I reallllly don't like the idea of getting rid of v4 I've always been worried that it would happen with v5, but if it's necessary...I just don't like the idea of losing 4 years of work. It encompasses my entire time on MR. Honestly, the main reason I play at all lately is because I enjoy the world we've created over these past 4 years, even if current development has slowed to a stop. The rich history of the server is written in what we've built. Remove that, and I'm not sure what we've got left.

Where did all the staff members go?

Busy busy busy.

Also this:

Let's be real though. Most veteran players are "taking a break" from Minecraft at the moment. I know I'm personally not that interested in playing Minecraft right now.

When I do find some time, I'll be (finally) starting development of MineRealm v5. With this next release, I'll be attempting to take Minecraft back to its roots, with gameplay that's enjoyable for new and old players alike.

When this development is completed, I'm planning to re-release the server - this means the map and economy of the new server will be completely separate from our existing map.

The server IS basically dead right now, which actually makes things easier for the eventual relaunch.

Let's just do MineRealm v5 on a new map, shut down the current v4 server, and put it up for download.

^ This basically, I do come on from time to time, but mostly if there is a issue people know where to find me.

Where did all the staff members go?

My life, soul, sleep cycle, and diet are all being consumed by a draft I am working on. Also, grad school.

All praise Kerovon, who makes the wind blow!

I come back after a year and everyone's gone?

Silver came back, not so much now though.
On the bright side, spawn is no longer ugly, grassy, torchy, spawn!

Where did all the staff members go?

I am online daily

I meant more like there are only six staff members total.
