Unfortunately its time to shut down the server for good, minecraft seems to have run it course with the server being silent for a long time now.
I'll leave it up for a couple more weeks in case you want to take note of the your base co-ords, as we will have download links after the shutdown so you can paste any of the worlds to insert into a single player game on your own PC. I want everyone to have the opportunity to save all your builds that for many of you were created over several years.
Thank you to the many Admins (past & present) that helped keep the server running and the cheaters banned and the 891 registered users that made it fun to be online. I think the server has been online for about 6 years, majority of servers disappear fairly quickly as people have no idea of the time involved even with trusted players as admins to keep it all running.
I won't be letting the domain name expire, I'd prefer no one else gets the domain...but I'm open to a LOT of money to change my mind
The web site will stay online and the forum open, and of course the server its running on. I may be interested in the future to host another multiplayer game, preferably one that doesn't need as much of a time commitment to keep it running. So if you have any ideas let me know. Although it will be a while before I'd even consider hosting another game server.
It would be great if some of the inactive players that were around during the server's early days would leave a message on the web site. I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks for playing on and supporting the server.
All the best,
Mark (your ex-dictator for life)
UPDATE - Minecraft shutdown will be 18th May, 20:00 (GMT+10)
