Otheryia Update Series — Part 1

The beginning of a major wave of server revamps. New systems, new content, and a stronger foundation for the future.

Otheryia Update Series — Part 1

Welcome to the first post in the Otheryia Update Series — a multi-part series documenting the biggest revamp in Otheryia’s history. We’ve been working behind the scenes for months, and we’re finally ready to start rolling out changes.

Why the Revamp?

Otheryia has grown significantly over the past year. What started as a small Cobblemon server has grown into a community of thousands of players. With that growth came technical debt, outdated systems, and features that no longer served our players well.

This update series is our commitment to building a better Otheryia — one that’s faster, fairer, and more fun.

Part 1 Highlights

New Spawn Area

The spawn has been completely rebuilt by our build team. Key features of the new spawn:

  • Central Garden Plaza — a relaxing hub with fountains and Pokémon roaming freely
  • Gym District — all 8 gyms are now accessible from spawn via a dedicated district
  • Trainer Market — a permanent market area for player shops
  • Pokémon Center — a fully functional healing station at spawn

Cobblemon Upgrade

We’ve upgraded to the latest version of Cobblemon, bringing:

  • Over 100 new Pokémon added to the spawn tables
  • Improved battle animations
  • New move animations for signature moves
  • Fixed numerous Pokémon AI pathfinding issues

Staff Team Expansion

We’ve brought on 4 new moderators and 2 new builders to help manage the growing community. Applications are always open — check the Discord for details.

What’s Coming in Part 2?

Part 2 will focus on the economy system — a complete rebalance of trading, shops, and vote rewards. Stay tuned!
