    General - Scheduled server downtime

    EST - 8/24 12:00AM (Midnight) - 8/24 4:00 AM
    PST - 8/23 9:00 PM - 8/24 1:00AM

    Only one server at a time will be down. We will likely start with whichever server (Creative or Survival) which has the least players online at the time when the maintenance window begins. Vanilla+ should be online the entire time, it doesn't require any maintenance.
    • Max plans on being on to implement all the proposed changes to VIP
    • Massive database maintenance will be performed, updating all plugins configuration and move around the databases so they have their own database per plugin per server
    • Overall cleanup of other misc stuff
    General - Front page server status
    Front page status list now showing players online for all Minecraft servers (Survival, Creative, Vanilla+, and Feed the Beast) and of course Space Engineers servers. Vanilla+ and Feed the Beast now just have a description of the server instead of the server's hostname.

    General - Database Backups
    Backup policies for all databases setup (for the first time in over a year) this has been something I've been wanting to do for quite some time but never did and after losing OnTime data really decided this was important to get done. They are now being backed up nightly with about a month of backups per database table.

    General - Plugin Updates
    ezeiger92 has been doing some plugin updates, one of the biggest one was HerochatBungeeBridge. The new version displays prefixes, suffixes, and colors across servers; it's really nice! Other plugins which got updated whereHolographicDisplays and MobArena. If you notice any problems with these plugins, feel free to shout at Erik!

    Survival - Loss of OnTime data
    Sad news everyone :-( , we lost our OnTime data on survival (first/last seen was maintained) if people are enraged about losing their ontime data, maybe we can figure out a way for those who care to update their data manually giving them some approximate accommodation for lost time (maybe reply to this thread with what you feel your OnTime should be). Also we might update the voting data for people from Ndv's vote logs so OnTime is in sync with the vote plugin.

    Survival - Rent management for spawn Shops / Plots
    Continued work on the /rent payment system on spawn shops. We have rent payment working, though the charging of rupies is currently disabled until it's official and ready for full rollout. Any rent payments will be rolled back to the manual payments made for the few people alpha testing the rent management system. We will have the ability to begin your rentals soon, ezeiger92 is working hard on that bit.

    Creative - Building Contests
    Navarog just announced that we're having our first Creative contests all day this Saturday! As long as enough players are online contests will be held. There will be group vs. group and player vs. player contests, which will take one hour and one half hour, respectively. More information about this week's contest in this thread. Good luck with your Medieval builds, I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

    Creative - OnTime updated from FirstLastSeen
    You should now notice that if you do /ontime <yourname> on the Creative server, it should now properly show your original join date. We started using OnTime back in March, but I never got around to doing the data migration because I wanted to test it out on Survival first. FirstLastSeen should be going away after our scheduled maintenance this weekend because it's obselete with OnTime running on all our servers.

    Vanilla - Prelaunch / Launch of the new Vanilla+ server
    We fired up Vanilla+, might even fully launch it depending on ezeiger92 availability to wrap up the final bits. If you want to find out more about the Vanilla+ server, check out this thread and pay particular attention to the todo list. Note that as of right now the server is in pre-launch more and the map is temporary. Prepare for launch folks because we're very close to officially launching the server with a new map. Likely to happen sometime this weekend (or possibly even today).

    Space Engineers - Community servers back online, more Mods!
    Space Engineers community servers were down all day Thurday due to a patch bug, back online now. More mods installed (more gestures). Looks like a bunch of people are playing again on the public server. Lots of stability and performance improvements from KSWH.

    Maybe set up a google docs form for anyone who cares, and point it to a public spreadsheet so any discrepancies can be pointed out quickly?

    It occurred to me that the ontime top should be in my logs. This was back on 25th June last time I checked it.

    Great idea, Stephen. It took me way longer then it should have, but I found a more up to date version (16th of this month) if it helps.

    Ok all those updated, writting a silly little algorythm to calculate approximately how much played time you should have based on first / last seen. That should give everyone at least something if they don't know what their number SHOULD be. All the calculated fake numbers came in below the top 15. But that way people at least have some kind of played time.
