Question about the deathbans. I think I recall reading that they're based on IP. My roommates and I are debating everyone joining for one reason; if one of us gets killed, wouldn't everyone behind our modem be deathbanned as well?

Lol, who wants to be hardcore survival deathban secretary? I'm hiring and paying 1 cobblestone per week!

I'll do it for one cobblestone per month! I'd make an outsourcing joke here, but it's late and I'm too tired to be clever.

When I move the server back to our main machine tonight, I'll increase the player cap by another 4-5 players so that'll help some. Hopefully we get a few contributions towards upgrading the server as I plan on making the purchase this coming weekend. I will go for a 50-100 capacity system.

Thanks and goodluck!

Quick question; does the $10 donation get a reserved slot, or is that only the extra life?

A. Player Name? skelbley
B. Why do you want to join? I've been looking for a "hardcore survival" server. All the others make it too easy for people and remove the challenge. If the server works out for me, I'll definitely send a donation your way.
C. Will you survive your first night? Provided I don't login for the first time at night, I should.
D. What's your least favorite way to die? Creepers. Those b*stards.

HonestFlames: Thanks for the advice! I actually haven't been setting the flags for memory allocation, just been leaving those at default as well. Just curious, what is the Java default setting for RAM usage? Does it default to 1024 or will it keep going as far as it can?

Also, I'm going to try swapping in one of our older incremental backups tonight to see if using an older map file gets rid of the constant exceptions when running it via command-line.

Thanks for the quick replies. I presently have the default number of player slots, I don't remember what that number is though. Another quick note, when running the .jar with the -nogui flag, the command prompt fills up with stack traces. I can go post the error when I get back to my server tonight if it'd help (I literally only had a second to look at it this morning). And actually, now that I think about it, that could explain the problem right there. I'm not as big into Java as many, but if the stack was getting bombarded that would explain the ridiculous (gradual) memory footprint expansion, right?

...is this world file likely hosed?

Hopefully this is something simple to answer:

I've just started having an issue with my private server. Upon launch, Java is holding about 250MB of memory (according to task manager and process explorer). The longer the server runs, the higher that goes; it hit 1.6GB last night before I restarted the server. As well, it's constantly using about 10-25% of the CPU. Note: This has all been with absolutely ZERO players connected. I have an i5 750 and 4GB of DDR3, so this kind of seems ridiculous. It didn't used to be like this; could it be an issue with the world files? I'm running the server absolutely vanilla, no plugins/mods/etc. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, I'd definitely be interested in this. It'd be fun to start from the ground-up :-p

Dear God, all I want is the ability to hold backspace down. That's all I want for Christmas, really. Please can we have this, ?

Getting the same issue all of a sudden; goes black after the login screen. Was there an update to the client today?
