progress on the server

Hello, everyone. I just wanted to tell you guys that progress is going well.
We have done a massive amount of work to get this up and running; just letting you guys know that things are going smoothly and we will have a dedicated server up and running soon!

Yay! Thanks for the update

Grazi Nuke. Grazi. I can't wait to get back on and chill with all of you now that I have my internet back. Now to go finish browsing what I've missed on the forums, and pass out as the last day or so has been exhausting.

A bit more info: As far as I know (but I haven't been on much this week) most of the important stuff has been built. What is left now is technical stuff (like plugins, regioning and permissions). We should have a staff meeting again this Sunday and we will be able to give you a more detailed report then (with, hopefully, a clearer indication of when, more or less, the server will be up).

We'll keep you updated.

Okay, here is another progress report:

The world size has been set and it is HUGE. Like mega, flipping huge! The world is 10.000x10.000 and a section of 2.000x10.000 of that is Freebuild. To give you an idea of how mega huge that is, the Freebuild section is actually bigger than our old Freebuild world. Nice, ey? We thought so

What still needs to be done: some minor stuff, like making portals to Freebuild and finishing roads. Some major stuff, like the regioning in Nova Lux and Freebuild. We will start on that asap. Hopefully even today, but it all depends on whether Miner and Vaughan have the time. They are setting up the regioning system, so that plots actually make sense We shall have order!

AC is working on the main website. From what I hear, it is going to be pretty fancy. I can't tell you much about the progress on that, though, as I haven't spoken to AC myself.

If I understood right, most (if not all) of the plugins have been installed and are working. Now it is just a matter of getting the server spic-and-span for you guys to see

If you have any other questions, let me know.

/megaclap staff

u guys truly are awsome =D

that is big!, wong it cause some lag with a size of that tho...?

based on old land prices i wil have to raise....600,000,000 credits....fun...

Oh, I can also report that the old prices probably won't be used anymore. We will keep the old height divisions in unclaimed (40 height, 80, bedrock-sky) but the price will be different (most likely higher, to keep land truly valuable). Can't say what they will be, though. We need to think it out further before we decide on a final price. But, no worries, we will let you know as soon as all that has been finalized.

more money....fun

im just wondering does anyone know how big the old matcatia was

About 5000 by 5000

*seconds the /megaclap*

lol i wasn't kidding when i said we were making progress

any estimated days or number of weeks until public server

No promises on specific days, but very VERY soon now.
We're setting plugins done, we finished some of the regioning; after that, we need to do a few double-checks to make sure everything works and we can open.

awesome

yayyyyyy

*is both excited and scared to see the new prices for land*

Are we going to have an updating map of the world on the website, like there was of Matcatia? Though it may be more fun to explore it first...

AC is looking in to that.

Update on progress:
-Website is being constructed.
-Group permissions are still being tweaked a bit as we figure out who should be able to do what.
-Building is finished. (as far as I know)
-The last few plug-ins shouldn't give us any trouble if there are no conflict issues.
