Why havent I seen this before? Looks amazing, you should make it listed
Thanks for taking your time!

Hello, and welcome to our very first official Vanilla newsletter!
So, why is this a thing now, you ask? Well, we feel that we haven't been particularly transparent when it comes to keeping you up to date with the latest developments on our servers. We want that to change. To that end, we're starting up this bi-monthly (as in, once every two months) newsletter as a way of connecting with the community, sharing our work and upcoming projects, as well as truly opening up to suggestions and feedback from you.
Let's jump right in!

Top Voter, with a holiday twist
A 30-day Top Voter rank with its fancy tag and cool perks is totally fine, don't get me wrong. You know what's even better though? An awesome custom prefix for you to keep.
That's right, December's Top Voter for Vanilla is getting a free name tag of their choice, courtesy of us. All you have to do is literally just keep voting, get to that first place and we'll do the rest! Trust me, looking cool in-game has never been easier (or cheaper).
Good luck to all of you!

Hi everyone! 
What started as a joke has ended as a reality. I jokingly mentioned the idea of making him a statue to tomy. Being concise, I have done it. I want to share it with the community as a tribute to the effort and importance that @xtomyserraxhas had and still has in Network as  a plugin developer and beyond. ^^

Good afternoon to all.
I have decided to buy the Unban in the server store, so you can end this appeal. Thank you all for your comments in this post.

Greetings.

Im no longer a staff member but its really easy to come years later with something a lot of people may have forgotten.
If he is unbanned, it should be done only after the person who punished him explains the situation if he/she remembers it.
If it was so unfair, why not making millions of unban requests at that time? If someone made the decision it almost certainly has a reason, we cant doubt what old staff members did because someone just says that years later.
Lets wait for ZengZ to come back in five years saying that my permaban to him was unfair. If noone remembers or wants to remember, yes it was unfair, if someone remembers, well then we will all know that he destroyed the entire AC spawn and made many staff members to spend their time fixing it.
Or lets wait for CapitanParaguas to come 5 years later saying that my permaban was unfair and that he spent his time and regrets it. He had a permaban because of all the damage he caused to Network and his many other offenses. But yeah, he could come back saying he is sorry and that we should forgive him. If someone made the decision of being permanent is for a reason. If we wont respect this reason, then all this system has no sense at all. He had his time to ask for an unban.
 
EDIT: of course you can pay to get unbanned as many people did.

My motivation for this is to be able to help with the construction of new structures in AC together with the other builders, and I already understand some strict rules as a builder that I must comply with.
A sample construction
https://youtu.be/zu_hZ25OmOY

Hello, I want to request a sign in the spawn that tp you to the entrance of colloseum and in the colloseum add  tp to inside the arena, that will reduce the spawn camping becouse the people will prefer to pvp in the colloseum, and it will help alot if we want to make a tournament of pvp.
TY for reading
 

Please take into account that we can still get some stuff from suggestion number one without a wipe. The most important impact of a wipe is in economy which we all know it has been destroyed. So what do you guys think? Does AC need a wipe? Would you be happy of it?
Thanks!

Hi, after 7 days I already finished my construction. I want to be builder as i said one post before, like Slendy and Scyth, If u belive on me, i will answer well bringing buildings for AssasinsCraft. No more to say, hope @Brunyman or a manager like @EPICfighters see this and give me an opportunity. Thx u very much for this all good moments in this server.

Bro we've been in the same spot for 3 years, thats why most staff like me leaves LoL
Fer is the only that still has hopes

Hi, today i make this post on behalf of all network players!!
@xtomyserrax,The network needs you or rather we all need, have an incredible ability to fix bugs, among other things i know that you are tired of fighting for the network but donnot give up, you always fought you and nerver gave up, today we want to ask you to come back. I know that you are not going to ignore the community, you are the hope that remains and i am sure you do not want to see how the network falls, i know you can recover the staff of network, you know how, give them hope, teach them that you can make a change
Tomy come back please ❤️
@brunyman, We fully understand the excess of work that you have but that is not a reason for you to leave us we do everything in our power the staff leaves for this reason they feel ignored, hope is lost and whem that happens frustration comes we try to call the attention in an annoying way, in the case of the network, the only thing we ask is that you update the servers to the latest version, the other servers are outdated, such as AC,Hiipo plot survival, Skyblock and Creative ETC, there are players who play these servers and we always have to be drawing attention in some way to update the servers (when you go to update any server to the latest version, update all servers at least the most played) please, i hope your answer and that you understand how the staff feels 😔
Please they share this post and i hope they support this post!! 🙂
Sorry for my english 🙂
Have a nice day!! 

Greetings,

          For the past week i have seen how people that use creative and those that doesn't have had a crash between them.  For players that don't use creative, we feel like creative is a game breaking addition and disturb the "race" to reach high tiers among ourselves. For example, If it took me 1 week to reach LV, a creative person will be ZPM in less than 1 hour. While them being in high tier does not affect the way we play, it does affect the server stability. 
Example:
1- A creative person can spawn in any number of item without limitation, allowing that person to set up an entire solar power system in a matter of minutes. Or many, Many automated process to produce items. Those process take a toll on the server tps and because the creative person in question didn't have to gather the mats, he/she will have no problem spawning as many as he/she want. 
2- Creative people can spawn the materials to craft a machine, while the materials are tagged as spawned, the machine they build with those spawned items are not tagged as spawned. Meaning that the person in question can craft machines to give to a non-creative player.
3- Creative people can also spawn the most efficient way of mining ores and/or oil and once again, while the machine, if spawned, is tagged as spawned, the ores/oil it gathers is not tagged as spawned. Meaning that the creative person in question can pass the ores/oil to another person that is not creative. 
4- Creative people can also instantly spawn rockets of any tier and fly to any planet, even when most people are still in steam age. Then they can just fly to highly demand planets and "empty" them out of resources before people can even reach them. 
5- Creative people can also lagg the server with in many ways, from massive amount of spawned item, to constantly flying to laggy planets like ross. 
 
 
In other words, creative ranks hurt the server more than what it helps it. So my suggestions are the next:
1- Remove creative entirely = While i know creative might generate a good revenue for the server, it shouldn't exist in such a hardcore modpack like GTNH.
2- Only allow structural block on creative = This will still give the creative to those that want it, but will limit them to only structural items to build a base. Like chiseled blocks, but remove access to any ore/ingot/fuel/machinery or any material that is not used to build the structural part of a base. 
3- Creative server only = while this is more cost to owners pocket, it will create 2 separated server, 1 for creative people and one for non creative people. In that way you dont have to be monitoring who gives what to whom. It will also remove the stress cause by creative people on server with non-creative players. 
4- Move creative rank to S+ but with structural purpose only = Creative is the strongest tool in the game, it should be the most expensive perk to buy too, but it should be limited. 
 
Only those that have played GTNH will understand the issue with creative, so my last recommendation is for the owner to try the modpack and then decide for himself after he experience the modpack and the pros and cons of creative. You cannot sell a product if you don't understand it, sometimes you might lose more money when your only focus is money and not customer service. 

I meant no disrespect to anyone, everyone is welcome to add their opinion in a respectful way, either to agree with me or disagree. Everyone deserves to be read. 

(On a side note, P+ has a perk of retain exp when you die, but that perk is not working at all, please take a look at it, thanks)

Hey, a couple of months ago I presented an idea to change the way get money in PureSurvival
¿What was that idea?
-Add NPC's with different roles, where players can sell different kinds of things depending on the role of the NPC, for example the butcher, where players can sell different kinds of meat the blacksmith, where they can sell their ores etc..
I made the zone where these buyers could live
https://imgur.com/a/26nLLuT
The place where it would be great to place this zone is the following
https://imgur.com/a/N6LgjtY
This zone would include 6 stores with the following roles: the blacksmith, the butcher, the florist, the fisherman, the farmer and the lumberjack 
I want to clarify something this zone will not replace the market of the spawn, will see a little difference, in the spawn market you can buy things but not sell them in this zone, you can sell things instantly!! 
Maybe some are wondering this question, ¿What about players who have GM1 with tag,could they get infinite money ?
-Well let me tell you that NPC's are not going to accept things from GM1
https://imgur.com/a/NQ6Mg6r
The players of PureSurvival months ago were requesting this let is wait for @brunyman to give us your answer 🤗
Your suggestions and opinions are welcome support this post thank much!!
Have a nice day!!

What is your friend's username? Do you want to use it on Network?

As some of you already know, this morning one dedicated server had issues. Minecraft servers affected are FTB StoneBlock2, FTB SkyAdventures, Network AssassinS and Creative servers. We got this server less then 1 year ago when intel gen 9 processors were finally available, we actually got 5 such dedicated servers at the beginning of this year and unfortunately we had issues with 3 of them during this time, we changed sata cables and hard drives as 2 servers were time to time having HDD failures and degraded raid arrays, to replace burned power supply and even the entire server except for the hard drives. So a lot of lost hours and headache.
As we think of upgrading our servers usually at the end-beginning or a new year to plan our expenses for the new year it is obviously that these intel gen9 servers have a lot of issues, mainly I think the issues were caused by the motherboards chipset/controllers at least for the raid issues, so the plan is to upgrade to new servers this time running ryzen, gen3 is available for now in datacenters, we already tested one for the last 4 months and even if the single thread performance is a bit lower, multithreaded is way better then intel and we also had 0 issues so far, where on intel just 1-2 months after we got them crashes started to randomly happen. Another big performance improvement par of the upgrade plan is to move on from HDD to fast NVME SSD's, we will have a bit less room for backups but the plan is to build a NAS server and download all backup directly from the servers and keep them all offsite in case if an entire server is lost and cannot recover data we have backups on our NAS to restore from with max few hours lost of data, we will also use these backups for rollbacks.
Almost 2 months ago I requested cancelation of 2 dedicated servers, both had repetitive issues with raid arrays where the second drives fails and the raid enters a degraded state, we then reboot into rescue mode, fix partition errors and rebuild the array and then few days or 1 month later it fails again and so on. The drives SMART data show no issues. So we first requested to cancel these 2 contracts where issues are active and based on contract terms the cancelation is after 4 weeks. This week I ordered our first new dedicated server on new specs with Centos 8 and NVME SSD's, got it setup and this morning after we got GT server finally released I planned to move everything from the SA/SB host to the new machine as the contract ends tonight. But when I woke up SA and SB servers were down and crashing on startup with weird read permissions errors, then I checked AssassinS was also in the same crash state and even system commands were not working so I did a system reboot thinking that maybe the OS got bugged. After the reboot everything was working fine so I started to transfer data to the new server. While the files were coping to the new server I noticed that some configs I had setup before I went to bed were back to the original state and then I noticed that the files dates were 1 month ago, I checked backups and all backups from this month were missing. The Raid array was already into a degraded state with the second drive out of sync, and this failure happened 1 month ago so it was clear that somehow the system was loading the drive that was out of sync and not in the raid array anymore. This is so weird, I spent 8 hours to try to get access on the good data partition to copy my up to date backups but it just failed to recognize the parition on the first drive, like something badly corrupted at the base of the file system.
root@grml /home # cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1] [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md126 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sda2[0]
524224 blocks super 1.0 [2/1] [U_]
bitmap: 1/1 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk
md127 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdb4[1]
1944467456 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [_U]
bitmap: 15/15 pages [60KB], 65536KB chunk
I also contacted the datacenter technicians and when they saw the above data, they were like we never saw anything like this we will get a senior technician here to see if they had experienced something like this before to try to fix it. But after I spent 8 h tring to get that drive data out I sure that we can't get anything restored. So all that is left was to use my last resort monthly backps to restore something and that was downloaded on 8 November. So we lost 19 days of data
In order to prevent this in the future we will build our own NAS server so all backups from all machines are saved directly there this way if something like this is ever to happen again we will have max few hours of lost data. We will also continue to replace all existing servers in the next months and upgrade to fast NVME SSD's. 
Now all the servers except for Nework Creative are back online and running on the new server. The creative server was updated recently to 1.16.4 and this incident lost all that work so we will have to again update it to 1.16.4. The AssassinS server was pending a WIPE as it also needs to be updated to 1.16.4 and we will do so next week.
I'm very sorry for this loss, for SkyAadventure and StoneBlock 2 servers we will do our best to refund affected players with items, in-game money and rank re-activations to cover the loss.
We created a free compensation package for SkyAdventure and StonBlock2 servers on DailyRewards category on our store, you can only claim this reward once and it will give you in-game money and crate keys, check the links below

There is one suggestion that I would like to do.
It consists of making the tutorial easier and at the same time more accessible, for example that you appear there the first time you enter, although it is true that the current one explains clearly and in detail the game, I consider it to be some extensive, I have preceded cases that people spend hours or get bored because they cannot pass the tutorial, which by its name should be easy and explaining the modality.
Thanks ?

Idea 1 added, now Pure has a sleep plugin!

Please take into account that we can still get some stuff from suggestion number one without a wipe. The most important impact of a wipe is in economy which we all know it has been destroyed. So what do you guys think? Does AC need a wipe? Would you be happy of it?
Thanks!
