I'll be sure to keep you up to date, but for now it's best to stay offline. Mojang have said that they are working on the problem and should fix it in a fiew days. Don't worry the world is backed up.

Server Changes

Well we've been discussing to add some changes to the server in te next month. We don't know where this will go, but we hope it will be for the better. I wanted to point out two main things about this server.
1. As our server isn't a 24/7 server and the reason is that it doesn't have a dedecated machine. Untill we find the funds to make this srever 24/7 we may just have to stick with that.
2. The groups will be changed in to two larger groups Gusets(Default, Builder, Moderator, VIP) and Staff(Admin, Owner). This change is for the better of the server and untill that happens the highest rank for a visitor will be moderator, admins will stay admins.

We don't know where this server will go in the future, but we hope it's for the better.
