Server: Minecraft server situation

posted May 13, 12 - Ashes, MC, Minecraft, Server

Hello folks just wanted to let the community know what's going to happen with the Ashes Minecraft server ahead of time.

Come June 8th we will no longer have our Minecraft server hosted through our current server host, so we will need to rent a new server else where.

Jeremiah has funded and maintained our current server for quite a number of months now so I would like to say a HUGE thank you to him (thanks bro!) and that all of us appreciate the work he has put into it.

My funds are somewhat tight at the moment but I will try my best to get a new server online as soon as possible, also any advice on quality hosts please feel free to drop me a message.

A day or so prior to June 8th we will take a final backup of the server, we will then host this map online for you lot to download and enjoy.

Again thank you to Jeremiah for all of his hard work with maintaining our server, thank you to our awesome moderators, and thank you to all those that have used our server (you guys are awesome).

I'll post up more details on the new server once I have them.

Aardvark If money is a problem i could probably donate a bit to keep the server running, and i think a few other players would be ...

Volardin Thanks for the hard work so far. Feel free to host the next one in australia so I lag less =P

diggerjohn99 Thanks Jere and Pauleh. I am sure you'll find a way.

Gaming: The Secret Diablo Wars

All things evil come our way during this weekend, we have the launch of Diablo 3 and the beta weekend event of The Secret World, followed by a short blast of Guild Wars 2.

Diablo 3 launches on the 15th of May, I know many people out there have being itching to have a crack at this game. Since allot of folk from the Ashes community are gearing up to spend the next few months locked away in some dark room while fighting the hordes of hell, I figure why do it alone? Head over to this thread on the forums and leave your BattleTag for others to add and friend you.

The Secret World launches it's first beta weekend event, you can gain access to this beta by pre-purchasing the game, earning a key via the secret war Facebook game or by following theses instructions and nabbing a key with minimum hassle.

It is unknown if Ashes will have a chapter for this game, but hopefully after this weekend we will have our answer, so make sure you get in touch with us by visiting this thread.

ArenaNet made a surprise announcement recently, that the servers will

be open on Monday May 14th between 11am and 6pm PDT (-7 GMT). This test is limited to people that have pre-purchased, it's also worth noting that the focus of this test is to stress test the servers, my guess is it has something to do with the overflow but who knows considering they are testing during a low peak time.

You can use existing characters from the last beta weekend event so come join us for a few hours of fun, we are on the Jade Quarry server, just drop your name in this thread and I'll send out a guild invite.

That's all folks, I hope everyone from Ashes has a fantastic gaming filled weekend.

Community: Website revamping

posted May 7, 12 - Ashes, Community, Feedback, Website

Hey folks just a quick update! The Ashes website has become somewhat cluttered overtime with extra pages and modules that serve no purpose, unfinished designs, lack of content, etc, So I'm hoping to address theses issues over the coming month/s.

A few changes that have happened already:

Website design has changed (WIP).
Unused/obsolete pages and modules have been removed.
Various forum sections have been merged.
News tags wiped for a fresh start (more organised).
News titles sorted into categories. (see below)

Community title would cover anything related to the Ashes community such as the site.

Gaming/Game title would cover game news that is related to the Ashes Community.

Server title would cover news relating to our game servers.

Chapter/Guild title would cover guild/chapter related news.

Event event titles will differ depending on the type of events i.e guild event, server event, etc.

More titles will be added as time goes on, most are self explanatory otherwise just ask.

More changes will be happening to the website and I would love to hear some feedback on what you would like to see or change.
