Are we gonna have events to move the lore forward, btw? That would be awesome =)
Far as I can see they've set up the landscape and the basics, and from there it'll progress as time goes on. It'd be best to let the 'story' grow organically, starting from a good foundation. I just hope they've been pretty open-ended about stuff.
I've noticed that games that have had to stick to rigidly predefined backstories with little room for extra lore creation always end up breaking the lore they have to work with... Like Star Wars Galaxies (I'm an old jaded Pre-NGE SWG player before you ask). The game was stuck at the point where movie #5 takes place in Star Wars, and this meant that there couldn't be lots of Jedi, anything that came after the movies, anything that came before the movies, etc. without poking holes in the preestablished story (even if they don't contradict stuff they still made some very peculiar and nonsensical additions to the game).
WoW had this issue as well, and now that WoW, storywise, is past the events that are covered by WC 1,2,3 Blizzard is free to make up new stuffs.
This is not to say we shouldn't have SOME sort of history to base stories off of. My point is that if you fill in too many gaps and holes between historical events in a timeline it leaves less and less for others to add to and expand upon.
I'm assuming diplomacy is going to be the main way of handling conflicts, though there may end up being wars. They did say pvp will be in predetermined events, or something like that
I hate to be that guy, but if that's going to be the only nether portal, then is there going to be an absolute sure way that only demons can use it? Because if not, then the race ability is kind of pointless lol.
Nah. TnT kills people quicker than my other methods. Inescapable "beyond the point of no return" traps can also be made with TnT. I'll have to resort to other methods of security where ever I decide to live/hold-up.

So, is the server officially opened now? I tried logging on and it said I wasn't whitelisted. So, is the server open, or is my application bad?
Your application is horrible and you should feel bad.
JK xD
I just gave it a shot since I know I'm whitelisted. The server turned me away. This tells us that the Minecraft server has been set up and is nearly ready for players. Either the whitelist is undergoing a final revision before it shall be uploaded and is currently not on the server, or the server has a whitelist and is just turning everyone away regardless until the server is ready.

I got the same thing.
on another note, once the server gets up, I promise to make the Kevin Loveshrine mentioned roundabouts page 9 on the Siegecraft thread :biggrin.gif:
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Never recreate real-world places in the Minecaft World. you will forget what is real and what is Minecraft.

If ONLY demons could use it, that would be fine lol. I'm just saying that because our racial ability would be more of a chore then a benefit, by trying to guard the nether portal. :/

Well, it could be hidden with traps and locks all over the place. Only demons would know where all the traps would be, and only the best explorer could make it into the portal room. Even so, he would have to survive the demons attacking the explorer. Well, to make it harder, maybe only demons can break blocks inside the temple.

Bigger question: Is tnt disabled?
Not that it'll matter... I've got bigger plans
Not so much because of the responsible players, but because of certain TNT hackers I heard of.
I believe it says
Please do not ask questions that are already easily answered by reading.
Imperator - Augustus
Creepers, fire, and TNT are disabled
Imperator - Augustus
Imperator - Augustus
Disabled in what sense?
100% - If craftable at all they merely disappear upon detonation.
50% - No environmental destruction upon detonation. Players in vicinity of explosion are damaged.
0% - Still basically a legless sleeping creeper.
:wub.gif: Hehe
as in no explosion whatsoever and no fires (this also means the only nether portal is the one in the demon temple!)
Imperator - Augustus
Darn. That makes home security a little tougher (or at least a little less interesting :tongue.gif: ).
Easier you mean?
