I have started work on a subways system, this will some day run through the whole city! I have started it at the power plant. We could also use the subway to run cables through the city... when I first came on the server I was caught outside my house in the dark and I ran into the subway to hide from some mobsters who were chasing me. As I was running in terror I did pause to admire the workmanship of the tunnel and made a note that it was a greatt engineering achievement. I then proceeded to run for my life as the mobs had caught up with me. Here is the video I was talking about, its a blast form the past! (2 years ago nearly) Back when me, Xargen, Greenfire32 and Hannata played together. The video show a little subway I built, it had a really cool under water part made of glass! but you dont get to see it for long in the video

Silence. Forevermore.

Ok guys...I got three big announcements/updates for you.
1) My personal computer is needing to be reformatted. A complete wipe of the harddrive (OS included) and a complete re-install. Due to the...terrifying...nature of this operation, I may be unavailable for some time. The server will remain unaffected and online, but I may be absent for quite awhile depending on how badly my machine is affected.
Also, I need to know who is still playing on Daegon and what your average play time is (how long). I've been noticing a real big slow down in traffic and am starting to wonder if it's worth the $20 a month I pay.
2) My girlfriend and I have finally gotten an apartment together that is (sort of) affordable. So again, while the move and hook-ups happen, I may be gone for a substantial amount of time.
It is for these two reasons that I have decided there needs to be an official Daegon Moderator (or two). The two people I'm thinking of are Snazul and Xargen as they are easily the most active on the server. My decision isn't final yet, however, so I'm still open to debate on that. My main criteria on who does and does not get to be a Mod relies mostly on how active the player is.
3)Now that we're going to be paying a monthly rent, I'm beginning to wonder if the server in it's current state is worth maintaining (slow traffic, only 1 or 2 ppl on at a time, etc). It's going to get really tight monetarily without donations so if you want to help out, I urge you to. $20 a month doesn't seem like a much, but once I factor in monthly rent, it's going to get tight.
I'm not going to make donating a requirement to play. Whether or not you want to is entirely up to you. But I would really appreciate any help you can offer. Doesn't matter if it's $1 or $10, the amount isn't fixed.

I am honoured that you are thinking of me for modship, and if I had the money, I'd donate... As it stands, I'm flat broke myself, buuuut if my fortunes change and I get a new job, I'll be donating often =p

Update Time!
First off, I've looked into the massive amounts of lag being reported and I have a fairly good idea as to what is causing that. As you all know, I do not personally host the server, I pay for a hosting service to do that. Part of the "package" that I ordered is a limit on how much of the harddrive I'm allowed to use (I have to share with other people's servers). That limit is 1gb or 1024mbs. As of me typing this, we are using 973mbs. It is possible that even though we're under our limit (albeit very close), it may be too much for the server's allotted RAM (again, I have to share with other people) to handle.
A new world may be in order...
Secondly, there are also a large number of players who have been inactive for over a month. This shouldn't really affect the server's performance, but there's so many that if they were all to get online at once, the server would certainly crash. As such, ANYONE who hasn't logged in withing the past month is getting removed from the whitelist.
To prevent people from logging in for just a few seconds to avoid being purged, this is happening immediately after I post this.
And Finally, cheesey and I moved into our own apartment which is taking a large chunk of our combined income. Plus we recently purchased high speed internet because I couldn't check email without it dropping. It has become financially unacceptable for me to continue hosting the server on my own. It is my hope that one day we'll be able to afford a house and while $20 doesn't seem like much, that's $240 a year plus rent and life expenses.
We can approach this a couple of ways:
1) after the player purge we can evenly distribute the cost and make pay-to-play mandatory
2) a select few can volunteer themselves to help chip in for the good of the community (you would become mods on the server if we went this route)
3) someone else is going to have to host a server
4) the server closes and we part our ways.
As it stands, the server is paid up through August 11 so we have some time to work out a plan of action.
So there you have it. I can't afford the server on my own anymore and a new world is more-than-likely in the works.

Also what is to stop us having to restart the map in 3-4 months? I can look into some plugins that limit how far out players can travel. I just have no experience with that stuff and I'm not sure how well said plugins would work with FTB since by it's core nature FTB is a series of mods. But, I can 100% guarantee we would not be experiencing world-overload this quickly if select few members didn't travel upwards of 10,000 blocks away from spawn. Not blaming anyone, just saying that if we were a little more conservative in our real estate, we would probably only be around 200 or 300mbs at the time of this post.

Honestly, I would love to be able to help out, or even take the whole hosting thing on myself, but I can't exactly afford it myself right now either...
