G'day Tributes! (insert wave emoji here...later)
It's time we bid Alpha farewell and ride our way into the long awaited beauty that is Open Beta, allowing the rest of the world to enter the creation that we've brought back from the dead. It wasn't an easy task, but thanks to the entire MCGamer team from moderators all the way up to Chad and Col, as well as everyone that has participated in our "closed" alpha, have helped shape the server into what it is today and what it will be moving forward.
It's been a long few months with several hundreds of hours of development time (and still rolling! Sorry not sorry, Chad! ) since the end of August, but it's been time well spent making tweaks, improvements, and overall updates to the entirety of MCGamer. We've upgraded a various number of internal tools, updated backend software/libraries, fixed old standing bugs,introduced new bugs, added some new features... you get the point. It's 2019 -- MCGamer was stuck in 2016; we're in a much better place than when we started off and the servers are better off for it. Hopefully in the near future, we'll post more information about our process from day 1 to today... but, I don't believe you're here to see us ramble on.
Without further ado, and to prevent wasting more time writing this post, here's what you need to know.
MCGamer Alpha Closure & Shutdown
Date: Thursday, 21 November 2019

Probably FAQ
Q: I've been permanently banned or muted. Will my punishment be lifted?
A: No. Any punishments from Alpha will persist.
Q: Can I keep playing after the Alpha shutdown and before Beta launch?
A: No, the server will be down.

A: Yes. Alpha Stats will be retained and will likely be tracked in a separate leaderboard, however, the current stats will be reset.
