Minecraft 1.5 released!

Version 1.5 of Minecraft has been released, which added many more features and fixed more bugs. However, this of course means that the PGS MC server will be down or be unstable for the next few days.

Our server runs on the CraftBukkit API, which means we are at the mercy of the Bukkit Development Team to get a new working 1.5 build of CraftBukkit pushed out to the public. Bukkit Dev always does everything they can as fast as possible while still upholding the highest standard of quality, so no worries there. It will take them a few days to get even a development build off the ground, then all the plug-ins have to be updated before they will work.

It will be at least a week yet.  If not longer.  This is why patches are such a pain in my Ass now haha.  I just yesterday got all the plug'ins for 1.4.7 to work right.  Now I can begin again.

And yes I know how much that sucks, I've been doing this dance for 3 years now. I however will be taking this opportunity to do some performance optimizations to the server and get that all nice and clean, So that way when we are back up and running we will be running well. I'll also be working on updating the PGS Creative texture pack. See you all very soon. -Pano-

Other Projects

Sorry I havent been posting here as often or been on the server as much lately. I've started working on another project, the "Super Pantendo", and thats been fairly involving. Also there have been some personal issue's that popped up recently which have also been a bit time consuming/stressful.

In other news, I'm looking into and developing a PGS Terraria server to run along side our MineCraft server! Possibly new details involving that to come!

Lots of new features and stuff!

Today I made a lot of changes to the server. First of all, we now have a ticket system. So if you have any trouble on the server just type /ticket and then a detailed description of your problem, and someone in our staff will see the issue you want to bring to our attention, and we will address it. I also added a few other administrative plugins to the server, but you needn't worry about those.

Second of all, and much more excitingly, We now have a flatland! What is exciting about that you ask? Well, it is no ordinary flatland, it is a PlotLand! In the PlotLand world, you may claim a plot for your own, and you will be the only player that can build there (unless you want to add your friends to the plot of course). Different ranks are aloud different number of claims, for more info on that head over to the ranks page. This world will be replacing the "unrestricted creative" world, as that often was a source for griefers as there were literally no restrictions as to who could build or destroy. The unrestricted world will still be a part of the server while we migrate things out of it. Happy building everyone!

Migration

As a way to cut down on lag, we have moved to PGS.ServeGame.Com ingame to connect from now on. Thanks!

Adventure time!!!

This Saturday at 3PM EST, and every Saturday at 3PM that follows, we will be loading adventure maps! We should be doing a different one every week and it'll be a blast! EVERYONE is invited! This week we are doing a custom map by Tollman36, and the theme is ZOMBIE SURVIVAL!!! See you then!

Loads of stuff!

Lots of updates to tell you all about. Well first and for-most, MineCraft 1.4.6 is out! This is very exciting of course, but a couple issue's do arise as a result of this. 1.4.6 is not yet entirely compatible with the server. As a result of this, the server is running in a whitelisted/trusted only mode. If you feel you belong on the whitelist, please get ahold of us via our official PGS-MC Skype. The skype username is PgsMC.Sykpe

The final order of business today is that the new PGS Texture pack is finished, uploaded, tested, and fully works with MineCraft 1.4.6. Download it using the link to the right!

New ranking system!

We now have 3 ranks available. Miner, Builder, and Constructor. Instead of just the Builder rank which used to be $7.50. Miner is any price you want it to be. Builder is now $5 and Constructor is $10. Go ahead and check out the Ranks Page to learn more!
