OcUK Minecraft Server - Rules & Chat

it's cheating because nobody has managed 200 players at once. as far as i can see, the most players on a minecraft server at once was around 130. That is many many times less than any MMOG. Minecraft will have to support thousands on a server at once before it can be considered an MMOG.

I was thinking about the size of the world and the fact it is persistant and if the server was empty, it would continue to carry on.

that's fine, but that's only half of what makes a game massively-multiplayer.
 
your not understanding my point.

Who is to say that the amount of players on a server at one given time determines whether it is massively multiplayer or the size and nature of the world?? Also I am going to use the most loved saying with Minecraft fans..It's till beta remember lol

I think this could go on forever as it can be down to how the individual would see it to be fair. So for this reason I am out of this convo lol :P

isn't that obvious? is a game massively multiplayer if only 5 people can play on any one server? would you seriously consider that to be anywhere near the scale of say, anarchy online, let alone wow ? It clearly isn't, and neither is 10, or 100. Thousands is where i would put it, and that's where other people put it. I would assume that if minecraft was mmo, then it would be advertised as such. I understand what you are saying but you are focusing on the persistent world part of it. that's only half of it, as i explained.

doesnt matter what minecraft is at the end of the day, but what it isnt right now is an MMOG

it obviously isn't obvious, otherwise we wouldn't be having this convo mate :)

You say I'm focused on the persistent world part of it, I could play devil's advocate and say that your focused on the amount of players on it at one time :P

In MY opinion, a game world that is played by a lot of people (whether its at the same time or not) is massively played. Referring back to MC, Yogscast servers for example, I'll bet there are a few thousand people who play those servers.

I know you don't mean to, but your coming across as your opinion is the 100% correct one as you are 'explaining' it to me. Again, my point is that there are NO concrete rules for which a game is defined an MMO, so for conflicting opinions such as ours, there is no right answer.

So I say that right now it is an MMO :P
 
Which texture pack can I get that maintains the original look and textures, but makes them a much higher resolution without the pixelated appearance?

Theres too many and I cant find the right one, I dont want to alter anything, just want it to look better.
 
They used the terminology MOOR which does stand for Massively Open Online Racing, which pretty much translate to MMO with a big map with cars. Crazy Atari/Eden marketing right there! :p
 
Wizardskills!!! It has been a while :) How have you been?

Yeah, I've been following the progress of the server for a while but I hadn't realise how much they have actually done and all by hand, it's crazy!

I'm good thanks. Haven't played minecraft in ages, what server is all the old crew playing on now?

We all play on here, Tefal and myself are admins and helping Frenchtart run the server who took over from Radyr who took over from Garsands :p

Few of the old bunch still play but there is plenty of fresh blood too, hopefully you will pop on at some point ;)

I think this server is staying away from mods that require client side mods too.

However if you check the unofficial server thread, Oxygene is putting the plane mod on theirs as soon as it's fixed :)
Apparently they had it on there and you could craft the planes, but when you got in them it the clients crashed. Fingers crossed it will be fixed soon though as it's such a great mod that doesnt change the gameplay.

Yeah, that totally sucks. I've kept my planes and parts in a chest, but keep forgetting and opening the chest = MC Crash.

Have you tried the planes in single player yet? Good food :)
 
Yeah I played it the instant I saw the Yogscast mess around with them. Fantastic for travel which is something that seriously sucks with SMP.

I really like the runways you guys have made too. They look so accurate. Especially the landing lights!
 
Aye, Davey is a bit of a plane buff, so he made it to spec - going to look awesome when finished but I think a bit more paving needs done.

For my runway I'm making an Aircraft carrier :) should be cool once finished.
