As you might have noticed, the MassiveCraft server is down. We had a new Denial of Service causing the server to go down, as well as the website and the Teamspeak. Due to the increased risk of this happening again, and with potential expansion in the future, we planned to do a complete overhaul of our hosting services.
We are changing to a more secure hosting solution. The issue here is however, that hosting the server the magnitude of MassiveCraft involves alot of money, and we have to be very carefull with picking the right hoster. Meanwhile we will put up a temporary server solution that will allow limited access to play, this server will be up in the next 24 hours Players should however keep in mind that this server will not feature the same amount of players as the old regular server. Luckily this is only temporary.
Another thing that you may notice is that we will separate our hosted services into diffrent networks. The website, TeamSpeak and Minecraft server will all be seperated to prevent a total crash. For example, if the server is crashed, the TeamSpeak and website will stay online. We did however have to change some of the connection details to accomodate this. The connection info can be found below.
mc.massivecraft.com The new adress to join the Minecraft server.
ts.massivecraft.com To the TeamSpeak (up and working!)
www.massivecraft.com The website remains the same
These is some big changes and more are to come. We hope you continue to support us and understand the difficult situation we are in, we are working our best to quickly bring back MassiveCraft so we can all go back playing.
Best Regards,
The MassiveCraft Team.
So, for now we leave you with some random pictures and see you soon!

:D, Thanks, it’s nice to know kind-of what’s going on.
Ok then, this sounds like a plan.
Excuse me, but what am I supposed to do for the next 24 hours? xD
Finally, a challenge.
Thanks for letting us know! It’ll feel good to be back on soon.
oh i’ve been wondering why the server was down. this is good to know.
Wondering why the server is down? Try checking the wiki once in a while :) It tells you everything you need to know!
Loving the pic, Igel!!! :)
The migration is going really well :) We will be back up within some hours, just as mentioned in the post.
Hey, can we please talk, i can get you a good price on a excellent hosting company…
Good to see the website online again. Does moving the host service mean that we won’t be using Berit anymore?
(Igel, you lil’ paparazzi :P)
Berit is the equivalent of the computer you would use to run a server yourself, the host is the actual internet.
I’m glad that the website is back, and the server will be soon. But I’m a little curious about these upcoming changes….
good to se something not posted from monmarty. i thought the other elders/admins was offline.
One of the admins, please contact me, we can make a good hosting deal, for very cheap price…
ofc if u need money support i gonna buy more premiums at once if it is needble?
The ShadowRaze server has been experiencing a DDoS attack as well, in roughly the same time frame as MassiveCraft. I recommend MassiveCraft to get in touch with SR to investigate a correlation. SR already has the IP address of their culprit and are planning to take legal action.
a suggestion to help with the DoS; I think there is a script you can run that when the filter is overloaded you can send the “excess packets” to an alternate ip it may mean less ppl can log on during an attack but it maintains the tps ig, also if the server were to use a gigaport it would take a monumental attack to bring down the server but i dont know of that kind of provider is within your price range ?
