Tekkit Server Map, Backups Destroyed

Tuula — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:36:26 +0000

On Sunday, 29 January 2012, the virtual private server hosting our Tekkit Survival Minecraft server experienced catastrophic data corruption. Our server’s map and all backups were lost in the event, leaving us with no path to restoring the world that we started on 13 January.

This leaves our Tekkit community in limbo, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We’ve just gotten to know many of you only recently, and are quite happy with the small community that’s taken up residence here. At this time, we are weighing our options for future hosting. Be assured that as soon as we have a concrete course of action for the future of our Tekkit server, we’ll let the community know.
