Minecraft - OWF server

[Wil]

Course it is, I think that was the point. It was a joke, wasn't it Phylum?

[Phylum]

Yes.

Although considering broVen is MS, I might have given him an idea.

[T-nex]

Yea. Shame on you >: (

[Manco]

Hey, have I been added to the whitelist? Just tried to log in through the IP on page 25, got a "user not premium" error message.

e: Actually, forgot I was playing offline because the client couldn't connect to minecraft.net. herf derf

[bigface1]

Okay. Can I PLEEEEASSSSEE be apart of the whitelist now?

[Phylum]

Well, it has been just over a month since you last asked…

But seriously, I'm getting the impression that this server is driving you to be a part of these forums. If that's the case, I doubt you will ever get to join.

If you genuinely want to be a part of our community, then you'll get onto the server eventually.

[DarkHoodness]

You're wasting your time, bigface1. Besides, the OWF server has been quiet lately, you're not missing much.

[T-nex]

i cant minecraft with my laptop Not really... and there's not decent internet here.... *cry*

[Crashpunk]

Theres tons of Minecraft servers out there Bigface. Why is the forums so special?

[Havoc]

Due to vacation I haven't been playing much myself, but how many people are actually still active? The server seems to be empty most of the time. I hope to see some of you online again at some point .

[Wil]

Having started working fulltime and moved to a property with no internet, I'm sad to say I have no time for, or access to, the server.

[enchilado]

I want to play - and I've tried to a few times - but my laptop just can't handle it. Hopefully I'll be getting a new one at some point, but I have no idea when.

[DarkHoodness]

Splat's gone on holiday but I see him on sometimes, I occasionally see stuff being built by E'l Scrabino although I never see him, Dripik sometimes makes an appearance, and I used to see Phylum around a few times, but not lately.

I spend an hour or two a day (sometimes more) building/gathering resources for Rupture Farms, but I haven't seen anyone online at the same time as me in the past week.

If you do take the server down through lack of active players, can I at least have a copy of the map so that I can work on RF on single player and release it later as its own map?

[Manco]

I visited briefly earlier today, immediately headed for the Nether. To be honest I think most inactivity can probably be chalked up to it being summer, and the 1.8 update we’re all waiting for.

[Phylum]

I'm bogged down with schoolwork right now. DH saw me on a week or 2 ago when I was at home with an ear infection.

I have no intention of taking down the server. Don't be silly.

[Hulaabeo]

I's always empty when I go on and if you guys are on its useually either really early or at late at night. Maybe it's because I'm in Canada.

[dripik]

I log in occasionally, but only to check if anyone's on. Also, I may have lost interest for a brief period, which might be remedied with 1.8 coming out in the nearish future.

Not that I wouldn't have anything to do on the server. Survival Mountain is still waiting for being turned into a fort. I started the outer walls at the front some time ago, but haven't been working on it since.

[Splat]

I'm back from holiday now, and will be logging in occasionally.

[STM]

It'd be far more lively if you let me and my awesomeness back in. An ideal time too since the server I'm on is starting to go into decline. =/

[Splat]

I have an apology to make but I don't know who to.

Near Genesis Base someone has built a complicated trap using an iron door, a long drop and a cursed pick. I fell into it just now and was very impressed - so impressed that I went for a second go and by being very quick, I got through the iron door before the *cough cough ahem* happened, and got into the room containing the circuitry of the trap.

Unfortunately, there was someone else already in the room, and they were green and scaly with four legs and no arms and they were not at all happy to sssssssee me.

Despite some frantic bow-work on my part, there is now a smoking crater where the circuitry was, and I am sorry to say I'm at a loss as to how to fix it (I don't get on with repeaters). I've put what the explosion dropped in a chest in the room.

Sorry, whoever you are. I hope it's repairable; please light it up properly next time 'cus I feel really guilty right now (plus the creeper hurt).




In other news, the tentative release-date for 1.8 is in 3 day's time (the 8th of September). Assuming this doesn't move, can I suggest that those of us who can, pick a time to gather for the grand opening of the Exoddus Portal?
I don't think we can plan out the town 'til we see what terrain spawns, but it'd be nice for people to be there when it opens.

Either way, I'm taking bets on where the portal opens. We have...

• In the middle of a vast, conveniently flat plain, perfect for construction of a town.
• Deeply embedded in awkwardly shaped mountains.
• In an NPC village.
• Inside an abandoned mine, within spitting distance of a poisonous spider spawner.
• In the middle of an ocean.
• Waaay up in the air.
• Outside a stronghold.
• In a monster-filled cavern deep underground.
• In a lava-filled cavern deep underground.
• In the middle of a desert.
• In Genesis Depot.

[Wil]

I would like to be there! I'm sure my boss won't mind me playing Minecraft at work if it's after my required hours.

[Manco]

I’d like to be there for the opening, preferably around the evening GMT time.

[Havoc]

I'll try to be there.

And thanks for letting me know you wrecked my trap, Splat :P

[Splat]

Evening GMT would probably be best for me, too.

And it wasn't me! The creeper did it!

[Wings of Fire]

Sounds good to me.

[dripik]

I was thinking of something similar myself. Count me in. If it happens this week, then any time of the day would be manageable for me.

We could even arrange this as a recorded semi-adventure with voice-chat. DH is our regular cameraman, and we haven't heard from him concerning the matter yet, but others with the appropriate setup for recording are free to volunteer, I guess.

[Ridg3]

I think I might re-appear to see what this portal is about and hopefully settle somewhere nice and sandy.

[Splat]

I'd suggest one person goes through the portal ahead of everyone else, just in case it is dangerous. You wouldn't want people shoving for room on a precarious platform high in the sky or over lava.

Also, if everyone brings a 'survival kit', say 4 or more stacks of cobble, a stack of dirt or gravel, a stack of torches, a supply of food to their own satisfaction (contending with the new hunger mechanic as best able) and a bed.
I'd be cautious about moving our supplies around and doing a lot of building too soon after 1.8, in case any new bugs undo our work, but if we can make some sort of outpost out there, we can get a site for Exoddus Settlement sorted, and build the town out from there. Maybe stick a wall up as and when we see fit.

Major buildings of Exoddus Settlement could be immigration (portal building) and later on the planned town hall (community chests, dormitories, notice board, etc.) when we have more of a plan and know the game version is stable.

[enchilado]

Oooh, I'd certainly like be there. I'll try to get my brother to lend me his computer, which should run Minecraft much faster.
