FAQ*:
Q: Why has it been taking so long till Ultra Hardcore came back after being delayed?
A: Back in april we have had some issues the minecraft server version which causes the server to shutdown and do an automatic rollback for some reason. Waiting for that to get fixed took some time. But as it was fixed at some point, there were other things which caused the event to be delayed longer (like exams, vacation, having no server at some points, etc). But im glad everything is ready now and we are ready to get started with the event!

Q: Do I have to use/download the ANsteam Texture Pack?
A: You are free to use your own texture pack, but you may miss out on some fun features without it!

Q: When am I able to join the server for the event?
A: All the players will get whitelisted 1 hour before the event. It's also the best to be in the server at least 30 minutes before the event starts!

Q: What if I can't make it last minute?
A: Please PM Arnold217 as soon as possible. This will give us time to rearrange the teams and notify people on the waiting list.

Q: What will happen if I do not notify you and I miss the event?
A: Your team spot will be given to someone else from the waiting list and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Q: What do I do if I'm on the waiting list?
A: You should wait for a PM from Arnold217 on the forums if there is an open spot for you.

Q: Am I allowed to record this event for Youtube or livestream it?
A: Yes, you can record this event or livestream it and put it on Youtube. It's always really nice to see if people enjoyed it and it is a nice way to get feedback!

Q: What happens when I die?
A: You will get revived if you have died before the 1st midnight. But you will be stuck in the lobby of the server if you have died after midnight, but don't worry! We have set up a special parkour for people to play while the rest of the event is still going!

Q: I signed up and the server still says I am not whilelisted!
A: You will need to send me a Private Message in which you tell me that you are not whitelisted. Sometimes we make a little typo with the names when whitelisting everyone.

Q: Which version of Minecraft do I need to join the server?
A: You need Minecraft 1.7.9 or Minecraft 1.7.10. Both of those versions will work to join the server.

Q: Is there a Mumble/TeamSpeak server that we can use during the event?
A: Yes, we have an unofficial TeamSpeak server for all the Approaching Nirvana fans! More details about the TeamSpeak server in the Approaching Nirvana Forums.

If you happen to have more questions, do not hesitate to ask!
