Who was your host? And you really should've backed up every week at least like we suggested.

If you can't get the files back, I'll have to think about doing RF all over again... Maybe I'll cheat until I get the shell back the way it was, and even then that's a lot of work... A lot has changed on the server in 3 weeks. There's no way I'm mining all that damned stone again.

Maybe I'll stop altogether and concentrate simply on the adventure aspects of 1.8.

Original post:

Apparently I can't connect to the server - Not sure how long it's been down for, this is the first time I've tried since late yesterday evening. Temporary glitch or is it down for a reason?

While I'm posting here, I'll say that last night I started work on project Nether Rail in preperation for 1.8, building in the opposite direction of all the other portals in existence. How far away in the Nether will the new portal need to be from the main one in order for it to spawn people into an entirely new area?

I'm also considering building a railway to ferry people to the Genesis portal from a room inside the main base, similar to what I've done to RF's own mineshaft, rather than have them walk through that labyrinthine of tunnels and ladders each time.
