First, I would like to apologize for the amount of time I have had to spend away from the server. Work has really occupied most of my time over the past month or so. Don't worry, I still paid the bills. Now for the important stuff.
We have just updated to 1.7. Please keep in mind that this will have very little effect on the server. New items are not currently available and new biomes won't be in the world. We are currently running an "unsupported" build. If you are unfamiliar with what this is, all it means is that it allows clients to access the server that are running 1.7 without adding any (most) of the new features.
So why update if it doesn't do anything? Well there are many reasons. The most important is that it will allow us to test and troubleshoot plugins that may or may not work with the update. We can do this over a longer period of time rather than trying to do it all in 1 day. The other reason is that new players will be searching for 1.7 servers, not 1.6.4. I think we can all agree that we could use some new faces around here. I always get asked to start advertising, etc... Well, I do. (For example: https://minestatus.net/). If you really want to help (and can't donate), please vote. That's really the best thing you could do for the server. Last month we finished around #320 on minestatus. I would like to do better this month.
I've heard a lot of rumors about a map reset on the 10th. I don't know who started that, but it is completely false. There will be a map reset in the near future, however, I don't have an exact time frame. We need to wait on other folks to make updates first, that is out of our control. We will give you a heads up (probably a 5-day notice) when we are ready to reset the map. This only applies to the main world outside of spawn. Factions wont be touched. We will also be opening the old transfer stations as soon as possible. These will only cost $10 in-game money. They are really intended for players that don't own a plot. Again, the only area that will be affected is the world outside of spawn. All ranks, money, items, plots, etc will stay exactly how it is.
With all that being said, there will be bugs/errors. There always is. Please be patient over the next week or so while we try to sort it out. For example, right now the chat color is messed up where a second line of text changes to white. So instead of having players chat multi-colored, I just changed it all to white. This is only temporary. If you notice anything that could possibly "break" the server, please contact an Admin or Chat Mod as soon as possible. Any other issues or bugs, please post them on the forums.
So i cant connect on my or my brothers account... It looks like the server was updated to 1.7.2... Im getting multiple different errors and cant point it to an issue on my side, I'm guess the server side must be having problems....
custom death screen mod for smp that shows your cords like the minimap, i cannot remember who it was that banned me if it was axios or armoral but thats the same sort of evidence that Adeltoft had against me so is anything going to be done?
Hey i bought a unban yesterday around 16 hours ago and im still not unbanned when can i expect a unban ?
During purchase you should have seen a notice that says it could take up to 24 hours to complete. Seeing as you purchased it 16 hours ago, I guess I still have 8 hours.
No, says the dood that spawned in items and had access to OP for about a month* Have a good time wasting your life on here, I know I feel terrible about losing about a year to this server too.
You were never OP, but thanks for checking in on us.
I don't know how I approve of newbie treatment on this server. I asked for help, nobody helped me until the THIRD time I asked and the explanation was extremely brief.
I also was asking the guard to show me where the PvP area started, and he jailed me for drugs. I didn't even know how the server worked.
Is this how you treat your new players? I don't think you'll be seeing me on this server again.
Dear Shawn,
I was indeed on skillcheese's account during the time that when everything was said. I said everything. In no way should skillcheese be punished for the doing. Skill is a good guy and I think you unban him. I don't see anything that he did wrong. I no longer have access to that account so you don't have to worry about me coming on and talking trash or doing anything. We have our past and I probably won't every be unbanned for what I did, but I would like to ask for you to do one thing for me. I would like you to unban skillcheese (He did nothing wrong, I was just being a douche) and I would like you to keep up the good work on the server. From what I've been reading on the forums, you seem to be doing a great job (Along with the other Admins) so Cheers.
Shawn, forgive me for coming of as... harsh, we both know I would do nothing to harm that servers popularity/population, or anything about it, not to mention the solution is simple, /seen IBunkerZz /seen skillcheese /seen Lokir_Shalak, my alt should be the only one with my ip. I also have skype messages as proof Bunkz was the one on the account.
And what is preventing him from doing it again? Listen, I'm done having players like that on the server. There will never be a ban list reset. No second or third chances.
Sooooo.... Still waiting guys... we all know I was banned because Bunkz got onto my account and went Ape-. Thanks to that, he's no longer my friend, and I'm banned from my favorite server, that I was loyal staff on for months, we even discussed this in the admin Skype chat together, I do not understand what the issue is, I would be grateful for an unban soon, thanks.
~Skill~
The issue is simple. We can't confirm that was Bunkz on your account or you. That's like Ragestrr blaming his cat. Forgive me for being cautious.
Who were you banned by?: Ebon_Coyote
When were you banned? (Approx time/day): 10/12/13? I think around 1:00am.
What was the ban reason?: Xray/Account Investigation.
Do you admit fault?: No. However , I'd like to see where I had xrayed ; for so I was mining and ran into some bases yesterday.
What was your current rank?: Lieutenant
Why do you think you should be unbanned?: Well first off , i'm not going to put down , "I'd like a second chance!" or "I was going to buy donor." But , i'd like to be unbanned because I really do not know what I was "xraying". Second of all , I have a clean file on both computers. I don't hack.
Any other information: Sometimes when i'm on really slow computers , there's world chunk errors and I can see what's under. I'm sorry if I used that against you. Also , If I get banned , and buy a unban , will my plot be gone? If so , please give the leadership of the plot to either Beasasaur11 or Masterbee23.
Appeal Denied. You may purchase an account unlock at Link Removed if you wish to return to the server. If you do not purchase a full unlock within 14 days of your ban, your plots will be put up for sale.

Is that mod on the approved list?

He wouldn't even know how.

Where I'm from, black and orange are typically associated with Halloween. It is just a holiday thing, not permanent.

Should be able to now.

Those signs are there for a reason.
I'll think about it.
