Tomorrow at
6 PM EST (Daylight savings for Euros) we will be opening the Minecraft FTB server. For anyone that doesn't know what FTB is, it is a massive compilation of mods that make for an extremely different experience than regular minecraft. Because of the extensive mods that make up an FTB server, there are a lot of bugs, glitches, and possible abuse. For the first week we will be in a beta of sorts while we work out bugs, figure out what items should be banned, and overall how to set up the server to best fit SG.
After approximately one week (assuming we feel its ready to go) we will restart the map from scratch, and all sub/donor perks will be put into place, as well an admin and player store. Until then, I'd like you all to take this time to get to know this game mod and possibly figure out how you will set up your base when the server is live. The FTB modpack we will be running on is
FTB infinity version
1.4.1. This modpack is relatively new, and those of you who have played different FTB modpacks in the past will still have a lot of new things to explore and discover.
First week subscriber/donor perks - For the first week we will give you access to a kit which contains Draconic armor and an all in one pick/sword/shovel, both with some amazing features. Normally this would be end game gear that you would not get for quite a while. With only a week to explore and work out bugs, we hope to give you head start with this gear. ****you may only receive this kit
ONCE during the existence of this beta server so treasure it, don't lose it, don't give it away.****
First week guest/member/admin perks - We will have a basic spawn fitted with free things we feel are necessary to quicken exploration, a free charging station for weapons and armor (
also effects subs/donors), and all the necessary portals to explore the other worlds available to us. There will also be a basic weapon/tools kit (quality to be determined) that can be used every ~hour by everyone.
There is a lot more information to come, but this is the basics for now. Further discussion of changes, events, mods in charge of MC, and other general crap will be hashed out later. Any questions can be directed at me either here, via PM, or on steam.

Thanks to all who supported us both monetarily and through general support of the MC project. I look forward to seeing you in the server!!!!!
