When will the server be updated?

<< < (2/4) > >>

RubensCherub:
 You have no idea how much your sweet words mean to me. Thank you so very much, Panda.

 I am so sorry because I truly love the Famcraft community with all my heart. You are not just a group of random strangers, you are like family to me. I do understand everyone is here for the community, and that means so much to me.

 You have all stuck with us through thick and thin. You've been here through all kinds of changes and adjustments. You've shown support to one another and to the staff team. You've been an amazing and inspiring group of people and it's been an absolute honor to get to know you all.
  I really want to be able to offer you all the current version of the game because I know how much everyone would enjoy having the new blocks and items. You all deserve that.

 I've held on to the hope of an update for many months. In recent weeks it's become painfully clear to me that it very likely will not be happening.

 Minecraft 1.8 has been out almost a year now. Our reasons for waiting to update were important. We needed to wait until all of the core plugins had updated enough that we could know player's homes and items would be safe, their means of transport would be secure and the cleans they worked so hard to build would move over in their entirety and without issue, among other things.

 Around the time of the update to 1.8, there was some drama in the Minecraft community (NOT Famcraft, just Minecraft) and many of the developers stopped working on the plugins we needed.
 Famcraft depends on around 40 plugins to keep things as they are. Many of these plugins we can work around or live without, even though we really like them. Many of the plugins are fundamental to the server because we will always keep the same map.
  If we were moving to a new map, it would not have been so hard but it matters so much to us to keep all of our player's work in place. We love our map. It's home to us all and we'd never change it.

 Very slowly, the plugin developers began to return and update some of our most crucial plugins. LWC, Precious Stones, StarGates (so important to us!) and others. After many months of waiting, and many months of players being sooo patient, it finally looked like updating would be a viable option!
 
 Around the same time as it started becoming feasible to update the server, the owners and most of the admin team got too busy with irl things to have any time to work on it. They have jobs and school and some of them even picked up and moved across the country! They have all manner of real-life things going on that pretty much take up all the time they used to have for Famcraft.
 They are still here for emergencies, but beyond that they are pretty much busy with their own stuff now.I am very happy for them all because these are all very positive life changes for them!
 
 I am still here. I haven't gone anywhere. I am on irc around the clock, and watching console too. I watch for players or staff to need me, swoop in game and help out and then log out of the game to do other things. I am never gone. I promise I won't be leaving yall. I am here.

 I pushed so hard for the update. We even did a lot of testing. Honestly, we got it to the point of just a few more hours of work and testing before it could have gone live.
 Sadly, I absolutely can not do it alone. As much as I have Famcraft's best interest at heart, at the end of the day  I am just a player with a red name who can place spawners and StarGates. I do not have the ability to update for us without the help of the real admins.

 I'm sorry because I know I let everyone down by providing false hope that an update was coming soon. I am always honest with you all. At the time I told everyone we would be updating soon it was my understanding that we would be. I was not trying to be misleading, I promise.

 Again, Panda. Thank you so much for your very kind words. <3

Anna, you shouldn't be sorry for something you can't control. I know you might feel a little bad about telling people that we would be updating, but something came up after you told people that you couldn't possibly have controlled. I know you love us and want the best for us, but an update won't really change anything. An update would be cool, but it isn't necessary. An update won't change how much we love famcraft. As I said before, don't stress yourself over this. Just take your time and relax. We all will still love you and all the other admins no matter what.

Miss_Ghouls:
I agree 100% with what Panda said :) There's absolutely no need to apologize for something that just can't be helped <3 We all totally understand, and have explained countless times, that real life comes before the game -- but it's always fun to come back here to be with our second families, especially when we need it most! :D If we do ever get to update, it's going to be well worth it. In the meantime, we're all here to help however we can, just as we always have been :) We're not goin' anywhere just because an update isn't gonna happen :D

ParagliderPanda:
If there is one thing that famcraft has taught me, it's to never rush anything. Rushing makes mistakes and nobody wants mistakes. Take your time, relax, and have a good time. Don't feel like you have to get something done quickly. The only time rushin is OK is if you're from Russia. That joke would've been much funnier verbally.

TrueMinecraftGuy:
I like how this turned from 1.8 to praising panda
