Dear notch, I started using computers in the 60's and as such I'm much more comfortable running programs written in languages that existed at that time, FORTRAN would be ideal, but I understand if you feel you need to use LISP or COBOL; I'm not that picky. I still run redhat 3 on an old macbook from before they swapped over to i386. As such, it's getting increasingly hard to find updates to things like flash and java.
Yes, the game is more fun now. But how does having a mob take your blocks away give fun?
How am I lazy for wanting to build some structures and not have them wrecked by Endermen?
It's fun for me because they have not taken any of my blocks yet. So far my defenses are working. Defenses that I made a while ago but was sad to find I didn't need them. Satisfaction of a job well done (alien concept these days I know). My SMP structures on the other hand, they have no defenses so that'll be interesting. Will have to rethink that.
Besides if you want to make a 'real' world type structure just play creative. As for laziness, well, given the time frame you've immediately complained instead of trying other methods. Maybe YOU aren't lazy, but I am certain the majority of the complainers are. They want their cake, now, made for them, now. Want want want.
Either way it is to soon to tell. Hasn't even been out 48 hrs, perhaps the taking of player placed blocks is a bug. Maybe structures made previous to the update aren't considered. Instead of waiting and/or confirming it's complain, complain. I find it amusing that so soon it's waahh waahh, rage, rant I want it MY way. Cry.
Perhaps I was harsh but it's that attitude that is dumbing down games these days and making them stale. Whatever, my Minecraft is down atm, later I plan on a new map to see if basic defenses work there. If they don't, you still won't see me bitching. Make a mod if it bothers you so much.
Good. Buncha lazy self entitled kids whining. Build defensible structures. A little lava and cactus go a long way. I'm surprised at all the super awesome smart builders so easily defeated. The game is much more fun now. Not as boring.

So, if i understand the news post on the homepage right we will be beginning on a new map! (the old map will be up in the future after it gets fixed)
Im actually really looking forward to starting all over! And I also have a suggestion.
How about we all start building a small town at the spawn to get started and gather resources to venture further into the map? This way we end up with a nice spawn town and are able to make a good start without littering too much.
No build rules, so there's no limitation to mines under your houses. Although I'd like to keep it medieval style.
So who's in?
I'm in, however I cannot predict when I will be on. Work is odd atm. I'll help gather resources and add to the awesomeness.
Unfortunate news to those on the original map. I didn't see it all, but what I did see was very, very nice. Kudos to Heif for preserving that and working on it in the future.

Why us?: You don't seem to cater to whiners, the server looked nice with practical roads and the building were decent. Not ugly monstrosities. A big draw is you don't seem to limit blocks. Which means you must have decent players. I like using fire and lava and it sucks that a lot of servers don't allow it and for good reason. No warps, kits or other hand holding. The way SMP should be!
Building experience: Mostly SP and no big projects on any servers. Don't want to start anything big until I find a community I like and a server worth building on. I like supplying materials gathered from exploring.
What do you like to make: I like to accentuate the existing landscape. Turn caves into expansive dwarven style halls. Turn cliffs that look like arches into arches. Roads and public safeholes for when mobs are enabled as well.
Past Servers: Western Survival which went down viewtopic.php?f=1014&t=55647&start=90 which is very too bad. I liked it there, was looking forward to joining everyones creations by road but, not to be.
and AGMC(Aperture Games) which is ok, a lot of whining. Not sure if I like the overall attitude but it may just be my timezone or what not. Undecided atm.
Other info about you: Cooperative, quiet. I like exploring and doing the hall thing. A nerd, I play games. Little old fashioned and often do things the hard way.
There are a few others with similar problems playing offline. Myself included. Your error report is similar to mine but I'm not computer savvy so...
It sucks because I cannot play on SMP servers :sad.gif: . Hopefully someone will help you out. Thing is I had it running perfect a few days before a format. My uneducated hunch is something to do with the registry. Oh well, online SP for now.
I have a similar problem. Seems like a few people are. Lot's of unanswered topics though. I have no help for you other than I'm watching this thread. I need to go take a computer course or 10. GL
Oh these people are real gems. Just think of the sheer time and dedication to such a extensive troll. Found them a year ago. Was flabbergasted. We really shouldn't talk about them here. Let them do their work in peace.

Well done sir.

You don't actually play EvE do you?
Anyways, why? There may be a toggle to PvP and if it's on, well get some friends if you are scared. If it's off then, meh.
