Today is the day! Updates.

Hello MCGamers!

If you had previously read this thread about what is going to happen today, I wanted to clarify on timings and things that have been changed/delayed.

Today all servers on the entirety of the MCGamer Network will be taken offline at 4:30PM US Central Standard Time (2:30 PM PST / 5:30 PM EST / 10:30 PM GMT (UK time) / 6:30 AM AWST/HKT / 9:30 AM AEDT) to begin the v2 update which is on schedule. This update could take up to 6 hours to complete (possibly longer if issues are encountered) with random network restarts after. However our leaderboard update is going to be delayed for a few days or up to week for the following reasons:

• We want to be sure there are no game breaking bugs where your stats don't get counted.
• Our system hasn't had a full-scale test in full production yet, so we would rather wait to be sure it works 100%.

What does this mean? MCGamer v2 is still coming out today, however the old stats will still be active for the time being. We will do the leaderboard update soon after and will post dates and times when this is happening. By request, it will also happen during a weekend or a holiday so everyone can have a fair chance trying to get to the top. Read more about this leaderboard update here: http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/global-leaderboards-update-coming-soon.146861/

We will also be delaying the new site launch because we are still waiting for the final artwork to be done! Should be within a few days from now.

Be sure to follow our twitter for real time status on our progress today: http://www.twitter.com/MCSGServers and http://www.twitter.com/chadthedj

Edit: Keep in mind that "delayed" does not mean we are not doing this update anymore. We are just moving it to another release date that will happen soon after everything is tested.

Maybe if you read the thread, you would know that delaying the leaderboard update is for the greater good...

Other than that, I look forward to the power grab....*cough* the exciting event.

We are still doing this, yet again we haven't tested our new stats server. We don't want an issue with people not getting their wins counted because the system hasn't been tested yet in a large scale. We want to get this right, so rather test it on old stats.
