After many long hours, we have finally got the server up to the public. Over the next day or two, the staff will continue to work on the server and fix different bugs and such. Change log will be posted shortly.
Changelog has been posted, please check the Patch Notes subforum.
I apologize for the extended downtime of the server. We hit a few problems starting with our server being down all wensday evening and some of thursday and then the mishap today. Trust me when I say we are trying our hardest to get this update out and the server back online for the community. We are looking for early afternoon for server being up and possibly sunday afternoon for the update event.
I am here to update the population of some of the recent on goings of the staff. I would like to firstly inform you that rumors you have heard are not true. TGB [TheGodlyBrit] did not turn into a dragon and we had to slay him. But in all seriousness, rumors that maybe flowing around the TGB and some of the actions of his role play are false and did not happen. This said, TheGodlyBrit is no longer part of the staff. He was asked to step down after recent and some long going events. He will remain a player on the server and remain leader of the thieves’ guild. [u]But is not part of the staff.[/u]
Replacing him as Tech Admin will be the one and only LartTyler. After being part of the server since its creation and working hundreds of hours on coding our many different plugins. I offered him the position. He accepted, so let all welcome him.
Staffing Updates: This sections is so the community knows exactly who in the staff does what.
Lead Admin— Prongs12 The Lead Admins job is to manage the community, manage the server, continue to design the server and keep the staff in check. The Lead Admin is the top of the line, all major changes to the server, rules, and lore must go through him.
Tech Admin—LartTyler The Tech Admin job is to keep Plugins up to date, server up and running, and everything else that involves plugins. He can’t make major changes without the approval of the Lead Admin. The Tech Admin’s in game roles are those of a moderator.
Moderator—Rest of Staff Members The Moderators job is to do just that. Moderator the community of the server to make sure no rules is broken and to hand out "punishments” to those who have broken rules. They also help the rest of the staff in keep the server up to date, beautiful, and fun for the community.
I hope this helps clear up some questions of the staff and other questions that you may have can be asked here.
The server will be unavailable while we perform the Ravok update. Though it will appear as online, the whitelist has been swapped to staff only, and I ask that those who are not staff do not try to connect. A post will be made once the server is available again.
Our server first serious update will be taking place this week with the official release taking place Friday with an official event to kick off the update. This update is looking to be a big fix to some problems of the server while include some new content from random dungeon ruins, hostile mobs, the Nether (Which willbe given a RP name with the release of the Update lore), fix to the economy and class balancing, bookworm, and much more. For a full list of changes and additions please keep checking the forums.
Along with the update to the actual server, we will be looking into updating to Minecraft 1.1 which will give us a few more toys to play with and help the role play of the server.
The update process will be a long one and will require the server to be down starting Thursday 12:01 a.m. CST (-6 GMT) to roughly early Friday morning. While the server is down I ask you do not attempt to connect to the server as it can mess with our files and such.
I will keep you posted as with new information as we decide to release it.
