Effective immediately, /r/MCPublic will be using a lobby system!

What this means: You can now switch servers by using the "/server <server name>" command with the following options: creative, pve, survival and lobby.

The lobby server currently has portals that will take you to the appropriate server. When a server is restarting or simply down, the portal will be disabled by turning into purple wool, once it comes back up it will return to normal.

You are still able to directly login to each server using the correct host: IE c.nerd.nu, p.nerd.nu and s.nerd.nu. However you now have the option of connecting to just "nerd.nu" and it will bring you to the last server you were on when you connected to nerd.nu

Upon restarts, instead of disconnecting, everyone will be moved to the lobby server. Not only should this make restarts less jarring, in times when the Mojang auth servers are down or malfunctioning, you won't have to leave our servers and thus won't be affected!

Let us know of any problems and I hope you enjoy!

Additionally this design is temporary and we will be hosting a contest for a new design, more details will be coming!
