Important Announcement

First things first, donations WILL be refunded.

I have decided to stop running this Minecraft server. When me and Dan first started it, it was fantastic, but ever since Hey0 took a dump on us things have gone downhill, so here's the story:

So after the laggy-as-hell VPS experiment we got a dedicated server out in Germany... but now we can't pay for it. It's a German company who won't accept PayPal, who's system doesn't like the CVC security code on cards so only accepts certain types and cant take a bank transfer easily from the UK. I have searched and searched around for a dedicated hosting provider in the EU that will take VISA and/or PayPal for £45 - £50 for 4GB RAM with no setup fee but we have to face the fact that £50 won't cover that, we need something more like £70 to go with a decent company (provided there are no setup fees there either...).

Secondly, Hey0 left us in the dark with the 1.2 update, he said he'd update it one last time and he didn't, Bukkit didn't even attempt it (I know they say they did) and their system is still too early on in development to be stable and lastly kMod (a fix of hMod) is too buggy for use. Since the 1.2 update we don't even see a quarter of the amount of players the server used to see and it just isn't viable keeping it running for that reason, if we could.

Thirdly, I didn't realise how much time it would take up. It has taken hours and hours of fixes when things go wrong and hours when Notch updates the server, after having to sit in a Linux Ubuntu shell fixing stuff, the urge to actually play the damn game is out of the window and with Sixth Form I have far too much work to do without having to worry about the Minecraft server going down for some stupid memory leak.

I will put the relevant files up for download (the world, cuboid protection files, warps etc) for anyone who wants to take our server and start it back up.

It didn't last very long but it was fun.

I would like to also say a very special thanks to all those who donated to help the server along the way

Shame about the server having to close but understandable, I suppose it has been fun while it lasted.

[N!ck]

I can temporarily put it on my UK VPS or French Dedi?

You could do, it needs a fairly powerful CPU (it spikes often if chunks need generating) and ~2GB dedicating to the Minecraft server it self.

Arrhh this sucks I was getting really rich

CPU shouldn't really be an issue on the VPS. The VPS has access to 4 x 2.4GHz Nehalem cores and the dedi has a 3.0GHz Pentium 4 (LOL netburst achitecture) with hyperthreading. Memory could be though. The VPS has 1.5GB.

Oh nooo, such a shame!

It was a really nice server to go on!
