Apparently tearing down my tree farm helps the lag over there a bit so I guess I'm killing that whole idea. Even more motivation to move to the country. :/

Can't see a tree farm coursing lag, my Guess is someone as built a large livestock farm again as I can hear loads of chickens clucking all the time.

BREAKING NEWS

So the server is currently down. Apparently Matt is doing something to the server, I don't know if how long will that be, just to let you guys know.

Update: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Matt wiped the items away. No more inventory and chests, Nadah, ALL EMPTY. >.>

Update 2: Apparently all the 1.8 stuff are gone as well. We will look for more as time passes by.

Update 3: It seems to only affect Armor Stands, Fences, and the like. Polished Andesite seems to be stable. We are still looking for more damage to the world.

So here's the deal. Because of the increase of stealing on the server, I had to revert the world to a 1.7 state, which in the process removed anything 1.8 related (including monuments and stuff earned there.) Because of this action, I hypothesize that the server itself had to reset the item list because all inventory items are gone as well as any items you may have had in chests. However, the world itself - i.e. the town and any buildings you may have had - still stand tall and I believe that's the most important part here.

The server itself was on Vanilla before, which inadvertently does not support any plugins. What this means is that there would have been no way at any point to put in plugins that would have allowed users to protect their items and stuff from griefing and robbery. As such, I took the Beastnode staff's advice and used a Spigot model which on paper should have worked to support 1.8 - as legit, the world name of it is "Mod: 1.7.10 (Build #1647 - 1.8 Supported)" - but for some bizarre reason it only supported the plugins and not 1.8. Hence, the position we are currently in.

As stated, items have been lost. However, I strongly believe that the gains outweigh the losses here. Not only did we gain the ability to lock our chests from theft again, but I gained my admin powers back, which means I can replace every single item that you lost. I don't need legitimacy if you had the item, enchanted or not, I can and will replace them for you. Down below, please create a list of all the items you need and I will place them in a locked chest in your house. I will be providing this service for 2 weeks time until September 27th, so please let me know what you need and I'll get it for you.

For Lockette to work, all preexisting chests need to broken and then placed again with the sign on it. Any chests that you had and aren't replaced are not protected and thus can be subjected to griefing.

Before you ask, I'm not reverting the server back to the Vanilla version. Again, I believe the gains are seriously outweighing the losses here as everything can be replaced once more. I was tired of hearing about people getting robbed left and right and I wasn't going to wait for a plugin that may not ever come out considering the amount of plugins that I've viewed that have been abandoned and not patched for further versions. However, just to make absolutely sure this isn't fixable with the item loss, I have contacted Beastnode to see if this was a glitch in the system and it's possible to get everyone's items back (because on paper, this shouldn't have happened.) If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to let me know.

"Mod: 1.7.10 (Build #1647 - 1.8 Supported)"

It means, it is running on 1.7.10 server side, and when you play 1.8 client side, it will work.

That probably is the reason why all of our items are gone, since 1.8 items (either new or old) will vanish when you revert back to an older version >.> Some of the 1.8 stuff is still here because it cant be interacted unless it breaks I guess. Like Polished Andesite for example.

Overall, I'm happy that our stuff is safe. I was constantly getting robbed by people. Some people discovered two of my chest areas and decided to help themselves to some of the hard-worked prismarine blocks that I fought to get. I didn't really appreciate the theft. Overall I trust you guys and love playing with you, but I don't like when my museum is vandalized AND my stuff is stolen.

Thank you, Matt, for hosting this fun place for us to enjoy and play together. It's been great and I am excited to see what we can do in the future. I hope everyone else is not too upset and especially that Matt will take the time to replenish any lost stock.

Sorry guys, I think I'm done.
My animals are loose, my farms are trampled as a result, everything I worked for is gone. The only trees I have left are spruce; all my variant saplings are gone. I spent the last three days being very frustrated in an ocean monument and came back to town four hours ago with my lovely new things that I was going to make pretty buildings with. I spent a while after that organizing all my items into their proper chests and doing new signs for everything. Old signs don't display right. My pretty doors and fences and gates don't exist. Banners are gone. All my wool, dye, food stores, stone, wood, enchanted everything- all the things I had that I was having fun with.

Starting over isn't fun. I started over once voluntarily, when I switched from Craftrum to here. That was fine. I started over again, involuntarily, when the server was lost the first time. I was less okay with that but. Got on with it. Only had half a house anyway. Second loss of the server, not even okay. Had a finished house and all the materials I wanted to get going. Had farms and animals and horses even. At that point, I did say that I didn't think I could deal with that reset. Kept going anyway, because I liked who I was playing with. I wanted to see this project succeed. And I was still having fun, mostly.
Now I'm not having fun. Losing everything is not fun. This is something I do in my downtime. I haven't really had time for it, but I've made time for it. Because I was having fun doing my own thing and hanging out. I'm no longer having fun. I really was enjoying 1.8 with everyone and the server in general. But I can't take this kind of loss again. It's frustrating and upsetting and I have enough damn stress in my life. It does not interest me to keep trying anymore.

It's kinda sad. I named this town, back when we were on Craftrum. I liked it a lot. In all the versions of Verdanturf I've built roads and farms and decorated and helped with community areas and tried to provide everything anyone would want because that's what's fun for me, is building and accumulating and being a total support class.
I think it's harder to go from having everything, to having nothing in the same place, for it all to be empty. At this point in the game for me, it would be easier to completely start over, instead of trying to fill what has been lost. But I'm not going to do that, not in this world. I don't feel up to it.
I kind of feel like I'm going to cry. It was kind of important to me, you know? Hanging out with friends, making pretty things, being mildly useful. But I really, really don't think that the theoretical good outweighs losing everything again. I don't understand why we couldn't have waited for 1.8 plugins. I don't know why we went 1.8 in the first place if plugins would die. I don't know why we couldn't have sussed out the thieves- "this stuff is missing? this person suddenly has this stuff? hmmmm." Well, at this point I can't really care. Only emotion I have is dejection, really.

Hah. Almost comes across as "things getting stolen? well let's not have anything to steal", doesn't it?

Good luck with your buildings and that. Might come back if you decide to host Geoff-style events. As in, give everyone what **** they need for the game. God knows I ain't gonna have anything.

Well, if you really want to put it that way, and just replace the items, I kinda wish it is 1.8, since it looks like it got reverted to 1.7.10 :x

I'll give a list later of what will I need when you guys give another statement on this debacle :x

EDIT: I have confirmed that Matt reverted the world back to 1.7.10, that's why all the stuff is gone. Tried using the 1.7.10 version, and I could join the server, where you shouldn't if the server is 1.8

I'm sorry but I'm done also. I didn't even agree to updating the server to 1.8 in the first place, as I knew that the performance issues were gonna come into play. Then I get told that the update was a forced update... which was a lie, as I see now the server is back to 1.7.10. I think I even said to someone to wait for 1.8.1 as 1.x (x being the number) is always the buggiest.

Since Penta and I are both out, feel free to do whatever with the house I guess. Farms in the basement are still set up if you want to tend them, there's a place to grow giant mushrooms, most of the sheep and chickens and rabbits are probably in there though certainly scattered. Ender Chest can be moved with Silk Touch if you get that again. Don't know how villager house is but the farms out there should still have melon, pumpkin, sugar cane, wheat, carrots, and potatoes and there should be trades up for those if you wanna get dia tools and certain enchants faster. Dont let them out the fences if you wanna keep them tho.

Like others I will now be leaving the server, all the stuff I worked hard to get is gone and some thinks like the Diamonds I had I never got to use.
All my signs are messed up saying null on them and the town center lag is still as bad as ever, and with other people leaving the server all the time the multiplayer aspect gets worse.
Of course it was fun whist it lasted and I would be happy to start again on a new server with you guys, but I feel this one has ran its course for me.

I think many of you are rashly overreacting... He said he would reimburse us for the blocks we lost.

Not only did we gain the ability to lock our chests from theft again, but I gained my admin powers back, which means I can replace every single item that you lost. I don't need legitimacy if you had the item, enchanted or not, I can and will replace them for you.
Not only that, but the new blocks are still intact. The rail station that I built out of the new -ite blocks is still completely in existence, the Villager memorial still has its Prismarine Bricks, and, most importantly, Lord Granite still hails! The monument that Anna and I drained yesterday is still there, and still drained, and still composed of Prismarine. Better yet, I don't have to deal with the annoying Qwilfish anymore. This setback is only temporary until the plugins are updated to support 1.8.

I don't think you should vent your rage towards the server and Matt's decision, but rather towards the thieves and griefers who don't know how to play responsibly. You guys complained about your stuff being stolen, and this was the only way to fix it until the plugins are updated.

Just a minor issue: when you're inside a monument, the game thinks that you are flying and disconnects you from the server because flying is not enabled.

To be fair Wobbu I don't think people are overacting but the fact people have lost everything is annoying I know stuff can be replaced is only useful if you can remember what it was you lost.
Also with the chests, having a good whitelist in place should mean lockette is not needed as all members can be trusted and untrusted parties weeded out.

Well, at least this solves my issue of having no idea what to do with the chests of cobble I'd collected. I'll start work on fixing up the signs next time I'm on.

Anyway, here's what I lost (Well, that I care about, or can't replace that quick.)

2 diamonds picks
27 iron ingots
3 stacks and about a half of coal
full iron armor
1 stack and a half of glowstone dust
1 stack land about half lapis lazuli
4 obsidian
3 stacks redstone dust
19 diamonds
30 gold ingots
4 stacks spruce planks

Edit - House is by the Nether portal in town, the one with the partiall constructed farm on top of it.

Which is why I said I didn't care if you didn't know the exact number/item you had on you; that's why I said I'm giving people till the 27th to give people whatever items they need. And a white list was implemented; however, people still took advantage of a situation that worked in their favor when Lockette went down. When someone asks to join the server, what am I supposed to say to them? No your suspicious on PC? Of course not. I give everyone a clean slate when they join the server and they'll get to stay on unless reasons dictate otherwise.

I'm on a train right now and will be on the server in about an hour to restore your items. They'll be in a chest protected by Lockette near your house.

Like with Mr.X, I'll be able to get this for you when I get home from my train ride that I'm currently on. If you don't mind the enchanted pickaxe is going to be the last thing I make, reason being that. I have to manually level myself with bottles of enchanting to reach level 30 and if it was anything like when I made Klippy his Silk Touch pick it might take awhile. I'll get you everything else on that list first before I start attacking the enchanted items. Your house is the huge monolith on the mountain at the outskirts of town right?

Also today I learned you can make coal blocks lol.

Disappointed in how people have reacted, especially with how generous Matt has been. Not only does he pay for the server from his own pocket, but offers to compensate any items lost. Oh well. People will be people.

In the end, it's just a game and if you have enjoyed your time on the server, then there has been nothing lost. As I said, I have had people ruin displays in the museum, but I enjoy building them and it, overall, does not detract from my experience - especially when Matt will fix anything damaged or stolen.

ANYWAY! I will check the server later today to see what has been lost or not, then let you know, Matt. As long as I've got a good supply of my valuables (quartz, prismarine) I should be fine. :)

Wait, are you sure that the server is still 1.8 and you didn't inadvertently revert back to 1.7.10? Because, I really think that's the reason why all the items are gone, most of the interactive 1.8 stuff are gone, and I hypothesize that when you break 1.8 blocks, they won't give it back? Haven't tested that out yet.

Oh btw Matt, if you can just get into creative (which I think that's what you can and will do) you can enchant stuff by taking an enchanted book, the tool, and use an anvil, without spending the levels.

Anyways, I'll give the list later if I'm sure and it is totally confirmed that the server is still 1.8 and isn't reverted to 1.7.10 :x

The point of my post was to bring attention to how I personally felt about this, give my reasons and point of view, and be done. If you really want, I can try to explain myself further.
Like I said before, this is my third time being forced to start over. I do not like that. As you said, it is a game, and games are meant to be fun. At the point I'm no longer having fun, I may as well not play. Why would I? I'm under no obligation to stay. I have plenty of other entertaining things to do. I have other ways to chat with whoever I want to chat with from here. I have other Minecraft servers to play on, even, if I want to do so.
As for compensation of items, it's a personal view that may seem weird, but it's the kind of thing that has always, always applied to me. I prefer to work by myself, for my own things- this collaboration with Penta that I've been doing is really, really unusual for me. For the most part, as much as I can in life, I accomplish what I want by myself. I work for it and I learn how to do whatever I want to do. I learned CSS, HTML, and graphic design because I did not want to use others' work as themes. I know how to alter and make clothing because I wanted specific things. I learned to cook because I didn't want to eat what Mom made while she was a vegan. I don't like using hints or guides to further my progression in games. I'm stubborn as hell. So everything I build and make and collect, it's important to me because I did that. Well, and Penta, but as I said. Really unusual. The other part of it is, I don't like unfairness and I don't like estimation. I don't know exactly what I had. And if I guess, I'm either being too cautious and not getting my stuff, or overestimating and getting more than I had. Either one of those is terrible to me. Beyond that, we had a ****load of stuff. To replace all of that would be a massive chore.
So that's my take on the situation, and a bit of an insight into my weird worldview. But don't be postin' like that please. I ain't taking that kind of guilt trippy language when I shouldn't have anything to feel guilty about.

Wait, are you sure that the server is still 1.8 and you didn't inadvertently revert back to 1.7.10? Because, I really think that's the reason why all the items are gone, most of the interactive 1.8 stuff are gone, and I hypothesize that when you break 1.8 blocks, they won't give it back? Haven't tested that out yet.

Oh btw Matt, if you can just get into creative (which I think that's what you can and will do) you can enchant stuff by taking an enchanted book, the tool, and use an anvil, without spending the levels.

Anyways, I'll give the list later if I'm sure and it is totally confirmed that the server is still 1.8 and isn't reverted to 1.7.10 :x
The server is 1.7.10; Beastnode confirmed it.
