Regarding Euro Classes and the MB2 Server (and me)...

Hey guys,

A few chages are going to be made regarding servers and such in the next few days or so - I know, I know, more server nonsense... sorry. :(

Currently, Kaelis and I (well, mainly Kaelis as it's his box, I just do all the dirty work :P) run our Euro Servers, our MovieBattles II Server and two Aurochs Servers for the JA (and JAA). Those of you who know Kaelis and I will also know that we're both particularly fond of MovieBattles; in fact, it's all I play these days (JA/JK3-wise) as I've simply lost all interest in base and the fact that we can't mod it without something in the gameplay going wrong and/or just not working as it should, doesn't help at all. Kudos to people such as cHoSeN-oNe and Orion for trying, and indeed doing everything they could to correct this problem.

Basically, Kaelis and I have started building a new community that functions somewhat like the JA, but is catered specifically to MovieBattles II for JKA. Since it's all we play these days, it seemed like the most logical path to take. So for the past few months, we've been building the website and preparing our server box for a couple of MB Servers etc.
We're almost ready to launch the thing, but seeing as MBII Servers are far more resource-consuming than base (or JAE) servers, we've had to make some space so that the box can handle the load.

So here's the deal:
Euro Classes will be taken offline, as will JAA Rodeo, our MB2 Server will remain the same, except the name will change to fit the community we've built - it'll still be a public server, so you can still play on it whenever you like.
Now, I've been speaking to the admins of Multiplay.co.uk, who have said in the past that they will provide us with a replacement for the Wireplay Server and if we can get that going, then Euro Classes will be hosted there instead, I'm just not sure right now how long that will take, but I am doing my best. :)
Once the current contract for our Server box has ended (in a few months), Kaelis will be renewing it with far greater specs, so that should hopefully see JAA Rodeo's return as well.

I'm truly sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause in the meantime.

But before you all start cracking open the bottles of Champagne and waving your arms around in celebration, let me just say that I'm not going anywhere! :P
I'm going to remain an admin here at the JA whilst also managing the MB community as well, you probably won't be seeing me on any base/JAE JA servers.. but then again, that's nothing out of the ordinary now is it? :P
I'm still mapping, still trying to do my best by people here and the JA is still my home (on t3h interwebz, of course).

So yeah, that's what's doing down shortly.
And if anyone here also happens to really like MovieBattles, then feel free to pop on over to http://www.mbuniverse.co.uk and check the MB community out. Or just come and hang out with us in #mbuniverse on irc.quakenet.org (Damn... shameless plug or what? I hope I don't get bant :()

Anyways, VIVA LA ACADEMIA!

I'll be around. :)
