The EpicQuestz Newsletter
ISSUE 70 - 18 May 2026
Hi everyone! A long time has passed since the previous newsletter, and we didn’t even properly wish a happy new year to you. But at-least we’re here, and I am excited to share a thousand news with you, to update you on life on EpicQuestz and what has happened in the last 7 months.
The news range from massive project progress to incredible new features/plugins that speed up the building process by orders of magnitude of time.
Let’s dive in, shall we?

About 20 new houses have been constructed, thanks primarily to @Curse who did most, if not all of them. Tobberz and I will need to look into adding more jobs to this forever project.
- Project Leader, @LimeeFox
Wait, what’s that? Only 4 jobs left?
Indeed, thanks to a synergy between our Builders, our custom Jobs plugin and Armour Stand Editor, we have been able to coordinate multiple build sessions to finish off the remaining interiors of Bree. I’d like to express a big thanks to the build team for their dedication. They have been motivated both outside of build sessions and during them to complete dozens of interiors in the past months.
At the current stage of the project, we only have a handful of interiors left to decorate, and a few hobbit holes to build. We are going to resume exterior decoration build sessions under my personal supervision soon, thus continuing on the plan to record the process in order to compile an impressive timelapse of the project at the end. @lew_yam11 has also returned on multiple occasions to supervise and work on the more important facilities such as the Prancing Pony or the city stables, which have been beautifully built by @starship and @lew_yam11.
I’d like to highlight that the quality of interiors keeps growing even when it seems like the limits of possible have been reached. The builders continue to impress me with their creativity and machinery that they design thanks to display entities.
Special thanks to @Stavrdaf @Curse @marcoiscool @Grissum1 @Rio and @Redbommer too for being motivated and for their dedication to the project.
- Project Co-Leader @LimeeFox
Progress has been slower with no build sessions committed. Between October to May, I have only established supplies for the gold mine. Next to the mine is a few sleeping areas with a combat dummy and a pot for eating. Next to that is a medical bay helped by @Starship. The dark lord reborn demands us to build this major fortress; There is much work to be done, but slow progress will be no more. As summertime passes, I will be restoring this fortress at a faster rate than before.
- A project builder, @Grissum1
I have started working on the 2nd level gate ramp. Otherwise, I have done more interior work. I’m currently focusing on the Minas Tirith update for Empire War, for which I have revisited almost every building in the city. It will also feature completely revamped mountains. Once that is done, I plan to continue with the larger version. Another video documenting the process is planned.

We have resumed our activity on Instagram. We are going to post two sets of screenshots per week. Make sure to follow us to see the new posts! https://www.instagram.com/epicquestz/
We also made a short timelapse of a little portion of Osgiliath that we were building for the Empire War LoTR Castle Siege server. You can view it on our TikTok page or on our YouTube:
We’ve updated the server to 1.21.11.
The highlight of the technical corner will be the introduction of… AXIOM!
That’s right, we’ve set up Axiom on the server for everyone to use.
Travellers now also have permission to use /plot list , to list all the plots belonging to a specific player.
There have been no new promotions.
Big time gaps between newsletters imply multiple beautiful creations to feature! Let’s not break that law and feature NUMBER builds.
First, let me feature one of WizardNet16’s plots.
But wait… What is it? ANOTHER plot by WizardNet16!
Now here’s where teamwork shined. Below, observe the streets built by Bodom_ and Anubis_builds. We found out that CursedAw0ken and LordMockingJay75 were also trusted on the plot.
And finally, LordMockingJay75’s haunted mansion.
To summarize, we’ve done significant progress on Bree by reducing the number of interiors left to decorate, and our Social Media platforms are being revived. Who knows, maybe the newsletter will too?
