2015 is finally here! Happy new year! Its hard to believe that a little more than a year ago, MCFun Central was still a private server being built. Now look where we are.
In this post, I want to give a final status update on Extrillius and what's going to happen for the next week.
Tomorrow is the big day. We're going to be buying and beginning the setup of all the Extrillius servers: Prison, Skywars, Skyblock, Creative, Survival, KitPvP, Factions, Parkour, Color Shuffle, and Build It. We also will have Boson X, but that is not going to be released along with the network because it requires a custom plugin that is still in development.
The bill for MCFun Central is due on the 9th of every month. That means you probably won't notice much of a difference while we are in this process; you will still be able to play on MCFun Central until January 9th. If, for some reason, the setup process exceeds the 9th, there will be a short period where you won't be able to play on any servers. I don't know the policy on MCProHosting for changing servers, but I'll live chat them. What I do know is that nothing will be lost. All your player data and all the server data for the games that already exist will not be lost. That means all that hard-earned money will not be lost, and all your favorite parkour and KitPvP maps will still be there. Who needs the extra work when everything we already have is fine? That also takes part of the bulk of the bunch of servers that we have to set up off of us.
Next, let's talk about changes to the way the server will function. Since Extrillius is a network, you will notice a difference in the overall performance of the server. Right now, we have different worlds for each server. That means we have to stuff all of our plugins on the one server and make sure that they don't interfere. This closes some opportunities for better plugins, because some plugins depend on your server being dedicated to that one game, or whatever the plugin is for. Now that we're a network, we can reopen the doors to getting those plugins. There will be little to no other worlds on each server, and we won't have 40 plugins. Unfortunately, because we can only afford small servers, we will have a low player capacity. Many of you know that we use MCProHosting as our server hoster. Their small plan (the one that we are buying) only has 18 player slots max. That means we won't have a bunch of players on each server. But don't worry -- as soon as each server fills up, we will upgrade it to unlimited slots!
Another thing that will change is the donation packages. If you've ever typed /buy, you'll notice that there are only 2 packages: KitPvP Wizard, and $500,000. On Extrillius, not only will we have 6 packages for the whole server, we will use various packages for each minigame.
We're all really excited for Extrillius, and we hope you are too! We have high hopes for this year. Happy new year! We'll make another blog post as soon as Extrillius is live!
