New Admins
Hello all,
As you may or may not be aware, we have two new admins on the team, Solkim and TheParadox. The reason for the additional staff was to attempt to cover more hours of the day. The previous team consisted of solely Europeans and unfortunately there were problems that generated overnight such as grief in creative which caused lag and would not get resolved until morning EU time.
They have been Admins for a few days now and have both grasped the role very effectively and have proven thus far to be incredibly valuable assets to the administration team, so thanks from myself for the hard work guys, everyone appreciates it!
As another note please be on the lookout for new plugins soon, which will be detailed on the Commands and Features page!

Regarding the downtime last night,
Last night if you tried to connect from 22:12 to 9:40 GMT 27th-28th you were unable too. This was caused by world 5 (Adventure Map) having some corrupt chunks due to the server crashing while the map was saving; this unfortunately rendered the server unable to load the map. We take data redundancy very serious and were able to correct the issue. The reason for the extended downtime was due to technical difficulties with the server itself and being unable to remotely access the server while stab was sleeping. We have resolved these issues and next time the downtime should only last minutes instead of hours.
Questions, concerns, as per usual put them here or direct to an admin in game. We are here to serve you, the community.

SERVER UPDATED! 1.0 is enabled.
Important Edit: Permissions fixed!
Hey all.
Minecraft 1.0 has just gone live on our server, so come join us. The temporary server is now offline but I have a copy of the map which I will put up for download soon. We may also consider doing a hardcore map on our main server.
Questions, concerns, as per usual put them here or direct to an admin in game. Happy to help

Server switch TONIGHT!
EDIT:
This has been completed!. New users will connect to our new server, once their ISP has updated our domain information.
If you see a “Welcome to our new home” message, you’re on the new server.
That’s right. I’m going to be switching the server over tonight; there may be problems but this shouldnt take more than an hour or so. There will be an appropriate message displayed when this is occuring.
Any questions, as always, post em here or direct them to an admin in game!

Update on hosting: Hardware received, into operation soon
Update:
Server built. CPU usage and ram usage very acceptable. Just need to port over the map live and set up database access which I will work on tomorrow. Soon people, we will be without lag! 
Hey all,
As above, I have taken delivery of the new server hardware and plan to start the setup today. It is likely that the server will be moved over on the weekend or if there are any problems or delays, early next week.
I expect the new server to completely resolve all lag issues of present and open the doors to us for greater expansion into future content.
For those who are interested, the new specs are:
AMD Athlon II X3 tri-core processor, 3.2Ghz
MSI 870-45C
8GB of DDR3 1333Mhz memory in Dual channel. We also have the option of purchasing another 8GB kit in the future if necessary.
Any questions, as always, ask here or in game, I’ll be happy to address any concerns or feedback.
Stabhappy.

New Plugin – CreatureBox
Hello all!
We have a new plugin today. Users can now collect mob spawners by breaking them. They retain their monster information when placed, so if you harvest a spider spawner, you can place it again somewhere more convenient!
Also, we Cow, Sheep, Pig and Chicken spawners in the Admin Shop.
Or if you’d prefer, you can sell the ones you have collected so far in your own shop!
When using a plugin like ChestShop, the item name would be: mob_spawner:XX where xx is the number listed below.
- PIG, 90
- CHICKEN, 93
- COW, 92
- SHEEP, 91
- SKELETON, 51
- SPIDER, 52
- ZOMBIE, 54
- SLIME, 55
- CAVE_SPIDER, 59
Any questions please post them here or direct them to an admin in game.

New server hardware ordered!
Hello all!
I bring great news.
Our new server hardware has been ordered and will be with me shortly for the build.
We’re transitioning from 2GB to 8GB of ram, with room to upgrade further in the future.
This means no more lag. At all. We also have a Tri-core processor and a nice motherboard to boot!
Thanks everyone for your support, we’ll be transitioning within a few weeks.
