Org Minecraft Server

Damnable... I would really like to send these goons a few expletives. It’s so unacceptable that I have difficulties to decide just which level of incompetence they belong under.
I have a sneaky feeling they are the new generation.
It’s telling that I am getting old, complaining on the young and their sheer disrespect for established etiquette. I don’t care - Someone should just slap these loiters over the head.. GTF back to work.

I feel like I have lost months worth of work. It’s not something easily replaced.
I look at my tools and realize they are of old worn out stock. Where are the hours spent gathering exp and renewing them? Where are the new fantastic tools I made – those with lucky enhancements?
Where are the new floors in the square keep? The removed and remodeled staircases are still there, unfinished.
The freshly built walls and ceilings are simply not there… untold stacks of sheared wool are still sitting on grass eating backs.
The last efforts to mine resources are lost in time and the stuff gathered are still sitting in the bedrock.

And people are spending time on an old snapshot of the server, making it increasingly difficult to move back to the what-should-be-the-current game.

It’s depressing.

My wife just pulled Elise off Minecraft.
We were on the roof of the square keep shooting mobs with bow and arrow, when we were ambushed by zombies. My fantastic bow, takes down most mobs with one shot, but Elise got pushed off the roof and died, apparently that scared her to the degree that she had trouble sleeping last night.
I recovered her gear as I thought that was what she was worried about. But apparently she is still a little too young to let such things go.
Yeah.. you fall off stuff and die, but you're back on your feet and can continue in a beat... the real loss is if you can't recover your gear.
I am like: get back up on that horse... let's not make this a traumatic incident. Learn and move on. My wife is unfortunately of the more protective type.
I am not gonna debate a mother with cubs... that is just insane. I have talked it through with Elise, explaining that it is to be expected to have such incidents and that all is ok. We recovered all her stuff and there was really no loss.

It gets better.

I had to rebuild the entire Arena. THE ENTIRE ARENA. That was an actual month of work, not just two weeks. Take my word for it, it goes MUCH faster with creative mode. Frankly, I'm prepared to declare the old server a total lost cause now so if you'd like I can give you access to creative to make your repairs now. I'm going to need to do the same, as a lost all of the improvements I made to the outside of the Arena, as well as a lot of interior decorating in my lair.

Right... so what are the rules while in creative mode? Just redo what you lost and fill up the coffers with the materials you dug out of the castle (I removed a lot of stone floors and rebuilt new in wood)?

Do whatever you feel is appropriate to replace what was lost, including rebuilding and replacing lost materials. It does not need to be precise and if for some reason the final result is a bit different than it was before that's perfectly fine. The point is to make replacing what was lost as painless as possible. Just let me know when you're finished and I'll disable the mode. If it helps, I started using creative this morning to replace the work I lost around the Arena and in my lair.

@Sigurd You should have the ability to use creative mode now. To turn it on, just type /gamemode c and to turn it off type /gamemode s. Let me know if that doesn't work. Also, let me know whenever you're done replacing what was lost.
