It has been decided that PvpWorld should be reset to scratch. This decision was came to based on a number of reasons, and with it a number of changes are being made to it.

The reasons for its reset are as follows...
1)The moving and changing of spawners in pvpworld lowers its difficulty far to much, and allows your wealth outside pvp world to influence it which is something that we wanted to avoid by having it be seperated from the other worlds.
2) With the recent addition of factions a lot of players have become interested in PvpWorld so it makes sense that with this great new plugin and with how many people have become interested in it, it is for the best to set everyone off on even ground so that we can have some real battles on our hands XD.

Now for the changes with its reset.

1) Flying is utterly disabled in PvpWorld so now you can actually build a large walled above ground base withot people being able to just fly over the walls.
2) PvPWorld will no longer show up on dynmap.
3) No Mod Commands will even function in PvpWorld
4) Heal and the tp commands are also disabled.

So get out there and have fun.

This isn't a decision that I am easilly coming to, and is probally going to knock several of your socks off. I have been debating doing this for the last few weeks, but I have decided to step down as a super mod, and for the most part I will be leaving the server.

I have had a blast here since I joined never doubt that. Its just that I graduated from highschool almost two years ago, and since then my life has basically been on pause. I just feel that its time that I started moving forward again. I will pop in now, and then but for the most part I won't be getting on. I figure doing a thread like this would be the best course of action, rather than just vanishing for for a month, and having you guys wonder.

I am leaving my stuff with blind. Its been awesome guys peace.

Since our server uses Spout I recommend that those who don't or haven't heard of it download SpoutCraft it is a client that is put out and maintained by some of the top people at Bukkit. Using it will allow you to access features of Spout only available to those with the client such as chunk caching which helps reduce bandwidth usage both for the server and for yourself. Also you can join servers that don't have spout using the client so no worries there for those who play on multiple. For those who use mods such as vips and the fly mod you can still use mods only instead of dealing with the .minecraft folder you deal with the .spoutcraft and install the mods in the same way as normal.

Some of the features the client provides are

• Optional performance improvements inspired by OptiFine
  
• Optional advanced video options
  
• HD fonts and BetterGrass integrated
  
• HD textures support integrated
  
• Sign rendering performance improvements
  
• Biome water colors (watercolor.png usage)
  
• SetRemainingAir/SetMaximumAir render correctly
  
• Configurable chunk caching
  
• Enabling/disabling of visual cheats as set by Spout on a server.

This means you no longer have to use the patcher to use hd texture packs. So I'd check it out

If you have not bought Portal yet now is your chance to get it free from Valve right here http://store.steampowered.com/app/400/ until September 20th. If you install it by then it is yours forever.
