There is only two reasons why a game like minecraft would slow down your computer...

1) Your computer is extremely old.

2) The game needs to be optimized.

Unless you know something about programing, don't make assumptions. More features does not equal more lag. The performance of the game will obviously be improved, give it time, the game is still in beta.

For one simple reason, you're a fan of Notch.

Not liking the idea of skills so much.

However, as for getting lost in other places, there isn't really much of an excuse. Every standard land animal will drop some kind of food which you can eat.

Ever got lost in a cave? Because I have plenty of times. Hunger system is definitely a cool idea, but it seems Notch went about it wrong.

And why shouldn't it?


it's a survival game. A good survival game needs realism. If you were to not eat for several weeks straight, you wouldn't stop starving once you reached the edge of dieing. You would starve until you died.




However, I feel that starving to death should have a different death animation. Something more gradual, that starts to onset once your hunger goes below 20%

Well for starters, I've actually played a few survival games. Wurm Online is one, Xsyon is another. Both have amazing hunger system and none killed you if you were starving. Most likely the reasons why...

-> Away From Keyboard
- Players will be forced to disconnect from servers when going AFK.
- Only way to make AFKing possible is to disable hunger which isn't fair.
- Spawning areas will be overwhelmed with AFKers in SMP.
- AFKers will continuously die, making some bukkit plugins problematic.

This system will basically penalize us for paying attention to the real world. The idea is to make the game more difficult rather than frustrating. Therefore dropping your health to half a heart will be a perfect way to weaken AFK players without annoying them. It's not their fault that they had to go AFK.

-> Traveling
- If you manage to get lost and run out of food, dying from purely starvation would be a pretty harsh penalty.
- Players will be greatly limited on their travel distance, so much for the new adventure update.

Trust me, I favor survival, but the whole part of dying from it is a little extreme. Food would probably be the most valuable thing in the game. Notch should of made hunger slow down your attack speed and movement speed, like in Wurm Online and Xsyon.

Starving should leave you to half a heart, but it shouldn't kill you.

Wave survival? I really don't think Notch is going for that. If so, it's going to be it's own mode. Survival is most likely going to be something like Wurm Online if anything.

Think of it like this, would you want to recreate your world once or twice in a row? Because that's how it's going to be...

- Pressure plates can be placed on fences. (Good for tables.)

Probably going to be the worst part of this update. It's a "pressure plate", why would it go on a fence? Also, fence + pressure plate = 2 blocks of space, making it a very poor table since nothing can be placed directly ontop of it. Better off using an activated piston. It looks like an actual table when it's activated and cakes can actually be placed on it. Or better yet, why not just give us a table? Having fences be placed ontop of each other were understandable, but not this...

I like this idea, especially when it comes to survival. If you don't want to be limited, play creative mode. I always feel like if I don't build big structures, that I will be inferior to others. All this does is waste space that no one will be present in besides myself.

Take a look at the features of claiming land in Xsyon is. It's the best I've ever seen.

I didn't see any animal farming. Didn't notice any animal breeding. I've also seen that crops are still being hydrated by having water near them. Was really hoping for an update that would improve the agriculture in the game. I would be really disappointed if these features wouldn't be improved or implemented with this newest patch.

Agriculture is the only thing that would make survival fun and an actual game.

RP example -
* Zack begins scavenging through the rubbish.
Thomas: You there, what do you think you're doing!
* Zack takes out and raises up his knife.
Zack: I'm not looking for trouble, allow me to leave peacefully.
* Thomas bares in mind his children.
Thomas: Don't come back stranger, that face will be remembered.
Zack: No worries.
* Smiles and backs away slowly.
Biography [About a paragraph or 2] - Zack is a natural leader and hopes for renewal. Survival is a game for him, at least that's how he pictures it so he doesn't resort to insanity. He's in good faith, but he will do what he must to survive. He has skilled in construction and working with tools. Zack's mind is also wise enough to formulate his own religion, even if it's purely to just enlighten another's spirit.

Looking for a rp server that has...

- IC & OCC chat
- No global chat
- PvP
- Self created factions or no factions
- A good theme
- No obnoxious signs that explain the game
- No obnoxiously large cities that are useless
- Intense roleplay where people have an actual background and story
- Land ownership to limit players from building excessively

If it has other stuff, I don't mind, however those are some specifics. So far every roleplaying server I been in was unprofessional and I really wouldn't call it a roleplay server. So please help me find a real roleplaying server. I'm someone that's coming from GTA roleplaying servers. Thanks.
