SERVER STATUS: CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE​

- This server IS whitelisted - in order to join, you must send me a PM with your Minecraft name. -​

Description
This server is strictly vanilla survival and adheres to traditional Minecraft gameplay. All players are expected to follow a set of rules to ensure a safe, enjoyable time while playing on the server. In addition, this is NOT a PVP server. Currently, I am only allowing close friends, guild members, and longtime forum members onto the server, although this is subject to change in the future.

Server rules:
  1. Be respectful to others - this includes their items and property.
  2. Use common sense.
  3. Do not beg for promotions.
  4. Refrain from intentional PVP.
  5. Do not build in a manner that is intrusive to others.
  6. Use chat responsibly.
  7. You break it, you fix it.
  8. Have fun!
@Kat Five Knives and I (JFR) administrate the server - if you have any questions or concerns, you're more than welcome to contact us.

It's been a whole week since I've been on the server. :O

I know there won't be an exact time it'll be up, but I was wondering if you could create estimated times for the server's uptime? Just a thought. ;)

Official guidelines for promotion on the server have been discussed and decided by Kat and I - I will list them here as well as on the front post.

Factors that affect your likelihood of promotion on the server are:
  • How often you play
  • How well we (Kat/me) know you from other sources
  • How you behave in-game
  • Your amount of contribution
  • Your willingness to help/guide others
  • Your level of maturity
 
I decided to map out the coast line of the "island" we are on, turns out it is a large peninsula. This is made with the largest map size (2048x2048) each pixel represents 16 blocks. At this scale it is near impossible to see any man-made structures, except large ones. If you look closely near the bottom there are a few brown pixels those are buildings. I mapped out the entire coast by boat and I walked on all of the currently established roads at spawn, which is the large section that is filled in from coast to coast at the bottom of the map. Here it is,

I have also put a copy of it in the spawn building,

John can move it wherever he pleases. I will continue to fill this in over time, and after I am done with this I may make a higher definition series of maps of spawn town!

Some notes:
These are some things people may be interested in that I found on the trip.
  • There is a Savanna Biome. (around X: -700 Z: -700)
  • There is a Roofed Forest Biome. (around X: -900 Z: -200)
  • There is a Flower Forest Biome. (around X: -700 Z: -550)

That's pretty neat! Thanks for all the work you've done for the server, Bart - myself, Kat, and the other members appreciate it highly.
 
Trying something new - I set all the server files onto a RAMdisk partition. This should allow for faster load times and SHOULD cut down on that teleport lag, with the downside of volatility (no power = data loss).

Let me know how teleporting and moving around is - so far I've heard good things from Kat.

Props to @Drewski0199 and @Cap Jacky for making this impressive Dark Archive sign!
