Busy days

Since I am quite busy since some days and since this will be the case until next week, please understand that some stuff will be delayed. I am sure I will be able to keep urgent stuff up, but the contests and some requests that I received per email will have to wait for a bit. Sorry for that.

Do not upgrade

Minecraft released version 1.4.4 today, and you will be prompted to upgrade when you start the game.

Clients that have upgraded to 1.4.4 will be unable to connect to our server for the time being. Unless you are comfortable with switching your minecraft versions between 1.4.2 and 1.4.4, you should not upgrade your client to the most recent version if you want to play on this server at this time.

New mute commands

We had in the past the issue that people would get muted, but never unmuted. I have now programmed our own interface for this and now it is impossible to mute someone accidentally forever.

The default mute is for 1 hour, and I would recommend to keep it for one hour. If someone gives another reason to be muted right after the mute expires, I would recommend a ban instead of another mute.

The new commands are visible for Masters and above in the /helpme in-game help, under a new section of commands “/mod“:

/mod mute <player> [time]
and
/mod unmute <player>

Skylands closure

As announced before, I will remove the skylands. I made the decision now to remove it latest end of this year. So you have until 31st Dec 2012 to move to the aether. I can help you move builds to a skylands lot. I will NOT move the whole landscape etc, and I will not move every single cobblestone hut. If you have any relevant build that you want me to move, send talk to me in-game or send a ticket to me with the following info:

  • My skylands lot:
  • The aether lot I want:
  • Skylands build coordinates:
  • Target coordinates in the Aether:
