Joel Samson (Owner) was just having a break for the past few weeks. However,he just went back to working on the server yesterday and hopefully the server will be coming back up within the few upcoming days! We do and appreciate your understanding and we do apologize for any delay.

Hello everyone,

Its been a long time since I have done a post, but I wanted to be the one to tell you why I have pushed the 1.5 release back to the 22nd of March.

The reason for this, is because we are still waiting on a Beta Build of CraftBukkit 1.5, which has yet to be done, there is not anything we can really do but unless you can develop all your plugins yourself. You as a server owner want to make sure the CraftBukkit build you are running is stable. I have always waited for Beta Builds of CraftBukkit for release and always will.

I simply can not be the one dealing with all the issues with the CraftBukkit software that I CAN NOT fix. I am not a CraftBukkit developer and neither do I plan to apply to be one. And right now they are simply too many problems with the current version of CraftBukkit, and plugins have yet to all be updated and released.

For example, in the newest CraftBukkit snapshot. There are hundreds if not thousands of bugs. One of which that drives me crazy is dispensers! Any player at any time can put any item in any dispenser, pull on the level and the items will simply duplicate inside the dispenser.

This is just one example of many bugs I have found in the current developer builds of CraftBukkit, and I cant have people making dispensers, finding one diamonds and then running around with 20,000 diamonds 5 minutes later.

This is the reason I am waiting for a Beta Build of Crafbukkit before releasing, and I was hoping within a week they would have a proper build, but they do not. Which is why I NEED to decide what to do. That is to wait and make sure everything is running correctly before release.

If you want to help Bukkit go faster please download a build from: http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/ and find bugs and report them to the Bukkit Issue tracker. Other then that we can simply wait. On that list you see all the RBs (Recommended Builds), Beta Builds and Developer Builds of CraftBukkit.

Once we have a Beta Build I can do the final touches and release.

Thank you for understanding.

- Joel

Whats up guys and gals,

Probably most of you have spotted the "Time gauge" on the right side of the home page stating the ETA of the server update to "Minecraft 1.5". There's been a ton of questions being asked by players and most of the questions still remain un-answered. So I'll go on making a post about the whole server update which will be taking place very soon,hopefully.

Whats up guys,

As some of you are acquainted with the news of the "Arena" world being released VERY soon,I'd like to make a server-wide announcement drawing your attention to a few of points!
