Intoxicated "Griefed"!

What happened?


As many of you know if you've played Intoxicated, jimxjimx was an old Sr Admin. He helped start the server. 3 weeks ago, he resigned from his position and hasn't shown up until yesterday. He showed up on the server with his accounts "ranbuscus" (excuse me if I don't spell it correctly) and "Ragestrr". Everything was normal until ranbuscus threatened to demote a member, Junkfoodink after he had jailed him permanently. Ranbuscus also was promoted to Patrone almost instantly as if an admin had given him it, along with the fact that it was reported he had 1000+ Axes (McMMO skill) at one point whilst fighting at the border.

Today, 7/16/13, Ragestrr showed up again. This time, spawn was griefed with multiple interior and exterior explosions / griefs, mobs were spawned everywhere including the Ender Dragon, and when you died no one was losing items. The server continued to gain more and more havoc and chaos, the lag was severe, and then the server was finally shut down by _Xiae and is quickly working to resolve the problem.

During the mob spawning, the server began to get very laggy and feel like it was being DDoSed. Here is a picture taken by ShawnHalogen showing what he was doing at one point:


Here is _Xiae's reply to what happened in the past hour:



What's being done now?

_Xiae is currently working on fixing the server. He says that there's a possible back door / security compromise within the system, and is quickly working to check and resolve it. Once done, he plans to rollback the server. Mind you, the rollback is most likely going to be a 24-48 hour rollback.

The server should be back up within 1-3 hours. _Xiae is working hard to make sure the server is not compromised, and so that we can all play without fear of being hacked, or shut down.

Please note, there WILL be a rollback. Anything you've done within the past 2 days will most likely be rolled back. It's either that, or he has to repair everything that's happened within the server as of now including the grief, and possible items that were given out, etc.

Intoxicated McMMO Nerf

2 McMMO skills were nerfed today on Intoxicated as a mass complaint of the skills being overpowered.

With the new update of 1.6.x, P4 was nerfed and many potions were changed. In order to scale with the change, Swords were nerfed down to the cap of 400. Axes were nerfed down to the cap of 300. The reason for this nerf was to scale with the update of 1.6 and it's changes to armor (P4 specifically) and many of the pots such as the STR2 pot which now gives you 260%+ Strength.

Here is a video that was recorded by Pistolton showing how OP swords were when xLukeeex was at 800 swords (the previous cap).

Intoxicated Updated to 1.6.2

Intoxicated was updated to 1.6.2 and it was updated by _Xiae yesterday, a few hours before CTP. 1.6.2 wasn't completely implemented into the server as _Xiae had to configure some things, and allow horses to be spawned. Today the horses were implemented and you are able to find them in their discreet areas / spawn points.

Make sure you download the new 1.6.x launcher from http://www.minecraft.net/download to be able to play on Intoxicated.

Intoxsheet for Mac (Update #3)

Alright, probably the last update on the Intoxsheet for Mac for a while. This'll clear everything on, and also give an ETA on when it'll be compatible for all those who use macs/just can't see the regular spreadsheet.

I found out how to do it, I have it drafted out in my head, and I've already started working on the actual page. I'm gonna start working on the design and table, and Intoxsheet SHOULD be compatible by (meaning I could have it done tomorrow, but it most likely won't be. 7/5/13 is just when it'll be 100% done for sure)  July 15th, 2013. I'll have a page added in which anyone can access if you can't see the regular spreadsheet. Like I said before, it's gonna be a pure html and css table so you can use CTRL+F, and so I can update it with ease.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions please PM V7s / Inhale_ in game.

Thanks!

New Additions to the Mall and plots repo'd!

A new addition that has been quite popular since added was added to the Mall today - in the back left of the mall there is an area where you are able to pay 1mil to have your head put on, with your name above it, and your own quote below it. The spot is permanent, but the spots are limited to about 20 people. So far around 6 have been taken.

Here's a picture of this area as of 7/5/13 at 8:53PM Mountain Time:




Along with that addition to the Mall, Ball__So__Hard asked the server what they want to spend their in game money on.. The majority opinion was on homes/new plots. Ball__So__Hard repo'd 3 plots from where the owner was inactive for over 30 days, and made them available. 

The plots that were made available:

  • #12 - Medium
  • #13 - Medium
  • #23 - Small
Not even a minute after Ball__So__Hard made the announcement that he made these plots available, all plots were already bought. The current owners of the new plots are unknown.
