If it was a hideout it wouldn't be so visible.

$5 more! Come on, one more person chipping in and we've got the server (hell, just chip in for 1 month if you're not sure you can continue, then at least we can give the dedicated server a trial )!

Edit: Also I'm planning on using a NY server - this way we're very likely to have a fast connection from all over the world. I'm worried that if we stray away from NY we wont ensure low pings from Europe, and even somewhat distant parts of America.

Edit2: And I just forgot to start the server - server up!

Hello, could someone tell me how hard it is to get a Paradise map to spawn?
Or even a Hell map.

I've gotten over 9000! (not really) normal island maps, and several inland maps, where the lava outweighs the water by a factor of 40 usually.

Also, yeah, diamonds! A diamond pick is fun to use. And diamond swords! I wish I had one in real life. Wait, it would shatter on the first hit...diamond is not shock resistant to damage. Dropping a diamond on the ground hard causes it to form cracks.

Uh, what's funny is in most games gold armor is good. In this game, it's crappy. Which is logical. And it would be heavy. Unlike diamond armor.

Oh, and if anybody can tell me what's a good way to find slimes besides explore every inch of a 8 times the size of the Earth map, let me know.

I think you can only get paradise/hell maps on Indev, not on alpha.

Oh, okay.
That's disappointing.
Now I'm stuck with normal.

I thought all the Themes were in Alpha. not just one.

Oh well, I do love my inland map.
What about the floating landmass one?

Nothing of the sort in infdev yet - will be available as part of the Biomes update (whenever that comes along).

Come on, $5 more and we have the server. Even if someone can only put in $2, it'll take us that little bit closer.

I might be willing, but I've never used paypal before. Do I use my normal credit card through it? Or do I need to sign up for something? Minecraft online sounds awesome, especially with your guy's roleplaying set up.

Tremble in fear Vinegar Ra worshippers! You may have flooded our Oblivion Cult chamber right underneath your own temple, but it is still no match to our http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/1636/templex.jpg

Eurgh, I go away for a weekend and our server gets flooded by memes. If it's illegally built, then I wont feel bad if I accidentally destroy it.


I think you should be able to just pay it into BM's paypal account with a debit/credit card.

Hey, cool, I just generated a winter mode inland map.
not only is an inland map rare, but winter mode has a 1/5 chance of spawning.

So, I got a double rare map.

This is cool.
I also spawned three winter maps in a row.

Just don't abuse admin powers to find it.


And of course we might be able arrange legalisation.

ok, ill pitch on $5 dollars, but I want I bit of freedom on the server.
How do I pay?

Define "bit of freedom".

Because I think giving small town planning rights to anyone who puts in $5 or more could be fair. We want to keep the game that we have running, but I think it's only fair that those who are putting their money into it get a say on how it's run.

I wanna build a spleef arena. (Youtube spleef) its the official minecraft game. It'll be a huge tourist attraction. (;

Thats a great idea looks like fun

:laugh: looks awesome! We could run competitions with prize money (in-game money, of course) and everything

Ok, since we have the donators, I'll let Wamp know and I'll convert my paypal account for donations.

If any of the donators change their mind, let me know. I'll be glad to pitch in up to $10 if needed.

How the hell do I get my account to accept donations or setup a separate account for the MC server?

I'm checkin the site to see if they have a direct paypal donation service for the server. It will take 15-30 minutes for a reply from them.

I'll pay you tomorrow.

That spleef looks awesome. We must do it.

They DO have a clan payment system. I've just asked him if I actually need to order a server first.

I'm also waiting on Wamp... as he will have to admin it since he has all of the software as well as our world.

Is Notch planning on adding seasons? I generated my first snow world, and while it is really cool (pun intended ), I wished that the seasons would change. Maybe even add in a 'cold' element to the Survival gametype. You'd need to be wearing some warm clothing (a use for wool from sheep maybe?), or you'd have a limited amount of time you could spend outside with only your base clothes on. Being out of the snow (indoors), and around a fire would remove the need for the heavy clothing and perhaps a bonfire type block that could be placed outdoors if you need to be there.

Just something I'd like to see and hope he adds something similar in the future. Even if it were only a change between summer and winter, it'd still be a nice change every so often.
