[Minecraft] Official TTLG server

Briareos H on 24/9/2010 at 15:46

Let's officialise things a little bit.

I host a Minecraft server on the domain swankybonitaknickers.net which has become the de facto official TTLG buildy-thingie. As edwardhugget put it in the general Minecraft thread, it "has a really good community spirit", some of the buildings there are admirable and for the time being, it's griefer-free (not MrDuck-free, though. Beware!). Simultaneous population reached a milestone of 10 a few days ago.

So, first of all, feel free to come visit us (PM for Address) and build your own designs or contribute to the existing almost-fully-functional alpine village. For the existing members, feel free to post your screenshots and stories in this thread. I figure we could leave the other thread for more general Minecraft-related discussion.

The server is a virtual dedicated machine 'boasting' a constant 5Mbps bandwidth, excellent availability and, thanks to some very special members' generosity in this thread*, a grand total of (soon to be) 1 280 MB RAM.

I'll be implementing a Google Maps-style Cartograph-style export, along with better backup and admin options, and maybe a webpage with real-time statistics. Expect more news soon.

ENOUGH TALK. LET'S GET TO YOUR PICKAXES (and screenshot keys).

*The great 2010 MINE-4-RAM fundraising drive harnessed, on 2010/09/25 00:30 GMT+1, a total amount of 185€, leading to a total of 176.17€ after PayPal took its share. Each 256MB share was 71,76€.

Probably about time for another bunch of screenshots.

Sorry for everything impressive that wasn't included (a ton of stuff), but the town is just spreading way too quick for me to keep up anymore. Also Dresden mentioned that he might make a video.

The Old Quarter.

Cheers for running this BH.

I don't know if I have any money coming in- if I do, next month, I'll toss a few bucks in.

There are a few quids from me weaving their way through the intertubes.

Thanks for the server!

Euros heading your way!

Mr.Duck on 24/9/2010 at 18:41

MrDuck is here to stay, and so is his genitalia.*

40 euros coming your way, son.

B-)

Hope this helps.

Can I have ops now?** :D

*Actually I'll just build the one penis and then go on for more normal buildings!

**I am in fact kidding ;)
