Spawn Change Coming Soon

We don't anticipate needing a map reset for at least a few more months but for simplicity we have decided to have Spawn in a world of its own in future, similar to The Vault etc, this means that map resets can be done much quicker and that spawn would not have to be rebuilt every time we have a reset.

Work will begin on the new spawn shortly and we are likely to switch to using it before a reset is necessary, that way if a reset needs to happen at short notice we will be fully prepared. Based on player feedback we will also be returning to a simpler player shop system, I'll post more details on that soon, players with existing shops will be given time to clear them out and will be refunded the last weeks rent once the new spawn is ready.

To clarify the map is not resetting, a new spawn is being built in it's own world.

Downtime Rescheduled

I've taken the server down to perform the maintenance originally scheduled for tomorrow.

The Mojang servers had been up and down for a while so as players couldn't join anyway I figured I may as well just do it and avoid having a downtime tomorrow!

1. Full backup/clone - Done.
2. Log data clean up - Done.

Maintenance:

Started: 14:00 (UK)
Est Finish: 15:45 (UK)

The maintenance is complete and the server is now back up!

Scheduled Downtime

There will be a scheduled downtime on Tuesday 22nd April to do the following:

1. Full backup/clone.
2. Log data clean up.

Scheduled Downtime:

Date: Tuesday 22nd April

Est Start: 8:30 am

Est Finish: 10:00 am

Cancelled, see post dated 21st April.

Server Back Up

Sorry about the downtime, there was a serious buildcraft glitch a few hours ago and we've only just managed to find and fix the cause, the server is now open again and should be back to normal with only a few minutes rolled back.
