I got bored and decided to make a volcano, download will be up tomorrow!

I released a download for a lot of the Siege Weapons we use Including the Mûmakil and Grond! http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/lotr---siege-weapons/

y you ban lord_azaghal? now who will call nazgul's cowards with me
or team up with dale swords master and take most of erebor back?

Awwww agreat cosmetic reward that for sure would have gotten alot of money, now just passes away. It worked what made it diswork

Aww no glowing armour

Well great, glowing armour didn't work... because fuck coding..

VIPs now get a glowing helmet and PROs & ELITEs now get all of their armour glowing on Siege, now you can easily spot who are the commanding officers of your army!

finished your map, it was pretty easy and I just got me a pickaxe and escaped your ending trap

Just because I forgot to mention it in my previous post, we would very much appreciate it if you favorite and/or diamond our new Puzzle map

Doing it would greatly help improving the project popularity.

Vinyl Fantasy episode 3 is out!

After working on a fucking new map for 12+ hours straight my fucking pc dies to quit it and corrupt the map by deleting half the chunks, another day fucking wasted.

Have you guys been watching our new series?

I got bored, drew this, and then colored it on the computer. But idk how to shade with this crappy editing software I use....

So this month is the first month in 1.5+ year we LOST money on the server costs. I really hope the donations start getting back on, because if we keep losing this much money a month I can't keep the server up. (Costs: 200€/mo, Earned this month: 155€)

Osgiliath has been released!!
Download: http://planetminecraft.com/project/osgiliath---ancient-capital-of-gondor

I've noticed a lot of people joining Anrza and Weby's server to "spy on them", "try to infiltrate them" or to "grief their builds".

Please just leave them and continue on our server. Constantly going on their server will only cause more problems between their server and ours.

Soon...

This is a followup post on my previous one.

I've received a lot of nice reactions from people telling me how much they love the server and don't want it to go. I've also been going through some harsh personal situations during the time I posted this first post, so that's why I posted it a bit too soon.

To tell you, we currently have no intentions of stopping the server yet. We will continue as planned and keep the server up.

Our first priority is to finish Osgiliath, which we plan releasing by this weekend or early next week. After this we will focus on improving Siege, LMS & LS and developing RP.

We don't know what Microsoft may do, what will happen to Bukkit and if we'll really be able to continue, but we will definitely try.

Thank you for all your support in this difficult situation.

Ok, I'm gonna be straight forward with this.
I highly doubt I'm going to continue hosting servers.
There is absolutely no future in Minecraft after what Mojang (or mainly Notch) did the past months.

Bukkit is going down with the DMCA, the EULA makes us earn barely any money, barely enough to stay alive, Microsoft is most likely going to make hosting servers way more expensive or put even more restrictions in earning money and other things.

I am spending about 8 hours a day on the servers on average, and I'm doing it all without getting anything in return, most likely wasting my time.

Furthermore, there's a lot of hate from people like Anrza and Weby, and people actually believing what they say. Some people actually left because of the stories they posted, without even waiting for my official reply on the matter.

So I'm spending about 8 hours a day on this, without getting money for it, getting a lot of hate and stress and most likely losing it all soon. I don't think there's any reason to continue with the servers. (Though YT and building are still things I can do)

I'm not saying this is a final decision, but it sure is something I'm very much considering.
