First and most importantly: There is no physical way we can update the server to 1.8 inside of a few weeks of its release. 1.8 itself will, I absolutely assure you, have an hysterical number of bugs in it and will take a long time to patch to a workable state. After that we must wait for Bukkit to update to a stable build and after that we must wait for each and every plugin we have to update. If you wish to play on our servers you will need to either not update or have the facility to swap between client builds.
