Minecraft at Respawn, Minecraft Options

[orbit]

Hi Guys,

What did you guys think of minecraft at respawn v19? I realise that there were heaps of issues with the server going down and some people not being able to play due to a "/kill" glitch.
As Notch sorts out his game things will get better and the game with (hopfully) become more stable.

Do you think it is worth having a minecraft server at respawn hosted by the admin team (probibly on one of the more powerful servers) or should we just leave the servers up to the players?
I have been playing around with Hey0's server mod and i'll be hosting an internet Minecraft server of my own to get used to how it all works and to try and avoid any furthur issues next respawn (if we run another minecraft server that is).

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips to running a Minecraft server? What do you want to see for the next one?

Respawn v19 we had some issues with a few griefers that really upset some players. It was never stated anywhere that griefing wasnt allowed however i thought it was implied. I will be sure to be a bit more specific next time to avoid this sort of thing happening in the future. What rules should we have set up?

Also i just wanted to give a shout out to the winners of the previous "Build something cool Minecraft Fun comp":

I really couldnt decide on just one winner this time around, there was just too much awesome going on. I will be posting screenshots of what they managed to build during V19 soon.

Hi Guys.
Server address: 27.50.90.78:25566
Finally!! We have a nice server to test.
The people at Cloudcube.com.au have let us borrow some server time on one of their servers:

CLOUDCUBE #2
Intel Xeon E5504 @ 2.00Ghz (2 Physical CPUs)
24.0GB DDR3 1333Mhz
100MBPS
Sydney, New South Wales

Obviously we dont get all of it. We get the specs of the "Minecraft Extreme" plan to test for a few days. Please log in and test it. So far it has been the best server i have used.
If this suits our needs then it will end up costing $60.00 per month. It comes with 1280MB of Dedicated RAM.

TEST THIS SERVER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN WHILE WE HAVE IT FOR FREE!

Seriously though guys so far the people at Cloudcube.com.au have been the BEST people i have ever dealt with.
