Server now open again!
Hey all,
We've successfully moved Apocalypse onto the same machine as Noobstown, the server will now go down for a short period whilst we reconfigure the settings for the two servers. Thank you for your patience.
-
Sounds great ^^
I'll just be finishing some papers and reading through some important mails in the meantime :P
Haha jk. Maybe. Good to hear it has all went well so far :)
-
How long will it be probably down for?
-
is noobstown going to be 1.8 now, or will it just be bug fixes because of merge. ?

Bukkit is still under DMCA (Copyright take down), there won't be an update for a while unfortunately. Messy situation in the server community right now, we're just gonna have to hold on tight. Will let you all know as soon as we can update and start getting back on track with our own updates also!
-
Does this mean that the Events world and /mobareana will be coming soon? :D

Either I don't quite understand the situation, or you're slightly misinformed perhaps?
To my understanding CraftBukkit is under DMCA, not the Bukkit API, which is still being distributed (but it seems nothing real is being done about it, AS IF Mojang is going to actually continue support for it, let alone Microsoft).
Additionally, Noobstown runs on Spigot, not CraftBukkit, though Spigot is a modification of CraftBukkit and also received a DMCA, Spigot is releasing binary patches that are outside of the DMCA problem.
Either way, Bukkit is (as we learned) owned by Mojang ; and now owned by Microsoft, who doesn't want multiplayer servers (in my opinion, I mean, their EULA issue and introducing Realms themselves), and lots of Bukkit staff when they learned about EULA/DMCA/Mojang (already owning them for 2 years under 'shut up about it' clause), Microsoft situation, they have stepped down.
And Spigot as well, both, do not show any sign of 1.8 being here any time soon. My personal prediction is that NT and many others will in 2015 switch to something like Sponge or alike, or what we have here, is what we have for a while to come, with some patches here and there.
Was referring to the fact there would be no real 1.8 update for a long time, Spigot is providing updates but they're only protocol. I'm also aware of Sponge/Glowstone spin offs that are in the works but either way, these platforms are going to take time to establish themselves and work for the community - Right now we're stand still in 1.7.10 content, which means we cannot create/update plugins for 1.8 content/features.

Yeah, Mojang owning Bukkit and (Craft)Bukkit getting DMCA .. I have no faith in it, to be honest.
Why would Mojang put *any* effort into 1.8 Bukkit API so people can make MC servers, when they have that stupid EULA and and introduced REALMS to make money. Tinfoil hat, it wouldn't surprise me if Mojang secretly enjoying that this is ruining good servers.
Well yeah, it's really sad and disappointing what Minecraft has become because of decision such as this and I don't think Microsoft are the company to traditionally care so much about community driven projects/community lead games. Minecraft was and still is a very special 'platform', but I fear the worst for what will develop over the rest of the year/next. Just creates a very unsettling atmosphere for most who have been around since the very beginning and is extremely creatively draining.
-
hmm that seems logical :D Fatnoob is always right
-
Yeah, we all have already bought the MC accounts they Don't get any more money after that, so what do they care? They've got the money...
-
I wouldn't blame you for closing shop before it's becoming to costly to just run something - but there's no reason for that just yet. We're still at the waiting game to find out what will happen with all this nonsense.
We're not closing, we'll ride it out. Cutting back one server (machine) has defiantly helped us feel more comfortable going into the unknown, still, we're looking forward to what Minecraft has to offer in the future and hope that things eventually do turn positive. Priority is always on keeping the community intact and players happy.

So, how about that mob-arena huh :)
Won't be long, just needed to address some issues regarding where we want it and what we want mob arena to offer long term. Halloween events coming first very soon!
