Server Updated to MC 1.2.5

Unlike previous Minecraft updates this was not as urgent as they actually had some backwards compatibility in mind, I really liked this as it doesn't put so much pressure on everyone to rush the updates, everyone had a great time while waiting for things to get ready, and here we are.
Our server is running the latest Bukkit reccomended build, CraftBukkit 1.2.5-R1.0 (#2149)

Its been some rumors about a new ranking system and that is still in development, this update had to come before we made the new ranks. This will come slightly later as its still some work to be done around it.

There is some changes in the plugin list:


+ xSigns
Re-added this plugin that we lost a while ago, the author started updating this again which is great news, its simply redstone toggleable signs. I am glad to have this back, although very few actually used it.
Read their informational forum post for some info: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-xsigns

+ ButtonPromote
New plugin we intended to use with a new promotion and ranking system, this is in working order at the moment and will probably be used later. We will make a new post when that time is here.

Minecraft update again

Minecraft will update again tomorrow on Wednesday April 4, at 15:00 CEST to version 1.2.5.
This is no prediction it will happen for sure,
Sometime that day while starting to play Minecraft you will get this option which will ask you the same stupid question again to update or not to be updated

New update available

Would you like to update?

[Yes] or [Not now]

Tempting it might be very but our beloved Minecrafters are advised not to update in order to play on our minecraft server, we won't be able to upgrade until we have all updated plug-ins available and that of course might take a week or so.

And of course it is not the end of the world if you do update and receive this message

Disconnected by Server

Outdated server!

All you will require to do is take a few painful steps to downgrade your client in order to play again on Our Minecraft Server, just follow the downgrade tutorial or download the downgraded minecraft.jar from the download section to the right ---> if you wish to have some extra features you can also download the modded minecraft.jar from the download section too.

Happy Birthday Pig and the Worlds Autists

Today we celebrate World Autism Awareness Day.
Every year, autism organizations around the world celebrate the day with unique fundraising and
awareness-raising events.

We will not host any fundraisers but feel free to visit their website for more information about autism.

A huge coincidence is the fact that our dear member, lookapig5 got one year older the same day as autism awareness day. We are all very happy for you and wish you a great day with alot of cakes, candy and fun.
