it was only suppose to be one week but it turned out to be almost 2 months. I don't know guys I might not be comin back

Just give it a little more time. Like Jay said it's better if they do it this way rather than open the server and then have all these bugs and have to keep closing down the server. We also have to keep in mind, and Foob has mentioned this before....this is their HOBBY and they do have school and lives...when the server is back up and running it will be better than ever and it'll be worth the wait. I'm sure Foob and the admins have something up their sleeves to make it up to us....I just have this hunch. Hang in there!

ik how they can make it up to us....DROP PARTY!! tons of spawners and sponges and...hm idk what else u cant get unless u SPAWN EGGS,almost forgot about that sorry for interrupting myself in the middle of my sentence XD

Cheer up everyone.  You should have better things to do than being sad, sulking, or bored.  Go play somewhere else or enjoy the beautiful fall weather outside (if you're not in Florida) while you wait.  I've been having a great time playing elsewhere. 

I used to work with a guy named Ralph Barksdale.  I used to see him and say, "How you doing Ralph?"  He'd say, "Trading heartbeats for dollars."  Let me ask you, what are you trading your heartbeats for?

beautiful fall weather? I just got some snow...... I cant wait to start computer binge-ing again

Let me start by saying I am glad not to be in the admins shoes, must have been a tough call.
But I do feel its the wrong call.....
Pushing back the already delayed release of V6 and making it dependent  on the release of 1.7 is a major letdown, to me anyway.
I say, just release V6 using 1.6.x with the tested plugings, dont let all that test work go to waist.
Then inform the community that 1.7 will be implemented at a set date somewhere in December.
That buys you time to test 1.7, even if if its delayed by Mojang or Bukkit and allows the community to play the long awaited V6.
Having a day, or 2 downtime in December is more acceptable, to me anyway then having to wait longer now.
Not to mention missing out on Noobsween.
I feel to many promises are broken with this decision, and I am left disappointed.

Hm, I don't actually think it's sad news. Sure we have to wait a little longer, but unlike some other servers this new V6 world will then already have all the new stuff added in 1.7 (and there is a lot) without having us lose our stuff.
If we started playing V6 on 1.6.4 now we might have to either miss out on that new stuff in the V6 version or probably reset again to atdd it to th world after only a few weeks in V6. So the delay in the release is actually the best option to make sure we get an excellent start into 1.7 AND V6.

Sad news would have been if they had released 1.7 in two weeks and everything we would have done in V6 untill then would be lost because the world might have to be recreated to accomodate the new biomes and items.
So despite the unfortunate result of the delay in the release the timing is actually quite good (as said above it assures that we get an excellent start into 1.7 AND V6 at the same time).

And Noobsween, well I'm not American so I couldn't care less about that holiday We could always ignore the real world's calender and instead create our own yearly V6event celebrating the arrival to this new Minecraft world (including celebratory arena zombieslaying as sign of our struggle to reconquer V6Noobstown from the undead, boatraces as presentation of our long journey to this new world).
[edit: and a thanksgiving-dropparty where we thank the admin who brought us to these new shores through their magic spawnportal or whatever it is we will spawn at in V6]

Hmm and I just beat Crisis Core, time to find another game to play.

This stinks, Maybe a smaller Just event world? Winners of events inside of that world can get Tokens perhaps?

im not sure that would work. i think tokens are temporary. dont know for sure though.

Anything they were to do now would just delay the opening even more. With the server offline they can dedicate all the time they have to gathering informations and testing stuff instead of having to take care of players and related problems.

And 1.7.1 is already out 

wait what? does it need ANOTHER new launcher? like 1.6? or does 1.7 not need a new launcher and uses the 1.6 launcher? i should be doing my homework right now. but i'm commenting instead. lol

I am really loosing my patience..

were all losing our patience. i think another 2 weeks and the majority of people will probably snap. i for one can wait for at least another month. but with so much homework i wouldnt be able to make the time. lol

Edit: really i shouldnt even be posting right now. but i'm still posting instead. TAKE THAT ESSAY! LOL

I like DopeHead's idea.

And guys, seriously, even if you are losing your patience, telling the admins that, and telling them to hurry up is just going to make them feel even worse about this and make them feel like we are angry customers demanding our food on time at a restaurant.

We are not customers, even those of us who donate. If we were customers, "donating" would not be called "donating".

they do this in their spare time and we are all friends here, so while I completely understand where you are coming from, threats of leaving the server or getting mad (legitimately mad, not "RAGE lol") will do nobody here any good. It just adds even more negativity to this.

this server is worth the wait, even if the wait is extremely unpleasant.

Guys, go play KSP or something!

By releasing in 1.6.4 we'd still have to work towards the 1.7 update anyway, because we can't stay on 1.6.4 forever then we'd have test everything for 1.7 and then the server would be up and down again. This would not only spoil the experience of v6 but cause you to have further delays when starting your new homes or towns it wouldn't work. We'd prefer to work for a steady 1.7 release with everything fully supported and then it can be left up for the entire Christmas holidays.

We are not customers, even those of us who donate. If we were customers, "donating" would not be called "donating".

Man, this nails it. Even the word "supporter" carries the idea of helping out and not necessarily expecting things back. If we were customers, we'd be "purchasing."

To add to other things to do while waiting for V6:
- Find inspiration from YouTubers for your V6 builds. (I was tempted to say "inspiration, inspiration, inspiration")
- Check out the new features when 1.7 comes out so you'd be all set for V6, if you haven't tried the snapshots
- ...Talk to a real life person! xD
