Teamspeak and Nether - Coming Soon!
The Nether and Teamspeak should hopefully arrive with us at the end of the week.
Once the nether arrives, for now mobs will be disabled within the nether until they are SMP ready (resource usage for the mobs is simply too high, and further tests will be need to be conducted until they are ready.)
The exact outcome of the nether for now will be unknown, whist it can be known as just a place to get resources, we want it to be more than that (a hell conversion of an old map?!) in which players can fight, and, well maybe wreck destruction.
The hell map will not be backed up in a usual procedure, however our stability has been high lately, I won't include the hell map in our usual back up during the testing phrase.
Teamspeak is also coming, we'll be trialing it out to see how resource usage is (it will also be seperate from the gameserver, so no need to worry about any extra load there.)
Obviously setting these up requires alot of testing and trial and error, so we'll be looking to it as smooth as possible, and if everything goes well, it will be a keeper.

I'd like to point out, that when you play on our Minecraft Server, or take part in our website community, that we expect a matter of respect towards other members and staff.
Disrespecting the server and its members, undermining others, as well as insulting them has a zero tolerence policy here, and you will find yourself banned from both the server and the website without an appeal.
Its time we stomped out this issue for good.
