That kind of mentality is what kills these vanilla servers.
"Only so much to do."
It's Minecraft, you don't just hit a certain point and then stop. If I did that, I'd be restarting my single player every few days, because it would be kill the dragon and wither, and that's it. I hate seeing people say that, because it truly is the death of servers like this one. A lot of work goes towards building the community, just to see people leave after a few weeks, because there's "only so much to do."
Sorry for the ranting, it just really annoys me when I see that :/
Why do you wish to join this server?: I always love a good experience on true vanilla servers because it actually requires skill to be able to hide, protect, or format your base correctly to defend against people. PvP adds on to the fun because there's no better way to confirm your own strength and progression other than combatting against a real person with non-COM thinking patterns.
How active do you intend to be?: Mostly active, quite a few days out of the week. A bit more if I'm lucky.
Past minecraft/server experience?: A couple years of administrative business and an arsenal of ideas.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I am 14, nearly 15, and I am a relatively advanced gamer at almost any game you could throw at me. I love animals, and I am still obviously going to school. I have very good grades, an acceptable temper, and very talkative once I ease into a community of people.
Do you have any questions?: If I looked harder, I probably would have found the answer to this, but how old is this server? And will you reset the server map when 1.7 makes an entry?
Other info: I am a very unique and diverse player, my tactics and strategies are quite different from other players. I am very open to criticism and adjustments.
Patizor, accepted! Iron and gold farms are still not allowed, and I won't really budge on that rule. I'm a firm believer that automation like that can kill the game, whether it be in community ways or gameplay mechanic ways. As for the likelihood of being attacked by other players, unless you were doing anything to give them a reason to, it shouldn't happen.
xXOm3gAXx, accepted! No, this isn't a PVP based vanilla server, so that shouldn't happen. Fighting happens, but like I said previously, it should only happen with reason. I don't need to know anything else, but thanks for asking!
Prof_Insanity, accepted! Yes, there will be group activities to take part in. I haven't organized anything official, but people have worked together on quite a few things on the server!
3P1KR4K3N, accepted. To answer your questions, I don't know and can't tell you about the 1.7 thing, but if you want to know more, just read the last few pages of the thread. The server is roughly two months old.
Sorry for slacking on the apps, guys! Full-time employment has been taking more time than I thought it would. My schedules have been set to leave me hardly any time to do whatever.
Why do you wish to join this server?:
Honestly, I want to get back into Minecraft. The last time that I seriously played was on a server about a year ago and would like to get back into with all the new updates. I do keep up to date with the updates and I generally know what they all contain.
How active do you intend to be?:
I am going to be as active as I can be, I work a full time now and frequently get overtime but I would really like to get involved with a good server and good people.
Past Minecraft/server experience?:
I have been playing Minecraft on and off since Torches got added around the end of 2009. Most of the time it was just single player and started looking for multiplayer servers about 2011 and had only managed to find one or two. Then stopped playing for a while but I really want to get into and hopefully this server will be it.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I like to think that I am a fairly good builder but I for some really love to do mining. It can be strip mining or caving, it doesn't matter. I have built towers to the map height, and I've dug out and designed huge underground cities. I'm decent at redstone but I haven't messed with a lot of the new stuff, it does look super neat though!
Do you have any questions?: Can't say that I really do, if I think of any later I will be sure to ask.
Other info:
Even though I might only have time to play a few hours a day (not counting my days off from work, which will be all probably on your server) but I think it will be fun to play on the server with a bunch of new people and building all sorts of new things.
Why do you wish to join this server?: To have fun in my free time! Also its hard to find a good and SOLID server to play on with a friendly atmosphere.
How active do you intend to be?: I intend to be on a couple hours at least in the evenings after work and quite a bit on the weekends hard to give an exact amount of time with things coming up and life in general going on. So I will be on as much as I can be
Past minecraft/server experience?: I have been playing since beta off and on, Played on alot of servers over time and to many to even try to list. I gave up looking for a decent server and mainly start playing on servers friends and myself would host. Even then with only 3-4 people you already know the social interaction is limited and that is where online gaming is for me. Interaction between people and having fun playing the game together.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I'm a really laid back gamer that works full and am looking to start back to college for a computer degree of some type. I play almost any type of game there and I am just looking for a place to fit into and be apart of a Minecraft community
Do you have any questions?: I am curious what you have the server running on? Do you pay for a server or do you own it yourself? just one of the nerdy kinda questions.
Other info: if I missed anything please let me know and if you have any other questions again please let me know.
To be honest about the restart that MAY happen is a good thing, you can take this map now and build what you want and test build ideas that will be good for next map, but even though this map isn't old I see a lot of people have a lot of stuff and have "nothing" to do.
Still No One knows when 1.7 is coming out so just keep playing enjoy the time we have, and we will see then, but I do want a restart because I want to have a new place to build and I now know what I can do to fix my problems and please dont Leave server because it may restart. just think of the new map as a new project you can do plus a lot of people will be finished there projects or fun with there projects by the time 1.7 rolls around
sorry if you don't understand what I just said lol !!

and to add on to this: The old map can be put up for download too.
Why do you wish to join this server?: Looks like it's on good grounds in terms of management (e.g. no p2w perks that intoxicate most servers), and it seems like it has a lively and friendly atmosphere.
How active do you intend to be?: Nothing crazy, but probably around 30 minutes to 1 hour a day on weekdays. 2-3 hours on weekends. I'm just looking for something to casually play on.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I've been playing since Indev. Supported Notch before he took vacations every week.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I'm an aspired computer programmer and plan on majoring CS in college. Some of my hobbies include video games, anime, and sports (mainly hockey). I like a good laugh, and am pretty laid-back overall.
Do you have any questions?: Is there a TS or Mumble server for voice chat?
Why do you wish to join this server?: because i like minecraft i really want to play on a sever (survival) with people.
How active do you intend to be?: 1 or 2 a week because i don't always have the laptop and school.
Past minecraft/server experience?: hunger games, mineverse, beast sever
Tell us a bit about yourself: i like games, reading and helping people, i will give i hand and be supportive. most people say i have a good scene of humor.
Do you have any questions?:no but i will ask if i do
Public Apology Letter: Dear *anyone I have annoyed, been unpleasant around, or harmed... I am truly sorry for the things that I have presented you all with, and the bad impressions I have made on you. I have been trying to be just a casual player, not one that disrupts people's fun. It all seems hard to me but I think I can train myself to do it, mentally, within a week or so. I gave little respect, and apologize to all of you for it. The one thing I hope to gain back, is trust and respect from you, as I will present that same behavior towards you. I hope you can take my apology and expect better from me in the future. -Alex (MCFormater)
The people who are trying to convince me I should have a different opinion on the possible reset are only making me want to leave more. What do you expect, that I turn around my opinion 180 degrees just because you say so? Just stop it, it's maddening.
This man speaks the truth.
I am.
