Conflicted

Posted by Alert Games on June 29, 2015, 2:14 p.m.

I like how you have the map of the old minecraft server link, 64digits. Sometimes I come on here and read through the blogs until I've read it all, and then I click on the map link and plan out what I should do next.

So I thought about posting about how it would be fun to start up that server again and continue rebuilding and fixing up the server using our improved architecting skills from playing new maps in new versions.

However, everytime I think about asking if we should host the map again, I think back to just how much time I put into the game, which would limit the time I have for actually developing things. I have to remind myself… if the server is put up again, I know it will consume my free-time and limit how much I get done. Such a conflict of interest.

I am wondering though, because hosting the map would consume a lot of server resources, would it make sense to only host the server for say half a week at a time if people would be interested in playing it again?

I may get back to this thought later….

v4 suggestion, save a blog as draft…

+1 on save blog as draft; when I need to I make a blog private and not on front page, but it's not quite the same as a draft.

I was a part of those ten people who didn't show up the next day. My problem is that I can't stand FTB, no program should require more than 4GB of memory and several minutes to start up. It would be nice to have a nice casual server to pick up, play, and hangout on, but FTB just takes over my computer and I can't do anything else.

yeah minecraft is already enough of a drag on my computer. That's why I've never bothered with FTB, it only sounds appealing if you have a really high end computer I think.

As much fun as I used to have on Minecraft, I just can't get back into it anymore. Performance of heavily modded packs is usually fine for me, it's just the game itself I can't really do anymore. :/

Drafts are already in V4.
Awesome.

My computer can run FTB just fine for me. I think one issue is the fact that for the people who would still play have different preferences on what they like to play. I know me and gmljosea (josea) would like to work on founton more. Cyrus and others prefer survival, and then others like FTB unless they don't like the resource hog. There's also other games that are out that people are playing right now.

What I was trying to say in the blog is that I'd like to work on the original MC server again (revisit the rollercoaster, make a more structured plot system for city building, fix the railways, etc). But I don't like how time consuming it is. I'm much busier now than I was years ago playing in the old versions.

Maybe I can set up a separate server or something for it, but I would need the map and package file, and then the map on 64d wouldn't be updated though… I'd like to play the map again but I don't know how much time I or anyone else would have to play on it. How difficult is it to set up on this server or another server?
