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!

Permissions

A small issue with the permissions config was brought to my attention today, which uncovered a HUGE oversight in how permissions are actually set up on the server. I'm hoping to have this sorted before the night is through. In the meantime the server may go up and down a few times for testing purposes. Sorry about the inconvenience.

UPDATE: All permissions are fixed, tested, and working properly. I had to rebuild the permission config from scratch, but now they all work better and properly! Also I was able to resolve some of the limitations we were previously experiencing with permissions, so in other words we can do a lot more with permissions now, and as a result more rank types are on the way! The server will be back up and fully functional as soon as the backup is finished!

Server Posting

Today I have posted the server on the "MineCraft Servers" list at www.minecraftservers.org! Everyone pay warm welcome to the players of MinceCraftServers.org! Cheers everyone!

Today the server went live again.

The server has now been up for 2 hours and 23 minutes without any issue's since going live (don't worry, it was tested for stability much longer than this ^_^). All still appears to be well and functioning properly. Its good to be back! Also, as the server went live I posted it on www.minecraft-server-list.com. Welcome users of www.minecraft-server-list.com!

Final server reconstruction update.

As I speak to you now, the server is finished being put back together, tested, and it is completely and totally ready for play! It is scheduled to go live 12/5/12 at 7pm EST. Very excited to see you all soon!

Pending final testing...

THE SERVER IS READY FOR PLAY!!! I'll be doing some final testing over the weekend. But to my knowledge it is ready and scheduled for play starting at 7pm on 12/7/12 (Wednesday next week). See you all soon!

Play Testing!

As of tonight, the server is ready for playtesting!!! Let me know if you want to help!

Woo!

Huge thanks to DriftngSno tonight for helping me test more permissions and bugs on the server! We're nearly ready for play! I just need to streamline the server performance a little yet, and get rid of some of the broadcast messages the server spits out, and we'll be all set!

TexturePack Update

I forgot to mention something in the last post! Last night I finished updating the PGS Creative Texture pack to be Minecraft 1.4.5 compliant! It is now available to download! You can find the link for it on the right side of this page under the "Helpful Links" section. Enjoy!

Server reconstruction update Number 4

Hey guys, I spent all last night merging backups and re-writing the launcher, backup, and compression scripts the server uses. Doesn't sound like a lot of work (and it was pretty easy too) but it was very time consuming. Today I have the server doing some self maintenance tasks and re-rendering the maps. Once that is done the only thing left to do is test out some more permissions! Talk to you guys again real soon.

File Transfer

All of the files needed to run the server have finally finished transferring to the host that we will be using! I am at this moment beginning the process of merging the backups and final bug/permissions testing! It really wont be long now. Even I am at the edge of my seat! Well I had better get to working on that then! Talk to you guys again real soon!

Texturepack update... update

As the title says, this post is an update about how I am doing on updating the PGS Creative texturepack. I thought it was all set to go. Then I realized the mob textures are broken. Should be an easy fix. Ill let you know when it is ready for play and available to download for sure.

Server reconstruction update number three

Files have been transferring from the machine we were using to test and reconstruct most of the server to the actual public server for about four hours now and its about a third if the way done transferring. Once that is finished we are going ti have to do some more reconstruction of the server files and merge a couple of the backups. Then once that is finished we'll be doing more permission testing and bug fixing as the merge will most likely cause some more issues. Ill keep you posted as to how all that is going!

Reconstruction update number two (like a poo!)

Sup yah guys! So, great news. Barney has got the new server built and we are going to start migrating all the minecraft server files over to it shortly. Nearly everything will be ready at that point. Ill just need to test/fix various permissions and bugs then we will be going live!

Server reconstruction update.

Today I have finished cleaning the worlds of garbage, and preparing the new spawn in a fresh brand new world. And also this very website is now fully functional. I have also finished updating the PGS-MC texture pack and will be available to download soon!

P.s. This site also now has mobile browser support.

Thanks!

I just wanted to make a shout out real quick to Tollman36 and Barney! They have been totally awesome helping me get everything back up and running!

We have returned!

Hello all!
I, Panopticon36, am very very happy to announce the return of the Phoenix Gaming Syndicate MineCraft Server! The server went down about 9 months due to technical problems with the hardware that hosted the server. We now have everything back and are getting it ready for play! Currently we are rebuilding a few things, fixing bugs, and cleaning up the server a little bit. As you can clearly see, we have a new website as well! I'll be making a lot of posts here to keep everyone informed as to what is going on. The server should be up and ready for play in about 2 weeks assuming everything stays on schedule. Well I had better get back to work, there is much to be done!
