This post is just intended to provide a bit more information about what happened just prior to the server going down. 1 - there had been multiple resets and limits to attempt to address the major outstanding issue that was affecting gameplay for the largest amount of players (lag), I also assume that these restarts were addressing other issues mentioned frequently on other threads including the TP issue 2 - Just prior to the server going down, all of the /commands stopped working for players on the server, chat was still working and you could move about in the location where you were. You could destroy blocks but not collect them. The terrain stopped generating and shortly after the server went down and has stayed down since that point. This is all I can report from a player perspective, but thought it might be helpful to those looking for some answers. From what I have stated above, these are issues that I have not experienced leading up to other restarts. As such they sound like indicators or serious issues. You add these serious issues on top of what must have been a mammoth effort to convert to 1.3 and you can understand that major issues such as these may take a while to fix. Hope that this is helpful, even if it is not the entire picture, but it is all that I can add to help the community understand.
"I want to stay in my cradle because walking sucks!" *sigh* just have a little patience. Do you really think improvements / changes are error free? They'll be fixed, the server will run just as good as it did before the upgrade, and everyone will be happy...until 1.4 The the whining will start all over again.
hey, 1.4 will most likely have the modding api and have several lighting fixes. :} i cant wait till 1.4
several other servers i have been on during the time i have been waiting for the relaunch have had lag also it seems that it is a problem over the board with 1.3.1 i have heard rumors of a 1.3.2 been launched to address the bugs and glitches although this could just be a lie it could b true and the sever owner is waiting to patch to 1.3.2 or just patching the bugs that currently exist only time will tell.
