Sorry I haven't been on lately guys. This server belongs to all of you - I am simply paying/administrating but the idea of this server is that it belongs to nobody. Continue to come up with criticisms and ideas and maybe we can bring this server back to what it used to be.
Idea: We can give the mods the ability to view block edits. Then, we will place chests in very random spots. If we find people who get a 'direct' path to a chest with little or no searching, then we know they are cheating. This would be like a honey pot for cheaters and will not give us any false positives.
Hmmmm, which mod should be used to accomplish this..

We have a regular user who has been cheating by using the transparent texture packs, but with little solid evidence, I have not banned them. The closest evidence I have is from when we were running Genesis (Super-Vanilla) which didn't have any commands (including /who) and I read as the user discussed how he was finding lots of hidden bases within 10 minutes, including hidden anomolies that were generated while making the bedrock border. This same person was roaming map Beta and digging directly to chests. Just wanted to point out to this person that you're not going un-noticed.
To prevent cheating, I am looking into checksum keys w/ dedicated clients. I dont know if it's possible yet, and considering it would require me to build a modified client, and especially since I'm working more hours (yeah I actually have a life now o.O ) it would take some time. This is quite the fascist fix, and totally goes against the idea of the server, but if the people ask for it, I will deliver it if I can. This means that you wont be able to join the server unless you run a client or client-side mod that we provide, which will not allow custom texture packs or any file modifications, period.
It wont fix all of our issues, but it will add extra security.

So this may be a silly question, but I really have no idea. When I am dorking around the map and a massive 20x20x70 hole appears, is that just a server-based chunk error that fixes itself, or is that something someone is hacking in? If so, how is it fixed because I have had it appear alot in different places but they seem to disappear from time to time and things that were affected are back to normal-ish.

Chunk error. Just log out and back in to clear it when you come across one.
This server sucks ass as soon as you join peeps will kill you
Well, I hate being frank with you, but you probably just suck at the political level of the game. You might have unknowingly pissed off someone. To be honest it shouldn't be a big deal - on your initial spawn you don't actually own anything, so it's only mildly annoying really... If you aren't able to maturely handle that, then I don't want to see you when you actually lose something of worth.
I just see it as ignorant and immature to say a game "sucks ass" when it's probably you that just didn't do well. On every food chain, someone has to be at the bottom. Perhaps it was you in this case.
There should be some pvp, but I've had similar experiences to many complainers above.
There is no way a fresh player, with nothing to start, can compete with diamond-armed, multi-person assaults. So, unless one can happen to be left alone for many, many hours to build up, there is nothing that even resembles fair or enjoyable combat. That's not even taking into account the ravaged landscape, having fewer resources with each passing player.
Also, sneaking is simply not effective. If you pretend that it is a viable defense, you are a complete idiot. One can not sneak sufficiently often enough AND still get anything done/travel anywhere in a reasonable time. The map is perilously finite for someone attempting this, too; once located, judging from my experience, the attackers will stop at nothing and commit any amount of time to your ultimate destruction, perhaps repeatedly.
This leaves very few options:
(1) Be one of the diamond-clad warriors and spend every in-server moment ruining other players, many of which have nothing good and are generally upset by the experience, causing any persistent fellow players to hate/attack you later and/or successfully discouraging them from playing (in which case you are now the proud owner of a very messed up, lonely map). This almost requires being a long-time member (getting in when it was easier and/or nobody else played yet), hacking the necessary armaments, getting really lucky, and/or an incredible amount of patience to amass the weapons and armor safely.
(2) Cooperate with fellow players, something that random internet-folk are notoriously incompetent at executing. Playing with several like-minded friends, if possible, might yield sufficiently powerful attack capability with the stone/iron armaments one can scrounge up quickly.
(3) Or, both of the above. Be a group of well-armed jerks.
Again, I couldn't agree more that there should be competition among players; beating mindless mobs and conquering defenseless blocks is often not challenging enough. But any reasonable person will see that this is not an attractive set of options, much less to any realistic variety of players. Your server and the "successful" players therein preclude any other play-styles as well as any less-brutal players of the same style. Everyone's using all the resources they can muster to wreck each other, filtering all the good stuff systematically to those who play too much, have the most friends in-game, and are jerks to others most frequently.
I wish I could offer a solution, but I don't know of any. Fixing the floating-nametag-at-tremendous-distance-and-through-the-world thing is the best I can ask for, and may actually be enough to make it fun again (though it still doesn't correct those otherwise-inadequate, hopelessly hostile players). I just wanted to give some feedback and say that I'm extremely disappointed in the in-game populace that I've met, both the pathetic victims and relentless attackers. I have been such a victim several times, at first because I was learning how multiplayer worked, and never managed to have the equipment to be on offense due to the frequency of attacks, even after several days of efforts; I am seeking better servers now, but may return.

After reading this...I think I'm in the second class...I prefer to help than killing other XD...Understand me...being a merchant is ALWAYS better than being an ******...
So I say...Restart the map or change the spawn location XD...This place is too ravaged by Creepers and war...if there could be blood, The water would be RED...
Survival...pure destruction?...I think they are not compatible... its surely total freedom...killing for survive...but killing for killing is another thing...Why ruining others fun when you can kick Creepers Ass?... Cmon...Creepers are more than a chalenge compared to newbies =3...
The server is still good...hoping i wont find another of those bad ass who think that they rule the world with TNT...(Yeah...I saw one with TNT one day...it was horrible...)
All i see are new comers complaining how theres no trees, and true if it isn't getting burnt down, its getting farmed and people keeping the saplings...
Cmon we need more newcomers to settle in the server where we can then rob them >=]
But yeah, be nice and replant the saplings, cause spending half an hour replanting trees then coming back the next day to see a tree less map is pretty anoying.
Oh and Storky is a ass for killing me behind my back =P

It's just the natural selection at work, something that our server is best known for. :tongue.gif:
People don't always do that though. I hope you will want to try the server again.

I guess you are. Implementing the chest idea will require some scheduled server downtime.
