So are people actually playing atm? The technic server seems really dead, barely any sign of activity. And from what I gather no other server is really active. Am I right?

I still have the set up Tank gave us, but since everyone else is using the launcher thing, and between my incompetence with mods and short temper not figuring what's gone wrong with my installation, I've just not been playing Minecraft lately.

Minecrafts just gone dead ever since the launcher came out but no ones on either of them

I haven't been going on Tekkit 2.0 because the map is going to get reset anyway and I haven't been going on the other server because no one is on it

I haven't been going on Tekkit 2.0 because the map is going to get reset anyway and I haven't been going on the other server because no one is on it :ohmy:

That's why I havent been on. Everyone is so into tekkit and I seem to be the only one who'd bother playing on that server, and I may as well be playing Single Player, which is something I dont want, since I play MC because I enjoy the company

Play on Tekkit 1, as the map SHOULD be able to be upgraded to Tekkit 2, just not yet.

I'm salivating over the new world height.

I haven't really heard much about the new mob AI, is it going to make mobs attack villagers and add a bit more intelligence.

Ive seen on a video of the latest minecraft I think its 1.2 and the zombies can actually break down wooden doors and kill villagers

This could come in handy for the extra map height http://goo.gl/5YMeG

Meh. I was hoping Mojang would use the higher default world height to put more stuff underground (... and maybe make it not intrude on each other quite so much). I'd really like to see DwarfFortress-like epic cave systems to explore in there ...

Good point, its irritating when you go cave exploring and keep going into caves you've already explored

They should add more dimensions such as the Aether because the nether and the end are just boring and ugly to look at

Right which ones the active server, I have 2 known to me right now....
The new one on the Technic Launcher under Tekkit mods

or

The older one under the batched file containing New Isis et al.

Both are, but everyone aside from Kackra is still trying to figure out what exactly the plans for the maps are.

From what I gather is that the old map is going to be backed up and then taken down and then when the fixed version of Tekkit is back up we close the other map and get a new perma map.

Might as well start a new map to update it to 1.1 and the new tekkit. (Come at me haters.)

» Sun May 13, 2012 6:56 pm

So the one in the technic launcher is the main one but its justs empty of life: P

» Sun May 13, 2012 4:42 pm

It will eventually be, but I haven't seen anyone else on. I still check up on the 1.0 map when I get the chance.

» Sun May 13, 2012 8:19 pm

I've been running both launchers at the same time, no ones on them - apart from WhaleHunter last night on the new map and Kackra a few nights ago on the Isis one

WTF is the need in the constant /myspawning underground when my bed in the open

-- Yeah...I won't be on the newest map often...about 20 myspawn attempt with the bed in multiple places still cause me to fall into the ground and either suffocate or "fall to my death"

I'd personally like to see the reimplementation of /home again, taking into consideration that we aren't planning on doing any RPs at the moment, as far as I know that is.

Edit: Or something similar, if that particular mod isn't available for use. Along the lines of being assured that you won't be killed.

Seeing how we don't really have any kind of economy, and the server is mostly just for non competitive fun right now, I'm re-allowing /home for all groups. Not sure why Bone nixed it in the first place.

Commands are
/sethome - set home to current position
/home - teleport to where home is set

He nixed it so that we'd be compelled to participate in the whole 'RP' thing to do anything advanced, which nearly destroyed and disbanded the server completely.

» Sun May 13, 2012 12:25 pm

I used to hang around the older server (was there a change?) at one point. I'm not up to date anymore though. Could I be allowed into the current server? My Minecraft name is JayBiondo. Thank you.

» Sun May 13, 2012 9:16 pm

Running a server through Hamachi so my friend at college and I can play. Works really well. No lag or stuttering. I used to do it when we lived together and it stuttered a little then, but I've upgraded my computer since then, so woo!

» Sun May 13, 2012 12:50 pm

Is there any chance of us having a 'default' server IE one without client side mods? Trying to understand what I'm borking up is giving me a headache, and I'm thinking of just saying screw all to mods except texture packs. There's so many cool mods, but I honestly don't PC game, so I have no idea what I'm doing when I install them, nor am I a tech whiz from the start. But I don't want to ask for a 'normal' MC map/server/ thing unless more than myself would be willing to play.
