This isn't all that surprising, actually. Alucard Dual Wielded if you gave it to him, so I'm not picturing this as a matter of a shock. Even OoE had dual wielding of her spells with one special.
It's good to hear though, regardless.

Another visual update for the progress on the castle. Nearing to the point where the exposed air part can be used as a boss arena. Will be putting blocks to guard against Phantom Lasers from the Moon Lord. As well as Heart generators. Still two sections of the Barrack's tower left to furnish and decorate, but that's nearly done. You can see the beginnings of what will be the next area growing down by the type of floor the Stained Glass area has. I've finished the transporters between the Castle, Helevator entrance, and the Town Transporter hub. I've left room in the Helevator Entrance for another Transporter that does down if anyone wanted to build a transporter system down to Hell. Right now all points Right can still be made connected to the Town Hub, and all points left can be made through the Castle Transporter room. So, if anyone wants to make a build in either of those directions. They're free to do so. I'm going to take a small break from construction on the tower to clean up the Dungeon a bit. But after I am done with that I intend on making the Railway look a bit more interesting. My idea was to harvest dungeon bricks from small singleplayer maps and make it look like a tunnel across the map. I'll post a preview of my intent over the Castle so people can weigh in on the idea.

It takes a LOT, of Ore to build even one. You're talking:
Luminite Bar 40
Chlorophyte Bar 40
Shroomite Bar 40
Spectre Bar 40
Hellstone Bar 40
Meteorite Bar 40
That's a lot of work.
Anyways. I'm not too keen on simply strip mining everything, which is what that drill mount is effectively for. I tend to gradually build my structures as I need them, keeping the land in mind. It's more fun that way. I'll probably rebuild parts of the environment stripped away as we get into late stages of the build, with permission. I've plans on continually expanding the castle as need and creativity strikes me to do so. Plenty of Castlevania and Bloodstained - inspired sections I can work on, but I don't want to get overbearing with my build, so I'll be taking it slow and getting approval as things start to expand out from the area I already have marked out.

I would not be ok with a Hardcore world and would really not participate in such. Also. If Leon wishes to reset the server I'd like him to dropbox a file of the current one for me to continue my work if so.
Sorry but I'm just not interested in the idea of a Hardcore world - it forces a level of meta-gaming that just does not fit my playstyle.

Jim, as much as I like that build, that would take too much alteration of stuff already in place to do it effectively, especially now as we're beginning to wire transporters.
Speaking of which! I AM doing the wiring for transporters if anyone wants to make a build and have it linked to the network. All I ask is if you want a tie-in to your build, you leave me a fairly sizable room to use as a hub.
Anyways. The Moon Lord has been killed, except the only way we've successfully done so is with using the railing system. For me that does not feel like a fun boss fight. So one of my goals is to eventually construct an Arena that will allow us to fight the Moon Lord within it and survive. However the construction for that won't be until after I finish up the base section of the tower and Train station.
I'll post an update on what construction I've got done here later today. Really liking the build so far.
It's also getting to the point where I'm taking building supplies (Stone, Tin, and other such things.) From my single player games to not deny resources from other players. (It's also easier to mine in a single player world as less distractions and weaker monsters.) So I may poof from the server from time to time to go mining.

I took a Clentaminator to all of the corruption beneath the town, though there is some hollow still there that I'm hoping we can just use as a barrier to the corruption further spreading underneath us. Anyways, it's been a while working on the 'Tower' (which at this point I might just start calling a castle.) I figured I'd play with the new snapshot feature and give people in the forums a look: So far the Barracks Tower (the one on the left) is almost done with base construction. I'll want to look into other worlds for more painting and whatnot. I may paint the walls a different color later for some variance, but nothing too wild from the base stone. I'll have some time tomorrow to do some more long-term building - which will be fun. I might actually get done with base build on the section below the railway if I'm lucky.

If we're going to abandon the town on land, I'd rather spread the hollow there to prevent the Corruption from creeping in on my tower. It'd also make a good above-land farming area for things like fairy dust and whatnot.

The town, or the corruption?
Eventually, barring any serious opposition, after I am finished with the above ground tower, I'll dig beneath to make isolated catacombs so we have underground areas for each biome for farming/boss purposes. But that's far off.
I need a Drax before any of that can become possible, which means boss souls.
On a lighter note, Barricks-Tower (Small one to the left) is coming along smoothly. Provided my Open RP night on FFXIV is a dud, I may even get it done tonight. Going to need mannequins and some armor sets, as well as Beds.

Hey, heads up for those on the server. Someone spread corruption just left of the town and now its continually spreading into the town itself. While the Climator can stave off the corruption a bit, with the server continually running and with us NOT being on server continually, that can become a major problem (townsfolk move out of corrupted or crimson areas, additional monster spawns, etc.) There's also nothing stoping it from spreading further downward and around where we can spray in other areas.
We may want to isolate the town area via digging or spread hollow on the land (though that comes with its own difficulties) before the issue gets out of control.

Right now the wiring checklists are as follows:
1. On the Left side the "tunnel" leading to the desert should come with stone blocks that close off the tunnel. switches to activate and deactivate this tunnel should be positions right above the tunnel on the left side of it.
2. On the same Left Side, there should be wiring tying the two left tower (Barracks Tower is what I'm calling that one.) large doors together with switches on the inside and out. The right side doors of the same tower should be outfitted the same way as well.
3. On the right side, facing the Tree Garden, an activated block bridge should be tied to both doors as well as a switch on the inside of the door in the indoor garden, and on the other side next to the sign there should be clearly visible lever.
4. In the tiny "Pit" in front of the right door that monsters that walk from the tree line fall into, there is a series of small ledges. I plan on putting Dart Traps with floor triggers on each ledge itself and at the bottom of it place a small pool of lava.
Those are my current switch plans for what's already built.
For future plans I need Star and Heart Statues for the next stage, but that will be for the Boss area, the start of which you've seen with the crumpled pillars. Plan for that section is to have a decorated, dedicated boss area for when we want to spawn things like Mechanical bosses, Moon Lord, and whatnot.
Then starts the REALLY fun part.

I think we should totally have a big construction project in Terraria as a tribute to IGA, his previous Castlevania works and Bloodstained. As Luck said, time isn't an issue. Of course, we all have things to do in our lives, but Rome wasn't built in a day, so no need to rush things. My build is very much a tribute to that, and is a long term build. I plan on building down when I'm finished building up, and that still has a long way to go.

Yep, put that on my wishlist.
You know I've been completely ignoring the AAA market these days in favor of finding old-style games... They're cheaper, fun, they don't require as much commitment to get anywhere and they remind me of the good ole days.

I figured out the home thing before you left it, but have been too busy working on the Tower to really explore it. I'm mostly dragged into FFXIV as I'm a Guild Officer and storywriter for an Roleplay group. That tends to take up a lot of time.

Jim! You should come back. Just let us know what sort of gear you need to suit your playstyle and we'll work to get it for you!
As far as a Castlevania 1 Build in Terraria. It's been done and is on a saved map somewhere. It's been forever though and I'm not sure if it still holds up to updates.

I'm currently working on a rather large build on the server: A Tower designed stylistically. It'll feature a little tribute to the Castlevanias of Yore.
Although the next couple of days may prevent me from working on it. Busy days ahead RL wise.

I should be on sometime Later today and could use some Mage Gear. Not sure how long I'll be on though as I have an event in my FFXIV guild going on at 9pm est, which, I am hosting.
Going to need to get myself a fishing rod so I can try some accessories of my own in the biomes.

Not a fan of the meteor gear anyways. Call me weird but I'm more of the fan of the classes robe-and-book style mage stuff.

I don't want to hog stuff. Just materials that I can craft progressive mage equipment on. Like, I can forgo meteor gear in favor of like, crafted wands as they become available to make. If you guys have any spare hooks from skeletons, instead of tossing them, I'd love to have a few tossed in the communal chests at the start.

Maybe we can have a hand-me-down system or an 'item request' idea.
I literally only have an interest in mage items, crafted or otherwise. It's kind of my specialty in the way I play.

Sadly with a lot of people able to get on the servers. (Some more than others.) I'm having concerns about supplies and newbies getting geared. Having a rule requiring fresh characters means it's going to get increasingly hard for newer players or those that don't play as often to be ready when a group that wants something.
