Our Picks

Bit of information on why I haven't been around much recently. I'm developing a new system (i'm keeping it a secret currently) this will be a big enough update to JR and will give back to our community that sticks with JR's gaming servers. I'm hoping to release it at the start of next month. Currently I have developed the system and it is working and we will be beta testing it soon enough. 

JRTV hasn't been forgotten, episode 10 is nearly ready but will not be released till some time in the next week or two. The reason being I'm on holiday next week and will be ceasing all development and JR work while I am on holiday and the episode is not complete yet. 
I hope you can understand the wait till the next episode, I've been asked by a few people who watch the episodes when it'll be released. It'll be here soon just please bear with me.

JR's server bills are coming up soon and if you want to support our content and servers please consider sending a small donation to me here: https://jrnetwork.net/clients/donations/ I spend a lot of time working behind the scenes on JR. Even if you don't see me around the website or on discord it's because i'm busy working on new features, updating servers or else. For context, I've spent over 60 hours on the new system myself coding.

JR is becoming a big enough platform and I'm trying to get more things integrated to become a more universal experience to manage. We have many different systems running different parts of the servers and website. Hopefully soon everything will be on a more unified panel soon, most things are, just a few stray servers.

Five M will be coming properly to JR, currently we have been having issues with running a server on our platform, I have a couple of ideas to fix these issues. This will be implemented soon.

If you are wondering what this blurred image is, it's a git of all the commits to this new upcoming system. The staff all are aware of what I'm building. I just hope you all like the idea. 

Hi guys,

I'm always looking to improve the services we run. Whether adding more servers or working with the community to better our existing ones. I'd like to know a few things from you guys. We have a lot of members come and also go, which is saddening as sometimes after members leave I find out that they leave because either something is not on our server (s) or something is not working right. Instead of notifying me users are just leaving and that really is bad for a growing community like JR.

I need to know if something is wrong, if something needs to change. I always work with the community to make things work better, just talk to me

We always have a place for suggesting ideas and you can do so here @ https://suggest.jrnetwork.net/

We always have a place for getting help too: https://jrnetwork.net/help/help-center/

Either way, please spend a few minutes to help us answer these questions. You can use the template below if wanted.

This poll will decide mods we will keep going forward.

There is another poll in relation to new mods to install please fill this poll out from here:

We hope we continue to make JR a enjoyable experience for everyone

Few website things have changed today, read on for more information

- Enabled attachment sending between members in private messages
- Allowed all users to create Read Only clubs (Everyone can see the club and its posts, but only members can participate. Users need to be invited by a leader to join.) See clubs at https://jrnetwork.net/clubs
- Increased reaction allowance to 20 times per day per user (Unless supporter / premium rank)
- Ability to create private albums / restricted albums / & delete albums so you can take control of your images or use us to store & share your images. https://jrnetwork.net/gallery
- Ability to change rating of content on JR if wanted
- Can now import status updates from facebook / twitter 
- Ability to lock / unlock / hide own content
- Users can now choose between a grid or table layout on the forum
- Mobile view has been improved slightly, especially in relation to the server list

Subscriptions
JR now has 3 different paid-for ranks, this is to help us continue to provide services, its not compulsory in any way and you will not receive a better / less better service from JR with or without them. By purchasing these ranks you will get some additional features and also the removal of adverts from our website. You can see the differences between the ranks here:

https://jrnetwork.net/subscriptions

Other small updates

Automatic content moderation is now at JR.  This means that if staff don't react fast enough after 5 unique member reports the system will automatically hide the content and staff will be notified. 

We are also working on an issue that is occuring on the server list causing player names not to display. We hope to have this sorted soon.

And here today, I present you with JR Version X (X because there has been so many versions of JR I couldn't think of anything better)

A big thank you to @Robbie for the design and effort put in to the new version of JR. 

There is tons more to come to JR, We hope you continue to enjoy using our services and enjoy our future content.

 

As for future content here is JRTV #EP7 

 

As always we look at our community for new ideas for ARK.

Recently @Emma posted an idea about Treehouses on our ARK servers, this is now a reality
Take a look at the mod here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1362463382

JR costs, quite a lot. Therefore I have revamped our website hosting offers to help pay for our costs to help me try and balance finances so I'm not loosing 2 grand a year. If you'd like to get website hosting with us, check it out here: https://jrnetwork.net/store/category/9-hosting/

A few reasons to get hosting with us:

You can pay part of the balance with your JR Cash earn't by posting around the forums


You will generally always get some staff support on discord or the website


Our servers are not over crowded with tons of users hosting from us and they never will be, this means you will always get a fast load to your website


Everything is unlimited apart from the diskspace, we don't like limits, only reason we limit disk space is due to the fact we use high speed samsung ssd's on our servers


Our servers are hosted in france and are in datacentres with redundant power and great connectivity to anywhere in the EU / US



You can also help JR pay the bills by otherways:

- Purchase premium membership it's only €7.99 a month (This gives you free access to the small website package as well as other features around the website and our gaming servers.)

- Purchase merchandise here (we get a small percentage of any sale): https://shop.spreadshirt.net/jrnetwork/ or if you are in the US: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/jrnetwork/

I hate trying to raise money, I don't like asking for money, but JR costs me a fortune each year. If you want to help, great! If not, no worries, I understand

As we said last week, we have moved the release date of JRTV to, oh wait?! Today!

Hope you enjoy this episode, If you'd like to join in and get featured on JRTV please submit your content to https://jrnetwork.net/jrtv

We are trialling a new experience for our players, as suggested to me by @Emma

We are testing out this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1125442531

This is on a entirely different cluster, so therefore items can not be transfered back and forth, capitlism, cross aberration and the stargate mod are also not on this server.

This is just a trial but we welcome the community to see what they think on this new experience.

If you'd like to join the link will appear soon on our game server list https://jrnetwork.net/servers/

 

Hi Guys,

A bit of feedback from the community asked if we could try these mods: 

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1286452614&searchtext=dlc

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=870709781

We agreed to give this a shot, we are currently rebooting all servers to activate these 2 mods on all servers. Please note this is a trial, any issues with the mods and we may remove them.

We hope you enjoy the latest additions at JR ARK!

Very sorry for the delay but here is #EP3. We want to keep making JR TV for you guys. Please submit any content you have at https://jrnetwork.net/JRTV

We will use any clip from any game and edit it to fit. Please note we will only take 720p or higher game footage. You can upload the footage to google drive, one drive or youtube and link it to us on our submission page.

Think you or your friend has a good clip? You might win a 10 € steam card if we choose it as the best one submitted that week! Good luck.

I need to get more content to use for JRTV. Can anyway suggest any YouTubers / Live Streamers that would send in some original clips? So far our videos have got pretty good reviews and I want to continue to make and edit this content. If you could suggest to any friends or people that you know who would send in some clips please help me out.

We are looking for fails, cool shots, funny content and it can be from any game.

Tell the people that you think would like to help to look at: https://jrnetwork.net/JRTV You can also submit footage at this link (it only takes a few seconds and you don't have to sign up if you don't want to.).

The next episode of JRTV is now available, Hope you guys enjoy it. 

If you have any cool fun videos please send them to https://jrnetwork.net/jrtv

The winner of the latest video submission was @Flidiot a steam card is on your way

A few players have been rather annoyed that the Kibble Table mod had stopped working. 

Unfortunately this was out of our control, I have attempted many reinstall's of the mod and we haven't been able to get it working again. To be honest, it wouldn't even download back on to the server.

Just to remind you that the final date for entry for the next JRTV episode is Friday. The best video we get will win the user 10 Euro or equivalent in steam credit! Read more...
