Old news, I know, but... 1.3 will be out on August 5th! (I think it's the 5th, I can't be bothered to check right now.
)
Also, the BZP server is back up again, but we lost the world we'd been working on. :-/ New server's also a laggy pain that crashes every couple of hours. But I have hope that I can still do cool things with this. Just not AS cool as before.
You should probably abandon the BZP server.
The friends of the owner, and the owner himself, are quite unpleasant. And even when they cause server crashing stuff, they always get off lightly. It's not that pleasant of a server without the BZPers.
