Idea: What if the 1.8 Arda server just came back instead of the update?... Any thoughts???

I agree. It has been almost 4 years. We don't even get updates anymore. I understand there is a lot of RL stuff that goes on- but I feel like there is a lack of transparency in what is going on. Maybe Frelling could reach out to someone and get help with the coding or whatever plugins need to be fixed/updated. Seems like a lot of work for one person to do. I just wish someone would give us some form of information. It almost feels like the server will never be back.

A status report would be encouraging, but yeah, he could probably use a helper or two. I'd prefer to see whatever new update he's working on, though. 1.13, or whatever it will be. I've been missing VC like crazy lately, and wish I could help somehow. I would become a sponsor but that's suspended right now.

I just remember when Arda was still a thing, but the update was also still a thing. I understand that issues happen, and when you're running something as complex as a homebrew server, those issues can be numerous. Three and a half years. It didn't seem like it had been that long, but I've been keeping track. Trump hadn't even been elected then. Since that election though, time has slowed to a crawl thanks to the news cycle.

We were all so excited back then. The excitement of getting the new content on our server. End cities, elytra, shields, new combat techniques, new blocks. All of it was going to be fun for the server. Then time passed. I'm just jaded now. All I really want is my Arda back. I have numerous builds I want to finish, including a guardian farm, an entire island to populate with a city, and a minecart tunnel to dig to said guardian farm. What have I been up to lately? Along with Roseis, I'm a member of the Southern Canal Corps on 2b2t. We help dig the largest community works project in minecraft history, a canal that stretches over 200,000 blocks. It's a tiny glimpse of order on the world's worst minecraft server.

We're asking. We're begging. We're pleading. Give us SOMETHING. This server holds a lot of good memories for me to just see it die due to a lack of anything going into it.

I'll reach out to Frelling and get an update from him, or he'll post something himself. Thank you for making this post. As you can imagine, you guys are not along in wanting to see Arda back, and just the fact that you're still occasionally visiting the forums gives me some hope that VC can still be fully revived some day. I've never been secret about that without Arda or my Aelfheim, my Minecrafting has virtually disappeared. 3.5 years of work is too much to just let go.

Either I or Frelling will post with something soon.

Thank you very much, LWK.

You have always been a staple in this community. I would love to see the server revived so that we may all return to building. The community in itself is enough to keep one waiting to hear news.

Miss everyone.

I also am looking very forward to the return of Arda. Since the server has been down I feel like I've lost both a creative outlet, and the great community of VC.

See you all hopefully soon,
