Pretty much confirms there won't be another "official" release before mid-November (although 1.9pre4 is out now...not sure what the pre is anymore if they aren't gonna call the next version 1.9 though ;)).

Also I haven't been following too close, but it sounds like maybe there is going to be a new Ender area (like the nether) with a new portal type to get there, so James I hope you're preparing another upgrade soon. :p

And this would be why I have no problems exploring a bit in the nether. I stayed boxed in far too long back when we were waiting for biomes to come around, so I didn't want to stay boxed in while we wait for the new nether blocks to come around.

An update:
Got the new server mostly up and running. rsync'd everything over, and started up minecraft. The same process that consumes 30-40% of the CPU on the current system runs at about 4% CPU on the new one. :D
Also, I did a completely from scratch build of the map for the server. What took about 6-8 hours on the old system now takes 5 minutes. :D:D:D:D

In other news, my building is 99% done. I have 4 more floors of decorative flooring to do. At this point, I'm calling it "open" and anyone who wants to move in is free to claim a floor for themselves.
Only rules I have:
- Leave the stairs and water chute intact for others to use.
- Leave the outside walls of the building the same to keep the appearance consistent.

Pretty much anything else goes.

Awesome on all counts!

The good thing about the Sharky server used to be that we were such a small community you could trust everybody.

This has changed for me now, after the second time my rubble room has been vandalized and after I logged in to find ~60 iron and 19 diamonds missing from my house.

That's pretty retarded. It should be understood that stuff in someone's room is their stuff!

You should build a pit trap to capture this person.

I take it you haven't visited your room in a while?

Wonderful. Running to go fetch my body after a death and the server goes down.

::edit::
Ended up getting there in time after all!

Bit of a weird issue on the map with signs. This one that I put up doesn't show up as a marker on the map, though you can see its geometry on the landscape -

http://www.sharkyforums.com/images/i.../2011/10/2.png

And another one I made shows up just fine but I can't click it to see what it says.

...though on further inspection they only appear to have this problem in the new area I explored. The old signs are fine. This will probably just fix itself on the next update.

::edit::

Well hell, I didn't realize we weren't on the new server yet. Wouldn't have gone off exploring if I had.

New server should be live end of the week. Case arrives Thursday, then I need to find a time to get it installed in the DC.

Minecraft server will be down for most of today. Shutting it down to do the final rsync before cutover. I won't bring it back up until the new server is in place. Most likely late this afternoon EST.

Server is up.

Sorry - I've been out of the loop but does this mean we're starting a new map again?
10-28-2011, 09:17 AM
James

Nah, for now, same map. We were going to start a new one once the new release comes out. This should just mean the current map is a bit faster.

Will you still hate me forever if I continue exploring?

I MUST REACH THE END OF THIS WATER.

But it's your server so let me know if I'm killing it too much again.

For now you're OK. Just keep in mind your exploring has single handedly ballooned the map size from around 1.2GB to over 2GB in one day. ;)

Pssh. I got 2GB of storage as the prize in a cereal box the other day and threw it away. ;)

Haven't seen many people logging on lately. I know some are waiting for 1.9 to drop - we're not starting a new map then are we? My friends and I have been working pretty hard on the castle & that general area.

That is an awesome looking castle.

I'd like to know the "official" answer to this as well. I don't want to start on anything big right now if it's only going to last a few days.

(P.S. 1.0rc is supposed to be out today.)

It's up to people.
Doesn't seem like a lot of people are interested in a new map. I'm fine either way.
