Hi All,
Word is a major update is due shortly, if not out already, adds bunnies and such.
We wont be rushing to update for a variety of reasons, but if you create a minecraft profile set to the version the server currently supports you can still keep playing it until we update it.
Not a lot of users lately - most likely due to the lack of staff, and the uncertain nature of a world where minecraft monetiztion is killing off all the servers.
News is we will keep running the server - have also been pondering if it is worth the effort to move the server to someone with optic fibre as well to bring our slots up again. Trouble here is I would probably have to drive the server up and wire it in manually - which given my time constraints and finances is not viable sadly.
Mainly depends on updates to plugins - given mojangs major snub to all server operators and plugin makers, chances are a lot of plugins may never be updated now.
At the very least we need multiverse, terrain control, world edit and world guard. Stargates are a problem too. The version we use works differently to the new version. Eventually we may be forced to find a programmer to custom build plugins for our stuff.
We may need to phase out lockette, and we may eventually be forced to change to a newer permissions plugin supporting uids too.
The problem with that is all our guard regions and chests are set to player name not uid presently.
We may need to setup a sort of "reverse" permissions where the entire world is set to no-build and spawn everyone in on a new world - those wishing to move back to the main world would then need a staff member to manually unlock their region, or copy paste it to the new world.
If we can get NPCs to work with a degree of stability, or a similar questing system I may have to implement the "alternate" start idea I was playing with. (New players start on the crashing space ship having just woken from cryo pods, and need to complete a small series of missions to get to the buildable world) I would love to have a story arc mission system where the way you complete the mission decides which planet you end up on - but that seems difficult at present.
It can be done, other servers used a questionare system to do something similar - but ive no idea what they used to do it.
Anyway, we are not going anywhere - yet.

Make a space engineers server! I shall create the mother of all ships and rule the galaxy with my fleet!
Then it'd probably get blown up by Skull, that or he'd take over. Probably the latter then I'd blow it up.
But now you've brought my attention to StarForge, and I need a new media thing to marathon. I hate that feeling of emptiness after finishing a good anime series.
If I end up spending money, I'm blaming you phoe and will take your soul to make up the difference.

And so, I look upon the many Minecraft "inspired" games and said "Let there be procrastination."
Holidays are coming up at least, so school work won't suffer and I have no social life to destroy so, seems good to me.
I'll be eating phoenix's soul if you need me.

In other news i have a test server up on space engineers, its only a 4 slot and really only a hardware test, but feel free to try to join, thus far indications are it doesnt work too well over our internet - but it may be possible to send it upstate to someone with fibre if it proves fun.. still not really made any final decision on sticking with or moving away from minecraft. A 5+gig world is hard to just walk away from.
No doubt some game will come along that can load anvil worlds in which case, game on.
Feel free to toss in any ideas here you come across.

I care not if it is a hardware test or if it doesn't work well.
I will create a destroyer and blow up everything! Hide yo ships, hide yo stations!
What's the server called.

Hey guys, long time no talk, just a quick transmission to update you guys.
█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
I will be flying back to █████████ on 31/10/14. I should be back online 1-2 weeks from then. ████████████████████████████████████████████████, although I do have a better PC that is being shipped, hopefully all of that will go well and then I will have a decent PC to game on. That being said I will probably be busy with ███████████████████████████████████████████████, not to mention the internet will be shit in █████████.
I do really need to get my shit together and █████████████████, leaving a lot of stuff behind including bad habbits.
Either way, unless I'm dead, I'll always be around.
If you don't see a post back here in at least 2 weeks, then yeah I've probably died. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████.
If I actually do die, I want SkullCorp, and all it's divisions, sub-companies, property, items and intellectual rights to be split in the following ratio with the following people:
25% - █████ [Redacted due to not dead] 25% - ████████ [Redacted due to not dead] 20% - ████████ ███████ [Redacted due to not dead] ██% - ███████████ ██% - ████ ██████
Regards, I wish you all the best, Skull

Right, so I'm not dead, I'm back in ███ █████ for a while. Obviously I'm going to be spending a decent amount of time on TDF again as long as other people are on when I am, seeing as it's a little too hard to play League of Legends with 168 ping.
I had a lot going on IRL, and I hope everyone is keeping well, looking forward to talk to you guys soon.

So uh, what if you were to die... inexplicably, with no trace leading back to me, would I still get my share?
I just want to know because... reasons.
Just make sure you don't look under your bed. I doubt you could outrun a nuclear blast anyway.
