Fortunately the majority of critical bugs were resolved in the first few days. But there are still a few lingering issues that need to be addressed: most notably the broken ore generation. That is one of the main reasons that I still haven't brough the main server back online. I want to fine tune the algorithm and regenerate all ores below -2000, so that mining explorations will be more rewarding for everyone.

Incidentally, Master_CJ also constructed a very fitting memorial at spawn with dedications to several notable players from the original just test era. Although, the statue went through several phases of griefing at first, it's now properly protected. Definitely worth a visit on any sightseeing tour of the server :)
Of course, I'm also impressed by the scale and scope of so many other builds that people have created in just the course of a few weeks! Check out this before and after aerial view of spawntown to see how much the server has grown already!
The rapid pace of development is even more evident just by looking at these weekly satellite maps:
Speaking of maps, I have fielded a lot of questions lately about what exactly will happen to this map as testing nears completion. While indeed, this server was originally intended as a test of the Just Test Tribute server, I think there is merit in preserving all of the creations that people have made thus. So you can all rest assured, this "temporary" server will indeed remain online indefinitely :)
