Things I want to do but can't (til the server gets upgraded):
1. Add a plugin that will allow portals to the Nether to be made.
2. Create custom bi-weekly plugin-based events that would last an entire weekend. Ex: having monster-killing competitions at night with special loot to the winner, having a fishing weekend where special events are added to fishing like rescuing a drowning pig or catching a squid, having to eat to avoid starvation, or even just a PVP weekend!
3. Apply the Dynmap plugin so you can look at the server map update LIVE! Players will show up on the screen as well as chat. It's a great plugin but I feel like it has to be squeezed out for now.
I can't do any of this without your help :biggrin.gif:
Wow the video looks great guys!!! Hope things are going well! Keep me updated. I did get my internet fixed. I have been playing on some servers for a few days now without any complications so that's a plus!!! Maybe you could join a server I'm in sometime or something so I could show you I am stable again. At any rate it does look awesome! Keep going strong!
Sorry to anyone who may have tried to get on in the last hour and a half. Been performing server maintenance. New version of CBukkit installed successfully and plugins are working fine :biggrin.gif:.
If you notice something unstable, please let me know.
Also if you are a visitor, you have to right click to open doors. This is a bug and I am working on fixing it.
Hey, saw your update on what would come with a server upgrade/donations and events and stuff. Don't forget you told me the Nether was coming with that too cause I wanna go kill some ghasts. :tongue.gif:

Thanks yeah I forgot the Nether :biggrin.gif:. Once we can afford to upgrade I'll open up the Nether for exploration but for right now I don't think our small server can handle two worlds open at the same time :biggrin.gif:

@mevans955 - Sorry mate but from the looks of it you didn't read the original post in its entirety. Thank you for your time and interest but I have to reject the application.
@lochand19- Thanks for your application and welcome to The Homestead!
@tbuck153 - Thanks for taking the time to fill out the application but I have to reject it on the grounds that you didn't read my original post or even the rules in their entirety. Thanks and I hope you find a good home to play on.
Just wanted to update everyone! We've had a couple of great donations from Aesami and antivnm enabling us to upgrade the server the first step up the chain! We are only a few dollars short of the second upgrade!
This first, smaller upgrade has enabled us to use BigBrother to its full potential to stop griefers if they ever get the chance to even start(it's a resource-hungry plugin!). We can record potential griefer's actions for nearly two weeks now! This means if you don't log in for a few days and come back to find your stuff messed up, we can get to the bottom of it and undo all the bad things that may have been done.
In addition, we have two more slots. I know it's not much, and I could probably afford one or two more, but is important to me to have more than enough RAM for each player so the server runs as smoothly as possible! I want your experience on the Homestead to be great, and players like Aesami and antivnm are helping make that happen.
With the next upgrade we'll get some more slots, some weekly or biweekly events, and a lot of fun. On the upgrade after that, if it ever comes, I'll add a webdomain with our own URL and a dynamic map so that you can see our map LIVE as we build and expand (you can even see what goes on in chat!). With the URL would come a homepage to keep everyone up-to-date on info as well as a custom ip address for the server (no more numbers!).
Lots of changes in the works and we welcome you to come be part of the server. Just make sure you read the whole original post ;D

Have I agreed to the rules: Of course.
Comments: none at the moment, though I hope, if accepted, I have a great and productive time on the server

Thank you for your interest in The Homestead but I am afraid I have to reject your application on the grounds that it is apparent to me you did not read the whole of my original post, most notably the rules, before accepting them. I wish you luck in finding a server that is a good fit for you and thanks again for taking the time out to fill out the application.
