Through communication with the server owner, it appears to be clear that he will not bring the server online without a stable version of bukkit, to minimization potential lose and removing troubles from the players. While other servers don't have to worry about this because materials can more easily be regained, in a hardcore environment, every lose is significant. Server crashes at key points could have devastating effects on the community.
The proper way to go about server uptime would of been to keep it up and running on the stable bukkit 1.8.1 right through to the point where 1.0 was released, however, i believe the reason this was not very achievable was the fact that SO many of the Opulentia players kept getting the new pre-releases to test the new content, that co-ordination of a server like this while people wanted to try the new content was just too difficult.
I'm sure as soon as a stable Bukkit is released Opulentia will be online, and i shall remain faithful. Because the hardcore experience is so fun and unique. I needed a long break for my exams and the downtime was all but convenient in my favor :smile.gif:.
Since rnw159 or nickyh1200 won't do release a statement, I will. I don't care if nick starts complaining about me not being part of staff.
rnw159 is well aware that bukkit has updated to Minecraft 1.01. He has recently found a new provider and is still setting up the server. He has his finals on Friday, and since life is more important than Minecraft, he needs to study for it. It should be up THIS weekend! So you can all enjoy your christmas holidays in Opulentia.
Except for me, because I need to study for my mocks.
Wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year. and yes, Ghosts of Sparta will return to rape all of you.
Oh will Ghost of sparta bore us to death again? I mean the only thing you did last time was sit in your base and mine...
Exactly. I still remember when i was out-numbered three to one against Metal and two clan newbies. They spent a long time hesitating before finally deciding they couldn't take me :wink.gif:
Metal, i look forward to the betrayels that will be bestowed upon you, I'm still waiting on the concept of an open clan being more efficient then a solo adventurer. :smile.gif:

Yes, your wonderful fairy tales are so exciting. If I do recall, you decided to join Alezzk, who hasn't made a presence on the server for ages.
That's all irrelevant, I have school and chicks to worry about now.
No.
The spawn is ugly, seriously, I do agree with the minimal design, but it's not good at all.
Metal made a new one for the 1.8 update that was better (the basic design anyway.. needs to be bigger, more water streams..)
Also I think you should add a second zone in which you couldn't build in (only with permission), but could fight. Because by the end of the 1.7 server the spawn was totally destroyed. This would give you a totally safe area and a not totally destroyed area to fight in.
Would also solve the annoying floating player name signs right next to spawn you guys built, who thought of that anyway? -.-
The glowstone box kinda looks like noob towers, lower them slightly and remove horizontal line between them (my opinion anyway).
Hope it's online tomorrow!
The problem with extending the anti build zone, is that it discourages new players from playing. People play minecraft because they can do whatever they want. People really don't like it when they spawn and can't instantly start editing terrain.
I have no idea what you mean by 'Noob Towers'
"floating player name signs right next to spawn you guys built"
Still do idea what you mean.
I plan to have a larger area, that allows building and fighting, but is regenerated once or twice a week. How does that sound to you?
No.

Personally I think the normal spawn is fine. Yours on the other hand..........
The admin of the server, rnw159, has pretty much everything set up. The new provider has (according to rnw159) "double the power of the old one". This probably means more mods and an expansion. The server should be up very very soon. No estimated time can be given currently. The only thing that is stalling the server from coming online is a response from the provider. For all of you that have run a MC server externally will know what that means. I hope rnw159 or nickyh1200 don't troll on me for providing you all with this information, it's just that they don't do it, so I might as well keep you updated. Hope you all enjoy your Christmas holidays.
yeah thats what i was going to say :biggrin.gif:
Agreed :biggrin.gif:
Can't wait to start over again! ZOMFG.
:wink.gif:
Whilst I do like the new patch, is was too f'ing big in my opinion. 2GB just for some fixes and some new maps ETC.
:Unhappyface:
