SIMMONDS — Wed, 29 Apr 2020 23:38:29 +0000

It’s time to 1up myself - Minecraftworld server has been updated once again.
You may be asking yourself: "what newness awaits in MinecraftWorld?", Well... you could just dive in and see for yourself, or you could read this list of highlights that I've thrown together. No pressure, but I made this for you.

NEW FEATURES

GRAPHICAL
- New sunset skybox
- Unlockable severe storm event (this feature really blows me away - see what I did there? I'll see myself out Lmao)
- Aether has been restructured
- Lighting actually works like real light (Crazy right?)
- Updated textures to 1.14.4

STRUCTURAL
- Fixed broken player clips allowing for players to get stuck in certain staircases

GAMEPLAY
- Fixed End spectator gravity exploit
- All lava pits have been modified to damage equally across the board (you took like 5 more HP of damage on Blu side)

OPTIMIZATION
- Area portals and a few other small adjustments have been made to better optimize the way players render the map, you’ll see the difference (trust me)

Have fun and enjoy the new map!

[UPDATE] Servers Shut Down Indefinitely Until Further Notice

SIMMONDS — Thu, 23 Apr 2020 14:55:41 +0000

Good Morning!

I hope you're all doing well. As you may know, Valve has released an official statement regarding the latest codebase leak from the tf2 dev team on their twitter.

From our review, we have not found any reason for TF2 players to be alarmed or avoid the current builds (as always, playing on the official servers is recommended for greatest security).

Our servers have been turned back on as there does not seem to be an active threat to our security.

Thanks again for your understanding during this situation.

Servers Shut Down Indefinitely Until Further Notice

Good Afternoon.

As you all likely know by now, the Source code for both CS:GO and TF2 that was made available to Source engine licensees was leaked to the public today.

Why does that matter?

With this leak, an exploit was found allowing hackers to access and execute Remote Code (clientside) against anyone connected to the server, effectively rendering TF2 extremely unsafe to play until Valve does something about it.

What does this mean?

Your PC can be taken over just by playing on the same server as the malicious bots/hackers - meaning any important files or even your Steam account can and will be accessed by these hackers.

What does this mean for Simmonds House?

At this time, we will be closing our servers indefinitely until further notice. This is due to the major risk this situation poses to the security in our infrastructure, as well as the risk it poses to the saftey of our players as a whole. Although we are closing down shop for the foreseeable future - THIS IS NOT PERMANENT! Only until Valve officially patches this issue.

We will be providing active updates on the situation as it unfolds and hope that you guys can all bunker down until this situation is dealt with.

Thank you for your understanding!
