As you may have heard, some parts of Queensland are a bit damp. Sadly, I live in Gladstone, one of the EXTREMELY damp places, and my house has been flooded. Luckily I’m in Noosa at the moment, after volunteering at a Roller Derby bout down here on Australia day, but I won’t be able to get home for a couple of days.
I’ll be waffling on facebook, for anyone that cares. But this does mean that D’s will be sporadically processed.
We’re starting to get ready for 1.5, and we’re concentrating most of our efforts on getting rid of lag. We’re going to be using a NEW minecraft server, called Spigot. It’s based on the ideas from CraftBukkit++, which we ran for a while and had good success with.
We’re also going to be doing some smarter load balancing, too, which means we’ll be able to run more worlds, and more realms. And yes. We may even bring in PVP. Maybe.
There is a map reset planned for 1.5.
So don’t say we didn’t warn you.
We seem to have MOST of the glitches out. The only thing that’s missing at the moment is Multiverse, so there’s not other worlds. That’ll be fixed shortly. But yay, real map!
(Update: Ignore that. Multiverse works. The only thing not working is Dynmap)
We’ve got everything else working, but there’s an ongoing issue in Bukkit where player files are becoming corrupt. This isn’t NORMALLY a bad thing, but it crashes the server when someone with a corrupt profile logs on, and the only way to fix it is to delete their inventory.
Yes. This is annoying, and we don’t think it’s worth having people lose their REAL inventory over. So we’re going to be sticking with this until the cause is found.
Sorry 8-\
