News about recent server outage
01 Jun 2013, 10:28Our hosts @ damNation had a requirement for extra support the past day or two, focus was on that. So apologies for the extended downtime. This was caused by a perfect storm of hundreds of new players joining (Reddit!) and a temp RAMDISK issue. All is good on PvE, and FTB, but we had a bigger issue with PvP (towny corruption).
This was forcing the errors that some of you might have witnessed (logging in, unable to move) over the past couple of days.
Thankfully, towny takes its own backups, though sadly this has brought about some drastic changes to the Towny data files. I have been able to extract a good set of towny files. For four players, this means you get your town back. For some other players, you might wish to log in and check your town borders.
I have given all towns 25 town blocks for the inconvenience, but you will need to claim them.
I've double checked the logs and if I haven't already, I'll be in contact directly any affected players to explain the issues in person and answer any questions.

PvP back - 31 st may
31 May 2013, 01:09We had a slight corruption of our Towny File. It's taking exception to being restarted. It'll get sorted carefully in the server-time morning. So a few hours (like 20 or so max) until it's back up. This is a pretty rare occurrence, and as always the intention is NOT to have such long downtime. But tonight, given all that's occurred, it makes sense.
if you can't get your fix, check out the PvP arena options at mc.ragnacraft.com

Nations at War!
28 May 2013, 22:08Time has come.
The lines have been crossed. What line? What time? The time line. The beams. Chronological advantages are over. It's been two weeks. this would've happened earlier, but some technical issues got in the way.
As of Wednesday evening with slightly less than 24 hours notice ALL towns will be entered in to Nations to begin the world war.
To war.

Bounty is here (HeroBounty
minimum amount users must pay to post a bounty (includes reward + fee) = 500isk
The percentage of the amount paid that is taken as a fee for posting a bounty is 10%. The remaining portion makes up the reward for the bounty. e.g. Minimum amount is 500 - 50 isk is taken off - leaving 450 isk as the posted reward.
To accept a contract you must pay 5% of the award value.
When you take out a target, the target loses 3% of personal cash.
If you cancel a bounty you will have money return less 5%
You have 5 days to complete a bounty.
More than one person can accept a bounty.
You must wait 30 minutes before a bounty can be accepted
The owner's posting fee is split between hunters when a bounty is cancelled

19 May 2013, 23:56only two items in this patch, but both will be popular:
• Mob Arena - "four". Head west from spawn along the banks of the loch, and turn right at the end. In the valley, there is a mob arena. Type "/ma join four" to join and "/ma leave" to leave.
• Nether. Accessed via the portal near spawn. Only one portal. We do not allow cutom portals to be generated because of the ability they provide to grief. The new nether is not fully generated. It's 1200 diameter round, so it has generated a fortress.
More portals, arenas and (maybe) another nether fortress, to come....
