Intoxicated Closed & Griefed: Again!

Sorry to everyone, but I'm here to report another.. Intoxicated griefing. I'll explain what happened first, and go into context after. I'll keep updating this post as more information comes my way, but if anyone is wondering what has happened, feel free to refer them here.

Ragestrr, xLukeeex, and many other users got on late last night, banned most of the users that were online, (possibly whitelisting too) and completely griefed spawn. Below you can see what spawn basically looks like as of right now.

The other users who were involved are not known (to me at least). Intoxicated is said to have MySQL, Plugin, and World backups, but no one knows how long ago. To add more icing on the cake for this event, _Xiae has said that he is "done" and is quitting as this event could of been prevented, but one of the Administrators trusted a user with the Console, MySQL, and FTP passwords. You can see his post, here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1810174-intoxicated-drug-server-162-nether-potions-pvpgriefing/page__st__2300#entry23976244

No other post has been made except for many users complaining and asking why is the server down.

---

As for the context of when Ragestrr/jimxjimx got access. If you all remember, Intoxicated was down for about 5 days due to MySQL errors. None of the Administrators except for _Xiae knew how to do the task, and _Xiae was out on vacation. The Administrators supposedly trusted Ragestrr, so they gave him access. Funny thing is -- he never fixed it.

They gave Ragestrr the Console, FTP, and MySQL passwords and that was it. The next day _Xiae got on, and fixed it.

If you all remember, Ragestrr/jimxjimx was the same person who griefed Intoxicated last time. jimxjimx is an old administrator, so he had access to Console/FTP from way back when he was. He came back, logged in, and fucked with spawn and _Xiae had to fix it, which is why _Xiae says, "Admins trusted Ragestrr again for some reason".

Intoxsheet is under construction once again!

Hello!

So, I think the server has aged enough for me to start adding items in. I'm going to constantly update the sheet with new items, and their prices. These will be the UP TO DATE prices, but I'm going to have to constantly update them as the economy ages more because right now -- there's no real "set price". There's a wide variety of prices, and the economy is no where near stable as of yet.

Keep on the lookout, and keep coming back to check on the progress. Everyday I'll be adding new items and hopefully get back to the place I was a month ago with about 70~ items.

If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions please PM me on Intoxicated.

Thanks,
Spheres

edit:

Also, the "Starter Guide" is about finished. Click on the navbar button above to check it out!

WIP: Beginner's Guide

So, after me helping a few guys out on Intoxicated, I thought it'd be good to make a Beginner/Starter guide for those who need help starting out. It seems some people that come to the server don't even know what to do, or where to go, so I'm gonna work on a starter/beginner guide for people that'll basically take new players through their first 15-30mins of the game.

I estimate this'll be complete by 8/16/13, so keep a look out for it. I'll add it to the navbar -- the link will show up next to the "Staff / Law Enforcement", which is also a WIP due to the new staff, and constantly being accepted Law Enforcement.

Intoxicated: Back Up!

For the past ~5 days, Intoxicated has been offline. On the 1st day of it being down, it was up/down due to the fact that the Administrators had no idea of the problem, but when players were logging in, they lost their money, and their McMMO levels. The server was quickly shut down, and just in time for _Xiae to be on vacation.

The reason for the downtime was that some error had occured with MySQL (a database). MySQL managed iConomy, McMMO, and any other plugin that basically stored important player data. Not enough RAM was allocated towards MySQL causing it to "flood". None of the other administrators could fix it, so they were forced to wait for _Xiae to get back from his vacation.

It was quickly fixed today in the morning, and everything is running smoothly.

McMMO, Money, and anything related to MySQL will be down (and the server!)

Early in the morning today, something happened with the disk space of the server and MySQL which caused McMMO, Money, and anything that connects and uses MySQL to not work. Everyone's McMMO, and money is reset, but will be added later on tonight at approximately 1AM EST (according to Ball__So__Hard).

_Xiae will reupload the plugins and the files and configure it back to it's last save point (early the smorning) of everyone's money and McMMO levels. It's recommended that you don't do anything with money as it will most likely get reset when they upload the previous files. It's recommended that you harvest your farm, and save your drugs for later when MySQL is fixed.

edit:

The server will also been down until about 1AM or 2AM EST due to the MySQL problems. To see what's all the hype, go to: http://www.bit.ly/intox-forum

Intoxicated: Reset and Much More!

Hello everyone! Long time!

A lot has gone on in the past few weeks, and I haven't been able to cover it, but I'll slowly sum it up now. If you wish to learn more about it, please refer to these forum posts below:

• This post explains the server reset.
• http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1810174-intoxicated-drug-server-162-nether-potions-pvpgriefing/page__st__1760#entry23691039

I'll explain a bit more in depth. The administrators decided to reset the whole server; money, McMMO, everything. The administrators quickly worked on a testing server where they would change the server, and make it better. The reason for the reset is not exactly clear, but you should be able to figure out the reason on your own.

The reset didn't mess everything up, infact, the server is back up, and running like it used to 3-4 months ago. Almost 100 players on everyday, and great community once again. Many more ranks were added, and the difficulty of the server was increased to make players have a challenge and not get to the highest rank in one day. Here is the new rank list:

Fugitive - Default Rank

Druggie - $10,000

Grower - $18,000

Dealer - $31,000

Enforcer - $54,000

Supplier - $94,000

Trafficker - $164,000

Lieutenant - $287,000

Baron - $503,000

Patrone - $880,000

They changed the prices A LOT. Not only are the rank prices different, but also the drug prices. As I said before, the administrators made it so that players would have a challenge to rank up, and so they did.

Not only are ranks changed, but some staff changed as well. As you can assume, some staff was demoted and taken off, and some was promoted. Some of them you may know from the intox before the reset, and some were promoted from a lower rank. Here is the new staff:

_Xiae - Owner/Sr Admin
Ball__So__Hard - Owner/Sr Admin
IBunkerZz - Sr Admin
Axios18 - S Admin
Armoral111 - Admin
Skillcheese - Admin
ShawnHalogen - Admin

Well, come see all the changes for yourself, hop on the server:
