Check out the discussion if you are interested in starting this thing back up.

Hey, what's going on with the server. I log on, build some stuff, come back a week or so later and it looks like the server got restored to a previous state and all my building is undone. I'm hesitant to start a major building project.

I think the IP addresss changed but if you just use poecantmine.com it should resolve to the correct IP address and you should be able to join.

I haven't been able to log on in a couple weeks, is the server still alive?

derk derk derk i want to mine i can't mine boobly boo seriously server update pls kthx

When is the server going to be upgraded to the latest version?

I think the server is broken

There's a mob grinder now, for skeletons! The portal is near mine, which is near Sanny's. Exact coordinates are 45x345. CONVENIENT!

First overworld gate spawn of a zombie pigman. Yay. Also, a nether railway has now linked spawn with our distant crap out at the 2000, -2000 area. NETHERAIL™ is back in business, hot damn.

What happened to the map?

Fix that ♥♥♥♥.

So, hey, what's wrong with the server? It's been super laggy--15 second delays in opening chests and crafting tables, for example--and the connection's been almost impossible to establish. They're getting worse every day, but I don't know why.

HEY EVERYBODY I HAVE GRASS DOES ANYONE NEED SOME GRASS C'MON DUDE I GOT SOME DIRTY NUGGS seriously, if you need grass for your skydirt just let me know

So if you guys are in need of wool, my sky fortress now hosts an adorable family of gaily colored sheep (no green ones yet but I'll be owrking up a cactus farm SOON). Come help yourselves to all the delicious wool you want for fabric-based projects (yurt city in hell?)

Please do not KILL the sheep, it was a pain in the balls horsing the first breeding pair up there.

NETHER FORTRESS FOUND at end of +z railway (about z +1280 in Nether) me and blackson built into it but got our asses kicked. We need more nerds to take this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ down.

it is up and IT IS GLORIOUS and full of abandoned ♥♥♥♥.

dudes i didn't even realize this was back up.

UPDATE I think Notch fixed it. Someone did, anyway.

man the "restart and try to log on four times" thing is obnoxious. NOTCH FIX IT

IT DOES WORK BRO. ♥♥♥♥ IS NUTS

WHY DOESNT THE SERVER WORK AAAAAH

See Announcement

OUT DATED CLINET?

Unless the terrain generation engine changes drastically, I don't think a map reset will be necessary. We're already rechunked with all the latest business in all the uninhabited areas.

Are we going to to a complete map reset when the game is out of beta finally?

MY MINECRAFT I CANNOT PLAY MINECRAFT WHAT GIVES

I'v personally been off my minecraft oats- I haven't played for a while, and with 1.8 replacing the map gen it seems pointless to start up now.

Totally gonna jump back on the wagon when that update rolls out though.

so is the server offline for good (well, until migration and 1.8)? can't connect, after all...

Railroads are snaking out in the Nether. One goes out to Z -6700 with gates at Z -4000 (arctic edge!) and Z -2600; another goes to Z +1560. The nexus is near Teldin's (Pony's) gate. I built another from there to the big room in the Nether.

the airships look super awesome, but we already have issues with CERTAIN PEOPLE taking huge walks and doubling the map size.

DUDES

AIRSHIPS

Using a ship with piston operated bomb bay doors to drop TNT. Or side extensions that can be powered to drop attached TNT blocks on activation. Also a large sphere shaped ship with piston operated doors and a regular TNT cannon inside. Rotate the ship to fire at any angle!

baldr, drop me a line when you're free and I can fix your nether issue

Also, I am super pleased with Madhouse Keep, the new sandstone castle at around -500, -30. The gates are pretty sweet in particular, even though I only had enough redstone today to finish two of the three gates. I've never really worked with redstone before the addition of pistons and now I never have enough!

The Nether thing has happened to me too. The best way to avoid it as far as I can tell is to not disconnect in the Nether. To get off the ceiling, get in touch with Beef. He can teleport you to him. Alternatively, type /kill in the speech box, and you'll die and respawn. You do lose everything the second way, but if you aren't carrying anything important it's your best option.

I have a (slow) working mob farm near my base that should soon have a cactus farm added to it. No coordinates, just go to the Tower O' Doom from the NEther then follow the paving stones to the big hill with the huge bonfire on it.

Remember to throw the lever outside the collection room from "Awesome" to "Lame" and wait a couple seconds before you go in.

I found a skeleton spawn undeground and converted it into a grinder, building a stair to the surface above. The coordinates are:

x: -783
y: 77
z: 29

Arrows and bones!

Good news! I found a buttload of relatively easy to harvest glowstone and brought back a full stack. I also built a panic room in the general vicinity with a chest full of life-giving wheat.

Some of the glowstone went to the scenic overlook, but most of it is in the nether chest by ohemmali's gate for anyone that wants it.

I had a close encounter:

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ creepers won't leave me alone. http://hemmali.com/minecraft/creepers.png

Someone did something somewhere. Someone should do something about this.

Haha, I blew up that stupid pyramid.

me thinks tis so and beef will be stuck at work for a while

Is the server down?

anybody know how to make powered minecarts not suck? The difficulty in getting the damn things to actually push other carts would be fine if they moved at least as fast as I can walk, BUT THEY DON'T!

MIKE TYSON YOU RUIN EVERYTHING

I logged in and a Creeper blew up right behind me and blasted a hole in someone's house. Sorry!

I'm hosting a server, probably 24/7 now. Resolve angerbot.dyndns.org and connect. Stake a claim for yourself and start building!

I haven't been able to connect in weeks. It's been so long I don't even remember what I was building.

I need a project, otherwise I just blow stuff up. So, suggestions

I've been back at college for a while and not playing. My college computer has a 128mb video card and Notch's latest update has made the game laggy as hell. The dude added a bunch of user made mods and raped the performance again.

I'm getting a new computer soon though! In the meantime, here is a tutorial on boat elevators. (I'm really happy to see a tutorial without a horrible 12-year old voice)

Someone also developed a 'smart' boat elevator that can be called. Unfortunately, it has a voiceover, though not of horrible quality.

I haven't been able to get into either PoE server for days... are they down? The 71.62.156.220 refuses connection, if that's any indication.
