We are back up and running. It was some sort of issue with mcpc, lots of other servers have been getting this too. However it is all fixed, nothing has been lost and yo can play on the server again.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT The server is down at the minute due to it randomly deciding to allocate only about 1k of ram. It will be up soon but until then you could always play on our hexxit server.

Insanity Pie, you probably won't read this but I would simply like to clear a few matters up Firstly we asked you for the time it happened so we could look it up in chatlogs, however as you didn't give that I did not wish to spend hours wading through 5 million words of chat just to find who killed you in pvp. I also have no idea what our anti hack plugin is called due to me only running the front end of the server, hoop is in charge of the back end. All I know is that we have some sort of antihack plugin which reports hackers to me. If you think that is some sort of "I'm better than you" attitude then you are mistaken, that is a formal, matter of fact way of writing intended to get the point across clearly and concisely. Cilaren's explanation of what you were doing wrong with towny is completely correct, you need to claim land to build there, if you didn't want to play on pvp then why didn't you go to the pve world and start mining. You are given a 1 week notice before the pve world resets and you can ask any of the admins to copy it into a safe world. It is not my fault your brother is refusing to play on any server, if you didn't want to be attacked then you could have built your base in pve or claimed land in city world. I believe that the attacker was either invisible or disguised as a mob using morph, certain methods of invisibility in the modpack don't produce particles so they're very hard to spot. I have not seen any rudeness caused by my staff and would like to see some evidence. All in all you should not have built your base in pvp unless you want to do pvp, you could have built in city (seeing as you know so much about towny, that you can spot "permission errors") or just built in pve, the other option is to protect your land in pvp with factions.

Our server has just had an update mainly involving lag and ores, all changes are listed below. - Max player cap has been decreased from 100 to 50, we have never had any more than 42 players on our servers so it will not really effect us but will reduce lag. - The maximum view distance for players has been decreased from 10 to 8, this will reduce server load as less land has to be loaded. This is equivalent to normal render distance, setting it to far will do nothing. After quite a lot of complaints from the community we have also changed ores, diamonds will now spawn from level 0-20 in clusters of 10 with up to 6 clusters per chunk. Gold spawns at level 0-16 in clusters of 10 with up to 8 per chunk.

Yah sorry about that gamersonly, we had a weird crash last night. But it was fixed when the server, we are investigating the cause but we believe it may have been the host. We are back up now so feel free to come on, i'm sure the community will give you a warm welcome. Also i'd like to give a warm welcome to our three new pmods, flyger, hodger and phoenix have been dedicated memebers of the server and hold some of the highest playtimes.

Problem with the flans mod arenas caused certain people to lose inventories. Talk to me and I will refund what you lost. That problem is now fixed, me and admins will not use use the flans arenas in future. We are crashing a little bit but we aim to fix that in the next few minutes. There will also be a pvp event tonight at around 11pm GMT

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT The server is down at the minute due to a failsafe in the towny plugin activating, it should be fixed in about 8 hours. For now feel free to play on the hexxit server as it's still going strong. Nothing will be lost and the server will be up and running as soon as we fix the problem.

As I said earlier you were in the PVP world, therefore you took the risk of having your base raided. Someone must have found your base and tped their friends there, it is possible that the person who found it may have drunk a potion of invisibility therefore giving the appearance of hacking while in truth playing legitimatly. The pve world is set up so you don't have to make a town you can just go ahead and mine away, there is no massive conspiracy against you, it is simply that you had not read the rules. Main world is for making a town and a completely safe house, it is NOT designed for chopping trees or mining. I noticed that your pvp base was not hidden or defended in anyway so you only have yourself to blame when it got raided, you should use a faction on the pvp world for keeping your stuff safe. If you want proof of our capability please take a look at the hexxit server and see how good it is, you were not ignored, me and another admin came to your little cave and tried to calm the situation down, however that was impossible with you complaining about how we were abusing power. As I said to you that night, none of my admins have ever abused the powers given to them, they were carefully selected and monitored to ensure they were the best choices for the positions. Hodger, To become a pmod please go to the applications tab on the website and follow the instructions.

Just a quick update to inform you of what has been going on with the server 1) The nether, end, pvp and pve portals are now set up so you can go to those worlds via portals. (word of warning PVE will reset often, use main for your house) 2) We have a new spawn, you will now spawn in a room with warp signs and an (unfinished) help room. Our next objective is to get the help room set up and make a portal to the tropics.

Mimshu, titans and minions can be used however you want on non towny worlds. We simply request that you don't use them to raid on any world with towny, as those worlds are were people are not supposed to have their bases raided so they can build what they want without fear.

Insanity Pie, as I told you when the event happened, either Gatlet tpaed them or they found your base and tpaed eachother too it. As you were in pvp world I could not make them return your stuff, that is the risk you take with living in pvp. No one on this server is a hacker else the antihack plugin would have detected them, also none of my admins are abusing their powers, they have strict rules to follow to prevent any abuse. The pvp or pve worlds can be used for resource gathering, main is only designed for making your base in complete safety, not for chopping trees. Me and the other admins have a lot of experience running servers and our plugins are working perfectly, the problems must be at your end. Also your point about no one wanting to play is not valid as we almost always have at least 4 players on and around 20 at peak times.
