I just updated the server and brought it back online. I cannot properly setup the whitelist and everything until tonight (hopefully I'll have time after work) Please continue to keep the IP private. The good thing is we can now start recruiting to bring new people in!

I plan on removing unnecessary players from the whitelist sometime soon. This includes people who have never connected or have only connected once. If I accidentally de-whitelist you please email me and I will re-add you.

It looks like the beds, aside from making stylish bedrooms WILL allow us to skip night, we just all have to hop in bed at the same time :D Hope you all have fun today. Wish I could play but alas, workin' for the man every night and day.

Sometime soon (I know I've been saying this for a while) I will take the server offline and flatten an area so we can make a modern city.

Anyone have a clue as to what the "secret update" is? Also, please email me if the server crashes or if something odd happens.
