Well guys the time has come, friday in the afternoon sometime expect about 30 minutes to an hour of downtime, we finally got the upgrade, now what might this upgrade be.... We already have a beast processor and motherboard, which is an intel xenon sandy bridge 8 core with hyper threading, we are now gonna have a total of 16 gigs of ddr3 ram and a 32 gig solid state drive, we will be keeping the 1000 gig hard drive we currently have, the only thing the solid state will be doing is mainly just the world stuff, as this will greatly reduce lag which is already rarely seen, with our mass amounts of players we have been having and the generous donations that have been coming it is time, the payment has been sent and just waiting till friday afternoon for everything to be installed, nothing will be lost unless something horrible happens lmao, so I hope you guys love it when its done, we have come along way and its just gonna keep getting better.

There is now no pvp in the main world, there is a hardcore pvp world, to get there all you have to do is go north in the spawn building and you will see a warp going there, that is the only way in and the only way out.

You do not have access to tp, homes, or /spawn, all you can do is clan stuff, mcmmo, jobs, and vanilla minecraft, oh...did I mention TNT, this was a decision made by alot of people, I hope you all enjoy and this way people in the main world can now play and build and do everything else in peace.

We have enough for the upgrade so once volumedrive and I pass some emails to each other, we will get this on the way, the server will be down for 30 minutes to an hour when they do the upgrade so just be aware of that, I will post on here when this happens.

We now have a SeniorAdmin group, this is a group for M3ddler and Iaccidentally, they are the 2 main people in charge when im not here, everything admins do need to be ran by them, this does not mean for residents to bug them over admins, they have the same permissions as admins they just are more in charge.

We just hit top 100 on minestatus, I would just like to say thank you to everyone who votes, this is a amazing milestone as we have never hit this before, keep it up guys

Ok, well as many of you may know the specs of the server some may not, we have a intel xenon 8 core with hyper threading on a sandy bridge with 8 gigs of ddr3 ram and a terabyte hdd.

We are wanting to upgrade to 16 gigs of ram, so thats a one time payment of $85.00, the server is a monthly payment of $74.99 so we will need some help obviously as this server runs on donations, to get this upgrade.

We will also be getting a 32 gig solid state drive which for those of you that dont know this is 10x faster than a normal hard drive, this upgrade is only $40.00 and what this will do will allow us to have multiple worlds with absolute 0 lag, and it will allow us to grow like we have been, we have been having atleast 50-60 players each day, so I really think this upgrade is coming at a good time for the community.

If you would like to donate for the parts individually or a little of it, you can click the paypal donate bucket at the top and put in a custom amount, please give me a note stating what the donation is for, thank you to everyone that has made the server get to where it is, we are finally getting to be big which has always been a goal of mine.

(90) players!
