I have good news, the damage that happened to the server was really bad, but we have managed to restore the server and we are really happy for the results. Today we managed to restore server from July 3:rd backups, that was OK. Then SKP has been really busy working with the latest backups what were more or less damaged. Finally we managed to restore server so that the only data what is lost are from Sunday. What this basically means, "one day roll-back" and this is really, really and I mean really good.
We still have lot of work to do with server files, plugins and security. I can't give any estimated time when we are open again but we're doing it soon as possible but not in rush.
During the downtime we will be fixing bugs, introducing new plugins etc. We will work on Factions, and possibly the Prestige System. Guard kits and abilities will be adjusted, hopefully they will be simpler. We will also publish 2 more Parkour Quests made from our community players.
Hmmm... was hoping to log online and see what was going on with this place. Guess not. I might check back within a few days and see like if this is a cool server to play on permanently.
An unfortunate event has occurred but we should be back up soon enough
Hope to see the ultimate kill stealer again

Currently down for rebuild, release date will be released..... soon ish
First off I'd like to apologise for the downtime for the past few days. As Shananium correctly stated, data corruption was occurring on the server and therefore data was being lost. Thankfully we store backups of the server to minimise any damage. Despite this, all backups were damaged in one way or another so I had to salvage bits and pieces from each backup and recreate a fully working backup. This took me a long time but I wasn't prepared to let some corrupted data stop me from getting a server which has a loving community back online.
The only data lost was from Sunday, July 12.
Secondly, thank you to Shananium for keeping you all up-to-date on the forums about what was going on. I appreciate that nobody likes being left in the dark about what's going on with a server and I don't want that to become a trend.
Factions has been installed and we're in the process of testing it out to ensure it works to the expectations of our users.
The two new quests created by fearlessmaster, and pumamis and MrQuintus will be made available to everyone for a short-period of time before being limited to specific ranks (which are yet to be determined).
We're hoping to have the server open and ready at some point tomorrow on July 15.
Here are some other changes:
Guards and Senior Guards will have their own kits.
Premium users now have access to creating coloured signs.
Guard armour can no longer be picked up
Minor cosmetic changes in various areas including the courtyard
Other minor changes
From July 15 to July 19 premium and enhanced packages will also be reduced in price.
Lastly, I'd like to thank those who expressed concern about my health with staying up for over two days straight with no sleep. I'm sorry if I scared anyone and I promise I will not repeat this again.
Thanks so much to all of you who play on Prison Island and make it an enjoyment to manage. As always we will continue to expand and improve the server. If you have any suggestions or feedback please don't hesitate to leave a comment on the forums or message us in-game. We're always happy to hear what you have to say.
Hillboy90 is unable to post on this site so on his behalf im asking why my first post does not have any response and would also like to point out that Ham banned Hillboy90 on Prison Island for "roasting" him on another server. And apparently this is a good enough reason to ban someone... http://gyazo.com/0a3a03593c8f83d73fc1ccbd8c1f6790

This is too good xD He never roasted me, I am the king of spitting fire
But he was banned as a joke before he ever joined because of a conversation between people on the server.... I must not have unbanned him when I thought I did.....

How long have you been playing the server for? I don't remember 1-2 weeks everyday (except the last 3 days xP)
Any experience with the prison genre? Yes i have played on many prison servers before and love prison servers.
What's your time-zone? (GMT+2)
Why are you the best choice for guard? I have played on many servers before and knows how the rules goes, and since i used to watch the guards a lot and talk to them i know how it works, while i have asked them questions and have read the rules on this page to know most of them. In my opinion i'm pretty mature and loves to help people but feel i can't do much when for exemple, the new players get on and gets bullied by other since i don't want other guards to do anything against me, nor can i do much either when they do something behind the guards back. I don't want to become a guard to play around but to help and be able to do more then help others behind the scene like giving stuff, money, and help them if they get killed or lose something. Would love to just get a chance to become one.
Current rank? Free for the last 5-8 days
Any additional information? Since it's summer i can up between like 12 pm - 4-5 am (don't question it xP) but in 2-3 weeks i start working and won't be so active by then, in case i get a chance to become a trainee guard.
Good Player, very kind and genuine along with reliable. I recommend her for Trainee Guard. I think I can speak for all the Guards and a few Trainees when I say, we need someone like her along our side. ~ ThePhantomHD
Once upon a time, a fat worm named Tommy was trapped inside the huge Gluten Free muffin created by a evil beast, fly swatter. This wasnt no ordinary muffin though, this muffin had 27 different colours and you didnt know which flavour each colour was. Tommy began eating the muffin and started making his own burrow inside the muffin, Tommy didnt grow up in a nice city, he grew up on the suburbs of the worst city in the world,Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. he grew up with his much older siblings, Monty, who was 57 when he was born and John who was 69. John and Monty both had hard times growing up and that usually led to crime, Monty was convicted of murder because he killed the cup, Jacob. He was sentenced to 57 years in jail and was constantly visited by his brother Tommy, but Tommy hated it because they wouldnt let him speak, they often said that he had been muted, but there was only 1 person to blame for such a monstrosity, Shananium, the Finish guy.
How long have you been playing the server for? 1 day
Any experience with the prison genre? Yes of course
What's your time-zone? Central
Why are you the best choice for guard? I'm the only best decision for guard because I am very honest and trustworthy. I do my work to the best of my abilities. I love to help out new people and make them welcome. I'm a great team player, I always do what is best. That is why I am the best choice for guard! Thanks
Current rank? D
Any additional information? Previous guard not on here
-Prison is my favorite genre. I've played on many.
- I know how to handle players with contraband items. I'll make sure the don't cause the server a bad time. I also know not to abuse.
-Rank C
-I've been a mod on a server before, but it closed. This is my second time applyong .
Ok so I'm not sure what my standing as far as applications goes but I'm going to give you some advice. First spend more than 2 minutes writing your application if you can write something meaningful it can show maturity and a real want for guard. Second spell things correctly and use complete sentences it will make your application look more professional and stand out better. Third copy and paste the application from the OP and then answer directly from that it will make things much easier for everyone to understand
-How long have you been playing on the server? I have been playing for 2 days, and have already gotten used to the community and the way things have been running around here.
-Any experience with the prison genre? Yes, it is my daily go-to type of server. I've played non-op, op, and etc.
-What's your time zone? Pacific
-Why are you the best choice for guard? If I haven't explained enough already, its been said on my first application. I've seen guards and what they do to make the server a good experience to players. Its obviously not easy to become a guard, but as of now, I know this server will have a bigger community. I know the rules and what the contraband items are. I know how to handle troublemakers. You can have my trust.
-Current Rank: C
- Sorry about the spelling. I tried to correct it on my phone, but for some reason, it didn't. I hope this application has more success than the previous one.
