They updated to 1.0, so you don't need to backdate

I've been thinking about getting into minecraft for a while. A structured world like this really appeals to me. Adds a level of politics and trading that I think I would enjoy. Would this be a little overwhelming for someone new to minecraft? Or is it a pretty simple game to pick up, even with the pvp/politics/trading extras?

I think Spoutcraft has optifine by default.

Ah, I see. I guess I'll give it a whirl and see if it's improved by any chance, otherwise I'm afraid I will have to abstain until I can get a proper computer again.

Or just use OptiFine

[Myroc]

...I thought you said that was already included. I know the admins mentioned at several points earlier during the october applications that no mods of any kind were allowed, even Optifine. Looking up Spoutcraft I came to the conclusion that that's what N@W was using for it's own client/server mod, and thus would already have optifine by default. You mean it's now safe for me to download and install that without me getting in trouble for it`?

You're not supposed to be using it, but if you set inventory saving to 30 minutes, you should be ok

[nogoodnames]

This looks interesting, I might look into it once I'm done my finals.

I've already have someone making a referral app, I'm so happy~! More~! We need so much more~!

I have no intention of joining this, but I'm posting to watch so I can be notified of any interesting developments.

Hey guys, if you want to join the server but not engage in war, Hammersong's sister nation (The Wall) is essentially the Switzerland of the server now.

We're all neutral and shit.

To clarify the Spoutcraft thing:

Use the launcher. It comes with OptiFine included. Don't change the save interval.

The problem with OptiFine is that it would save your inventory every 3 minutes and send the packets to the server, essentially DDOSing it. I ran a bunch of tests and found that if you have it set to save every 30 minutes, it creates no problems for the server, as you're saving and sending packets half as often as the server saves.

Wow this sounds really cool, I had no idea this kind of thing was possible with Minecraft. What are the battles normally like? Is it just diamond plated peeps running at each other or are there objectives to be done?

[andrea]

they are working on implementing a minigame system, but at the moment it is "kill each other until one gets X points".

few people wear diamond armor however, iron is much more widespread I think.
and if you join hammersong, a diamond armor is the fastest way to die, from the hands of the empress. as she usually says, a diamond armor will very likely last much more than you will.

[PsyberianHusky]

Do we have enchanting now?

[andrea]

no. There will be shops selling enchants, but they aren't done yet.
meanwhile, you don't get to use enchanting tables.

[Heliman]

there are also worldswords, which are superenchanted swords out and about right now, but they haven't been distributed officially yet and they are very hush hush.
