The situation
Hello everyone it's been quite a busy few days getting ready for v5 and waiting for the release of Minecraft. The Noobscraft team was planning to release Noobstown v5 on the 19th of November but we are having some trouble with Bukkit at this moment in time. This is due to them not updating their server software to 1.0.0 without this we cannot run plug-ins and other cool stuff. We currently have a non recommended build of Bukkit installed but there are way too many bugs and glitches to make the release an exciting, safe and an overall fun experience that we can all enjoy. So, lets not rush into things and ruin what we have worked on for about a month or two.
Our Original Plan
On the 17th of November 2011 we had finished Noobstown v5 ready for the Veterans and was planning to open as soon as Bukkit released, we expected Bukkit to update faster as they knew about the release date for a very long time but unfortunately for us Notch and the Mojang team have changed so much code that it is going to take longer than expected. We expect a safe build around Wednesday time on the 23rd of November, we hope anyway. Once we are able to release V5 successfully we will allow Veterans to login and play for 3 days then V5 wil be open to everyone. Once again we are sorry for the delay and keep your eyes pealed for updates!
What will happen on the day of the release (Veterans)
On the day of the release we will start white-listing each Veteran one by one, we'll make a post on the VIP section of the forum about opening and so forth. Once you guys login you'll be able to spend your donation points instantly and get working on what you wish to. (You may come across some issues with plugin set up and so forth on v5 but we'll slowly try and improve things over the three days as you guys are playing)
