There is no challenge whatsoever to gain levels and get high level enchantments. Whereas I would previously have to stand at my Blaze XP farm for 45-60 minutes and then kill the resulting ~500 Blazes with a splash potion, safely make it back to my base, and then spend a few minutes cycling the enchanting table to get a level 50 enchantment, I can now stand there for 5 minutes, kill 25 Blazes, then go back to my base and instantly enchant something for level 30.

I hope you realize that logic makes no sense. Spending 60 minutes grinding at a spawner is virtually the same thing as spending half an hour grinding at that very same spawner. There is no substancial skill needed to exp grind in minecraft. There is no challenge, besides a headache, to grind for 60 minutes compared to half an hour. It's the same thing and concept, one simply takes more time than the other. If you want to grind for an hour, go ahead, but not everybody wants to do that. A 30 level cap on enchantments means that people who want to grind can still grind, but those who dislike grinding don't have to break their own playstyle in order to acheive higher enchantments.

I very much welcome the merge, it just might take a few updates to iron out the lag.

I really like the server so far, and those of you who haven't should try this server out.

Yeah I think it's silly that they turn instantly into house cats. Would be nice if you had to breed two ocelots for a cat.

Name: Rodya Fang
Biography: Born in another continent in an educated family, Rodya left his home in search of something new and bold. After many days of travel, sailing, and walking, Rodya finally makes it to Betelgeuse, and hopefully he can start a new life there.

Perhaps one day, Rodya will make a name for himself and even find some allies.
Skills: Expert swordsmen and very cunning. Reasonable skilled with archery. Enjoys many past times, such as building, mining, brewing, and free running. Rodya is ineffective with the use of magic. (rouge)
Appearance: Thick black hair, tall, and strong legs. Brown eyes and a stoic face. Very quiet, unless prompted. Human.

"Molto bene"

Nice server guys, I'm really enjoying it. Just needs some more people :3

Spler either needs to update the server, or we revert back to 1.0.

However, it is possible to now have fire arrows, so something should be done about that. If anybody could help on how to revert to 1.0, that would be appreciated.

However, I am willing to wait a week if we get our structures moved to the new world. Not sure about anyone else...

Is it possible to make TNT and creeper explosions only harm entities and not blocks? I think that would be nice addition to PVP without the worry of griefing.

Although I wouldn't like all our hard work gone, hopefully we can all be back on the server playing again some time soon.

AS said before, the teleportation needs some altering. Although I think a significantly long teleportation time would be suitable instead of removing it altogether. Damage taken or moving a step will cancel the time.

Roll a brand new map but world edit any of the major buildings into.

I think the server is great the way it is so far, although a higher cap would be nice.

Bumpity.

Anyway, hopefully this terrible event won't happen again.

The reason I don't like oceans is because there is nothing in them. I love the idea of expansive oceans that stretch very far, that's what an ocean is. But currently, the oceans are very dead and not very interesting to deserve its own biome. Hopefully with later releases, more underwater content will be introduced, and the ocean biome will be more varied and appealing.
