I'm all for starting a thread in the online forum for all the multiplayer stuff. Considering you need to have an account here to view it, it seems perfectly suited for this. I think I understand that Firehead may not want the ip in the hands of too many people, but once we get an "official" server, I think it deserves a thread there.

Well its the same anyway. Everybody who wants the IP can ask him for it or look into that (nonexistent) thread. Doesnt matter that much. Only hassle for him to write that Ip a gazillion times.

Huh. Well now I'm doubly curious! It's happening in all my workbenches, but I don't really have time to troubleshoot.
At least it's not game-breaking, since I just have to remember to remove my items before closing the interface.

Okay I just bought the game (damn you, gaf 
). I builded up a little house (thanks for the begginers guide in OP) and survived a few nights and explored the land on daytime. I set up a little field and my crop is growin, the game is awesome so far
But where do I find the better minerals? Iron, Gold, Diamond etc? Do I just have to dig deep holes?

Yup. You are a special Junior. Buying Minecraft makes you special and helps you to get rid of the junior tag.

Well, mine has content and server IPs....
fake edit: filipe I still couldn't connect to yours.
fake edit 2: How much would it cost to rent a "proper" server like people do for things like Team Fortress 2? If it's ~$20/month I don't really mind paying for it myself and setting up a ChipIn or something if people wanna help cover a put of the cost.

Same here, I knew it was not going to be pretty, but after reading about it it looks like it was pretty diasterous.
To make matters worse, the developer will be traveling most of the remainder of the month, meaning there likely won't be a solid multiplier client until September.

Yeah, been trying to find out a cost to rent a server that would run this. Most places I've seen have specific servers or dedicated, which run about $150 a month.
Ok, here's my wacky idea for multiplayer land zoning.
Have someone do a large exploration of the server's map. Put it through cartographer, then overlay a grid on it. Then hand out grid locations for people in the multiplayer forum.
Now, the tough part... someone has to go in and place signs at the corners of each land plot with the correct grid coordinates on it. Or, you could just set off on your own and claim the land yourself. If there are border disputes, another cartographer plot-out will show if people are overstepping their property lines.
Sounds like a game in and of itself!

The grid idea is good. Although I'm not really sure we need "private" space on the server.
But if we did do grids, they could be marked at the corners with posts. Then it's a pretty easy thing to go in and just make a straight line with cobblestone between posts. Just a bounderie marking.

Is it possible to get your items back after you die? I havn't had a chance to check, as I've either not been able to find the place I died until much later, or died in a way that would render any attempt to retrieve my stuff doubly fatal
Once the multiplayer starts forming up proper, I would like to like to see some sort of geocaching. Planting chests with little random things in them scattered across the land. Either leave the goodies as is, or take and replace something of yours. Also placing a sign nearby so whoever does find it can put their name on the list.
You can, but the things you do drop have a time limit it seems before they disappear.mrgone said:Is it possible to get your items back after you die?

I use the default skin because I've never once used third person. I've never seen myself.
I'll probably need to make a proper skin now that MP is coming together.
I do feel that MP was released too early, however. I think Notch felt pressured by the game's extreme success and felt pressured to stick to his own timeline.
I would have MUCH rather had him wait ~3 weeks to release MP until it, you know, worked. Now, the impact of MP Minecraft is diminished somewhat, because we're getting it in morsels. We can run around the world together, but can't really do much. In another couple weeks storage will work properly. And another couple after that enemies will be in, etc.
Yeah delays suck, but I don't think anyone would have blamed him for shifting his timeline back 3-4 weeks. It happens all the time. And then MP dropping would have felt amazing.

Meh. I can wait - the game's singleplayer can keep me engrossed and with us tweaking the multiplayer as it drops it will be fun. I can understand wanting something full when it drops, but the tantalizing thing about the game is that you always want more, so a staggered MP release schedule is ideal (as well as his own style, anyway)GDJustin said:

So I fired up a dedicated server today. I figured I'd give it a test run. I'm signed in and the ports are forwarded. If you guys are interested in checking it out PM me. I am hoping that my boss will give me one of the old server machines we have at work and I will be able to use that as a dedicated server.
