now that SLI is back up and running on my computer (Windows 8.1 update could not recognize my second graphics card so i had to wait for a vBIOS update.) I will see how well MC runs now lol.

A few notes about the server:

 

I'm hoping there won't be a need for a reset again anytime soon. 1.7 kind of necessitated it with the terrain generation and biome changes.

 

If anything we'll add Bukkit and a handful of plug-ins once they're compatible with 1.7. Other than that the server is going to remain mostly vanilla, survival only. 

 

Keep on building and make it a truly epic Minecraft world! :)

Just curious, but could the first post be updated to show what is currently set up on the server?   It doesn't seem to reflect what is there much at all (not that I know much about switching game modes or such). But is there a survival and a creative world?

The First post is very outdated now, we have reset twice since it was written. (due to new biomes) We used to have Survival & Creative but it required more plugins and slower to upgrade to new MC versions, We now have just one world that is survival only :)

Chasethebase was in favour of splitting the thread, if we go with that I think not from when 1.7 was released, instead after my little accident. :shiftyninja:

 

Maybe for now just update server version from 1.4.7 to 1.7.1 and strike through any lines referring to creative :)

 

oh and remove the port number from the live map url! (It's not up atm but when it is, it was changed to just mc.neowin.net a long time ago)

Crisp had a good idea on the server: Post a brief article about the MC server on the front page to attract new players. Ideally with screenshots showing off what has been built already. Thoughts?

timan was going to do that ages ago i think. I provided pictures for it.

Nothing ever happened though.

 

I think it is a good idea, although i think you'll see a lot more one post wonders asking to be white listed.

We're still going to be careful who can come on and who not. 

 

At the moment there are 40 whitelisted players, 33 of which have been on the server. Not too bad a player base for a start I reckon. Also there are usually some players on now, unlike before the reset...

I am still surprised we have not decided to use a web portal to handle the Whitelist requests as well as to display some information about the server itself.

Last night I collected enough eyes of ender from people to activate the End Portal, I have made a short pathway onto the land and a long path away from the island ready for the ender farm.

 

Some people are ready to fight the dragon now, but it should be an event for as many as possible to attend.

 

 

So when do we want to fight it?

 

I propose either later tonight or tomorrow night and on Hard :D

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
