It works for me most of the time, just sometimes slow on big map.

Well, I dont know if this has been posted around here yet, or if anyone has heard. But Canada ISP's are going to start charging *alot* more per byte of data and lower the bandwith caps trying to gouge the consumers to pay more money for less internet.
I also found this picture more than fitting. Kinda puts it into perspective.. http://fukung.net/v/37735/afaa25c231739b1aa96cb7628ec8a2d0.png

I hope this gets stopped. If you live in Canada, sign the first link.

Figured I'd post some updates from my server.

I will do a youtube video soon of all the buildings once warps get back in otherwise it might take a lot longer to film it all.

Ugh that sucks, well I hope they fix beta soon. Not that I play often, though, anyway.

Betas been fixed, much better now. ( kinda old on that news but meh.)

Also, updated video on my world. Kinda funny as soon as i took this vid it was outdated cause 2 more *big* projects got started.

srsly watch it in HD ( lolHD minecraft?)

Also comments on the Tron recognizer thats in that vid too. Thanks

I think it needs at least 1GB to minimally run, anything below isn't a really good idea... At least 2GB shouldn't be a problem, I think. Also it's a good idea to have a swap partition (pagefile.sys under Windows) in case Minecraft takes up your entire RAM and locks up your computer.

Most of the time, when you die, all your stuff are dropped around so if you return to the place where you died you're usually able to retrieve all your stuff. Getting there is sometimes long, so warps or getting transported by the admin helps. A map can help too, here's mine: Map of my world (note: the player markers doesn't actually work...)

Also, screenshot. Took easily 1 hour to build this in obsidian, that thing takes 15 seconds to remove if I make a mistake.

(Oh lol, ninja'd...)

Lol thats sweet juju! and yeah, under 1gb= fail lol. Im running ubuntu, and i have swap but im upgrading to a new system next week with 2gb ram for MC so it should be plenty then. I still gotta come play some, it sucks for some reason MC lags pretty bad on my laptop

Lol, the only thing running on my 1.25GB RAM computer (maelstrom.julosoft.net) in my room is Minecraft Server and the minimum required to run an usable Linux. And a httpd/mysqld for Minecraft stats. And it runs really well.

About that RAM, I used up all mine last night when we had me, juju, genolo and a friend of mine on my server. Other than a few glitches all went well and I have a pumpkin house now. Once i upgrade the server to have more than 748mb ram ill post about it, but right now i cant have it too overloaded cause I need it to be up for me to play on lol. Ive only had MC for a few days and ive been playing it *alot*. Its really fun to be able to make all this stuff, minus the falling in lava part and losing all my stuff.
here's a pic of the map http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4490/map2normalday.png
And heres a vid of the server, although not up to date and a little laggy

Missing the pumpkin house.

yeah he's been like lv 80 for 3 years or so.  Apparently it has a lot of fun left even after level cap, which sounds nice

Yeah once you hit level cap theres alot to do yet. Lots of killing things lol
