How the years have gone by

Koolio:
I think you guys are all coming back at the right time!.. nice to see you again Salil and Thomas! Hopefully some more old members will also log in again :)

So I've put in an order for a dedicated server (it will be in Germany with Hetzner, they don't seem to be doing anything until Monday, will see how it goes for the first month, price and performance was good, if it doesn't work ping wise with everyone will find another one in maybe France or USA NY side)

I have a holiday break from work coming up after next week where I'll have some free time to set up a new minecraft server! ok its the same one.. but a refresh new maps, new plugins (if anyone wants to start finding some plugins they think will be good for the server post them here, I think I'll continue to use https://www.spigotmc.org/  for the server, but noticed a lot of the plugins have changed)... not even sure we will stick with Towny, not sure if its still updated or something better has replaced it... things to research I guess...open to suggestions on a new direction with core server plugins.

Will probably try to keep the good plugins and the old worlds for visiting but not building in..

Anyway this wasn't some spontaneous decision to start the server again, an old member of kz has been in contact behind the scenes and wanted to front some donation money towards the server hosting and getting an updated Kraftzone server alive again. And I've noticed the new interest people have been having in minecraft again, so I figured it's a worth a try,  hopefully will get things running smoothly, I don't see myself being as an active admin as I used to be on the server which could be good it will mean more old and new members will be able to take more responsibility over the server.

I still have a new website for Kraftzone started but for the start this site/forum will remain. Also given the state of minecraft servers I will also try some advertising for when the server is setup, have to try make the server known to new players.

If anything I just look forward to making a start on Titan castle v3, with a new player spawn world ofc :)

Soon as the new server is setup (might even have it setup at some basic level before next week, I'll make a news announcement for the pre-launch building of areas, and sorting out staff/support ranks again.

Pepsi87:
Well I am excited/very willing. Just shoot me a message on steam whenever you're ready to start building or need some help.

Thomas119966:
Sounds great, very much looking forward to checking stuff out, will keep myself updated here and hopefully jump on as soon as its available. If any help from my side is needed feel free to say so, im mostly available in the mornings Central European Time.

Hope to see a lot of the old guys around again, and very much looking forward to making duck town 2.0

EDIT: Maybe it would be easier to set up a discord server? atleast a tempoary one so all of the old guys from the forum here have an better place to find news and the status of the new server... Id happily set it up if Koolio is unfamiliar with it

Koolio:
Oh KZ has a discord server, just never promoted it much after closing the server as it's pretty much not been active for a while.. still its mostly setup, public invite link https://discord.gg/WrdpnWr

Will promote and probably be adding some discord site integration later with it so its the main one new players can join.

Koolio:
So I have the new server, it's being setup right now..

As I'm looking at updating the server to the latest... I have been noticing lot of old plugins I was using on 1.11 aren't updated, so I'm thinking of leaving the current 'nostalgia' server up... but the new server will be completely fresh on everything and it won't contain any of the old maps, pretty much everything will be done from scratch, old ranks and permissions for plugins will be etc ..not even sure the new server will be using towny.... so that might be a big change, not sure I will use factions though... maybe just go without such plugins and have some other sort of area or block protection instead
