Regarding "7.0 / New World Reloaded":
The way the 6.4.2 New World modpack has been managed, really sucks. We held out for a long time during your bootcamp in hopes that New World would eventually be updated, and we kept investing more time in running a stagnating server and trying to expand the playerbase.
To be basically f****d over and told it'll now never update, 6.4.2 is a dead modpack, we need to dump our existing server and map, and start over etc. Simply unbelievable. We wasted so much of our time waiting for you to come back to update it, for nothing.
And yet now you're reusing the exact same old modpack name and brand, for this new "Reloaded" that's actually a completely different modpack, and releasing new clients under the old modpack name that don't work at all with the old 6.4.2 server, with no indication in the New World launcher description AT ALL what is going on or why nothing is working anymore....
D'oh.
What's to say you're not going to suddenly flake out all over again with the future support for this 7.x thing?
I think we're about done with you and your modpacks. I don't think we want to get involved in another modpack built by just one maverick guy working alone, who may suddenly get a "great new idea" and launch off in a new direction yet again, suddenly dumping all the people that were relying on him for the previous pack.
This is not the place to flame about what you think the problems with NWMP are. Please, if you have any problems with the way things were done before I returned, have the contact info for Johnny Cushman, who controlled everything while I was away.
I told everyone that the pack would not update, to any major versions. I also said (this is all right before I left for IET, just so everyone is clear) that the pack would update and make small changes. Now, while I was gone Johnny decided to ignore that fact and update the pack by adding and removing a few mods. They were not big changes but, hey he still decided to not do as I asked while I was gone. He is now long gone buddy. Sorry for the problems with the pack v7.0 and below, I really had nothing to do with any of the versions(Well, the versions while i was gone obviously.) I did try and fix his mistakes in the pack with v7.1 and above, but apparently while I was away learning to fucking kill a man, forge and mojang changed EVERYTHING up. I again, I am so sorry that my updates had forced you are restart your....
GAME. I did not know, at the time, forge said "fuck you" to everyone and changed the shit for downloads. Once I learned, it was a pretty easy fix and I was able to start work on NWMP_Reloaded. (BTW The name is just a name, don't worry about what i want to call the pack, its just a way for players to question and read to find out "hey, kyles back and NWMP_Reloaded isn't fucking bullshit anymore.")
Also, as for NWMP_Reloaded. I just got the first version out yesterday....FTB updated it to v0.0.2 because of a small error I made that caused the download not to work. (Sorry Im not perfect.) The server version is up for you to download at any point because I started the uploads right before I went to sleep. Give me more than 2 weeks to get this shit sorted. I am sorry to everyone, but I have missed my family, I have missed having freedom and my friends. I DID NOT come back to start to immediately start work on NWMP. I give my time in order of Importance. My Family, My Friends, My Duties as a US Solider and then Minecraft. If you don't like the pack, please for the love Jesus Christ, don't play it. Tell your friends not to play it, start a campaign to bring NWMP to the ground. I really don't care, i do this for the people who enjoy the pack.
Anyway, sorry for the language. I am not "mad." I am annoyed. There is a difference. Have a nice day man. BTW I got home OCT 18th. Your definition of "Weeks" the NWMP_R 0.0.1 hasn't been working is a little misconstrued, try about 4-6 days. [DOUBLEPOST=1383693492][/DOUBLEPOST]
Download issues that match the one in this thread (connection refused) are to be posted in this thread:

It would surely be useful for Kyle and myself (tech support) to know what you're actually talking about. If it's the issue I spoke about above, then report it there.
Who helps with whatever you're talking about is entirely dependent on what the actual problem is.
Thanks for this info, but it was just some problem with the download. Some messed up Text file the launcher doesn't like seems to work its way back into the pack every now and again.
