Made much progress today on the migration. Now the only problem is networking and Port Forwarding. We've never had issues with it before but this is the only thing standing in our way. I thank those players who haven't lost complete faith in us, but we REALLY are trying to get this off the ground... Just to prove that progress has been made, the IP ADDRESS of the new server should be as follows (Once it is up of course): 98.228.71.2:25565. Please don't loose hope. We haven't forgotten about it by any means and should be up in no time.
It's a day worth celebrating! After hours among hours of work, the migration is (I believe) COMPLETE! And we kept the same IP! :biggrin.gif:
Now, there will be a test map up for a day or two until activity on the server confirms that the migration was a success, but i assure you all that the wait is finally over and i thank those who have kept faith in us. Again, the migration is suspected to be a full success. That's all the news for now.

PCZombie, Curiouz, & lolsacopter will be added to the whitelist. We are eager to complete our small list of things to complete before going back online. We are also working diligently, so it shouldn't be long and everyone should be able to log back in. A lot of changes are taking place at the moment and i think everyone will like some of the new things that we have to offer. Check back soon to see if we are done with our maintenance!
Yeah sorry about the wait, we are working on some key things in order to protect the server from griefing and other trivial things. Please bear with us as we try to get some things squared away before we can open the server back up to those who have recently been whitelisted.

#Reason for Applying. I am trying to find a SMP sever. I am getting a little bored with just playing single player.
#Your Experience With SMP. Little, I have logged into some, tried to set up my own. I have some photos of things I have built in SinglePlayer if needed.
#How often you plan to be on the server. (Daily, Weekly, Monthly?) At least weekly, if not daily.
Curiouz & Thezombie: We have finished the prep work enough to finally allow you to join. I'm terribly sorry for the delay. So you will be whitelisted; however unable to build for a short while. Take this time to tour the place, read the rules, and get to know the territory and when an admin or myself meets up with either of you on the server then we will give you user's status to build outside the city limits. We here at MCAD hope to see you both soon!
Purpleebchan: I would be quite interested in seeing some of the photos of things that you have built. It may help you in gaining trust and status in MCAD rather rapidly. Just post them to this forum thread and i will be delighted in seeing those. I hope to hear from you soon!

Purpleebchan: WOW! I absolutely love them! We definitely value your artistic ability and i see that you will rise rather quickly here at MineCraft AD! I love that aesthetics matter to you, because they matter to me. I'll whitelist you ASAP!
In other news, as we are still in some minor development and tweaking stages, i've found a better plugin to use for our area-based protection. I should be working on it soon, but possible (Very Short) downtimes are expected. I'll keep everyone updated.
Hey! So if you may read this before I see anyone on server I have a few questions.
1. I was building my house in town and I messed up with some glass and it gave me a warning not to break glass. O.O I was very concerned because I didn't want anyone to think I broke someone's glass.
2. How is the best way to post a question? here? in game?
3. More of an apology than a question: I was gonna leave a note on DB's house, because I thought for a moment that That would be a good idea, and I failed, and I cant get rid of it because now its protected, I'm sorry *cries*

Ravagestar: I noticed that you have been whitelisted before. Have you ever played here at MineCraft AD?
Both Articwind & Ravagestar: Please use the updated format for the whitelist application and resubmit. Sorry for the inconvenience.
An update: It has mostly been maintenance and updating here at MineCraft AD, but we seem to be close to being fully functional again. Looking up toward the future & seeing that it's bright!
Curiouz: We've noticed that you have logged in many times here at MCAD over the past week, but to no avail have you found any of our users on the server. We assure you that we are not dead (As you said) lol, but you were actually within minutes of catching someone on the server each time you logged in. Just to inform you, most of our users are in one of the following timezones: Eastern Daylight Time, Pacific Daylight Time, & New Zealand Daylight Time. You are most likely to catch one of our users/mods/ or admins on the server during the day of each of these timezones. Sorry for the inconvenience as i am sure that you are getting frustrated. We want you to be a part of MCAD's great Minecrafting experience too! Once you talk to an admin in-game, you'll be added as a user and able to build. Don't loose hope! And we hope to see you on the server soon!
We now have a new forum dedicated to MineCraft AD! It is currently under maintenance atm, but a link will be posted here on our MCForum when it is accessible. All posts and applications will be redirected to the new forum, however this thread will still be active as an advertisement method for the server. Many changes are still taking place on the server, but we'll keep this thread updated until the new one is available.
Now, there will be a test map up for a day or two until activity on the server confirms that the migration was a success, but i assure you all that the wait is finally over and i thank those who have kept faith in us.

This my current compound, after I broke away from the first home after spawn.
So we have:
The cabin, I really haven't mastered the "Cabin" look, but I am working on it.
The Main Fort, (I am having trouble with naming things) I like how I used the mossy stone. :smile.gif:
One image from inside, the lava is natural, the water isn't. I am really taking advantage of the dyed wool blocks in all of my structures now.
And the second fort. (again still thinking of names) A smaller version of the first.
And this is my current project:
Tree forts are not as easy as they seem, now that the leaves disappear.
I hope that is adequate! :biggrin.gif: I use to just do cave homes so branching out into made homes is relatively new.
In other news, as we are still in some minor development and tweaking stages, i've found a better plugin to use for our area-based protection. I should be working on it soon, but possible (Very Short) downtimes are expected. I'll keep everyone updated.
oh and more than happy to help with anything if needed :biggrin.gif:
