Hello guys! It sure has been a while, I am grateful that you cherish the server, I sure do cherish the memory of the good old days back in the alpha too. I love that I somehow contributed to your good memories, even though I have to give most of the credit to the moderators and specially Sinn. I do still talk with him every now and again and he is doing really great!
Unfortunately I have cancelled the server as no one was maintaining or playing on the Minecraft server and that was the last thing I used it for, it was pretty expensive considering that I too am a student. I think the server will be down around the 20'th of May. I can probably arrange some other hardware or extend it for a while if you are really interested in this project, but unfortunately it requires a lot of time and work to maintain a Minecraft server. The last couple of people who tried to do so all got surprised by the amount of work.
I would be interested in a small "get-together" myself if you can manage to gather some people for sure. Maybe one last project on a freebuild server? I don't know, let me know what you think.
We have not discussed Mods yet, but the VIP system will change and all old VIPs will be given some sort of VIP rank on the server again of course. But how it exactly is going to work I am not sure of yet.
A good friend of mine who goes by Vntqmm is setting up the server as I write this. It will probably be a few days to a week till he is done but then the server will be alive again. I have told him to do as he pleases, as I know he will become a great and active admin on the server if he can build the server just right. But you should expect the server to somewhat change, as it is not me who is maintaining the server anymore, although I of course help him.
This also means we are starting over again (I am sorry, but this is necessary). I will try and see if I can find the good old backups of the old map somewhere if anyone wants this, I know Zoidberg has some, but I don't know if he will freely distribute these.
I hope you will like the new server and of course feel free to leave feedback and suggestions right here, I am sure Vntqmm will appreciate it.
It is definitely possible, but I lack the time to maintain it. I can probably find time to start it and such sometime, but I still need admins to maintain it.
I transferred the data to the new server, but I did not start up the server yet. I am not sure if it needs to be updated or something like that, this is something I will have to look into.
I haven't played myself for a very long time. But I've heard rumors about a big update one of the following days. This will probably mean a bit of downtime to the server, till the most important plugins gets updated.
Again, since I don't play, I am always looking for admins and moderators for the server. Currently I don't think any of the old mods or admins are active (correct me if I'm wrong), which means we are in even greater need. I see no reason to ever totally shut down the server, as I remember how great the community used to be on it. The only reason it's so inactive, is because we have no active admins on it.
The server I am using is expiring April 1. But I am of course upgrading to an even better server, so no concern there. It'll just mean a few hours of downtime sometime late Marts, that is all.
I am very sorry about that.. But I am really busy in real life with school and work and I cannot handle the server alone. The entire new admin team just left one day and I haven't heard from Sparky in a while as well. The server is still there and can easily be revived, but as I said, I cannot handle it alone.
I managed to get permission back up, but it seems like a lot of other plugins are broken aswell. I will try and fix them all today, which means I will probably restart the server a lot today, but as of now it should be playable again. Additionally the McMyAdmin message should be gone now.
EDIT:
We are now 100% up and running and I will probably not restart the server anymore today.
I am sorry about that Epik_Russian. I took a look into the griefing and it seems like there has been a fire. For some reason I cannot roll it back, but I will keep trying. Also I am probably going to move the server later today so expect downtime.
Yeah, the server is down. We were DDoS'ed today and we hadn't really prepared for it yet, as we didn't expect anything till we got bigger (stupid I guess). We are currently waiting for a response from our server provider, but I guess the server should be back up within 12 hours or so.

I think he is getting close with the server. We should see it up and running sometime this week.

Sorry I haven't been able to fix this yet. This breakdown happened just when I left for a vacation. I will try and see if I can fix it today.

We sure can, I'll take a look at it.

The map should definitely be expanded at some point. But a crazy world doesn't sound bad either. Maybe it's soon time for both.

We are now back online.
