Some exciting things have been in the works behind the scenes, and it's finally time to share them with you all! Here are some updates you can expect at the end of the month or beginning of next:
Announcing that MCGamer will be taking over the next phase of the AntVenom community and host his mini games he created within our Minecraft network. All of his games that will be transferred to our network will include Rocket Rumble, Survival Bingo, Deadly Decent, Color Zone, Hungry Games, Party Time and Leaderboard Survival! Expect to see them shortly on our US network only to start then pushed out to our other networks within a months time.
To address some quick concerns with the current paid members that currently play on the AntVenom network, your lifetime ranks will be transferred over to Diamond Premium accounts here. This process will take up to a week to complete but please contact our support if you have any questions. All helpers who were moderating the servers can apply within our community to get a priority interview if your application is accepted. To our players, MCGamer will not be re-branding to AntVenom network and will continue as normal with adding the additional mini games.
AntVenom will be playing (non exclusively) on our network recording videos and livestreaming. If you see him in-game, make sure you say hello!
ChadTheDJ signed MCSG T-Shirt & thank you card mailed to you!
(Will try to get my cat Mufasa to sign, no promises just in case he fights me
)
A server dedicated to you! Pick the hostname of our server to use for the life of it's operation.
(Yes you get to pick the name server we use for our backend. Name obviously must be appropriate and we have final say over it. We will include a picture in the card to show you it in the data center running our network)
and finally an exclusive Rank in-game!
(Yes, an exclusive rank and color that is only limited on special occasions! Note, this was changed from VIP as we felt it was "buying VIP" and quickly changed it with a newer rank)
Purchase this upgrade soon on our MCGamer Shop! (Limited to 32 US orders total to start. Naming the servers are exclusive on the first set)
(Will turn into a link once it's up)
To make this work, we are only accepting orders for US players to start. You need to include your email and full mailing address to be able to deliver the items to you. Your rank will be given instantly upon order but mailed items can take up to 4 weeks to deliver (order the shirts, sign and repackage takes a bit of time). Failure to do so, we will refund your order and accept the next one in line. We will send you the tracking number once we ship it out. Later locations will open up in a later time after I figure out international shipping arrangements. Thank you tributes for the support with this major upgrade here!
We hired 3 weeks ago one of the top designers for XenForo to give a well needed update to our site and forums. Since we host more than just Survival Games, we will start moving over using the MCGamer.net domain name. All URLs on MinecraftSurvivalGames.com will forward to the new domain, so don't panic on not being able to locate the forums. We hope to have this completed in the beginning of August. Details soon.
Yes, there's more I haven't even started to mention yet talking about our new XimeV2 Engine. Expect things like friends lists to be active with the new hub systems!
Update: Changed the gift of the rank to a "special exclusive rank/color" instead of VIP. I don't want people to feel we are selling VIP as it was intended to be a thank you gift. We just changed it and creating a new rank.

MCGamer is upgrading the US network servers next week!
I am please to also announce along with the first story, MCGamer recently invested into brand new servers running our US network with the help of CubedHost. After focusing hard getting our EU location running smoothly after their upgrade with the new servers, we started turning our direction to US. This is a well needed upgrade after using the same hardware for over a year where overtime we outgrew those servers yet again.
Help MCGamer go fiber!
To handle our large demand of players & also take the punches from script kiddies with large DDoS attacks, we are in need to upgrade our larger networks to Fiber Optics. With this change, we can expect to deliver a better uninterrupted network as we can handle the attacks while supporting a fast connection to our player base in-game and web. With all of these great benefits, this upgrade isn't going to be cheap for us. How can you help us out? For the first time ever, MCGamer is giving to start 32 US players an opportunity to "sponsor a server" premium rank. Here's what it's going to include:
