Riding a minecart produces some pretty hard stuttering, seemed worse this morning than before whatever maintenance/update was preformed.

@CraftyMyner Lag and connection wise.

Should the mining be more smooth? Was on last night at ~3am Eastern and it was on the rough side big time.

@CraftyMyner Let me know if it feels any different!

What should we be looking for specifically?

@ardoasms Theres actually a thread where we link the best ban appeals, totally worth looking through it

I can't wait to see it.

I have decades of PC gaming and I've never seen people act so ridiculously and come back to ask for forgiveness. Getting banned for trolling/cheating I can see. Coming back to uselessly beg is amazing.

I'm amazed by the amount of bans that go on on the server.

I read the ban appeals and shake my head at the idiocy that goes on. People flat out breaking the rules, get caught and pretend to be sorry. We even had a person banned for hacking who later applied to be a mod to prevent further hacking while banned.

Unreal.

@R4iscool1 The irony of soviet superman going to basic training for the American Army.

There were actually quite a few Soviet born (i.e. before the fall) men who were in the army with me. Seems like a semi common thing.

Enjoy yourself! It will be some of the most memorable times of your life. I joined the Army a decade and a half ago and I still have awesome memories of the times I had with all my brothers!

Does anyone else have a ravine base? I have a base that's built into one and am looking for some ideas.

The ravine is very deep, and roofed by the earth. I have built it in 3 levels.

1st level has a farm, and minor storage with off shoot to my mines and another portion of the base. There are 2 waterfalls that fall from the roof of the ravine all the way to the bottom, which server to act as a water source for my small farm.

2nd level has a glass floor say 15 blocks above the 1st. Currently its unused except for a small map wall. The issue with the map wall is it adds to my entities, which make the base easier to spot.

3rd level also has a glass floor with holes cut into the sides for an old farm. I was unaware of the server rules on the amounts of farm animals, so I have killed off the farm until I have a better way to run it. The farm was located this high (near the surface) so i could better bring animals down into the base.

Just looking for some feedback on what other people have made.

Cratymynes staff, you guys made the correct decision.

I'm really impressed that you guys reconsidered the policy. It's a rare thing to see with most admins/owners who are to proud to reconsider and reverse policies that will be problematic.

What does the XP level serve to do?
