Oh man, I remember like 3 years ago making a giant schlong on Mickey Mouse and getting banned for it. Good times.

It was fun. Thanks to everyone I played with for their awesome company, thanks to mbaxter and all the other contributors of time and money. My sincere apologies for any failure on my part to live up to promises/commitments - immaturity and life got in the way. I look forward to perhaps joining J2 again with a new game.

Over the years our Minecraft servers changed in gameplay and playercounts, and many of us have great memories and favorite experiences from the servers. So, I feel some degree of heartbreak announcing that we're shutting down our Minecraft servers.

There are several reasons for this decision, and a major one is money. Most months we simply haven't been pulling in the contributions to cover having a separate dedicated server for running Minecraft. We're consolidating down to the VPS which runs the website (which I pretty much just cover each month) and the dedicated server which runs our TF2 servers, CSS (let's have another CSS night soon!), L4D2 (join us on mumble!), and other stuff depending on the need. By dropping the other server, we should be able to support ourselves, which is fantastic.

Another big issue we've had lately is the variety of different game modes, mods, and play styles our community is interested in. It's just not feasible to come up with a single server, or couple servers, that covers everything our community is interested in at any one time. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm not up for suggestions, but at this point we need more than just a suggestion: we would need people able to contribute time and money to maintain a server.

For those upset at the end of our Minecraft servers, I remind you that we still have an active community playing plenty of games including various minecraft mods. Plenty of us play our various games while in voice chat on mumble, and may or may not have topics describing the fun we're up to on the forums. Come join us :)

Lastly, I'd like to thank Diego for putting in lots of effort into our final push to keep the Minecraft servers alive. So many people over the years have expressed interested in contributing to keeping the servers running, but so few have actually lived up to those statements. Diego went above and beyond and put together something impressive, and deserves praise for his work.

So, goodbye j2 minecraft servers, gone to the great blocky heaven in the sky. Griefed for all eternity.


How much did it cost to run the server?

We ran the servers on a dedicated server, allowing us to do all the crazy stuff. $125 per month.

You misunderstood. The unban forum is mbaxter's daycare. I brought this mess upon you all, I get it named after me.
