In regards to the newest announcement, let's not think of this as the death of the server we love, but the rebirth of it. Much like a phoenix. After things have been sorted out with this, we will come back stronger then ever. It has been a very rough past few months, but it will get better with time. I think this is exactly what we need. I believe I speak for every staff member, when I say, we all would like your support for when we come back. I look forward to seeing many familiar faces, as well as new faces. I hope everyone has a good 2015.
Which means the server will be down for abit to make some massive changes and start fresh!
The server is not going away, We are just gonna fix the problems and start fresh
This ain't good bye c:
Well, I pretty sad that the server is shutting down! I guess all good things have to come to an end. At least the server will only be down temporarily and be back improved and much better. I look forward to the grand opening of "Convicted 2.0"!
Definately a sad day for Convicted, It has been a rough couple months...cannot wait to see the new Convicted. So many good memories, but it is needed. Convicted 2.0 will be great.
This server has given me so much laughter, joy, smiles, and amazing friends into my life and I simply don't know how I can possibly re-pay Convicted.. I will lose contact with a lot of you for a few months, but please don't take this personally you are still my friend. I am not giving everybody my Skype because of my parents and I deeply wish to keep in contact all of you, but only with a few I personally trust and know well. Don't worry, we'll be able to keep in touch when Convicted restarts.

I love you all to death, thank you again for being there for me in the good times and bad. Stay strong and keep it classy guys. Farewell, I will see you all in a few months!
I love you guys and look forward to seeing you again on the reopening!
I looked through my computer and apparently all of my convicted screenshots are on my old computer and this is the only one I have.
Also, here is my old guard application for fun:
1) Why do you wish to be a guard? I really love being a guard. I have been a guard on three other prison servers and really enjoyed it. Plus, I have seen lots of wrongdoers that the guards have not seen, and I think i can add some knowledge to some of the other guards.
2) How long have you been playing the server? (Minimum of 3 days) for 4 days. It is really good.
3) Do you understand that abusing your powers as guard will lead to you being stripped of your status and maybe even banned? Yes I do. I do what i think is right, and does not go agaisnt my duties.
4) Why are you a good choice for guard? I have been a guard on three other prison servers, (including one with jmon, shortiepants, eliaas, and primesyndicate) a I have gotten really good feedback from the prisoners on those servers. I am VERY active, and because Noakii is awesome.

I'm sure you've all heard the rumors circulating around recently. Resets, shutdowns, etc. The purpose of this post is to lay them all to rest. The truth is that they are true - to an extent.
Convicted has become stale. There's no arguing that. There just aren't enough incentives or goals to keep players interested. The economy is over saturated. PvP has become a joke. The playerbase is dwindling. As a result, we are no longer receiving enough money in donations to continue in this manner.
Moving forward, our plan is to completely reboot Convicted over the next few months. This will mean a completed new slate for everyone. (except for donor, which will be discussed) Convicted desperately needs time to breath- time to fix problems, create new content, and ultimately allow for new growth within the server. Unfortunately this warrants a server shutdown. Our data center will be suspending service within the next few hours.
Convicted has been my baby from the beginning. I never once expected something I created for fun to grow so large and have so much influence. I am very thankful to everyone who has contributed to this amazing server and community. This has been a huge part of my life for nearly four years, and it's sad to see it go, even temporarily.
Just know that the admin team will be doing our best to completely overhaul the server these next few months. Check this forum and http://mcconvictedwiki.weebly.com frequently for updates.
See you all soon.
In reply to the recent question of donor ranks being kept or taken from the people who have paid for them, I would like to point out one thing after being told to "take a look at the terms and conditions again". I went to the donation site (http://convicted.buycraft.net/) went to the terms and conditions and read them once again. From looking at the terms and conditions the only way our ranks can be taken away from us is if the server is SHUT DOWNor a player is BANNED. For reference to the terms and conditions regarding this you may look here (http://prntscr.com/68p0jz). So with the terms and conditions in place and using Vipers post as evidence The server is simply being REBOOTED not SHUT DOWN. That is all I have to say. Thanks
Well damn, I am sorry to see a community I have watch grown to be gone with in a couple of years. I cant wait till the reopening I will see you guys then! You can find me on steam if you want to still talk to me!
Also Galuzer as the Dictator of Convicted I left instructions for you if this was to happen I hope you followed them!
Id like to thank the staff for shutting down the server honestly. I thought the owners were going to continue damage controlling and pretend nothing is wrong with it till the day no one even remembered it existed in the first place. I cant wait to see the changes in a few months and would definitely play on this server again if it's redone nicely. I wish the dev team goodluck for the coming months, i know the amount of work it takes to build a server (rebuilding it is probably even harder) and i hope all goes well for you.
Well squad, its been a wonderful time with all of you here and I will be sure to be back on the day of the reopening. I'd like to thank all of you for showing me what a great time the server was from c- block, to free, to guard. If I wasn't introduced to this server my summers would have been really boring. Its been great. Everyone please come back and always remember our group of friends. Welcome to convicted!
