I'd like to suggest the idea of easing up Vincent and allowing teleport commands and other things. That way, Alice would continue to be 'hardcore', but Vincent would cater to seemingly a larger base of players who aren't really into hard core.

Thoughts?

We will be updating Alice when RedPower PR5b2 comes out, as b1 was pulled for being too buggy.

This update will also update the server to Minecraft 1.2.5, and RedPower will get a berth of new features (frames, computers, new logic gates, etc.)

IN SUMMARY, we have the following private game servers:
  • Killing Floor: adamite.sk89q.com
  • Digital Paint: Paintball 2: lazuli.sk89q.com
  • Team Fortress 2: sandra.sk89q.com
  • For Left 4 Dead 2, access it via our Steam group.
If you think one of those servers should be public, suggest it. Also, I'm looking for people that may be interested in helping run these servers.

Password for all is lazuli

Now we have a Left 4 Dead 2 server! I haven't tested it yet

To use it, use "sv_search_key skcraft" in the Left 4 Dead 2 console during lobby.

You may be able to connect to it directly if you are in our Steam group, but I forget how to do that.

There is a new island on Alice on which you can build a home. It's not too far off from either spawn nor the main island, and there will be bridges connecting the new island and the main island shortly.

It fixes the login and update issues.

Alice crashed again, this time seemingly to a new issue I haven't fully identified. I fixed the world auto-saver and now it should force a total world save every 10 minutes, and the server is back up.

  • New: Vincent has been updated to MC 1.2.5.
  • New: XP farms are no longer disabled on Vincent.
  • New: Both servers now have network tweaks to completely prevent block lag and reduce latency issues.
  • New: A New York mirror of the servers can now be accessed, which may provide substantial latency improvements for a small number of people (particularly Hawaiians). Access these mirrors by connecting to ny.na.vincent.sk89q.com:10000 and ny.na.alice.sk89q.com:10000 rather than the regular addresses. The need for port 10000 is temporary and the need will be removed in the near future.
  • Changed: The temporary addresses no longer work; use vincent.sk89q.com and alice.sk89q.com as normal.

I've been working on some changes to Minecraft that should drastically reduce the lag or perception of lag for those who are not geographically near the server. Coming soon next week! Tests so far have been extremely positive.

We figured out the problem and it should not occur again. All servers are up.

Ruh-ro! Currently we are experiencing some difficulties with the server configuration (though the server and host are fine) and so they may be down for a while until I can figure out the problem (Java spawning too many GC threads / raising the proc limit).
