*** Official OcUK Minecraft Server - Discussion and Rules ***

Connection problems seem to be completely random as far as I can tell. One day I can suffer from the same problem as you, with everyone else being fine and then the next it will be someone else's turn and I'll be fine... :/
 
It's just bad internet connections for the most part. It's like trying to play CS1.6 while your brother is downloading a torrent or your sister is watching youtube videos - whether you have 1mb or some over crowded traffic shaped 50mb pipe, it doesn't work :P

I'm not entirely convinced it's just a crowded or poor connection from my house considering the times that it has affected me and the fact that other games will connect and behave perfectly and downloads will be unaffected at the same times.

A lot of factors have to be taken into account just because one game works great dont mean another does. Each game will take different routs to the games server.

99% of bad latancy/ping are related to packet loss due to the rout conecctions take. A good way to sometime (not always) is do tracerts and reboot yer rooter a fair few times until you connect via a dif rout. Also tracerts will tell you if you are getting packet loss or timeouts.

tbh so much has been postponed until 1.9 this update is not as big as they have lead us to believe. Biome code is not finished, no npcs, no boss mobs, farming is not finished and exp system is not finished. Notch has promised so much for mincreaft but with all the new additions he really needs to get more coders working on the game launch is just around the corner and they are way behind schedule.

If the the food bar is empty in MC 1.8, it will slowly drop your health to 5 hearts on easy, to 0.5 hearts on normal, and kill you on hard
 
Notch and Jeb(?) are aiming for a thursday release for 1.8.

But they're slow as bloody treacle at doing ANYTHING.

We'll have to wait for 1.9 for the meaty stuff probably.
 
If it looks like plugins/bukkit will be a while I may run a vanilla server for a bit and then import the map to be used as per our previous discussions /re maps... hm..

Looks like we are all learning a lot about game development :D Most studios end up in the same situation hence why there is so much "cut" content or dlc packs soon after launch.

1.8 looks interesting I'm still disappointed in some stuff moving to 1.9 but hey new Minecraft, what is there not to love?! This is probably the biggest update since the nether at least!

Lack of /lb is a worry, yeah. Though without bukkit nobody will be /tp'ing anyhow :)

I don't think there is much at all in vanilla, I think "ops" can still kick ban etc so we can get rid of trouble makers :p. Also I'm guessing this will run in tandem with the current server, until bukkit is updated?
