Short downtime will occur at 18:00 when bukkit and other features will be upgraded.

I'd like to start off this saying hello to all our old faces, nice for you all to come back! I'm sure both users old and new can share expierences for each other on whats been happening with the server!

We now seem to have reached some sort of stability now on crazy-fools.co.uk after weeks of distress, and we're seeing you are all happy too with the recent popularity levels! Saturday was our most popular day in the history of CF | UK in which just under 500 users signed into CF | UK! Can we beat that now? Who knows?

We're currently happy and set into the our UK zone, however we will be looking to move over to Germany soon so we can further improve our capibilitys and do more with our server! This won't be happening for another month or two however until we get a guarenteed move with zero issues [we really don't want any mroe of them].

I'd like to make a special welcome to our three new [two old] helpers: SampleName, Rhazorsharp. and sn1p3r522! Welcome guys!

A special mention to Aconan too, congratulations on finally getting your upgrade

Not much else to say on upcoming upgrades on the inside of the server, temp banning will be making a return, e-mails are now active [yay~] so expect some CF | UK spam in your inbox soon, and other little pieces will be changed on the website to make the overall expierence better.

Past updates, if you haven't been on the server lately, is Lockette chest protection, and SignColours by Discharge. Both excellent additions to the server.

Now, to finish off this newspost, theres a number of members I would like to say thanks to:

- Thank you for your donations, your contributions help the server keep on running!

Link Account is already in, however its jailing functions have been disabled until Monday to give everyone a chance to link their accounts.

I recommend everyone to do this now, in case you have any troubles linking, and find yourself in a Jail on Monday.

How To Link:

GO HERE: http://www.crazy-fools.co.uk/p/mc/index.php
Type in your Minecraft username and click Submit!
Collect your code, log onto the server.
In the server, type /linkacc 12345678
12345678 being replaced with your CODE.
If successfull, it will tell you were successfully linked.

Note: It is CASE SENSITIVE, and remember to check for differences between O [the letter] and 0 [the number]

Any troubles, PM me!

Seems to have crashed, its back up now.

If all goes well, I will be looking to implement link account this weekend.

It is important I make this aware as soon as possible, due to the long absence of the feature.

Link account was originally a feature to allow website-server communication and dis-allowed new users from building/destroying on the server.

This was a unique feature to CF | UK, as it was fully automatic and helped prevent griefing.

It is being re-implemented on the server shortly, however a beta link account is currently on the website.

It is recommended you link your account ASAP.

Linking invovles typing in your MINECRAFT username into the box, upon hitting submit you will recieve a 8 character unique code, which you will use to register yourself on the server once the feature is online.

Linking your account has removed the old features, however has introduced these ones:
- Find out who other in-game nicknames are on the website
- Allow to build outside the GuestJail

The GuestJail will be a limited area in which if you haven't linked your account, will be teleported to, and unable to escape.

Of course you will be able to build in there, however you will not be able to leave until you linked your account.

We're trialing a bukkit release on our main server just now, which means it has been upgraded to version 1.3

All those who upgraded can now connect to the main server once more.

Area52's TNT Zone has been wiped and changed to a 1.3 server, for those who couldn't wait to hit that update button.



tntzone.area52.crazy-fools.co.uk

Mojang have just released 1.3, best advice is don't update if you do want to play on the server until we have confirmation of a bukkit update.

Also, public distrubution of old Minecraft files are also not permitted here.
