Beginning at approximately 10pm Arizona time and extending until about midnight, all servers will be unavailable while updates are performed. To find the time in your timezone, see here: http://everytimezone.com/#2015-5-7,1020,cn3 The entire server will be unavailable for a short time, and the rest of the maintenance window will see the lobby restarted several times. The maintenance will consist of security updates for the underlying OS and (hopefully) updating the lobby to Minecraft 1.8. And just to be clear, nothing about Hogwarts or anything else in the lobby will be changed, only the version update. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Maintenance has been completed, and the Lobby is now on Minecraft 1.8! All plugins have been updated to the latest versions also. There are a few new trails for VIPs maybe? And pets as hats look even more hilarious now? Let me know if you see any bugs.
Post Maintenance bug, can't get back to the lobby from Skyblock. Tried using /lobby and got "Apparate! You used magic to teleport to the Hogwarts Lobby!" and "Exception Connecting:ReadTimeoutException : null"
It also seems as though people can't access the server either; http://www.sandlotminecraft.com/index.php?threads/cant-connect-to-server.23128/#post-160231
This isn't really a bug, but i'd like to point it out, its really annoying. When someone leaves or joins, it says "Lamppost joined the game" and when a player leaves, "Lamppost left the game". It's quite annoying if your trying to chat in the lobby, is there a way out of this?
