There is a temporary whitelist for miniing worlds testing. See twitter :D

 

just be patient, rushing updates of this magnitude would be bad as bugs exploits would likely follow.
I'm sure Admin is working hard on it right this moment.

 

Just a quick question. Is the server going to be down all day? or will the mining world be the whitelist? just wondering if i should wait to get on the server

 

Well, it says "supertemporary" so i imagine it will be back within a few hours. But it is for the whole server, not just the mining worlds : l

 

well dang lol o well :/ its for the better! think positive guys lol i will stay offline for a few hours for updates. its for the good :)

 

Well guys, i think the server will be back up in a few hours since andrew is in the final stages as we could see on the forums. :D

 

:D

 

When you normally go to log in it has <server name> that you put in... below that is <message of the day> which usually says "#1 Major Economy Server" or something to that effect. It currently says:
MININGWORLD LAUNCH -1PM EST!

I would say, they are launching a new zone for you to go mine... and it will be back around 1:00pm eastern standard time. =D

Can't wait to see it... if I can ever stop farming long enough to go.
