-breaking month for Valegate - one of the most transformative and exciting periods in our history. From infrastructure upgrades to new faces and a successful game mode launch, it’s clear: we’ve entered a bold new era.

After thoughtful planning and internal discussion, we made a game-changing decision:
Valegate has officially moved to a fully dedicated server.

This means complete control over our hardware, directly managed by us in a secure datacentre. No more shared hosting - just raw power, performance, and stability for our entire network.

🔧 A Massive Technical Leap Forward

Our Technical Team has worked around the clock to:

• Migrate all core gamemodes to high-performance, dedicated machines

• Transfer all backend infrastructure and services

• Upgrade architecture for long-term growth and stability

• Secure all player progress with full system backups

With hundreds of gigabytes of data involved, this was no easy feat - but it sets the stage for a better, faster, and more scalable future.

🌍 Beyond The Vale Has Officially Launched!

We were thrilled to officially launch Beyond The Vale, our brand-new survival gamemode - a completely fresh, immersive experience built from scratch. The reception has been incredible, and this is only the beginning.

In the coming weeks, we will release the official Beyond The Vale roadmap, highlighting new features, upcoming content, and long-term goals and as always encourage players to suggest new ideas via /suggest on our discord server!

A monumental thank-you goes out to everyone involved in this launch, including:

• BenSanta, now officially part of the team as our newest Developer in training, who was instrumental in helping bring Beyond The Vale online while learning the ropes

• Amps, our brilliant Technical Lead whose vision brought the technical side of this launch to life

• Rainy & Chirry, our newest Moderators, who have already made a huge impact resolving early issues and supporting the community

We also proudly welcomed Rivverrain123, who streamed the Beyond The Vale launch live and helped bring the event to life for players and viewers alike. You can expect to see much more of Rivverrain123 in the future - they’ll be a regular feature here at Valegate!
