Survival Server is down, read here why!

Tue May 14, 2013 1:08 am

The server as of 1AM GMT is down. The switch over to our new Japanese style spawn dubbed "Mount Aino" after the real life Japanese mountain of the same name is currently happening. As soon as the new spawn is in and the server is accessible you will be made aware.

It's Mount Aino, not Aion. Mount Aion's search results have online game screenshots.

Just a typo, corrected :)

EDIT:// The server is back up, the whitelist is removed. Everything is finished enough for people to enter.

Still to do: Update the spawn book, some server messages, fix no flying at spawn (Plugin for this is broken, dev knows about it and is working towards a fix)

Just an update, I have now fixed the issue where by flying was possible in spawn. The developer got back to me and said in not so many words that the way I wanted his plugin to work was not the way he intended it to work. He called the plugin NoFly and yet he claims the plugin is designed to ENABLE flying automatically in a region and not DISABLE flying in a region.

So I abandoned that course of thinking relying on him and instead wrote my own custom flag using the WGCustomFlag API to do the job. As you fly in to the spawn area you will now automatically drop to the floor. Same thing happens as you exit the contest area. Whilst inside the contest area (which is at spawn) you can use /fly

There is two issues I still need to correct but I can do that later. Those are stopping people from going splat after they enter the spawn whilst mid-flight and something else that I don't want to mention right now but I will disclose once I fix it.

I have now fixed the splat problem and two bugs. One which allowed players to fly if they logged in while falling and another bug which allowed players to purchase flying from the webstore which would set them to fly in the spawn regardless.

So I think the no-fly protections in the spawn are now bullproof but if you find any more issues please let me know about them and in the interest of disclosure do it privately so other users do not exploit the bugs until they can be fixed. Thanks.
