<div style="width: 500px; text-align: center" align="center">The Minecraft Division has been busy this past month with a bunch of server-related updates and changes to its leadership team.
<hr width=75%>
<img src="http://storage.edge-gamers.com/news/mc/russoskin.png" align=left width="50px">First, we are glad to welcome back Russo, who re-joined the Minecraft Leadership team this past week. He will be directing our recruiting efforts within the Division and the creation of our new recruitment team. Be sure to send him a big congratulations on his promotion.
*Anyone interested in learning more about our new recruitment program may send a message to Russo to ask for more details.

<img src="http://storage.edge-gamers.com/news/mc/coins.png" align=left width="50px">By popular request, we have also reintroduced our money-based economy. "Schrutes" can be earned either by voting or pending time on our Minecraft server. While you can learn more about voting below, you will receive 10 coins for every 10 minutes played in the server.
With these coins, you can buy items at other players shops or become an entrepreneur by creating you own. You will also be able to purchase items at our Factions Admin Shop as well as some other new features, all of which are arriving soon.
We are currently having a CONTEST to rename our currency. Post your suggestion over in our Division Discussion forum. The winner of the contest will receive 5000 coins.

<img src="http://storage.edge-gamers.com/news/mc/voteforus_small.png" align=left width="50px">Voting for our server is very important. Unlike most eGO-supported games, Minecraft does not have a public server browser built into the game. We rely heavily on external sites to get our name pushed to potential players. You can help the growth of our server and our Division by voting for our server once a day on the four websites we list on our discussion forum. Even if you do not play on our server, but still have a Minecraft account, you will be able to vote for our server once a day.
In return for your support, you will receive 100 coins for each vote you cast.
Vote #1 | Vote #2 | Vote #3 | Vote #4

The Factions world has been reset! We invite everyone to give our Factions world another go if you have played it in the past, or if you are new to the world, try out the Factions game type. We have overhauled how Factions works on our server after our first "live test."
Notable Changes:
We are very excited for the relaunch of Factions, and hope that everyone will give it a try. Compared to vanilla Minecraft, Factions is a completely different game type that will put you in a large scale player versus player environment fighting for land control.- Each player will now have a max power of 4
- Players gain 1 power per hour
- Limit of 5 players per faction
- Inactive players will be removed from their faction after 10 days
- A new central spawnpoint has been created in the center of the Factions world
- A safe-zone will be coming soon allowing everyone to open their own shops
- Random Teleport has been removed
- Dynamic Map has been re-added to show each Faction's claims, but will hide player locations.
