[nb archive on expire] This week - New small dungeon added near Trade Tower (end of sky railway) in the heartbreak shrine Staff working on an intro book for new players Grim working on some stuff Jarmy2k returned after long absence and has founded a new town, roughly 300 blocks behind the heartbreak shrine Technomancer rank has nearly finished testing for donators. Sadly it has 4 bugs that we have to manually fix once for each tardis we assign: - permissions group.yml needs to be copied from main world
- permissions in user.yml needs to be changed to technomancer for the owner user
- the control room setting in the tardis config.yml needs to be fixed after the next server restart since spawning the tardis
- the /mvinv group command needs to be used to correct the inventory settings for the new tardis world to allow firstly carrying items from the main world to it, (ie fuel) and to secondly allow items in end chests used on frontier worlds to be available in end chests on the tardis. (this is the only way to move items to/from frontier worlds deliberately !)
All these things only need to be done once, but it makes the rank quite inconvenient. Movecraft sort of works, but requires further testing by a technomancer rank player to confirm. It only works on aircrafts now. Found some glitch in the dark fortress dungeon where secret doors are all jammed open. Not sure whats going on there, as the Heartbreak dungeon has working secret doors!? We are now catching players from drewbzz old ozblox domain and i updated the official minecraft server listing for our server to have a description. Subsequently player turnover may be higher. Lag seems to be holding steady too. Thank *&^*^ Grim/brin/skull may have other news to add.

If you guys need help with the intro book, I can help. Can't be on this week due to my laptop using 4mb/s whenever it's connected. I might need to wipe it. Also I'm in progress of making my town. Going to be huge.

Going to be huge. if you have a memory stick on a clean pc download the following: hitman pro malwarebytes free avira free on your laptop - disable windows updates (or boot in safemode network) run hitman in one time scan mode run malwarebytes after a full update with a full scan then install avira free and do a full scan of HD remove all the apps after you are done if it is malware related that should nail most of it.

cant do much about lag at present. unless someone wants to shout ~$140 for the server so I can get 2x 8Gb DDR3 dimms we seem to be smashing the memory limits quite hard now.
I'm working on a getting a new server for us. just have to wait till a couple of jobs pay off looking at setting up a Xeon E3-1270 with 32gb ECC RAM on a proper server board. - getting us ready for once one of us gets a decent fiber connection.
Anyhow.. back to news
yes I wrote a very basic guide book. if someone wants to improve on it. author a book in game and pass it over next time you see me online and I'll add it to the autobook plugin.
With my acquisition of Ozblox.net we are seemly getting a steady stream of new players. I;ve been noticing around 80 new connections a day, and as a guess I think about 10 of these players have stuck around.
if anyone asks, about the old Ozblox server. Basically it was shut down, we bought the name from Drew and pointed it to our server. Drew has a new server setup and can be connected via mc.espercraft.net

That's some good servers grim but how much do they cost? Went to an expo and they can cost like $200 a month in rent or somewhere between there. Or am I wrong :?

Intel Xeon E3-1270V2 CPU Intel S1200BT series server board 32GB ECC Registered RAM 500GB SATA Dual Intel Gigabit Ethernet Card 8 Port RAID Controller with JBOD Support Slimline DVD RW Drive Chenbro RM21508 2RU Chassis (8x HS HDD BAY) with Redundant Power
Something like that I would retail for around $ 4,700inc GST Bare in mind that's no storage other than an OS drive and no OS. In the sense of Minecraft, I'd add a 3 x 500gb drives in a raid5 + 1 as a hotspare (add $~300)
36 month lease via flexirent or the likes on the above would be around $170/month

That's alot of money lol, but it would be worth it if the server was to go big
