I was getting some lag spikes last night when I was on at the same time as Ryder. Mostly it was mob's freezing and then doing the fast update of location and actions.
I had a dream that the server was down. I have a sneaking suspicious that it was no dream. The server may, perchance, be down. It's a slight possibility. Quite right, I do say.
oh my god, ohmygod, OHMYGOD. I can't log into the minecraft server. What do I do? I need to mine. Shit what am I going to do. I NEED MY CRAFT AND MY MINE!
Minecraft is suppose to be moving to beta on the 20th. Also all alpha owners get every update ever for free, if you buy it or buy a gift code before the 20th you get this as well. Everyone else after that will get the RC and all bug fixes, no hint to what pay content for minecraft would ever be.
Just grabbed TheKids account, will give it to her on Monday (her birthday), I'll have to see if Sugar is even remotely interested and jump on one for her too.
I have been following the thread (the village) tonight, and your community seems awesome.
I have one question: is it impossible for me to play in peaceful mode?
I love Minecraft, but I have a long history of freaking the f*** out if I have to deal with monsters myself (I love watching people play, especially horror games).
You seem to play with evil mobs on, yes? I wholeheartedly understand why you would do that. I'm just a huge pussy, and I also happen to lolcats. I mean: I love cats. In a Stockholm Syndrom kind of way.
Tatty. You can set your difficulty to peaceful and you won't see creepers/mobs/baddies but they will still be there and still hurt you. Monster spawn is server controlled but the difficulty choice while in a multi map is still enabled.
No you cannot run in peaceful mode.

Sorry guys. Probably a memory issue related to Java and its wonderful memory management.
I was too busy to play last night and this morning, otherwise I would have noticed it.
If anyone ever notices it not working, please feel free to @ or DM me via the Twitter and I'll get a text message alerting me about it. As long as I'm not deep into a major comatose state (read: sleeping like the dead), I'll check it out right away.
In the case of this morning's outage, I was awake at that time, and would have been able to fix it right away.
Hey no prob Alex. Hell, it was nice to take a break from Minecraft and get a few other things done today. Also, thanks for the backup and for sharing it, and thanks to Tony for the upcoming map. You guys rock the house.
It took something like half an hour to render and about 3 hours to upload. Hah! There were something like 16,000 files to upload. Heh.
Anyways, enjoy! When you zoom in, you'll need to give it a sec to load. The blurriness will go away! Also, I can do another version without the signs, if you want. You can mouse-over the signs to actually read them, as well.
That big desert area at the top of the map. That is where I was finally killed when I got lost that one time. Lesson learned, always travel with a compass.
After reports of bouncing users and reappearing blocks. I restarted the server again this morning. I took the opportunity again to run a backup, which I'm uploading to S3 now.
By the sound of it, things are changing pretty drastically on a day-to-day basis.

If so, then do it, Prime. I see you stalking around in this thread. What are you waiting for? Join us already! Give in. One of us, one of us...
after what I've seen in here? You wouldn't get me within 20 miles of this game.
You meant to say you don't want to play with us
Thanks for the heads up K.
It's delightful.

Also: I took the downtime opportunity to make a zip of the server at the point in time I restarted it. If anyone wants to import it and/or run a map over it, feel free to DL it and give it a rip - https://s3.amazonaws.com/AlexDeGruven_Minecraft/Minecraft-12-11-2010.zip
No worries! You're doing us all a favor by running it! I'll definitely run Overviewer against it and put the map online for everyone to see.
MC-Overviewer has got all 4 physical cores PLUS all 4 Hyperthreaded cores maxed out rendering this thing. Talk about a stress test!
