As many of you know, I have not been as active as I have before. The reasons for it are, quite simply, due to my time becoming incredibly restricted. I want everyone to know that my goals for Whichcraft are to keep it up for regulars to continue enjoying the game and come and go as they please. It is not to make it grow into some absurdly large server as the new EULA has made it very difficult for server owners to make any money with their servers. Bigger servers get the more money they cost, so at the moment I am quite happy as to where it is now and do not wish to grow it any larger than 20 people.
Now that that has been said, I need to warn everyone that someone (or some people) has (have) decided to start attacking the Data Center of which Whichcraft is hosted on. To those unsure of what that means, basically the server may go down without warning or randomly. It could be down for some time or it could be down for ten seconds. I cannot afford to move the server anywhere else, so I ask everyone to bear with the unfortunate downtime. So far the server has only gone down 3 times in the past week and we are hoping that it will go away.

Why are people attacking the Data Server? It's just a Minecraft server.

Data Centers usually keep many kinds of servers. Nobody here can really speak to the motives of the attackers without some large degree of speculation, but these days hackers are more motivated by criminal profit and political reasons.
I've had pretty bad lag at times; lately, I've died several times due specifically to lag and lost some important stuff in Hard survival. One time in particular, I couldn't move, then logged back in and found I was just dead - never saw the death message. Today it seems to be much better, but server lag has very noticeable in the last few weeks.
