Are you... moving back into your old house?

Actually yes, Havoc had to remove a sign before I could move in though. The KKK crosses were a nice touch, by the way. ;D

Welcome back to the server than. I guess I'll just do an introduction now. My minecraft name is Dextreme_X. Enjoy new stuff that was put in the server (including my Blaze, which still isn't finished with the smoke ^_^).

Hah, thank you, I saw your blaze when I was following around Josh. Very impressive.

Thank you:) Took me a week or 2. I misplaced towers in progress and i had to move them. Haven't worked more on it for a while, so i might as well finish what I started.

Christ, I remember hearing about that.

There is now a minecart line between Ma'spa Stargate and The End station. It's underground and doesn't interfere with existing buildings. If people don't like the aesthetics of what I've done to End station I can always tear up the tracks and roll it back for re-designing, I guess.

Also you can no longer get to the Old Mill in Genesis by Minecart since the 3-way junction stopped working ages ago - With people moving back to Genesis, I've decided to remove the junction entirely and carts will simply go through it.

Yes, I laugh about it now but back then it nearly made me leave the forum altogether. Fortunately, I think everyone's moved on now. Lord, it's been a year or so after all.

How things change.

Hello chums! A lot has happened in my absence!

Still in Romania actually but I'm back in the city now - not in the Middle of Nowhere. Cities, as it transpires, have more opportunities for internet access. For weeks all the sites I frequent, and my emails, have been really quiet, then I go away for a fortnight and come back to about 60 emails and big updates all over. Plus I missed the Olympics opening ceremony. :(

It's good to see STM is back on; you've matured a lot on the forums since you were banned from the server (not that you're the only one or anything ;)), and I think you well deserve re-admittance. I'll have to remove your grave from Exoddus Crypt.

So, 1.3.1 is finally out! Been a long time coming. I'll have to review the changes. Removal of Creative is a big change and will be something of a shock to the system but, as much as I don't really like it, I agree that it's for the better. Does this mean you've removed the unfair stargates from your house, Havoc?

On the topic of the adventure signs I 'discovered' a few weeks ago, I'm actually gonna admit that I posted them. I'm admitting to this for a couple of reasons. Partly because it's the first part of a quest and I was heavily relying on having access to spawn eggs for the designing of dungeons and challenges, so lack of creative is going to be an issue. I want to make a good series of dungeons so it'd be good to discuss options about this some time, Havoc.
The other reason I'm confessing is that I'm gonna delay the start date again. Partly 'cus I want to see if I can use some of the new features but mainly because it involved a trip to the End and I need to come up with an alternative since Havoc's decided not to fix the problems his mods caused there.

Anyway, I'll be home tomorrow night and I'm expecting a busy few days when I'm first back, but I'll try and get on the server in a few days.


Oh, and are we yet at the stage where it seems the only way that the Great Delving will get made is by Authorized Modding?

Of course not, don't be silly. Anyone can have an elevator like that if they want, saves a whole lot of climbing up and down.

Well obviously if someone has some good ideas for the server like an adventure dungeon or something else that is made for the community and requires Creative items like spawn eggs I would have problem no giving them out.

The End should have been reset a while ago, if it is not I'm not sure what causes the problem. A reset end also means a reset dragon though, so keep that in mind if you want to go there.

We're actually doing fairly ok. We've got some new labor players to help out and the use of TNT here and there makes the process go a lot quicker. We'll get there at some point.

Since a lovely new couple is now moving back into Genesis, Genesis North (or east, or whatever...) now has a stargate; Genesis N.

Me and DarkHoodness had a Herobrine scare down there.
It is an honour and a privilege to work for The Great Delving. So far I've mined >8320 Blocks

Thanks, Havoc. He's the wife.

How come you take it more than you give it, then?

How come I layed down all the wiring, and furnished the house, then?

I was busy mining and killing things.

With the Iron Sword and Iron pick that I made for you.

Before I got the diamond pick from the diamonds I found in the tunnel I mined.

This green bastard killed all our sheep.

And how much of the house? D=

How did he even get in there? Forgot to light your roof?

It seems like this build removed colored wooden stairs (anything other than regular wooden stairs). Either that or someone stole them from the Ma'spa Warehouse :fuzmad:

I've cut away some of the distant chunks in our world, mostly after The Great Delving. There should be spawning new chunks there when you get past the snowy bit.

The world is getting pretty huge at this point though, looking at the map, we could fit the size of Genesis when we left it at least 4 times and still have room to spare. Please go easy when you're exploring and try to stay a little closer to home if you can. There's plenty of resources in the ground near Ma'spa, you don't have to traverse half the planet to find new ones (except Emeralds maybe).

Is there actually a map we can see? I know some servers have a Google Maps type thing, it would be quite interesting.

Those types of map things take gig upon gig to render, so I'm still looking for a place to put it.

What about that huge, huge amount of ocean between the mushroom island and Ma'Spa? Can't some of that be got rid of as well?

Already did that.

I was in the process of bringing two mooshrooms from the mushroom island to Ma'Spa...

If the chunk you're in was deleted it'll simply re spawn next time you log. (why didn't you take the portal anyway though?)

Including the mooshroms? Then in what way is the chunk deleted?

You can't lead mobs through portals.
