Aurora

For the people that don't know the server is merging, read the announcement below.

The IP: play.minecrafttunnel.com

I am moving items and buildings over, if you're a sponsor your /chest has already been moved. It takes time for me to do this so please be patient; I'm not online all day, and I have things to do myself. I didn't necessarily want to do this but I think it's best. If you're not a builder send me a message and I'll set your rank, if you donated, I will set you to the nearest rank or the next highest up.

There's been quite a few people against what I'm doing, and against me in general.. If there's a problem or you have something to say, just message me. Yes, I've been stressed out, so I might not say stuff the best way sometimes. It's better to message me then not say anything and put it against me, don't take me as a bad person? I hate stuff being put against me, even stuff in the past, most of all in a situation like this, eh? I'm a nice...

Hello Auroraianans!

I want your opinion on a situation that I have been wanting to do. There's a couple of people that already know exactly what I want to do, but for the ones who don't - here it is.

Most of you probably can tell that Aurora doesn't have many active players right now, and it's not fun with only a few online to chat with. I plan to combine Aurora with my other server, MinecraftTunnel, which has a larger player-base. I am not sure what to do right now, it seems like the active players have just "moved on", and we're hardly getting people anymore.

I think that combining Aurora into my other server would be good, generally because there would be more players, which in the long run increases the community as a whole, brings new people and generally there's more people to communicate with... I hate seeing at night that "0/100 Players" on here. By...

I've been thinking about creating a separate, hardcore PvP server to replace PvP worlds. Right now it's pretty hard to change things in PvP, basically because not all plugins are multiworld or work well with only a single world. Also if something breaks on updates, it could cause quite a hassle.

Here's the pros and cons of this:

PROS:
* Hardcore PvP
* More plugins dedicated to PvP that can't be added to a single world, which means better PvP for hardcore PvP players.
* Survival players won't see PvP-meant chat messages
* Better survival, more survival plugins (Hardcore survival/building? for Aurora main server?)
* Faster updates and fixes on Bukkit/Minecraft releases

CONS:
* No more "walk through a portal to go to PvP"
* Not able to see both server chats at once (May be possible though!)

If you have a comment post it in this thread, I want some feedback on this. I personally like this and have thought about doing it much before.

If this is done, the new PvP...

TreeAssist is added to the server now. Some might know what this is, a plugin like this was on Aurora a very long time ago. Essentially what it does, is when you cut a log on a tree, the whole tree breaks and drops all logs. It might also replant a sapling for you to keep you're tree farm alive :>

If you want to disable auto-desturction on trees type "/treeassist toggle" and you won't cut the whole tree down. This is good if you're editing a log house with leaves, or just don't like the feature that this adds.

Thanks!
