Apparently, the final version of the server is going up very soon, probably within the next 8 hours. The original post from the 4craft group:

109.200.28.174 will not be going down until final release of the server.

Dev team are working on the final version of the server, everything will run much better and faster on the user end.

Things we will be including are:

-Open faction join

-Closed faction leave

-Neutual trading area at spawn

-Fixed map

-Full factions set up on their islands, when you join you will type /f home and be brought to your faction's island.

-Peggle will be added as a mini game

Just to reiterate, the current server is a test server, and it will not be going down until the final server release, all of the buildings will be lost, due to it being an updated map. Spawn will be easier to navigate and there will be considerably less jump courses.
