We plan on moving the MC server to a different data center within the next 1-3 weeks. The new server will probably be more powerful, but in in a fairly negligible way for Alice and Vincent.
The main difference will be that the server will now be located in (eastern) North America, whereas it is currently in Germany. Some people have had intermittent network connectivity problems with our current data center so those issues may be resolved.
As far as downtime goes, we plan on the server being down at most 5 minutes between server shut down on the old system and server startup on the new system. However, the address that you use to connect to the servers will likely point to the old IP address for some time due to caching done by your internet service provider, so it may take up 24 hours for the change to kick in. To work around that, we plan to issue new, temporary addresses for Vincent and Alice pointing to the new IP address.

Here's the status of things:
- I've been working on WorldEdit a lot recently, so I have not been around a lot. A lot of long-desired features like Forge support and entity support are coming, so that's been taking a bit of time.
- If you sent me a PM, I plan on replying soon.
- If you wanted to join spawn build, PM me if you're still waiting. Spawn build is still ongoing but I've been absent, so I'm not sure how it is going at the moment. If we already exchanged contact information, message me if we haven't yet figured things out.
- A lot of mods are being updated for MC 1.7.10 and we're going to start a 1.7.10 modpack very soon. I can't tell you when we'll actually be able to update, but we'll give 1-3 weeks' notice most likely.
- If there's some technical problem that you or the server is experiencing, I have not heard about it, so PM me if it's important.

The server has been crashing lately again and unfortunately, it's been down for hours at a time. For now, we've brought the server back up but we will need to have it crash again to identify the cause -- sorry!

We ran into some unfortunate (and currently partly unexplained) issues that required restoring the server from backup.
While we keep hourly, daily, monthly backups both on-site and off-site, something happened with the hourly backups in the past 24 hours where we couldn't restore from them anymore. Unfortunately, that meant that we had to roll back the server back (EDIT: only affects Alice) 12 hours. That said, the server was down for many hours before everything went nuts (due to a server crash), so at least that minimized the damage somewhat.
If you have lost items / builds, please contact a moderator and we can arrange for refunds (or "roll forwards" from alternate backups).
Both Vincent and Alice should be back up.

Due to a crash that resulted in a massive rollback I've shutdown the server until the Code Monkeys are back from their coffee break.-

EDIT: Server is now back up!

The servers are temporarily down due to a (scheduled) system update. We're working on getting everything back to working order ASAP.

We are looking for people who would be interested in helping build Alice 1.7's next spawn.
There is no Alice 1.7 modpack yet, as we would like to use MC 1.7.10 for the server, but most mods are only available for MC 1.6.4 or MC 1.7.2 at this time. For the time being, we are building with just vanilla Minecraft.
If you are interested, please post on this thread. If possible, please provide screenshots. It would also be great if you had Skype.
You can also PM me.

While we don't have 1.7 modpack yet and it may be several weeks until we do, we can begin building spawn using a vanilla world.
Before we actually get to building anything though, we need to brainstorm.
Anyone got any suggestions as to a possible theme or setting? Pictures are welcome.
