Looks great Fluffy! Too bad I was reinstalling my OS that day.
Just gonna chime in with my marketing $.02 on the messaging. I agree, keep it short. If it takes more than 15 seconds (arbitrary number) to get to the destruction, we'll lose people.
As for the intro text:
"D-day: one day of safe, legal griefing and PvP while the server is updated to the latest version."
"All of the destruction you see occurred in one day, and the world was restored from backup the next day"
I'd also suggest that we eliminate references to "overdue upgrades" and "fixing the server". It makes it sound worse than it really is.
May be too late to put it in the video, but I'll throw it out here either way. Thanks for putting this together!
P.S. Spawn Rest
