Sup homies! Now that we're all back from vacations and whatnot, time for getting down to some updates.

Yea, the temporary server is working ok for most people (sorry cncr) but it's not nearly a long term solution. For example...it's running on the system I keep backup PDF's of all my financial documents and such...so I can't give other owners access to it to do things, like, say, fix it when it breaks. Also, my residential internet sucks. We're looking into hosts...we found one I kinda like, I just asked them some ?s and hopefully they'll get back to me soon.

We figgered out the shiz with the .com domain name...should have it back within 5-6 days. The current message about that is at the bottom of the link...it's very boring and the links are removed, but it's proof it's in progress :)

Finally, this week we're gonna enable the 1.0 map for the 1.0 survival challenge. It's a new world where like we talked about, no bringing in resources from other worlds and we play to get to the ender dragon as a team. I want to make it after we move hosts to a permanent deal, but realistically, we just need to do it. My plan is to enable that map Friday evening, so anyone that wants in gets in this weekend to play. I actually think we keep resetting this world each time we beat the dragon, then leave update map as 1.0 map since some people (::cough cough:: kermit) built permanently in update world.

So, I've started a little town in the new update world and I've been making a lot of progress. So far I've managed to make a few buildings including a green house, a tower, a safe house, and, what I like to call, a cobble house. After a simultaneous copyright law suit and company buy out, though, the family owned business Enderman Industries now owns the cobble house and, as I discovered, they have already hired their first employee. As part of the payment for "damages to the Cobble House© reputation", I am legally obligated to post this message from their "newest branch".

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good morning/early noon/late afternoon! I hope I didn't leave any important time zones out.

Well, it's slightly better than 2.1 anyway. Happy holidays to everyone on teh3l3m3nts! Let me know what your holiday plans are in the comments!

Morate's Pack v2.2

So, I had this great idea that will help to fund our server and could be really fun. Since videos count for more when it comes to Google ad revenue, what if we created a Youtube show that we could post each week? It could have screenshots, people's videos, and even news from the blog itself, as well advertising for people who want help on a certain ingame project. Either way, let me know what you guys think.
