To everyone who is getting connection errors, try using this ip: minecraft.friendlyplayers.com using the downloaded version of minecraft, that's the only thing I can think of... it seems to be working fine for everyone else.

Is their any new features?

Automagically is the best kind.

Nice, I think it's some good ideas

I like the kits, Homes and the colours, makes the server look more cheerful and bright.

maybe you should update the server.??

The server will be updated when a 1.5 version of Bukkit becomes available. For now, you can revert to 1.4.7 to carry on playing on the sever.

Sorry to bump the thread, but I'd like to ask where I can find the staff list for the minecraft server.
