They will still be supported in some way, especially the PvP servers. It would actually be easier for us because any new features we implement on the new servers that aren't drastic could just be kinda copied over. :P
If we still have it, can the old old opprison (1st one) be out with the legacy servers, as it was my favourite part of the server and would love to have it back :p
If someone was to get banned on the new op pvp would that also link to the old pvp and the player would be banned on both servers?
Exciting! I would definitely consider becoming more active once the update is implemented. I do agree with adding Infection back to the server as it was once a popular choice among players. It would also be nice to see ArcherPvP back on the server considering it is a fun and uncommon game mode. However, this is just an idea and not completely necessary...
We're aiming for mid to late September for release. We want to take our time and make sure we get everything out - we want to release with little to no bugs and as optimized as possible.
Infection used to have a pretty huge player-base...it was easily one of the most played game modes on Mineverse alongside OPPvP. When it reset in May 2016 there was always at least ten players online at any given time, and of course it would be much a higher number during the peak times. I think a lot people would come back and play it, if it were to be reset properly and actually looked after.
