Hmm, if we ever get the Nether region :cheeky: included maybe have BH's and Necival's server working in tandem?

I agree with Alch. One community, one server.

:)

The more the merrier whether BH or nec's. As long as it's on survival mode, plz.

Any hints? My moneys on "Creeper". Because every Minecraft story is about surprise creepers. Best enemy ever. I love the face on a creeper, because that's exactly the face you make when you turn around and see one. :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD
D:!

BH's server is back up. Looking for coal and waiting for the damn night to end since I joined at sunset.

Damn it. T hought survival was off because I was lonely. Then a few minutes later I hear a groan and I'm pushed into a lava field. Joining at night sucks ass.

Great! I already had loads of fun on Necival's server. I decided to go on a little mining expedition 'down south' (well, whatever is down on the map) to generate new terrain (Necival, at least I think it was, told me the metals yields would be higher on newly generated terrain). (What follows you can probably generally guess/skip if you've played this game.)

Two nights later (I'd made a temporary shelter on the way, near "The Museum of Impossible Things/Blocks" or something like that, do pay a visit if you're in the neighbourhood) I arrived at a huge cave entrance in the side of a hill. I dug a stairway in front of the cave and went straight down till I hit bedrock. Nine quatrillion stone pickaxes later and after a few close encounters with surprise lava (always a 'good sign' for diamonds apparently) and having gotten a little over 64 iron ore blocks, 50 something redstone, a few diamonds, and little gold and a lot of coal I decided to head back (was running out of picks & wood, still on near full health though), feeling lucky I got that without serious bodily harm and/or stumbling upon too many critters.

I was following the torches I'd left for breadcrumbs on my way back, and somehow I probably took a wrong turn somewhere, and ended up further than where I was. I got a hint when the forest I was walking through felt very unfamiliar (also, half a dozen creepers doing their creepy 'spot the careless minecrafter' dance). The creepers were quickly dispatched with the arrows I collected at zombe's awesome mob farm (btw thanks! :p). However, a few moments later I fell in the most perfectly concealed empty hill forest tile leading into a cavern, down to one and a half hearts. Realising I'd forgotten to bring food (I was going to be careful) and preferring not to go on a pig killing spree I suddenly realised I could craft a compass with the iron and redstone I'd collected. After digging myself inside the face of the cavern and crafting a furnace and compass I headed straight towards the needle, careful not to slip carelessly on the rocky terrain, but night was coming, so I made a little sandcastle. The following morning I removed a single sand block to check the position of the sun and all of a sudden a creeper rushed in, I panic-jumped out of the shelter and somehow survived the explosion. Down to half a heart I stuck to the water/ice as much as I could and a day trek later I made it back just in time. Dude, wow. And thus I learned the importance of navigation.
