so far we have 20 players on the whitelist, five of which seem to be making this into their home. I logged of to go to sleep, come back on and HOLY **** there's the most awesome fort down the long road from the spawn! Nice buildan guys!
Here's the current diamond count, ignore the says - its for easy console pasting
say DIAMOND VAULT:
say KinoftheFlames - 4
say arcichardson_1 - 4
say ColonelThirtyTwo - 3
say blackveil - 8
say Bloodybladez - 5
Umm, what?
Obsidian can be found anywhere a water spring underground dumps onto a lava spring.
Saplings drop from dying leaves as always.
well saplings aren't much of an issue anymore, but the spawn started on a huge island with almost no trees.... so ya. everyone seems to be doing their part in planting trees though, so it hasn't been needed!
Also obsidian is generally created by players through pouring water onto lava - which doesn't work atm. We'd just have to spawn water/lava separately anyway, so it's saving us a step
OK guys we found out that past 5 players everyone starts to lag a bit, so the server is now capped at 5 for a lagless experience. Sorry about that! If you want to help increase the server limit to 10 (or even more!) check out the orignal post for donation information.
updated the server to new java wrapper v5 and llamacraft! Also updated main post with vital information and rules, so read it again people! Lots of functionality has changed!
In game news: the arena is almost complete and players have begun to stockpile iron and other materials for trade. Also quite a few have wandered off main-isle and who knows what they hell they are doing
Great server, having a blast. Community is top notch, everyone is not only friendly and helpful but has a great sense of humor. You can bust the admin's balls without worrying about a ban or some childish reaction.
Only rageworthy part is me staring at "kicked by admin" cause playercap is reached! I'm sure they're laughing at me from inside the server. Watching, and laughing.

Actually we feel your pain elandroth! Everyone in here is sad you can't join! GoGoMinecraft was admitted and has been trying to join all day too. Anyway, because of these reasons I've added a donation link on the main post so that the server can be upgraded if enough people donate. And if you donate more than $3 at once you can get a reserved slot.
I hate servers that do reserved slots because to me it seems like they're just grubbing money, but this is the best solution since I myself am broke.
So if you keep getting auto-kicked all the time, try reserving a slot! Hope to see you soon either way :biggrin.gif:
forgot to mention this, but when you donate more for a reserved slot, tell me your info so i can manually add you.
For example the person that just donated, PM me your name and how much you just donated (confirmation)
Congrats on running such a reputable server, Kin. It's one of a few torches in the night of the grifer.
Thanks man! Where did you hear the good news?
Also, thanks to Elandroth's donation the server will be upgraded on Monday to double the bandwidth, allowing for a player cap of 10, bypassable by Elandroth who is a reserved member for August! :biggrin.gif:
This is the first server I've run and even though it's a ***** to maintain right now with the constantly changing environment (server wrappers, bandwidth issues, griefer firewalls, etc.) I'm really enjoying seeing our community come together. And with the Llamacraft mod people are now hoarding gold and iron in secret stockpiles and trading them (since /iron can no longer be used)! Also, with no admins on iron is the best tool available :tongue.gif:
Oh and btw, we are still accepting new applicants! Come join the everything on fire and blowing up FUN!

Posts from around the forum mostly. It sounds nice. I'll see how things are going when I get high speed internet again in 2 weeks. Maybe I'll join you guys.

Can't wait man, you seem like the good sort :biggrin.gif:
The would be fire is now contained. Our first referral player (allowed access by a player I admitted) turned to griefing quite quickly. He was instantly kicked and banned. The server was reverted to an earlier state at which point those on the server discussed whether to remake their work or clean up the fire. We voted for the latter as less work, restarted the server and DESTROYED THE SPREADING EVIL. No houses were harmed during this incident, but several trees sacrificed their lives as a warning beacon to the evil unleashed upon our lands. They will be remembered.
tl;dr: Server encountered first griefer after ~36 hours. Was permabanned within 10 seconds of greifing.
