**"Middle East"** is an upcoming iteration that is expected to be launched at some point during August. Shilled and previously teased as a dedicated Middle East/Iran War server, effectively a more modern redux of [[middle_east|i31]], many members of the community have expressed confusion at what looks more like a Euro-centric server than anything else((

i44 is releasing off of a fairly notable year long break in /int/crafts. The hosts, who have not released their identities as of yet, have developed forks of nodes, xc, and xv for 1.21.11, and plan to add a number of new features, including an economy system and data centers. Enthusiasm for the server seems fairly high as of now, and various groups and players have announced their intent to play as most major countries present in the crop.
