Minecraft, awesome one man game project

Yeah, I wish he would fix MP. I believe a ton of people play it on line, it is so much more fun but I think we've done about all there is to do right now. I can only build so many block structures without a purpose.

Should we even bother starting a new map if the most important MP aspects still aren't live? I'm with Kama - there needs to be a persistent danger to keep me interested... otherwise I'll burn out on this game in about 2 weeks, even with the update.

Not sure I want to start a new SP map either.

Portals apparently not working in SMP either. Apparently in SP each world loads independently (ie only the overworld is loaded until you go through portal, then it dumps that and loads The Slip), but in SMP of course both worlds would have to be loaded at the same time.

Says he'll add a switch when you start an SMP level so you can choose either hell OR the main world, but travelling between them looks like a no-no at this point.

Sounds like poor code planning.

It's been crashing a lot for me today, not sure if it is due to the server, or to the heavy load at minecraft.net, or what.

I wouldn't mind a new map just to clear up some of the glitchy stuff (the minecarts), the experimental stuff (the TNT holes all over the place that make it hard to walk around, random above-ground lava placement), the badly designed stuff (roads to nowhere), etc.

I wish we could just take the best parts and move that to a new map, because there is some good stuff in our map.

In general, maybe we should start building more collaboratively, because really that's about all multiplayer seems to have going for it right now.

James: I just got the update and can no longer connect to the server. Says I have an "outdated client".

[Timman_24]

Minecraft is down right now. He is probably updating the game to the new content.

Oh BTW, I absolutely love the Fuuian castle!

I saw the update files come in and got logged into minecraft, this error was after I tried connecting to the multiplayer server.

[Timman_24]

Ahh yup, update is active. James will need to update the server.
