So wait - the whole company hosting this server just...

Vanished?

Ouch.

7/28/2011 10:45:39 PM

Yep

7/28/2011 10:57:02 PM

oh noes, my reed farm that finally started working

7/29/2011 8:06:11 AM

The whole Brohoster saga has been one serious epic nerd drama.

This is hilarious:

Yeah, I skimmed through the facepunch thread a bit - hilarious nerd drama, but also sounds like it sucks pretty bad for those who got screwed.

sir, how goes you endeavors with these scalawags?

7/31/2011 8:55:36 PM

Looks like brohoster is back up for 72 hours - grab a backup!

7/31/2011 11:58:33 PM

downloaded the entire server earlier today, so no work lost.

Will report back on getting it back somewhere else

8/1/2011 1:46:48 AM

good lad

8/1/2011 8:04:10 AM

map appears to be up... hoping I'm not going all "time to fix the pirate ship" and things are gonna get reset..

8/1/2011 10:09:57 PM

dont login or play if it is up. It will disappear in the next day or two permanently and I'm not going to download the whole server again

8/2/2011 4:31:01 AM

ETA on the new server per chance?

8/10/2011 2:34:29 PM

Yeah, sorry I've been slammed at work

Will try to get the map back online somehow by the weekend.

8/10/2011 6:42:25 PM

No pressure - just checking up. You're doing us a favor, so don't feel urged. I totally understand the work stuff!

8/10/2011 7:43:17 PM

Still waiting.


Also, not to knock Microsoft or anything, but meeting their standards is easy as fuck. Just release it with as many security holes and bugs as possible. I wish all I had to do all day was design UI's and engage in patent wars.

8/10/2011 10:47:02 PM

^ Says the guy who couldn't find time to update the server in months because school is too hard.

UI design is maybe 10% of my job. And for the rest, you're making yourself look stupid

8/11/2011 8:12:31 PM

8/11/2011 8:41:33 PM

I've got a server up if anyone wants something to do in the meantime. Just PM me.

8/12/2011 10:17:25 AM

decided on a new host, now to transfer everything over and get it all hooked up

8/12/2011 11:34:25 PM

Server is up and running. Currently the map is re-rendering in HD, which is going to take a while (and will potentially cause a considerable amount of lag).

Waiting for qntmfred to update the cname so mc.thewolfweb.com will work again

As soon as the cname resolves I'll post again to open the doors to everyone

8/13/2011 5:51:05 PM

thanks

The server is up, the map is rendered (although with some crazy ass tile issues), and minecraft is ready to be played

8/15/2011 10:25:42 PM

Just logged in and went into the nether.....appears to have crashed the server....sorry

8/15/2011 11:39:36 PM

doh!

8/16/2011 5:50:20 AM

Spawn looks like its been hit by a giant snowball

8/16/2011 10:58:11 AM

Appears to be some lag/crash issues, and I'm not sure if anything in particular is causing them. Ghost logged in and discovered half his sandcastle had been replaced by regular grassy chunks, so we're not entirely sure if there's some buggy issues with the map backup. Venturing into these chunks encouraged the lag the first time around, so who knows.

Ideas?

8/16/2011 6:45:37 PM

yea.....I broke it

8/16/2011 6:50:17 PM

If it's any help, I'm getting to the "Logging In" screen, and keep getting a "Connection Lost - End of Stream" error.

Poor ghost just can't catch a break today on the server...

EDIT: Sorry for the multiple edits, but it appears to be back. We'll see how long it lasts. I believe part of the issue is that Ghost's sandcastle is in the northeastern chunks that are all messed up on the dynamic-map (or at least I think it is), and his working there is making the server shit bricks. Maybe?

8/16/2011 6:53:10 PM

there is definitely something massively wrong with some of the chunks.

I'm going to debug the map locally a bit and see what's going on.

I restarted the server, but build with caution as I may have to wipe the damn map (with a backup of course). The server log had gotten to 54mb with chunk errors.

8/16/2011 8:45:16 PM

Well damnit... Is there any way (assuming you have to do a wipe) that you could only have to wipe and reload the northern half of the map?

I'd love to maintain my new and improved reed farm if I could

8/16/2011 10:31:27 PM

how do i play on TWW minecraft server now

is it same info as in OP?

8/17/2011 8:48:09 AM

The new dynmap HD is awesome. It leaves nothing to the imagination.

8/17/2011 10:39:30 AM

^^just use mc.thewolfweb.com

8/17/2011 9:47:40 PM

8/17/2011 10:48:20 PM

i didnt do it.(on purpose) i logged in heard a bunch of rukus and found a couple hundred pigs outside whats left of my castle. I usually try to stay away from that area since it bugs the server out but i always log in there for some reason.

8/19/2011 2:46:51 PM

Is the server still up? First time trying to connect to the server in over 9 months. Also am I still on the white list? username > Hoffmaster

I'm using MCNOSTALGIA 1.0.2 and patching back to v1.6.6
I'm getting the "connection refused : connect" error

[Edited on August 31, 2011 at 10:24 PM. Reason : ?]

8/31/2011 10:23:13 PM

I'm also having server access connection failures. What's up?

9/4/2011 3:59:01 PM

Anybody?...

9/5/2011 1:40:34 PM

same issue for me

9/5/2011 11:07:24 PM

So I think I finally have the map fixed locally.

But, with the impending release of 1.8, I'm wondering if it isn't time for a fresh server start.

What do you guys think? Our current map has now gone through 3 chunk versions (and fixes), and has all kinds of weird fucked up terrain and terrible biomes.

If we start over with 1.8, we get dungeons and much much better terrain, no more weird fucked up chunk issues, and a chance to start new mega projects. I personally have probably 1000 hours in the old map, but I think it may be time to start over.

Thoughts? Would you guys like me to throw up the 1.8 pre-release server? Or wait for the official 1.8?

9/10/2011 3:36:01 AM

Well, I basically lost everything with all the server drama so I am all for a new map. I don't have a preference between pre-release and official. (whichever is easier for you I suppose)

9/10/2011 7:38:08 AM

I've got no hesitations towards starting a fresh map - I imagine all the adventure updates will make this map feel much more like a survival server than a creative server, and that could be a lot of fun. With regards to 1.8, the official release should be out in a few days, so it's your call on what to put online.

9/10/2011 9:35:57 AM

while I will miss my towns, I'm ok with a new survival map

I think you should let the spawn be built up organically this time instead being a planned city

9/10/2011 10:15:52 AM

^totally agree. this will be much more a survival & adventure server, where the last one was really a creative server with mobs.

I'm going to wait for bukkit to update to 1.8 to move everything over. Should only be another week or two. I'll let everyone know

9/10/2011 6:42:14 PM

It'd be pretty cool if the spawn was this sprawling, vertical city with everyone contributing huge sections (maybe with some loose design guidelines).

On the one hand, it was cool on the last server to have this frontier feel: everyone having remote bases connected only by an extensive rail system. But on the other hand, I always felt very isolated. On a good day, I might be able to see the next project over (abandoned of course) but that was it.
