OcUK Minecraft Server - Rules & Chat

I think that a map restart would be a good idea.

Although we will lose our work, it offers a new oppurtunity to start again, and we can ensure that all the backup scripts etc work correctly and test them on the server before any real progress is made on a new map.
 
Cool. I'll download the latest version of the map, zip it up and upload it to you.

@Mp4 you need to register on linktart.co.uk and add your MC username to your profile on the site.

Aye that'd be grand! - I'm doing something so fundamentally wrong that I think it'd take someone else 20 seconds to sort out - I just can't see it myself. :)

Map restart - heck no! Immense amounts of work has gone into it, and there is always plenty of room for new folks creations. I'd rather stay on this one until there is no option but to restart.

On the one hand I'm not up for a new map because of the immense amount of work put in by myself and others - but on the other hand who knows what will happen between now and MC's final release. SMP is so buggy that we shouldn't get too attached to our efforts.

I think the thing to do is not go for a new map until we are absolutely forced to. If there's a way we can sort it out, we should. Otherwise it feels like a cop-out.

Thats a fair point but you cant have people spending 8 hours + trying to fix errors for it then to still error.

I spent 6 weeks on one build, three of us have lost every single block we made since day one, 100+ diamonds, 50+ of the new rare block, I cant expect another 8 hours to be spent trying to bring everything ive ever made back.

You can see the two big builds here:http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=18549524&postcount=3537
 
The server lagged out due tot he amount of errors the corruption has thrown up. The server log instantly doubled in size :/

I've restarted it now...
 
I think that if the overall feeling is that a map restart is good, then we need to plan it well like the last one- we should set up a similar spawn area with shops people can set up, with plots of land allocated around the area.

Things such as railways should be implemented earlier, to make things easier in regards to getting around and setting them up :)
 
Honestly I dont think we need to plan anything, let it take shape as it goes, jmiller and yaz did a great job making two towns much better then the current spawn a lot of us made, mine, andy and taziir's area was coming on nicely as well as were some others.
 
Why do we even need planning. No one really uses the current spawn and with the public home system anyone who sets up a town can just make his/her home location public so people can teleport there even when the creator isn't even on.

+1 it would feel like a much better community then a free for all!
 
Could just make a town at the spawn, have a few buildings that are community builds, a vault, a rail system as two examples, then just keep expanding with public plots :)

Then Tefal can walk half way round the world and start something :)

This.
People were all anal about building around spawn for ages, as soon as they moved away random buildings started appearing and nobody cared.
Obviously a small and safe area to spawn would be good but I don't think a huge area is needed again.

PS. I'm also up for a new map. :p
 
In the event of a restart I'd be overhauling the plugins, yeah. I really don't think it's the plugins that have caused our issues though - the crash seems to be where things have gone crazy :/
