The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - AllTheMods 9!!! - NEW Vanilla?

[Chevre]

Though I don't know if I was a regular user or not, I wouldn't really recommend a vanilla server, especially if it will consume considerable money/time for those hosting it. I guess the first reason is this sort of confrontation; maybe it's just natural but I also remember map-gate among other issues, such as when things got real wealth-gappy and it was weird to play simply when a bunch of other people had grandiose beacons and everything.

But the real reason I was going to suggest before I read the rest of the thread was that it just wasn't utilized. In it's final months, I worked on Port Chevre on and off, and there was rarely anyone on. I was disappointed that I really never got to share that with anyone. It's not that I wanted to be obsessively playing with everyone else, I just wanted a place where people could explore and find cool builds on their own or people could be like "hey, come look at this thing I made!" I remember when the server was dying whoever was in charge noted that like, very few people were even playing it at all.

Think about this: when the server was finally closed, we were more concerned with getting the maps rather than trying to revitalize the server itself. I think that's evidence enough, imo.

I hold no opinion on vanilla server coming back or not. Does t matter to me.

Im posting because i feel compelled to say it shouldnt take much time from m and i, and we're already paying for the server space anyway.

Although, from what i see so far, it seems to be a negative response to vanilla so..

[Maestro]

Yup. Aw well. Stay tuned for events and stuff.

Maru - very disappointed in you, bro.

Wow just realized in a couple weeks it will be 3 years since I started playing minecraft. Pretty good legs for a $20 game.

I haven't touched minecraft at all since like february. I think I could probably give it a try again. Is there *any* community server up and running right now?

I've given up on the dream of another vanilla server like we used to have when I started playing. If there are enough people interested I'd certainly give it a look but I'm done advocating for it. I just want to play on an active server, otherwise its not really worth playing.

There are 2 (sorta 3) modded servers at the moment:

Agrarian Skies:

This is an FTB modpack server, based on a "quested" Sky Block challenge map.

ScumCraft:

The main modded server which is currently being reworked, but the server itself is still available at the moment.

SP Lite:

This started out as a private pack to show a friend how to play, and it is very light on the mods. It is a

mostly

Vanilla experience, if you want it to be.

Information on joining the first two servers above can be found on the blog, and for SP Lite, come talk to me in IRC later tonight. I should be home around.. 6ish.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

The most active ones right now are AgSkies and SP lite, but all are connected to the same IRC channel so there is chatting going on most of the time.

[Osota]

I would jump on the vanilla server again if you brought a new one up. Still can't get Minecraft to work for the Mod server though.

[Maruchan]

Anyways, I just pre-paid for 6 months for a 6gig cloud, I can put 2 towards vanilla and start it up this weekend

[Maestro]

Maru, you always do this kindof thing: we asked and nobody's interested. You can let it go...
I don't go on IRC nowadays, for my own reasons. You can PM me with questions or get on ScumChat.

my scumday marks 2 years since I started playing

Kinda nostalgic to think about, really.

[My Milked Eek]

I've been playing for nearly 4 years now. Started playing a month or two before the first halloween update. I miss my old house =/

I bought it for another reason unrelated to ms. Just offering to let MS use some if those 3-4 that actually wanted it do want it

[fuzzybutternut]

ETL, ETA of 3.0?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

ETL, ETA of 3.0?

Hopefully this weekend! I had to work Saturday or I would have pushed to get it up this past weekend. I'm working on it, and we should do some testing/review of the mods. I'll put up a list sometime early this week (maybe this afternoon?)

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Oh also, is there any objection to taking down AgSkies? I am going to upload a copy of it to the blog but otherwise... I think everyone is done with it, right?

[fuzzybutternut]

I finished all my quests. I'm done with it.

[fuzzybutternut]

What is that server going to be used for after AgSkies is down? There are some new challenge maps coming out, if you guys are interested in it.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Nothing specific is planned.

the reason nilla is so boring is that we don't have a sense of community do we?

I propose we do what the mind crackers are doing. that is start out with a smallish world border and have it increase about 6 or 7 or 8 blocks a day. it compels teamwork and community. and more peeps would want to comeback to help in projects.

any thoughts?
