2 years and a new server!

July marks the 2 year anniversary for DeadLaugh and in celebration we are launching a new server with tomorrow’s wipe!

DeadLaugh was started in July 2015, by Dependable and Destiny. It was started in response to many of the servers that we felt were either too cliché, suffering from horrible admin abuse or just blatantly pay to win. We enjoyed the vanilla game play but did not enjoy the grind, we enjoyed many of the quality of life improvements included in many of the modded servers but felt the rates were way too over the top. We meticulously chose our plugins and all of the configurations to give a unique experience very few if any servers were doing at the time. We made a promise that we would never tolerate admin abuse, none of our plugin’s would modify what we felt were core vanilla game mechanics, and that we would never implement any paid features that give any sort of advantage to a player. Many players really loved the accelerated vanilla feel of DeadLaugh.

Over the last two years DeadLaugh has constantly evolved to continue to fit the current vanilla meta and consistently give players additional content to enjoy while maintaining the promise we made at the start. Some of the additional content we have added are Arenas, Clan Battles, Dueling and Dangerous Treasures. During those two years we have served 51,377 unique players. We have strived to create a stable environment that players can trust in and enjoy. We have had our ups and downs, successes and failures (cough European Server cough).

With all of the innovation and creativity put into our community, sometimes you need to look back to where it all started. DeadLaugh: Origins, the new server we will be launching, will do just that. Origins will be a throwback to a more simple time in the history of our community. We have bundled what we feel to be the core of what drew so many to our community to begin with. Here is what you can expect: 2x rates (3x at night), ½ craft, no TP, no events/arenas/duels, increased stack sizes (1/5th of the main DeadLaugh server stack sizes), clans, and our improved demolish.

Thank you for playing with us! Here is to another 2+ years!

TLDR: 2 year anniversary, launching DeadLaugh: Origins a nostalgia server sporting: 2x rates (3x at night), ½ craft, no TP, no events/arenas/duels, increased stack sizes (1/5th of the main DeadLaugh server stack sizes), clans, and our improved demolish.
