The server will be white-listed starting 11pm EST tonight until sometime tomorrow.
I am going to be removing ores from the newly generated sections of the PvP and Peaceful maps.
Those who are VIPs I want to remind you guys have our Vanilla server to pass the time on. Those who aren't feel free to hop into our IRC at http://www.shadecrest.com/irc

Blatca and I have gone through the list of all of our plugins and disabled some.
We got rid of 11 plugins, bringing our total down to 43. We have done this in order to cut down of some lag and just general server stability. Some of these were nice to have, but they aren't needed. Some on the list stopped being updated too, and it's always best to have plugins that are updated up to the latest versions of Bukkit for the best stability.
Here is how you are affected by:
- No more afk kicks
- No more /chunk me
- No more money from mobs/spawners
- No more money when breaking X amount of stone when mining
- No more /sneak
- No more magic carpet
- No more /mail
- No more automatic floating tree removal on loaded chunks
- No more SpoutFlight
Like I said some of those things were nice to have, but none were absolutely needed.
Also, I would like to consider removing mcmmo because it's in the top 5 as far as how much server resources it uses. The discussion about mcmmo is...
The server will be whitelisted on Dec 17th 2011 8am EST in order for us to do some maintenance. It's nothing in particular, but I thought you guys should know. Shouldn't be no more than an hour or so.
Starting now, instead of surprising everyone, we are going to warn you before doing anything like this so players don't get confused why they can't get on.
That's right we are now running 1.0! I know it took a long time, but we finally updated.
Everything went pretty smooth, but of course as with all major updates some things broke, and we also decided to make some changes.
- We removed Architect's world because the plugin that let you have different inventory in different world was giving us trouble, and we feel it's the best to keep the server just survival. We are most likely going to create another server that will be "creative" and use the architect world there. Possibly make it another VIP perk.
- We did not reset the nether yet, but that will be done before or sometime during the weekend. I want to make it so you guys can create your own portals just like in single player to make the game more interesting, however it's a bit difficult to do when we have multiple worlds, so I need to do some research first to see what would be the best way to do it.
Update: Looks like we might have to wait for MultiVerse to update to get the...
It looks like there won't be any more Minecraft releases until the Minecon, which is still exactly a month away from today. I don't think we should wait this long to separate the PvP and Peaceful sides of the map into two maps, so we are going to do that Thursday 10/13/2011 at 6am EST.
The process will be same as before. The server will be white-listed while this is done.

I was going to reset everyone's locations on the spawn map, but this would make everyone lose their current inventories, so I didn't. The reason I wanted to do that is because I was going to cut the map, and make it really small, so it's just spawn and nothing else.
However I didn't do that (will in a week or so). So now if you spawn on the spawn map (main one) you will get a message that says "You are not allowed here" or something along the lines of that, and you will not be able to move. Just do...
