You can upload your own Midi's can't you? watch a vid where there was a group doing a trio, it was funny and amazing.

Think he was talking about the ingame music rather than the instruments.

Though yeah, there are sites for downloading the abc files that the instruments need so you can play loads of stuff in game. Saw a video the other day of Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life with 4 people stood on crosses in a desert planet

Haha, I'll have to convince some of my buddies to grab the game, it does look fun.

I guess this is how you do it

I'm not sure what it will be like in release but with hundreds of planets and stuff I wish there would be those rare planets, ones that you randomly stumble across that yield something super rare, or a chance of something super rare.

Still early days, you'll never know

Still on a level 1 planet with copper armour and a load of silver bars. How can I upgrade the armour? Also the same with weapons, I have crafted some weapons (such as broadsword), but no option appeared for me to upgrade it to a silver one. Is it a stepping procedure (eg. copper > iron > ? > silver > gold)?

Copper>Iron, First Boss, Mk 2 Starmap Upgrade, Silver>Steel. So on.

Took me 2 hours to get to Platinum pick and iron armour after upgrade

FrenchTart server needs a restart, it's lagging so hard that I'm being chased across the planet by resources I've just mined

I can't get to it right now. Could you try messaging maxi?

Must admit this is boring me now.

Since the revamp, all the planets being the same level in any given sector, there's a real lack of variety now. It also doesn't make sense anymore to display the planet's level as they're all the same...

Overall, at this stage, Terraria is the better game...

I've had a quick poke around on the server and the lag seems fine. Poke me on Steam if it gets bad again but I'm semi afk (steam id in the sig).

Beta testing is a hard job but some ones got to do it.

It's early beta. We didn't see Terraria when it was at this stage in development. I also don't find it super engaging right now but I most likely will come back when all the interesting content has been added.

Glad to hear it's okay. Cheers for checking up on it.

There was still a bit of lag but nowhere near as bad as it was. At the time hardly anyone could play and boss fighting was bad. I ended up being killed by the dragon boss as it was lagging all over the place lol. Ever seen a character running across the planet with 50 stacks of wood floating in mid air chasing you?

Last I played was at 11.30pm ish and the enemies falling or being hit isn't as smooth as it is on SP. However that was about it

Out of interest, did you check the player count? I sometimes wonder if the lag isn't so much the server needing a restart as it simply having too many players on at once.

Not sure, at the time when it was really bad and I mean really bad, only 4 people responded. You could run right and the server was playing catch up with it still generating terrain, or tons of money pixels spinning around and around your character

Didn't seem that many tbh, just people calling for a server restart

p.s That Dragon will die!
