Lots of updates all-around this week! The majority of the voting improvements highlighted in this thread have been carried out, and those that haven't are on their way. On both creative and survival, one VotePoint is earned from each vote. In the future, you'll be able to spend these at the vote shop on cool in-game perks and items using the "/voteshop" command, and in the case of survival, you can already directly convert them to rupies. 1 VotePoint = 100 rupies. Items in the vote shop will only be...

We are finally moving to 1.7.9 (yes, finally)! Hopefully we will get some new players to the server now that they won't have to downgrade their client to join.
Server is up and running!
Thanks ndvenckus1!
The switch to uuid's takes time, and the server is trying to parse all the names that have ever joined the server. Well, not all of them, but a lot of names!
So to the important part, what happens if you can't update because you have client mods that haven't updated?
Don't worry about it! Spigot is really nice and supports clients from 1.7.2 - 1.7.9
Q: But what about the new 1.7.10?
A: Fortunately, 1.7.10 is mainly a realms update, and works with our version of spigot

Summer Promotions
Really slow week this week, but hard work is being done behind the scenes to get the server ready for 1.8 and help reel in new members. The most important things going on right now are ensuring that our plugins are ready for 1.7.9, and working on the numerous changes to voting. What can you do in the meantime? Help bump our posts on the Minecraft Forums, tell your friends about the server, and most importantly, vote for the server! Summer is the best time to draw in new members.

Voting Improvements!Voting is the single most important thing any of us can do to help our servers grow, and the fact of the matter is, almost no one does it anymore. That includes the staff, and it includes me.
We don't blame you. Going to 8 external sites to complete an image captcha, watch an ad, fill in your username, and click submit all for a measly 800 rupies isn't the most fun. And even for those who don't mind putting in some effort to vote, sometimes you just can't remember. We have many changes planned for the way our voting system works so that you want to vote, but before any of them are implemented, we'd like to get some community input. Here is what we have planned so far:
- Implementing iFrames so you don't have to leave the site to vote - An iFrame, to put it simply, is a viewing window to another webpage. So instead of clicking 8 links, you can vote on the first site,...

Summary:- Survival - Spawn updates
- Survival - Arcadian War Tomorrow!
- Survival/Creative - The Move to UUIDs
The secret admin shop now has a warp which will automatically invite players that find it. The chests have also had a few updates:
- All signs that aren't being used are marked "Sold Out" in place of the price
- All item frames contain renamed items, so hovering over them will display the item's name
- Sponge has been removed for the time being
- Added squid spawn eggs!
- /wlist will list all players on the server, separated by world (like /glist for our servers)
- /coordinates [/coords, /cd] displays your coordinates as clickable text. When clicked, the coordinates are copied into your chat box so you can easily send them to someone...

General - Website problems
It's amazing when we have a fabulous weekly update but there's a possibility people won't see it the day it gets posted. As I'm sure most of you have noticed, our website is having issues. The machine that Max is hosting our website on is having some hardware issues and will be replaced. Until then the website will continue to be up and down. Good news is that this has no effect on the game servers or Teamspeak as those are on different machines.
