Hey all,
In light of recent events, we have decided that we will be merging both of our servers onto one machine in the coming weeks/months. This is to both save resources and cut down on costs. The future of Minecraft is very unpredictable at the moment, wasting resources and adding extra costs to running the servers will not benefit the players who enjoy our servers long term.
What will this mean?
From a player perspective, very little. We'll be moving the Apocalypse files over to our New York machine (Noobstown) which means both of the servers will be now located in USA. The decision to move both servers to the US machine will be most beneficial for the majority of players that connect to our servers and as a result, will yield better game play experience inside the game.
Will this cause lag?
No, the New York machine is very powerful and has plenty of space. We have very little concerns of any impact it will have on performance as we currently use very little of our machine on Noobstown alone.
Connection info change?
No, you will still be able to connect to each server using the normal connection info.
More information will be released once we have a set date the merge will be carried out. The two servers will be offline during the merge.
Future
As we continue to work on both Noobstown v6 and Apocalypse 2.0 there will always be room for expansion of the network in the future. As this is a difficult and worrying time in the Minecraft community the decision has been made to better safeguard our servers/community/friends we've made over these 4 years of running servers. Thank you once again to everyone who has supported us through thick and thin, we hope to continue being able to provide you all with fun experience for years to come.

What's Apocalypse?
-
Apocalypse is part of the noobstown/cloudsquid family there for belongs to noobstown so is ok to mention it on noobstown where as if you mentioned any other server it would be advertising but its just a gaming server in a nutshell just for the people who love getting killed by zombies :D
-
Zombies doesnt even come close to how many there are i swear they spawn faster than you can kill them

Ah cool, thanks Leigh!

When I first heard Minecraft was being bought by Microsoft I was wondering what that would mean for the server... can't say I'm too thrilled though, I will be expecting many annoying pop ups like on every other freaking thing Microsoft owns! Anyways, good luck with the merge. Hope all goes well.
