Hello tributes!
As you may realize, Minecraft 1.7.6 is now out; Mojang has done some changes in this version to prepare for name changing in 1.8 (you can not change names yet). As you may know if you were playing on our servers last night, we've already updated to support 1.7.6. We currently support all released 1.7 versions except 1.7.7 on our servers: 1.7.2, 1.7.4, 1.7.5, 1.7.6, and 1.7.7.
EDIT: 1.7.7 came out shortly after 1.7.6 to fix some crash issues; our servers now support 1.7.7 as well.
EDIT 2: Mojang released a new version of 1.7.7 without warning anyone. Due to changes in this version, 1.7.7 is no longer compatible on our servers as of right now, and you'll get an "Outdated server! pretending to be 1.7.7" message when you connect. Use 1.7.6 or lower for the time being.
EDIT 3: Early this morning Mojang released 1.7.8 to fix 1.7.7 release bugs. This new version is still not compatible with our system. - kpwn243
Here's the answers to a few frequently asked questions on name changing:
Q. Will I lose my rank if I change my name?
A. No, your rank is tied to your UUID (unique/universal user identifier). Your UUID is a string of numbers and letters that are assigned to your Mojang account, and do not change even when you change your name.
Q. Will I lose my stats if I change my name?
A. No; same reasoning as above. Your stats are tied to your UUID.
Q. When will name changing be supported?
A. According to Mojang, you'll be able to change your name sometime after 1.8's release, after they have completed an update to their web services.
Q. I'm banned and I'm changing my name. Will this unban me?
A. No. Just like your ranks and stats, bans are also tied to your UUID.
Q. When will 1.8 come out?
A. As far as I'm aware, the last Mojang estimation was for a release sometime in May.
