Update: Arrived at New York safe and sound! Hey all,
I am pleased to announce Version 6.0 will finally open on the 7th of February at 9pm GMT (
What is it in my timezone?). I and other members of the team and thankful that the project is finally coming to a close, after a series of bad luck and hours upon hours of developing/planning headaches. Just recently we've been having issues with our network in Chicago and are now forced to make the move to New York, this will happen on either the 29th/30th next week. So if you live near/in New York you are now even closer to the machine; Yay!
Now for the important information: Release Info!What's happening on release day?On the night of the release, we'll be opening the server three hours earlier for VIP and Veteran members. These players will be auto-whitelisted and will be able to connect when the countdown hits (00 | 00 | 00 | 00). After this time a post will be created in which we will be white listing members manually, the reason for this is that due to both technical and stability issues we think the best outcome of a stable and safe start to the version would be to keep the influx of players completely under control.
This means if you are not VIP/Veteran YOU will not be white listed automatically and will have to request access on the post, we will only be accepting members that played in V5 for the first week and will be white listing
EVERYONE that makes a reply (no application required). Players will be white listed in intervals and white listing may/will slow down depending on issues that occur or maintenance going on.
What to expect within the first 3 hours:- Unexpected issues
- Bugs, Glitches, Crashes
- Random/Unannounced maintenance's/hot fix
What to expect within the first week- Unexpected issues
- Bugs, Glitches, Crashes
- Announced frequent/random maintenance's/hotfix
Will the donation shop be live on release?Yes, the donation shop will be live on release, however, you will only be able to purchase VIP upgrades/lifetime for the first week. After the period of the BETA week, we'll start adding more packages for the donation system, reason being is that issue will occur within the first week and we don't want to create more issues around donation gifts being lost etc.
If I buy VIP will I have access to the early 3 hours?Yes, you can buy VIP and be auto-whitelisted into the first three hours/BETA Week.
CouponsDonation coupons will be sent out throughout the first week at random intervals, if you are still waiting on receiving coupons from the points convert, please be patient. You will receive them eventually!
GuidesDuring the days leading up to the release guides will be posted about certain features of the server, those being for example: the Chunk system/Auction etc.
