Tiers reset & update
Hello everyone,
6 months ago, our tiers system was released. Upon releasing tiers, we warned that tiers would be reset at the end of the tier period (6 months). That time has now come!
All players have now been reset back to 0 credits. Due to an error with the tier reset processing system, lifetime tiers have not been set for those who have obtained them last season. More information about this matter is available in the #tiers-announcement channel on our Discord server and can be viewed by all players who previously claimed their tier rank on Discord.
Along with the reset, we have also made some changes as to how the tier system works. Credits are now issued to players at a flat rate per hour, with everyone receiving 5 credits every hour provided that they play 8 games within that hour (you must participate in a match). To clarify, playing on the Creative server does not count and you will not receive credits for building on your plot.
As such, we have updated the amount of...

New YT/YouTube rank application system
Hello everyone!
We're excited to be unveiling a new application system for the YT and YouTube rank!
This new system simplifies the process greatly - in fact, all you have to do is login with your YouTube account!
You'll need to be able to login to our account portal (https://account.nethergames.org). If you haven't done this before, check out this tutorial made by Casper.
Once logged in, go to "Account Settings" and click the grey "Apply for YT/YouTube" button towards the bottom of the page. You'll be redirected to Google's servers where you will be prompted to login with your Google (YouTube account).
After logging in to your Google/YT account, click "Allow" to grant our system access to read your YouTube channel's details. We use these details to check your channel eligibility.
If the system has validated your eligibility, you'll be prompted to confirm your...

New proxy system
Hey everyone!
You may have noticed that over the past few hours that some of our servers have been either laggy or randomly restarting, resulting in an unpleasant experience. We know that this is frustrating, but we can assure you that it's all worth it!
Today, we're happy to announce our new proxy system! Our lead developer, Dries, has been busy working on this new system, which allows us to transfer players extremely quickly from one server to another. It eliminates the long wait/getting stuck on transfer screens and giving you more time to play the games you love.
Note that for the proxy to work, you must join NetherGames through the main IP (play.nethergames.org). If you're connecting to one of our servers using a direct connect IP (e.g. sw.nethergames.org), the fast transfer system will not work and you will be forced to use the old transfer system (loading screens & long wait times).
Our new proxy is still running in beta, which means you may experience some issues. If...

Discord breach incident
Hello NetherGames players,
In the afternoon on Easter Sunday (21st April 2019) Australian Eastern Standard Time our Discord server suffered a minor security breach in which a former server developer's account was used to prune roughly 1800 members from the server.
At this point, we can confirm that no user information has been leaked, stolen or used in a damaging manner as a result of this minor breach. It does not affect any in-game or forums players and users.
New users who have registered on our Discord server after 4pm AEST are not affected by this incident.
We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this incident may have caused to our Discord users. We are currently conducting a full investigation into this breach and taking necessary steps to prevent a similar incident from reoccurring in the future. We urge everybody who was previously a member of our Discord server to rejoin using our Discord invite link - ngmc.co/d
