As of today, Darkmoon Hollow SMP has officially entered Season 1. This season marks the true beginning of the server’s long-term journey and will run through the end of this year.

Darkmoon Hollow is built around the idea of evolving worlds and shifting history. Each year, the server will undergo a full seasonal reset, where the current world is archived, and a brand-new world is generated. This keeps exploration fresh, prevents stagnation, and allows the story of the Hollow to continually evolve.

More detailed information, updates, and archives can always be found on the website.

What Season 1 Is About

Season 1 is focused on foundation and discovery. This is the era where players establish themselves, uncover the land’s secrets, and begin shaping the future lore of Darkmoon Hollow.

This season emphasizes:

• Exploration of a newly generated world

• Community-driven storytelling

• Long-term builds that define the season’s history

• Player choices that influence future seasons

Nothing is rushed — Season 1 is designed to grow naturally over time.

Key Features of Season 1

️ Fresh World & Exploration

• A completely new world filled with custom terrain, ruins, and hidden locations

• Encouraged exploration of distant regions, not just spawn-centered gameplay

• Discovery-based progression rather than forced paths

Lore & Story Elements

• Scattered lore books, ruins, and environmental storytelling

• Ongoing narrative tied to the Darkmoon Hollow and its ancient forces

• Player actions may become canon events referenced in future seasons

Community & Economy

• A central spawn hub serving as a meeting place for trade and interaction

• Player-driven economy with shops, services, and settlements

• Cooperation is encouraged, but conflict and rivalry are part of the world’s story

Long-Term Progression

• No pay-to-win systems

• Progress is earned through gameplay, exploration, and collaboration

• Builds, factions, and legends grow over the course of the season

Seasonal Reset System (Important)

At the end of each year, Darkmoon Hollow SMP will reset for a new season:

• The world is fully wiped and regenerated

• Players start fresh in a brand-new land

• Past seasons are treated as history and lore, not erased mistakes

This system ensures:

• No world becomes overcrowded or exhausted

• New and returning players always have a fair start

• Each season feels meaningful and distinct

Some elements (such as lore references, community records, or special acknowledgments) may carry forward symbolically into future seasons.

What Happens After Season 1 Ends

When Season 1 concludes:

• A new season begins with a brand-new world

• New themes, lore arcs, and discoveries may be introduced

• The story of Season 1 becomes part of Darkmoon Hollow’s recorded history

Every season is a new chapter, not a replacement for the last.

The Path Forward

Darkmoon Hollow SMP is not just a server — it’s an evolving world shaped by the people who play on it. Season 1 is your chance to:

• Leave your mark on the land

• Become part of the server’s living history

• Help define what Darkmoon Hollow will become

We have recently observed an increase in accounts being created on this website that remain inactive and are not used for their intended purpose. While account registration is open to all, creating accounts without engaging with the platform creates unnecessary clutter and impacts overall system management.

Account creation should be done with the intent to participate, use available features, or engage with the content provided. Repeatedly creating accounts and leaving them unused offers no benefit to the community and places avoidable strain on moderation and maintenance processes.

To ensure the platform remains organized, efficient, and accessible, we may begin reviewing and removing inactive or unused accounts created without clear purpose. This helps us maintain accurate records and a better experience for active users.

If you are interested in being part of this platform, we encourage meaningful participation and responsible use of a single account. Thank you for helping us keep the site professional, streamlined, and focused on genuine engagement.
