Welcome to Blitzcraft!

Teamspeak: ts21.gameservers.com, port 9176
We have been around for quite a while, running private PvE Minecraft servers.
We are a gaming community that has run very successful and public Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor, and Garry's Mod servers, among others.
However, we recently launched a Public PvP Minecraft server!
This is a hardcore PvP/PvE mix, meaning that there are only a few rules regarding 'factions' and spawnkilling.
Nothing is given for free, not even Admins may spawn anything.
It will be difficult to survive, and that is the main point - Most Minecraft servers are too easy in our opinion.
We also use a full-featured Nether.
It runs in parallel with the normal server, and as such items/players are fully transferable.
We are looking at having some faction that uses the Nether - ideas are welcome.
We do have a FFA versus Team setup. There is a group named the Wanderers, that have no allegiances.
They may make and break alliances at will, and are the default faction.
The other group is made up of Townspeople. This is the team side of the server.
The towns may form nations or make war with other towns and the Wanderers.
At the moment we are allowing unlimited towns of a certain amount of residents each (Numbers keep changing).
Anyone may make a town if they can pull a group of players together.
Raiding is allowed and encouraged, and again there are little restrictions.
There are still some in place to keep the balance out of the hands of the townspeople.
Also, we have many anti-grief mods, keep logs of everything, and make frequent backups.
This is just a brief overview, please check our new website if you're interested: Blitzcraft Homepage
You can find the IP address and server status on the right side.
Anyone and everyone is welcome so long as they are civilized, obey the rules, and respect everyone - not just the staff.
After you read the above, and are still interested, you may apply here: Whitelist
You must read the rules. I can detect if you have read them or not.
We are also looking for feedback. We know for a fact that nothing is perfect, especially a just-launched server.
Plan on many changes, and somewhat of a 'director' aspect. If the world becomes unbalanced or stagnant, certain..."events" may occur.
The current staff:
FoolMeOnce
Rudeolf
TheMindtaker
In any case we hope to see you soon, not only because we're nice people...but because we like lots of competition :wink.gif:
fail server if its hardcore pvp why is there anti-grief
Oh, I'm sorry, have you actually played in the server yet? Perhaps you have, in that case, perhaps your pissed off over the fact that you can't just go up to someone's shelter and randomly burn it for your own amusement?
Server package has been updated. That should fix all of the frequents disconnects players have experienced.

Are you going to have donator ranks and stuff for donators?
-Weirdjunk
We actually have thought about it, we just don't know what to let people have.
We don't want to give any player and actual advantage (i.e. spawning diamond equipment) over other players.
Any ideas?

Troll, please get out. It's civilized PvP - no sense in destroying something if you don't gain from it.

Uhm, maybe a cool tag or something like "Donator".... Or nothing at all, just donate to support the server.

Um, the server is down. even the temp maps. it just says "outdated server" when i try to log in...?
The server isn't down right now. It said outdated server because Notch updated the client so Fool had to update the server.
well i got on to the server but after aa while there were some really bad lag spikes. there were huge splits in the world and it took like 5 minutes to open a chest

Sorry about the apps piling up. I didn't check them because I didn't think there was a need (Since the normal server + Hmod aren't up yet), but you guys probably want to see if you were accepted or not.
Well, good news! Everyone in the last batch was accepted, welcome aboard :wink.gif:
By the way, just since the temp server is up at the moment does NOT mean there are no rules!
I have already banned 2 people for burning forests! I've kicked more for language and spawnkilling!
If you break the rules on the temp server, you WILL be banned and taken off the whitelist for the normal server!
Anyways, I'm glad most of players on the server are getting along and having fun :biggrin.gif:
It's nice to see a server that can actually function without Hmod, let's keep it that way.
Instead of throwing the regular server right away I decided to do some testing.
I'm glad I did, because there were a few broken pieces on some mods.
All except one is fixed (Cuboid), but it is non-critical and the protection function of cuboid still works.
Therefore, the server is now online. Have fun and Merry Christmas!
Also, I am going to use the same procedure as before - I will run it until I go to sleep for a couple of nights.
This is because our whitelisted population nearly doubled thanks to our successful "temp server" run while Hmod was down.
I have a strong feeling that rules are going to be broken and such, so I want to keep a personal eye on things.
After that it will go back to 24/7 :biggrin.gif:
Server's up again. A bit later than I wanted but it's all good, right? RIGHT? D:
Working on a surprise for this afternoon. It may or may not work, but in any case there'll be more features with less lag.
Downloads section has been added on the site. If anyone wants a copy of the current or previous worlds, let me know and I'll post it. You can also find our pumpkin picture on there :biggrin.gif:

That way you can try it out, and also check out all of the Beta glitches :biggrin.gif:
At least Notch fixed most of the performance issues. Hope to see you there.
Keep in mind you must apply if you want to get into the PvP server when it reverts back to the main PvP map.
It will return to the normal PvP map once I am able to control areas towns again.
Please be patient, and post here if you experience any problems - especially with other players.
No whitelist until we go back to the normal map.

Aye it's because people were burning stuff >.<
It's fixed now.

Eh, it seems a couple of the plugins keep killing players randomly. They've been disabled.
We are running 24/7 again, last night went well (no griefers!) :biggrin.gif:
