Hey all,

I recently found this nice web app / downloadable app for voice and text chat that looks like it has potential. It runs inside a web browser so no need to download anything (but has option for desktop app to be downloaded).

It has a decent list of future features coming up with some integration into games planned and the voice quality is rather good.

I am testing this as this is a way for users without skype or who do not want to give out their info to unknown people to be able to easily chat and interact with users while on our server or offline along with the option of not having to download anything to your computer (so can use at school possibly)

Let me know what you think of it, currently we haven't much perms or things set up on it but its more for testing now until.

Hello there peoples of Athion!

To get into the Christmas spirit, we're giving away a free 3 months of pets in our hub servers, worth $35! Use the discount code "AthionXmasPrezzie" after placing the item "PetsPetsPets!" in your cart to obtain some pets :D

Merry Christmas,

~Athion

Well it has been ONE year since we opened our doors to the public and we have had a great time. We have gone through a lot of issues from losing some older members of both parent servers along with a big ownership change. BUT we are still here and moving along as always.

We have decided to offer a 15% discount on all VIP packages for our birthday and this sale ends on the 20th December 2015. (forum people get a one day head start on the sale due to seeing this message!)

Along with this we will or the community may be holding events in-game to celebrate our birthday up until Christmas time, so keep an eye on our twitter for more details.

Head over to store.athion.net to see our sale!

Since Plug.dj shut down there has been a lack in places to chill out, listen to music with friends and well play games...

So with much searching we have decided to go with Dubtrack.fm until a better alternative comes up.

Sign up to the site and hop on https://www.dubtrack.fm/join/athion-network

Same general rules as plug apply;

- keep songs shortish
- don't have abusive content (mainly excessive cussing, racial slurs and very sensitive topics)

If people are getting out of hand post in this thread with proof.

Suggested extensions (auto woot, better chat and stuff)

For this contest you will be competing in teams of 1-6 players to create the best project that represents Halloween, and horror. You can take a modern feel, or go back to its rots of evil demons and spirits. Let your dark imagination take control and create an epic build!

The plots will be, yet again, smaller (300 x 300) and a completely flat canvas, so you're able to create a fully custom project without limitation!

Good luck, and happy building! We can't wait to be given nightmares from all of your devilish plots!!
