[QUOTE=Drakortha;37325906]Hey guys. Just a heads up, the server might be going private again sometime this month. Nothing is definite right now but a lot of the admins would like to take a break from running the server publicly. As you can imagine the server has taken a great deal of our time during the Age of Darkness. If this happens it doesn't mean it will be private forever. The Age of Gods II and also the Age of Ancients were times when the server was closed. It's actually a good way of taking a break and letting players build up the world and enjoy the peace for a while, then eventually letting the public in (like the Age of Darkness) and having a running theme and encourage pvp. It's been a good way for us to keep things fresh.
Having to enforce rules and dealing with PVP drama all the time takes its toll and makes the server a bit monotonous after a while. I don't really get a chance to play the game myself even when I've vanished because players have their way of seeing if I'm online. Also, I need to check spawn constantly and keep the rules up to date so I don't get the time to play. I think a lot of servers out there suffer from this and taking breaks every few months has been our way to keep things interesting for so long.[/QUOTE]
So does this mean admins and extremely old players only?
If you let members of the really big factions stay too that would be cool.

[QUOTE=killkill85;37326054]But we'll be a peaceful faction

I'm actually tunisian but whatever
My idea isn't really a big thing,more just quite alot of humble little houses[/QUOTE]
I'll gladly donate some materials if you need them, although I'm already a co-leader in a large faction.
who all is going to be allowed on it if it goes 'private'?
We litterally just started expanding roads and buildings around our area to make it more town-like, and would like to finish our few large projects. We also don't PvP or cause a lot of drama between other factions/players and keep to ourselves for the most part.
When the server went private last time all you had to do was apply for the whitelist via the forums or have someone already on the server vouch for you. It will probably be the same thing...

Well probably not. We'd really like to do away with the rules for a while and having to log in every day to moderate.
Maybe it was too soon for me to have told you guys but then again it's good to have some notice before it happens.

I don't want to discourage you from continuing. If the server goes private for a while your builds aren't going anywhere as we like to keep our map. So even if you aren't whitelisted when you come back everything should still be there.

I really don't know at this point. It will probably be players who I trust won't cause problems.
the server is increadibly laggy right now, i cant even clear this tree
btw i finaly made it to a new chunk, unfortunatly its a tiny 50x50 island and my boat drifted away D:
just for reference, its 5500 blocks away from 0,0
just hit the border of the map, cannot go further, and its still fuckin ocean
Yeah a fuckton of the 1.3 area is ocean, I spent like an hour boating my way to actual land, and it was boring and I couldn't find a single village or area of interest with the exception of a single well in the middle of nowhere.
Also swamp biomes are amazing for finding clay.
something is fucked up, because mining isnt yeilding any actual blocks
but i was able to clear a small fort in the ocean
My buddy and I live in one of the new areas, we built our base on top of the largest jungle tree we could find. Today when we were traveling back from getting some sand, we realized it looks like a giant space ship. So if you see the place, we're friendly!
Server could use a restart, laggy as all fuck right now.
edit: Thanks.

I had the same problem. I went about 3000 blocks in a straight line and didn't hit anything besides some tiny islands with nothing on them.
Is everyone liking the digging zombies?
[QUOTE=Drakortha;37341105]Is everyone liking the digging zombies?[/QUOTE]
I have yet to encounter any. :v:
Digging zombies are the single most dangerous thing. They have plenty of time to build up, and once they find you BAM! Cramped underground death trap.
Or, to put it another way
I love them. Alot of fun.
[QUOTE=Drakortha;37341105]Is everyone liking the digging zombies?[/QUOTE]
Yes, they are terrifyingly awesome. After escaping a cave that I almost died in, they still didn't give up, they followed me back up to the surface where they burned to death.

So I went to /spawn today....and it was the old spawn from February 2012....NOSTALGIA GALORE FOR THE OLD PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So are the portals back or is there a glitch or something? lol it still has the old signs :) BTW I am loving the tunneler zombies,I love them so much I found a good tactic to fight them.
found a rather sizable island, with a small shole. still shittons of ocean, but its part of a chain of islands
possibly new hawii
Servers down?
[QUOTE=Shirky;37342468]Servers down?[/QUOTE]
Up for me :S
[QUOTE=darksoul69;37342596]Up for me :S[/QUOTE]
Is it updated to 1.3.2?
The server will be down for the next couple hours while I do a full backup of the server files to my HDD. I'm also going to attempt to generate a new world map png.
new map will be great, then i can find out where the hell i am
Server is back online :smile:

Almost done working on that map render. I think you guys will really like this.
I certainly will.
[editline]21st August 2012[/editline]
Did you edit the map boundary? Now my base is 250m beyond the border...
[QUOTE=rnate;37350639]I certainly will.

We might be shrinking the map down again and implementing the 1.3 chunks a different way. Sorry mate. If you want, I can worldedit your base and move it within the new border.
[editline]22nd August 2012[/editline]
Updated world map!

It's okay, it is your server after all. I would appreciate you moving our base, though. Loving the map too, our awesome tree house is located around 5300,500.

Thanks, I'll let you know when I've moved it to a different jungle.
Turtleton is so small on the map :( Oh well atleast we know where some other cities are so we can connect the road to them :v:
damn, i am staring at a fresh 1.3 desert temple, but its like 2 1/2 chunks away over the edge
Why are the Ironhammer gates closed?
[editline]22nd August 2012[/editline]
