Quick note about 1.6
Well, Mojang's having "that time of the month," so it's time for Eagleworld to be outdated for a while.
As usual, updating to 1.6 completely obliterates the Bukkit server wrapper and any form of functionality it might have had in 1.5. Therefore, the Bukkit Team has to work their ass off to get craftbukkit back into working order. Therefore, I cannot update to 1.6 at all, unless we lose just about everything of use on this server. If you want to see what the Bukkit Team has to say about 1.6, please Click Here.
As far as what this means for Eagleworld, it's basically the same as before. The server is (somewhat) stable on 1.5, and it's going to stay on 1.5 until I have the ability to roll out 1.6 in a stable manner without loss of data or loss of stability. As usual, I will be testing out all of the server changes in a test instance that will not affect the production instance. Once I feel confident we can roll out 1.6 without too many regressions or bugs, we'll go from there.
P.S. - For those of you that don't know what a "regression" is, it's basically a term used in software development for an unintended loss of functionality or a previously fixed bug popping up again when moving to a new version. For example, if something worked in craftbukkit build 733 (the build we're on now), but doesn't for a version tested for 1.6, that's a regression.

Hey im not able to connect on 1.5, im getting this error message: “HTTP Response code: 503 for URL: http://www.minecraft.net/game/joinserver.jsp?user=Jbkarate9&sea” This is where it cut off what do I do?

You should have no problems connecting. The HTTP Response code meant that you can’t connect to minecraft.net. Try connecting now and see if you can get to Eagleworld.

So looking how 1.6 is going so far i think we are just waiting for 1.7 i mean we’re already up to 1.6_5

Bother the Bukkit team, not me: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/when-will-bukkit-be-updated-for-minecraft-1-6.18714/
It’s the same as it was before. There is NO version of Bukkit for 1.6.5. The server works. I don’t want it not to work just because you can’t wait.

i’d certainly enjoy fallout mode again, you chasing me and space down and killing us was really entertaining, and it would give me a chance to see my treehouse burn down without having it be permanent. i know youre probably not going to do that again, i cant quite remember why you didnt like it last time but i just think this sounds fun. (was it people bitching? cause you can tell them to suck it, fallout mode means no whining lol)

I had a worse time with the server in “Anarchy Mode” than I did when the server was offline. I will never do that again. People on the server weren’t happy. People that weren’t playing weren’t happy. Random strangers weren’t happy. It was nothing but a living hell for me. If you people enjoyed it that much, you sure had a funny way of showing it by making my life a living hell for that week or so.
