Our science team has finally stabilized the final portal in Atlantis. Exploratory teams have found the cause of the devastation of the previous civilization was indeed from beyond the portal. We will only have one chance to protect this new world from this threat, and we need you to help us! Saturday, October 15th, 2016, the Atlantis End Portal will be opened. At that time, we will launch an attack on the End Dragon, in an effort to protect our new world from destruction. We need brave adventurers to join us in this assault. Please, chose your equipment carefully, as many deaths are expected and you will likely lose any equipment you take through the portal. The portal will be opened at 10AM PDT/MST, 11AM MDT, Noon CDT, 1PM EDT or 6PM BST. (Check your own time here, http://everytimezone.com/#2016-10-15,300,cn3 )
Aw man, I don't have gear yet. But, I have a question. Are we going to be allowed to respawn the dragon? Also, will there be a way to get elytra other than exploring(saying as there aren't that many End cities and approximately only half of them have ships). Thanks!
That's why there is a link at the bottom of the post to check the time against your current time-zone.
Those of you thinking about using OP gear, I'd suggest Plan B. The dragon is powerful enough to take you and your fancy gear out quickly, and you may never recover it. I'm planning on unenchanted iron armor and a normal bow and arrows...plus running all the time.
