Same here, i used to play this game a lot. But it one of those games where once you have done your build there is not much else to do, However the admins used to do team event's like defend the castle ect.. to bring you back that was hell of a lot of fun not sure if they do that anymore. It's a game that will bring you back however i haven't played this since over year ago.

I don't think there are any admins around with the time/energy to run events any more.
If we can get a decent playerbase I may select some new admins to run that side of things/the servers.

events are planned but right now stability of the servers are the main thing.
one of the event type was to put in player maps from the likes of highpixel
and have this change each week so admins dont have to run the events it can be done by players anytime they want a break from building.
this is still a planed idea but put on hold because of recent issues

Good application for vanilla admin hegemon 
Seriously though, I've always felt I haven't experienced the full potential of a server. I've mentioned these kind of aspects before but it only takes a few people wanting something to get it unfortunately.
As you mention with no teleport/maps people are encouraged to work together, build trade/travel routes (I want to see those rail builders again) and build an organic community, and it's something that will keep improving. As new people enter the game they'll have to learn their surroundings and find their place.

Im getting server out of date :/

i have to agree with the default difficulty for any vanilla server being higher than easy for sure.
The problem i always find is that there servers are active for the first week or so then people drop off till its basically like playing single player minecraft again.
Dont get me wrong im one of those people who likes to run miles away from spawn and do a build of my own imagination but it would be nice to have that "survival" element to survival mode by having the initial difficulty set high for damage from mobs etc. Will make players at least be a bit more careful on that first night till they get their dirt huts built
BTW ive been so bored lately that ive been rebuilding my Winterhold build in single player survival mode lol so im ready for a new reason to log into minecraft

I've no desire to be an admin, I've been there before and it took away too much from my enjoyment of the game. The best admins in the past were Tefal, Zumii and Maxi, it would be nice if they had the time to reprise their roles.
Glad you like some of the ideas, I just wanted to share some of my views on vanilla servers.

Nutty i have restored the region file to the 14th at 8am in the morning
this has brought back almost everything. i say almost as i cant recover to after that time so anything you did after is lost.
I am however happy to help you replace and rebuild what ever is now missing

Grr, I keep getting connection time out errors. Can only connect for a few seconds before it drops out. Anyone got any ideas?
Would be up for playing some Vanilla. Vanilla is almost too complicated for me haha let alone the mods! Miss the old days.
This is what's stopping me playing again. I remember the very first server where about 30 of us were all helping to build the Parthenon. Was great fun.
No worries, we all have our ups and downs, get well soon. I've not played a huge amount myself been mostly securing the spawn area for others
If Maxi is reading this there is a few server settings you need to correct, everything is at default resulting in an 33x33 area at spawn we cannot work on.
In the server.properties file:
spawn-protection=0
pvp=false
difficulty=3 <-- optional
Thanks
Soldato
When is the Vanilla due to start then?
