Now supporting 1.6.2, 1.6.4 and 1.7.2!
Hi!
We are pleased to announce that the server is now supporting 1.6.2, 1.6.4 and 1.7.2!
I would like to thank to our good friend Monsieur Apple, he has helped us tremendously and you guys should definitely go thank him on twitter, because of him we have more time to work on new stuff!
With that being said, we soon will be pushing a BETA of a new game within the next 3 days. Along with that, we are releasing a new Main Lobby and many maps for other games in the next few days, so stay tuned!
Halloween Coins Sale! 50% - This is the best way to support the server and stay away from monthly fees, thanks.

Another good news would be about new potential upcoming developers! We were a bit overworked from the past few weeks so this will help a lot to finally put out projects that we've put aside for months and finally deliver quality games. There will be a big lobby coming up with a LOT of fun games!
For Minecon a lot of our staff and developers will be attending and even participating to panels, so make sure you tune in to the stream or go see them live! I'll be giving more info on about that later on this week! Unfortunately I will personally not be attending.
(We did some visual changes to the achievement menu to prevent crashes using 1.7, that's why we removed redstone torches and lamps)

Do not update to 1.7.2 yet!
Hey guys,
While we are waiting on updates for some plugins, you will have to keep using 1.6.4 to join the server.
Here's a guide to help you understand how to use older versions; http://hypixel.net/threads/guide-changing-minecraft-versions.25997
If you have any questions, please use the thread I linked.

Double Coins Weekend coming up!
Here we go guys, another Double Coins Weekend coming up!
Because last time we had a DCW the Mojang login servers acted up, we decided to push it back to this upcoming weekend.
Starting Friday the 11 at 11:59pm US Eastern Time and ending on 11:59pm US Eastern Time on Sunday the 13.
That means regular users will get 2x, VIP 4x and VIP+ 5x the coins in all minigames.
Tell all your friends and see you this weekend!
We will also add a bunch of maps to bring new content and maybe a big special surprise if we can prepare it in time
--------------------------------------
Why are we using base mutiplier ?
Example 100 coins is the base earned per win.
base * (DCW) = 200 coins
100 * (2) = 200 coins
base * (DCW + VIP) = 400 coins
100 * (2 + 2) = 400 coins
base * (DCW + VIP+) = 500 coins
100 * (2 + 3) = 500 coins
base * (DCW + VIP+ + FutureFeature) = 700 coins
100 * (2 + 3 + 2) = 700 coins
base * (DCW + VIP+ + FutureFeature + AchievementProc) = 900 coins
100 * (2 + 3 + 2 + 2) = 900 coins
FutureFeature is something we are working on, along with the AchievementProc, so as you can see, sometimes instead of getting 100 coins you could actually get 900 coins, this is quite insane.
Now if we didn't use additional multiplier, that number would be 2400 coins, giving us a nightmare to balance every shops in the game or making it impossible for regular players.
