The Server Situation

Submitted by H4X on Sat, 03/23/2013 - 01:35

As most of you know by now, the monkeys who hosted our beefy minecraft server have done something to it, and they don't really know what yet (seriously), it's been 1week ~4 days of scratching heads and eating bananana's. You can read our converstations with them here.

The good news is, we have setup a new rig elsewhere (tired of waiting on these monkeys) which is 2-3 times more powerful! Along with this decision to get a more beefier minecraft server, we have decided to make a complete fresh start on the servers by clearing out all the dead weight, silly plugins, leaderboards and bringing a new fresh experience to the users.

MrSnowGlobe has been hard at work rebuilding the minecraft servers and implementing new and exciting features that our WoM SMP team are putting forward. We are also listening to the community feedback in the below post on the front page.

We do have backups, which has aided us in reviewing configs on the server at a fast pace. The primary backups were taken out with the above service disruption however our secondary backup server is online but is not as recent and reliable as we would like.

We have been looking for an excuse to clear everything and rebuild for performance and this is the perfect time.

We apologize for the inconvenience and understand that some people will leave and some will join to enjoy a fresh new World of Minecraft!

Apologies for the disruptive game play on the game servers today as I performed performance upgrades on both of the servers.

Both servers are back up and running now - (with better performance I hope).

SMP Server Updated to 1.3.1

Submitted by H4X on Sat, 08/11/2012 - 01:48

WoM Public SMP has been updated to 1.3.1

Most of you heard through the grapevine that were working on a new map for this update, which is now live!

But what about my builds and stuff on the old map??!?D:? - We are running multiple maps off the same server now (kinda like WoM Realms) so we have both the old map and the new one!

Existing members will still go back to where they were last standing on the old map, new members will go straight to the new map. People on the old map can get to the new map by using the portal at spawn or typing /spawn. You can return to the old map using a portal.

The old map is still playable, however we encourage members to move to the new map, we may make the old map read-only after a certain time frame, plenty of warning will be given.

Build Moves will be organised shortly. Please note: Only good quality structures will be approved for moving.

Portals - We now have portals to help you get around the maps/worlds. These can be found in world spawns and will be slowly rolled out across various locations by our Portal Rollout Team (highly trained monkeys, you know the drill).

/sethome - If you /sethome on the new world it will replace your /home tp location on all worlds. If you have lost your old home due to this, don't fear we have your old /home locations saved.

There will no doubt still be quite a few small issues to iron out, please let us know below if you come across any issues.

Last but not least, Happy Birthday Lunick!
