Christmas Cancellation is Cancelled

It is with great joy to inform you all that Christmas is no longer cancelled.

Instead, we are cranking the dial up to double Christmas mode. We are going to be RUNNING Christmas this year! Yes! MCAU is going to be at the helm of Christmas 2013!

What does this mean? Well, it means that the following rules will replace the old ones:

1. It is now a crime to not own a Christmas tree

2. You must give at least one gift to another player.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this year it is MCAU’s job to make Christmas the best time of the year. Yes, we are Making Christmas!

THIS YEAR, CHRISTMAS WILL BE OURS!

Christmas is Cancelled on MCAU

Dear players.

It is with great regret to inform you all that Christmas has been cancelled this year. Below are several server rules that have now come into effect following the cancellation:

1. It is against the law to speak of Santa Claus, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Jesus, Rudolf, Vixen or any other Christmas icons. The penalty can range from a jail sentence to a ban.

2. The colours Red and Green are now banned when making coloured wool. Penalty for this rule can lead to jail time.

3. Singing Christmas Carols into chat or mumble is strictly forbidden.

4. Wearing a Christmas themed skin is now grounds for banning.

5. Quoting a movie that is christmas themed such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, “The Grinch”, “Elf” and the Home Alone series is against the law. Doing so will result in jail time and a mute.

6. Christmas trees are strictly forbidden. There are to be absolutely NO Christmas trees made this year.

7. Giving gifts is strictly forbidden. Giving anyone a gift can result in jail time and/or banning.

8. Receiving gifts is strictly forbidden. Giving anyone a gift can result in jail time and or/banning.

9. Naming any animals after Santa’s reindeer will result in the animal being put down and the owner being jailed.

10. Christmas lunch and dinner is now a criminal act, and taking part in such activities will result in jail and/or banning.

Stay safe, do not celebrate Christmas here on MCAU or you will be dealt with accordingly. We apologise for any inconvenience.

1.7.2 is released, however…

As the title says, 1.7.2 is released.

However, we are of course going to stay on 1.6.4 until we have the new server/map ready to go. We will not be going to a temporary map Because Bukkit is slow, we are. So, go and enjoy your last moments being able to build on the current MCAU map before we made it a read-only map. It will be accessible from within the Event/Creative server, just like the two previous maps.

We’ll make another announcement once we’re up and running on 1.7.2

Cheerio!

1.6.4 has been released, but, you’ll have to stick with 1.6.2

Edit: All done, we’re running 1.6.4 now, so you can upgrade normally.

1.6.4 was released this morning (our time), and we’re still working on getting everything upgraded.

The handy thing about the new launcher is that you can simply pick what version you want to play! So stick with 1.6.2 for the moment, and as soon as we can, we’ll upgrade to 1.6.4

MCAU: Now with 1.6!

Just a quick post to let you guys know that the survival server is now fully up-and-running on 1.6, so feel free to update your client and jump on!

It may take a little while for PVP and Creative/Events to catch up, but hopefully not too long.

If you have any issues feel free to jump into IRC and we’ll try to help. (Note: If you do join IRC, stick around in the channel for a while if no one gets to you immediately. We’re not all watching the screen 24/7. 😉
