Title: How many of you would be interested in a minecraft server?

If there's enough interest, we can start an initial test and see if it effects performance at all and if it looks good we can have it as a permanent feature.

I totally don't get minecraft  :?

This annoys me because I'm usually ahead of the curve when it comes to addictive video games.

It's basically lego. It's fun to make stuff, there's a slight survival aspect to it with the monsters. You can play it completely creatively with monsters off and the ability to move through objects and make really elaborate structures.
Or there's playing the survival game, mining for what you need, building small structures.

It is a game that only really comes alive when played with others because what's the point of making stuff if no one will ever see it but you?

A week ago, I would have said yes. My tablet was stolen and my kid has a video game addiction I'm addressing so neither of us will be playing for awhile.

Little Orange and Sam might be into it. Hell, I might even start playing if enough people did it.

Can you even fucking IMAGINE how funny Discordian Minecraft videos would be?

Feed the beast mod? I'm going to open up the server first and see how vanilla, no mods gets on, then If people want I'll put on creative and some mods.

I'm down either way. I just love me some Ender Storage and Thaumcraft.

Can I play from my phone? I think I tried once, but couldn't get the hang of it.

I'd love to play some mine craft with people that aren't out to just troll others.

I don't think so, the version of that is the pocket edition and if I recall correctly it didn't allow multiplayer but I'm not certain so give it a shot once the server is open.

That's why I was thinking this should be a good place to see if people are interested, I could post it on the facebook group but I think that would backfire completely.

Unless you plan on whitelisting it, the server will turn to shit within minutes should you list it publically. Assuming you plan on doing such anyway...

Protip:
Get bukkit and at least the grief prevention plugin and vanish-nopacket. Without at least these, ppening this to the public will be sheer anarchy...

Yeah I was going to go with white listing. I'm not too worried about grief prevention, I will automatically back up the world each night so if someone fucks something up I'll roll back.

Things are crazy at the moment but if I get a chance this evening I'll open the server and post a thread in OM as to how to connect.
