Everstorm obituaries

No obituaries to report, phew!

The time for Vanillish’s update is here! Or rather, it will be here tomorrow! As per server operator Yirggzmb’s instructions Joe will be updating the server to 1.19.4. If you’re a player on the server be sure to use the right game version in your client!

You can expect Vanillish to go down tomorrow, May 2nd, at noon US Central time for this update.
