Apparently they like doubled the price of a server per month.

So the server will probably go down at some point.

I do have a backup of the world saved as of like 5 minutes ago though.

Without informing anyone?

Without informing anyone?

No. They informed me that if the service was interrupted I would be brought to the new price and because of unforeseen expenses I couldn't cover the server cost this month.

>.<

Apologies.

EDIT: I should probably inform you that this was all last minute. A few days ago I had the money...

[Vad]

If you guys are willing to work with me I'm trying something that might improve performance of my old server.

[Jonathan Meer]

Sure sure, whuzzat?

Server is back up on my Dell...>.<

We were all having issues while on Vad's server again that time.

Richard (Trygelan) found a good deal on some servers so we've got one set with 10 person max. We spawned some stuff to build a shelter next to the spawn area while also building a road at the spawn blocks (which won't be editable). We made a building out of bedrock and placed chests inside full of some starting tools for people. We placed them one tool per block at these are intended to be something to take for new players wanting some quick starter gear so that they can run off and get a spot rather than spend as much time punching trees.

The building is made of bedrock so that creepers can't detonate it or the road, but they can destroy the torches and the wooden door. If they destroy the door, please replace it. We did a bit of bad planning and build it up to the edge of the spawn area, which means that when we put the iron door with button there, no one without operator permissions could press the button to get in (which was kinda funny). So wood it is, for now. When we finally figure out how to get through that bedrock a bit, now that we know how to modify spawn, we'll build a building around the spawn chunk itself with a couple of exits or something.

Spawned items are only going to be used for the purpose of spawn. This includes the two of us. As soon as we finished, we jumped into lava and started anew. He logged, and I got on with Erin (She's got an account now) and we went tree punching (I didn't even take any of the tools from the chests since I just wanted the safe haven, though I may take a bow and some arrows). I claimed a giant canyon style valley behind a waterfall of a sheer cliff wall. I put a sign up at the top facing it and a workbench and plan to roof that over and start a project inside it, but there's lots of really cool landscapes that I left untouched, including some floating ground areas. The map is kinda cool, actually.

Also, there's this one piece of clay that I saw when I first spawned that I couldn't take. Because it was in the spawn zone. Which left me trying repeatedly. We lovingly left it and put a sign on it naming it "Trollclay".

Server IP: REMOVED

Please be respectful of other people's projects and please don't completely rape the spawn house's chests. He wanted bare basics with stone tools only, and doesn't plan on restocking it, so there's a very limited supply in them. Take what you need, only what you need, and use that to help get you started a bit easier. Enjoy.

EDIT: I removed the IP because rather than do what the last paragraph said, the goal seems to be to out-grief each other, and that's just stupid.

Also, yeah, we lost the previous map again, thus why we had to start anew. Vad couldn't do anything about it, so we said "Oh god dammitttttttt" and picked ourselves up off the floor and got back to work.

[Ashe]

There may also be one map restart as we try to fix something. There is at least one planned "regenerate" if we can get it to work tonight, where we plan to restart map with the same seed to get the same natural spawn. So today might be a bad day to work on any "large" constructions. So its not really available for strong play yet, but we'd love testers to mess with stuff.

[Waffuru]

I do have the old map. I can send it if you want, but I don't really care either way.

[Tyr]

I got killed by a tree. What is this.

[Jonathan Meer]

That would have been a creeper.

I'll be back in on this. Shame that all my work is gone. But blank slates are fun.

[Tyr]

No, it was an actual tree. Bonemeal is a bitch. Also, is there an issue with the server at the moment?

[Waffuru]

I can only connect after like 50 tries.

Too awesome but mine wont work D: DAMN!

e: okay, actually does, just no confirmation message whatsoever so didn't notice as I was chopping trees.

[Ashe]

I wasn't really around today. Started feeling pretty sick around 11am EST and went back to bed. Just woke up an hour ago, high temperature, but gotta run because I promised a friend I'd go out to eat with the group for her birthday. Anyway, definite plans are in the works to do a much better spawn zone with hopes of keeping that specific map. There will almost definitely be a restart of the map though, as he tries to figure out mods and other things. No guarantees on anything at the moment though, since I know what I hope to get done, and he has his own plans as well, but he's got the keys and more time to use them than I do.

If I'd realized, I probably wouldn't have released the info for a few more days till it was stable, but I also figure people just want to punch some wood and aren't that worried about it. One thing we're trying to avoid though is starting in a god damned winter map. At least this one isn't right in the middle of a blizzard.

[Ashe]

...did you guys REALLY break under the spawn how and bucket the lava we put there and go pouring it in random places?

EDIT: And broke the glass out in the spawn house so that we'd fall into the lava? REALLY?
