Maintenance
Hey guys,
Our maintenance is almost over! Sorry for the delay we had a bunch of issues and bad lucks along the way. It started up with a severe security issue regarding one of our former employee, then we had to wait on the Datacenter to change our hard drives and re-install everything. What we had to do was not simple, basically we redid our whole network, over 45 dedicated servers (around 800+ servers), in less than 24 hours.
UPDATE #3: ETA Changed, we ran into issues, can't give an ETA at the moment.
UPDATE #4: Working on one specific issue then we can move on to testing stuff.
UPDATE #5: Fixed the nasty bug! Can move on to easy things, might give a real ETA soon.
UPDATE#6: Making good progress, staff testing right now.
UPDATE #7: Now testing with VIPs while we fix stuff, then we go public in a few hours. IP: MC.HYPIXEL.NET
This eta might change. I'll keep you updated as fast as I can.
In the meantime, we need your help here; http://hypixel.net/threads/achievement-system-new-feature-in-the-works-need-your-ideas.17462/
Right now we are finalizing the last details of our network to make sure it's stable and making VampireZ public.
Sorry this is taking so long, this is not within our control. I could point fingers for this incident but I would rather not.
This maintenance had to be done one day or another, now that it's almost over we can't wait to get back in making new games and updating the current ones. We also have 2 new developers to speed things up!
If you have questions, feel free to ask them in the comments.
We do not have a specific ETA, but hopefully it will be back up and running today (EST).
Thanks,
Hypixel
