Im very excited to see so much interest in the new sever! As soon as we have it set up and together I will post all the information here! We look forward to playing with everyone again soon!
We have started to work on some of the plugins that we need and we are focusing on getting them in right this time. We have a few things to decide on and a few things to put together. We intend to have the same feel as last time, just without the bugs and issues. We will have the server up as soon as we can. We are trying our best to make it perfect for you so we are not rushing things. Just come here for updates and feel free to ask how we are coming if you would like.
Look forward to playing with you.
1.) We are shutting down the server because it is very hard for us to workout this many issues with a live server. That is the underlying problem. The server went live before it really should have. A live server brings its own things to deal with like helping players with problems, bans and kicks. Attempting to do those as well as fix the issues we ran into with opening to soon just became to much for us and we could not give you the best server experience because of that. Since our goal was to give you the best server in the first place, we decided it best to start from scratch.
2.) We would LOVE to have you all back and hope that you do come back. Those of you who have played almost daily with us are what have made this worth while for us. If anyone has knowledge of WE or plugins please contact one of us. It is important to understand that if you choose to come back to us which we hope you will, that everything will be reset. This includes iConomy, MCMMO, structures and playtime.
Again this was not an easy choice for us by any means. But we feel that this is the best way to offer you an outstanding server. We hope you understand and please feel free to message us with any questions you might have.
As many of you know the 1.3 release should be coming out tomorrow, Aug 1st. There are a few things that we would like to bring to your attention.
-Tons of new maps, new mulit-colored stairs as well as that elusive Emerald will be coming. Along with this we are looking into doing a map reset. A map reset will allow us to get of some corrupt chunks we have found. Getting rid of these chunks will reduce the amount of lag we have on the server a great deal. Also you will be able to able to make new buildings in all the new jungle temples and pyramids. We should be able to copy buildings from one to the other, but that is not guaranteed. There is a chance that it will not be able to come over. Over all it would greatly improve the server to have a map reset. However, we are not just going to do that without our players thoughts and comments After all it is you all who give us a reason to have this server. Please feel free to tell us your thoughts on the matter. Also if you would like a building or two copied please Private Message Poly_Ester with a warp and a description of what is to be copied ( please no more than two as that makes it very tedious and would result in a longer down time for the server).
Please keep in mind and be aware that there will most likely be some down time in general when this update comes out. We have to wait for all our plugins and Bukkit to update as well.Please bare with us as we will be trying to make the best server for you. If you have any concerns what so ever please let us know by either talking to any of us here in this forum or by Private Messages. We are here to help inform you and keep you up to date.
--Please take careful note that AFTER the server updates to 1.3, if you do not update your minecraft you will not be able to get on the server until you do so. Versions 1.2.5 and 1.3 are not compatible with each other.
*** SPAWN***
After the restart with or without a map reset, we will be remaking spawn! WOO! Here is the catch... we want ALL of our wonderful players to help us! Yes, that means YOU!!! We will be whitelisting the server however during that time simply to help us manage things a little better. It is in no way means we dont want you to help. If you want to help us build please feel free to contact any of our admins via Private Messages here on the forums page. Once you message us we will inform you from there what we are looking for and how the process will work. **Please note you wont be able to actually build homes or anything during this time. We are setting that time aside strictly for making the most epic spawn ever!!
The mega mall is almost done, i need to make the basement and celling and then i can start making the actual chest chops, THAT is going to bet the hardest part.
I cant wait! Sounds like its gonna be really good!
I am so very proud of this server. I love it and all those that keep it running are awesome! It's gonna be awesome building with you all and surviving with you all <3
Please understand that it was not just Stu who had issues, problems, concerns or whatever you would like to call them. Others did as well. Some actually went straight to ben. Im not saying that anyone is wrong here I would just like to bring this to light for you as I know it goes deeper than just his post.Ben is the owner of this server which makes him sorta the go-to person for everyone on. If there is an issue and players do not feel confortable going to a modmin then they are encouraged to post here on the forums or send Ben a personal message. If Ben saw them as issues enough to fix them or take measures to make changes then obviously it needed to be done. Which I asure you is the case here. Not always but with this instance it is.
I also agree whole heartedly with Fire. This forum should be a place for anyone to come to and post ALL thoughts and opinions. And I am very glad that you did. That just means that we have people who have become dedicated to our server and feel strongly enough to help it grow. Differing opinions can be a very constructive thing if done properly. If anger,frustration and pointing-fingers are removed, different opinions open the doors for discussion and maybe a new way of doing things. That is the only way for this sever to get better and grow. It needs those who play and care enough to see what is good and what could be changed and talk about it. All in All be open minded and constructive.
Ign: Turtegiel Skype: Turtegiel (Be Honest) Age:23 Why should i let you in: I have been in large servers such as the killion servers and Keystone. Ive seen my fair share of "dumbness" and im kinda over it. I am a big team player and love survival. Im looking for a new survival to start a fresh and make some new friends.
Just letting everyone know, Trusted and up now have the ability to see logs of blocks placed by users. This will make it easier to find out who griefed/didn't grief you, and let an Admin know who can take care of it!
Use /hk tool to get the logging lookup tool.
Also, ALL trusted can now use /i to spawn their own blocks. The list is limited, but this should make it much easier for the Mods to keep up with all the requests.
Donors will now be able to use colored signs as well!
What is the list for what they do have and what they do not have?
Okay, after about 48 hours of hard work I am extremely excited (and relieved) to announce that Keystone Survival is up once more!
This is what I was proudly able to get done:
Return the server to the state it was left in, builds and plugin files in excellent condition.
Get the teamspeak 3 server up and running once more.
10% of each players balance has been added on to each player's account!
Borders in all 3 worlds have been expanded. The main world is now 5500x5500 square. The end is now 1500x1500 square, and the nether is now 2500x2500 square.
Please note that residences were wiped, other than subplots. I advise you go about remaking your residence ASAP.
A shout out to the following people:
8bitben - General help and support Devexus - Balance calculation Kaval - Balance and Residence resurrection Nistune - Balance and Residence resurrection
I can proudly say that we can expect no problems for a while! Thank you for choosing to play Keystone!
Soo many likes for this. you guys are all awesome and I love you all for working soo hard
