The Imagine Nation Is NOT Dead!

I am Sorry

I am very sorry that I have been almost non-existent for weeks. I did not mean to. Through a sequence of events, I have a lot of homework: 16 hours at the minimum. This has made my days very busy, working to get caught up. However, this is no excuse for me at least not messaging you. I am very sorry I did not. In the future, I will try to reply to whatever messages you put on the site as soon as I can instead of waiting until I finish my homework.

Still no Server

I would also like to apologize for the complete lack of a server of any shape or form after months. I am very sorry that is taking so long and I understand that the reason lays primarily with me. It is my fault that the team does not have donations and ads set up. I do not mean to sound too busy in real life, but the bombardment of homework has limited how much I can work on this. However, mostly it is because I haven't asked my dad yet if I can use his bank account. I have to use his because I am under 18, which means I can not set up ads and I cannot easily set up donations for the team. I don't know why I haven't asked him yet, but I haven't, though I will when he comes back from his trip on Tuesday.
I am hoping that I can open up the server in the first week of April. By then, ads and donations will be set up, but adequate money will not have come in yet. Instead, I plan on spending some of my own money to pay for the first month of the server. By the end of this first month, the money we get from ads should start coming in and paying for our server.
I would like to say that the server will be like it was before. Some of the plugins will not be on, but the major ones, like Grief Prevention and Essentials, will be. The others we can vote on, ones such as Machina Craft. Once we have got a good server, then I was thinking we will publicize our server and more players will come on it and we will be able to afford a server with less lag and more features. I will expand on some this subject, ideas for the server, in a post tomorrow or on Saturday.
Also, please do make suggestions. Ion has made it clear to me that I may have left you out of the picture in these big decisions. I apologize for this as well. I will try to state my ideas so you will know them and can comment them, but I also encourage you to make your own ideas on how you want the server to be so I can comment on them.
Sorry if this post isn't that good. I finished typing this at 2:30 in the morning so I didn't proofread it much. Also, for those of you expecting this to be my big post on the server, it isn't. My big post will be tomorrow or Saturday. Of course, if my post is too big, you might get many big posts. Instead, this post was more of an apology for my recent inactivity. I hope you will forgive me and together we can work together on bringing back our server, because the Imagine Nation is NOT dead!

  1. Couldn't everyone just go on MineCore while we try to get the server up since MineCore is basicly going to be like MineLife.

    3. I worked for 12 hard hours. I had homework in addition. On Monday, and Tuesday, I worked hard and had homework on those days. On Wednesday it was a race against time to finish permissions by 5:30 (I told Smart I would have the server up at this time) EST. I worked 12 hard hours and there are still things I need to fix but I'm working on it. I still want to have WorldGuard and GriefPrevention but if I use GriefPrevention, it won't let me build without claiming land (I don't want this because players should be able to mine without claiming) and WorldGuard causes issues with EntityEvents because every time a player gets hurt by a mob or a creeper explodes, the console outputs at least 20 lines of errors. I'll be fixing those issues sometime anyway.

      In summary, I worked hard to get the server up fast in 3 days and we're ready to play Minecraft and get started in MineCore BETA. Cya on the server !

    4. I can help you with setting up your server a bit. I know how to disable the GP creative mode claiming (that is what it is) in the config.

    1. I was thinking of titling this post that but thought it was a bit cliche. However, I really wanted to because I am reading the original Frankenstein book for school right now. Really good so far :D

    2. Do you know what a critical analysis is? It's a 7 page paper analyzing a book :P so I didn't mean criticize you :P

    3. Oh oops :P Now I get what you mean.
      Funny enough, I thought I typed this message 5 days ago then I checked back and went "Hey, where is my message?" :P

  5. You guys should probably put a post about MineCore to make people aware of it. The website is minecore.blogspot.com.
