It’s come to my attention that it was possible to skip parts of the parkour in lobby to get a faster score. This was not intentional and these bypasses have been fixed.
Due to the use of these bypasses effecting the leaderboard, all parkour scores have been reset.
A few players have tried to claim structures in the Atoll server just to sell them, so let me make a little PSA:
Claiming land just to sell it off to someone else is a shitty move for some quick cash and it is NOT allowed. You cannot claim land that you just want to sell or that you don’t plan to build within. And, since players are trying to place just a few blocks to claim land, it is up to staff discretion if a build is significant enough to justify a claim.
If you want to sell a structure, make sure it is something that you built yourself, something someone else built and gave to you, or something that you modified and added value to (such as draining an entire guardian farm before selling it).
To celebrate the release of Atoll we are selling a limited edition rank named “Palmyra“! This rank is on sale for $50 and receives ALL the perks of the Ultimate rank (except custom prefixes).
The Palmyra Atoll is one of the Northern Line Islands south of Hawaii. It is said to be “a place of strangeness and menace” with passing boats reporting that they see ghostly lights and many ships wrecking on its shores. You can also find the critically endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtles there!
This rank will be available until Sunday, March 31st, at 23:59 CDT! Grab it while you can!
Atoll has opened it’s doors, come join us!
The time is finally here! Atoll will be opened one hour from now. Please note, the atoll spawn is still a work in progress. Also, if you find any bugs, please report them immediately! There may be some bugs since this server has not been tested by a large audience before.
Want your stuff moved over? You can request a staff member to move stuff with worldedit IF your stuff is not built into the terrain or bigger than 50x50x50. This means we can move small builds as well as collections of chests for you (I suggest consolidating your stuff into chests and having us move all the chests over at once). If you want your builds or chests moved to Atoll, please request this before March 31st!
As you know, inventories sync between servers so you can also move over your items manually.
We’ll see you on Atoll in 1 hour!
After the upgrade to multiple machines the servers have been preforming great, however as you might have noticed there are still lag spikes. These lag spikes were being caused by people teleporting while riding on pets. Sadly the MyPet developer has not been able to fix this yet. Due to this we have no choice but to disable riding on MyPets until it is fixed.
Valley was down earlier today because it was crashing while starting up. We believe the cause was the plug-in “VotingPlugin”. After removing the plug-in, the server appears to be running like normal.
Notice: Valley is unable to process votes right now because the plug-in is disabled!
We are looking into having a custom plug-in written to replace the unstable plugin and do not currently plan to reinstall the unstable plug-in.
While we look for a custom plug-in to be written, we will reinstall an older version of VotingPlugin that did not give us any troubles.
All of the Minecraft server instances crashed around 6:30AM UTC on March 8th. We are still looking into the logs that were generated to determine possible causes, but so far we know that the crash was caused by some sort of issue related to handling a specific user’s vehicle (possibly a minecart, boat, or MyPet) and it was the same user that went on each server and crashed each server immediately after joining.
The very first step we took in resolving this issue was banning that player. Then, while trying to extract the logs from the crash, we somehow managed to cause a second crash, likely related to the method we used to transfer the 5.1GB log files.
All of the servers are back online now and appear to be operating like normal. We will attempt to determine the exact cause of the initial crash and implement a solution for it, but due to the nature of the situation, we will not be publishing any further developments on the situation.
Our host has completed their emergency maintenance and connection to the US has been re-established. Our services should be accessible again.
They are still conducting repairs on the original line, but we do not expect any further downtime. You can view status updates from the host here:
UPDATE 3: They’ve replaced the damaged fiber and are in the process of rolling all of the connections over to the new link.
UPDATE 2: They’ve determined it is an issue with the fiber connection from Washington to Beauharnois (the datacenter location) so it only affects US players.
UPDATE: Our host has confirmed that the cluster of servers that our hardware is located within is currently having some network issues. They are already working on resolving it. There is no action needed by us – we just need to wait.
We are aware that there are some network issues involving our servers at the moment. All three of our physical machines appear to be very slow to respond and occasionally unable to send outgoing packets. As we have not changed any configurations recently, and things were running fine earlier this week, we believe the issue is on our hosts end NOT on our end.
At this time we are investigating the issue but believe that this will only be a matter of waiting for our host to resolve the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.
