    FYI - I am scheduling a maintenance outage for tomorrow morning. With it, I'll be updating the permissions listings, adding a few new plugins including Big Brother (a nice anti-griefing tool), and most importantly getting the new router installed. I don't expect the outage to take much longer than it'll take to the install and configure the router, and I'll post here when things are completed.

    OK I'm ready to sign up for this game.

    Now the question is do I start as a single player or can I play with you more advanced types right off the bat?

    It's a building/survival game...you can join right in. Just pick a direction, march off until you're in a spot reasonably clear of other people's structures, and start building.

    You might want to play solo for an hour or so just to get a feel for the interface and the day/night cycle, but you don't really need to.

    Whoohoo!!!

    Ya, as Squidly said you can either jump right in or play a bit offline to get the hang of it. When you spawn, there are boats near (stored in a chest next to the water) by to help you find some open land. Or, you can just walk/swim as far as you want until you feel like stopping.

    Biggest suggestion I can offer though is to have the crafting wiki up and ready for referencing.

    Minecraft.net auth servers had a few hickups... And the server updates are staged, tested, and ready to go for the morning.

    Server maintenance is complete, and everything is back online. Release notes to follow shortly. Please let me know if you see anything not working as you expect.

    Umm, well no, not exactly... BUT with big brother, I'll be able to find out who dug into you're tunnel and easily undo it if need be.
