Re: 30 Minute downtime today from 8:58am to 9:28am

All three game servers were unavailable today for a period of 30 minutes from 8:58am to 9:28am due to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which the Minecraft servers need to run crashing. This was a serious crash that also affected our automatic restarting system (as that also uses the JVM). This is a very rare type of crash.

I started everything back up just moments ago after noticing all the servers were offline. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Blocks you placed or destroyed may have reverted to a state up-to 30 Minutes before the crash. Your inventory and player position may have been reverted much further than that depending on how long you were playing before the crash occurred without logging off.

Inventories and Player Positions are only saved when you log off from the server (This is out of our control, it is Mojangs implementation).
Blocks you place and destroy are saved every 30 Minutes by the server automatically as protection against crashing.
Any blocks you did place or destroy are still saved in our Core Protect & LogBlock databases so we can re-do your work if you request it.
