Minecraft

I realize it has been awhile since I posted an update here, or been active on the server, but I'll have to ask your forgiveness. The past few months have been rather hectic, with earning my bachelors, buying my first home, moving, getting married, and going on our honeymoon.

At this time, the Minecraft server is the only TorvServ server that is currently operational, although there is an affiliated organization that I am working with that will soon be launching an Arma II Insurgency server.

I have been looking into other options, and I am currently mulling over a couple of things in my mind. I believe that Starforge, (http://starforge.com,) will be a good game to run a server for, and I am very excited watching for a multiplayer-capable release to be available.

The debate, however, is where to host that server. I can either attempt to reorganize some personal servers and try to fit it in on one of those, OR bump the Minecraft server off into retirement. I am wondering how many people are currently using the Minecraft server, or plan on starting/getting back into it.

I would of course preserve a backup of the map, so that it could be re-instated at a future date if needed. This is a big step...the Minecraft server was the flagship of Torvserv, and has been the only server to run continuously since even BEFORE I had a name for this community.

So that's the situation; I don't feel like people are using it very much, and if that is true, I would like to be able to utilize that hardware for other purposes. Any opinions or comments that you would like to be heard can be submitted with the comment form under this post, or via the "Contact Admin" link at the side of this page.

Cheers all!
