    Is this a game you can play off and on? I need something I can pick up and put down easily.

    Ok so we all know the put down is a bit difficult but could it technically be something you could put down and come back to?

    It's definitely a game you can pick up and put down easily. Going in, set your mindset to "oldschool" and give it a half hour or so. It grows on you once you begin to grasp the scope.

    I'd say resist the op-tools if possible, at least until you have started crafting stuff with diamonds on your own. A good part of the charm is working to get the resources to build your dream recipes.

    Agreed! Though I've built a lot of stuff using ops mode, I'm certainly planning to strip ops from myself for a more fun exploring / self sufficient experience.

    I tried giving myself diamond armor/weapons just to see what a difference it made... and the answer was - A LOT.

    I'm going to discard that stuff and start from scratch. One item that has made a lot of difference for me is the bow (and arrows.) The ability to pick off mobs at a distance from my castle walls has increased my joy eleven-fold.

    Well, my 2 hour delay has turned into an official snow day!!! I'll be on all day until ~7 when it's time to go racing. And the server should be up and running with no problems going forward. So far it's been extremely stable.


    BTW - Squid, during the migration the ops list got deleted. All things considered, I've kept you off the new one. Just let us know if you need anything and/or want ops control in case you get in a jam. Same for Palooka.

    BTW - I loaded up this texture map and it looks great! From what I hear though, these could cause problems when the minecrack software is updated so proceed at your own risk.

    Ya, it should be. As Azmo said, it's basically lego's meets surviver. And if you just want to play with the lego's side, we can add you to the ops list which makes survival a whole lot easier.
