Quote from qmaz246

I still don't understand how we are supposed to "invite" Others to our server. I get the server, and how it's now in a single player map. But not the connecting.

Quote from Redstoner_Pro

Just went and checked the stats.minecaft.net map, and it seems it cannot load... Either they are doing work on it, or is it proof positive of the extra load on the log in server.

Quote from The_Fool76

You don't need to port forward if you are on a LAN.
Or does no one do LAN parties anymore?

Quote from AncientMiner

Ah.. great news.. I love the direction they are taking..

Quote from russjr08

*cough whitelist *cough
*cough don't port forward cough*
*cough Firewall *cough

There are plenty of ways to prevent this,

Quote from Redstoner_Pro

Doesn't having the players to authenticate for their single player maps to the log in server put a much greater load on the log in server?

Quote from NocturnXLII

I'm surprised no one has said Mummies

Quote from J4Johnny

They need shields? And dual wielding for it?
