They're upgrading the server(s) (there is a blog post about it). In the meantime, if worst comes to worst, you should be able to unplug your network cable or disable your network card and launch Minecraft. It should immediately ask you if you want to play offline, so you don't have to wait for the normal timeout or whatever.SpinningFrog said:
I was able to host a local gamme with my friend over using the same router... but I can't seem to do it over the 'net. Get something in the server box saying the port is in use. Put my internet ip in the server.properties, but that's what gives me the message. Where blank is local.
Wat do?

Oh, I know why I can't connect. Unplugging my router and such is nice and all but that wont help me when I want to play with my friend on his server.

gotcha, should've clarified for ya. fwiw my macbook pro is 2+ years old, only 2gb of ram but if I have it on my desk and not laying in bed, it runs fine and the fan doesn't kick in. It struggles a bit with anything but normal draw distances on the gaf server though, lots of huge structures to render.
I haven't seen a single squid in either my current world or any other worlds I create to look for them. What gives!? I've even tweeted to both @notch and @jeb_ about it. None of them ever reply to me. But they reply to others about less important things. It's like I don't actually exist. And if I were to say "Please answer!" it makes me look like an impatient jackass.
*sigh*
I don't even want the dye. I just want something living in my water instead of stupid farm animals taking a swim. And I really liked the animation they did when they swam.
Edit: Oh, for the love of. What the hell? Just before I could send them a tweet about it again, I loaded up my oldest world. Pre-Halloween, and there's half a dozen in the bay. Then the next world and there's a bunch in a shallow pool. Then my current working world and there's none! But there's a bunch of farm animals. So I am killing them all to see if maybe the game reached the Mob limit. Since it seems to save Mob locations when you travel through portals for some reason. DIE YOU PIGS AND COWS AND SHEEP AND CHICKENS!!!

It seems the E: ?/?? value in the F3 debug screen refers to how many Mobs there are loaded. I've killed them all, but the game keeps spawning more cows. Only cows now. No squid! Why the fuck won't it spawn any squid? Ugh. I'm going to take a walk for a long distance and force it to unload the world and reload it.
Edit: No! Not a single squid will spawn in my world! Anywhere!

Success! They have finally spawned! In the bay next to my "what used to be a forest until the lava burned it down and turned it into an empty field with flaming floating logs, many of which are too high up to reach so I'll have to bring some ladders", there are a bunch swimming about. Joyous day! Unfortunately it's night or I'd take a screenshot.

Thanks, so I am guessing if I get the newest Macbook I would be able to run it with the highest draw distance etc? I don't know how big Macbook Pro updates are graphically. I can't get into Minecraft if it is foggy, when i can't see the sky everything seems lame to me.

This may have been posted in the thread already, but the above video reminded me of a video Youtube recommended I watch the other day:

I approve of their suggestion...I wow'ed.
server was running as of lst night. If you can't connect to minecraft.net then you can't connect to the server, as must be authenticated...
EDIT: I took the server offline: no one could connect because of an authentication server issue (Notch's). I'll follow's notches twitter and reup when it's fixed.

anyone else get kind of bored with sp after playing a bunch of mp? Not that I don't still like sp of course.
I'm the opposite... I'm too OCD to enjoy MP, really. In SP it is a relief to know I have 100% control over... everything. In MP I've had plans for a space, only to log on and see that someone used it for something (in my opinion) stupid.
I can totally see MP being great in a small-scale context. If you and 2-3 buddies share a vision for a space and can worth together to build Minas Tirith (or whatever) then awesome. But something like the GAF server, with lots of hustle and bustle, people coming and going... it isn't for me.

It's not about being able to mark a space as "mine." It's about playing a TOOOON of Minecraft before MP was even implemented, and every single one of those hours was spent in a world that was mine and mine alone.
Minecraft became a personal thing for me.
If I roll a new world, every single coal, every block, every tree, was mine.
I totally think spelunking with a few buds and then using the iron we gathered to build a roller coaster would be sweet. Scenarios like that still feel "personal."
But a perpetual world with lots of people logging on and off doesn't appeal to me.
Plus, as others have mentioned, the mobs & danger aspect are pretty critical. I played on peaceful for a long time when the difficulty was bugged, and I only just now started playing with mobs on again. It was fun to actually have to find a safe place that first night, and it was fun spending the 2nd day expanding that "tamed zone."

Here's what I've been working on with my friend on his server.
This is a view from the back, with my rail system.
This is a view of the front area. I love my cactus walls.
The inside portion, it also has 6 basement levels.
Here is the upstairs. Nice and roomy, complete with water walls.

I wish the Pigmen still showed up in Peaceful. Since they're passive, I don't see why not. (Though they do freak out. Maybe he could gimp the Peaceful ones to only hit back once like the Squid.)notsol337 said:
I just want someone to keep me company when I'm walking through my Nether Highways.
I always have issues with port forwarding, it seems.
Using http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
it's saying that the port 25565 is Closed.
What am I doing wrong here?

I wish Easy worked this way:
Enemies would only show up at night
No enemies spawn in caves (Unless in a Dungeon)
Creepers don't spawn as much and become benign during the day
The Nether would be less dangerous unless you get too close to a Ghast which would only attack if you come within 10 meters
I would play with enemies on if this were how Easy worked. I want to play the game. I want to build, but I'd also like to have challenge, but I don't want my fun to be ruined. I spend most of my time in caves. I've played on a server with enemies. It's a pain in the ass to mine with enemies turned on when all I want to do is build an empire.
Until then, I will probably play on Peaceful forever.
I mean he has two other difficulties to make the game super hard. Let easy be a slight step up from Peaceful. Something for people who are ready to leave the comfort of not dying every night to have a little bit of a challenge without being overwhelmed.
Plus it would allow me to actually find some damn bones in my game! And gunpowder without having to hunt for a dungeon.
