    Alice has been shutdown to prepare for the upcoming world, while Vincent has been shutdown because it is currently incompatible with the new backend.

    So, does this mean there'll just be Alice now, or is Vincent coming online later? Might be nice to have just one server, keep everyone in one place.

    Vincent will come back.

    No point giving an estimate. There are so many moving parts and things always go wrong. Checklist has 103 items and currently we're 50% through, with the hardest obstacles passed (the majority of tasks left are simple things or simply QC). My personal estimate has been "today" for the past 2 days, but something has come up each time.

    And here we have another rare view of the average SKCraft user when SK posts a message: http://i.imgur.com/ZEZZNPg.gifv

    (I won't embed the gif, it is massive and slow to load, but the imgur gifv is much smaller and faster to load, but unsupported in forums)

    Many be like " Hurry, man! I'm waiting!Get the eff done!"
    Few be like "Thank you, dear SKC people for your work."

    Thanks, everyone. I'm really looking forward to it.

    I'd rather have the server when it's good and ready than play on a rushed, broken Alice.

    Oh, you don't have to worry, it'll be broken regardless if it's rushed or not. A game with this many mods is damn near impossible to fully stabilize right out the box.

    Alice 1.4 ran at half a tick/second when it first opened...

    Pssst, I'm giving you plausible deniability in case something goes wrong with the launch, just go along with it.
