On a more serious note, I do think there is a bug with the spawning and despawning coding in Minecraft. I've logged off overnight and come back with the same amount or even significantly more mobs in the spawner. Not sure if it is just not recognizing the log off and continuing to generate mobs or what. That isn't what happened the first time I was AFK and it spawned like 2k skellies. This last time I know for sure I logged off, I actually completely shut down my computer because I went out of town and a storm was coming in and I wanted to unplug everything, so now I'm really confused as to why I was still logged in.
Before anyone mentions that the server is down, I know. I can't get it back up because I can't access the console. I'm hoping that it will buff out and come back up by itself, but I might have to ask Jhaeli to contact support.
We are pleased to announce that we are now ready to upgrade our datacenter located in Chicago, IL. This upgrade will increase our total uplink to 6x10Gbit links, being a more resilent uplink towards DDOS attacks as well as proving a far superior network infrastructure that will bring better connectivity and lower latency for gamers. We are also constantly strengthening our DDOS protection by analysing attacks followed by counter measurements to decrease their effectiveness in the future.
Work has been done to ensure that this is handled as seamlessly as possible and has minimal effect on all affected clients. The machines will keep all files and configuration as they are being relocated in the datacenter to provide us with more control over our hardware, you don't have to worry about losing any configuration/data.
All access to your services will be unavailble during this outage.
START DATE/TIME: 25/11/2013 01:00AM PST
END DATE/TIME: 25/11/2013 09:00AM PST
As far as I know, that's what's causing the outage. Should be back up by the end of the day.
Also, I've paid for the next three months. That's used up the last of the donation money and I'm now fully bowed out. So if you need whitelisting, please contact @Kazu! Kazu, if you cannot find another method to collect donations (which would be great so I could have my PayPal account back, heh!), let me know and I'll make the donation button available again.
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
I am so speechless right now. Finally get the third wither skelly skull. Spent hours enchanting diamond armor to get the perfect set. I'm digging a giant hole in the Mushroom Island I'm on so I created a huge network of tunnels so I can use the wither boss to dig out the hole for me because it destroys blocks so fast. I get everything all set up, get ready to place the third skull and then leave the computer to check the temperature on the turkey one last time before I start the big battle. In that 5-6 minutes I'm gone, a zombie attacks me (in full diamond, full health, full hunger, sitting next to a Resistance II beacon) ON A MUSHROOM ISLAND and kills me. I come back dead and am utterly confused. I can't find any of my stuff, I had an inventory full of potions AND I LOST THE LAST WITHER SKELLY SKULL!!!! WTF?! How fast is the despawn time now and how the hell did a zombie spawn in the middle of a mushroom island and how did everything despawn so fast?
I'm so pissed right now, this is the greatest lost I've ever had playing Minecraft. Had to have been a bug. I couldn't even find the zombie that killed me. So disappointed right now.
Standarrd despawn time is 5 minutes for items. As for being on a mushroom island, stuff can still spawn just outside it, especially if you are down in tunnels. All you need is it to be under the ocean biome and stuff will still spawn. Zombies in particular are bad about that, since they can track upward of 90 blocks away.
Going to be updating us to the new dev build of bukkit. Keep in mind, this is a DEV build, so there will be some bugs. I know for a fact that using redstone to open doors is broken. Not quite sure what else is, but I haven't heard of any major problems that are game-breaking. Let me know if you have any kind of problem with bugs. Probably going to take me a little bit to get it all updated as well.

I hope you didn't do this yet @Kazu, the dev bukkit build is INSANELY unstable

@Tharvis is it really? I've heard pretty good reports about it's stability.. What kind of problems are you having with it?
not me personally, another minecraft server I'm on has stability issues, as in, random patches of land resetting
granted, they do have alot of plugins running, so that might be the issue, just keep an eye out

I decided to err on the side of caution and reverted it back to standard minecraft. I don't suppose waiting a bit longer to see if anything major comes up will be too much of an issue.
Rejoice! For we now have bukkit. Dynmap will take a bit longer, because I actually need them to release a new version with all the new blocks in it.
Also, the ram requirements to run this are a bit higher than the vanilla server. So please don't let a huge mass of mobs build up @Grandue and @Jarrod.
Also, I changed the grief prevention tool from a gold shovel to a wooden one. Enjoy!
The basic flat map is done rendering, but the highres surface map is going to take a while. It's possible to play with a slight lag atm, but I'd like to ask you guys not to farm mobs until the render is done. So go out and enjoy the plugins! Link to the dynmap is in my signature.
Well my nether castle thing is gone, and Tharvis's overworld portal now links to my netherworld portal, whereas I had built him his own nether portal to keep them separate
That's annoying, I'd really rather not build more 500 block tunnels through the nether that accomodate horses, block ghast vision, and have powered rails...
