The OP is woefully outdated, but here's the info on the GAF server;
HaRyu said:
Bear in mind that we may start the GAF server fresh for the next major content patch. Each new patch adds stuff to the world, but not retroactively, so a new world is needed to add some of the bigger terrain features. On top of that, the GAF server has a lot of the content completed already (Dungeon has been ransacked, most bosses defeated, all of the Shadow Orbs smashed, etc.) so a reboot would be nice for most new players.
And as others have said, the multiplayer right now is a little bonus, the real meat of the game for most of us has been the single player game.

We have one server running (as far as I know).
However, since the world was pretty much cleared in 3 days, there's not much one can do other than build, or gather resources. You can stop by if you want, but you should stop by when the update hits (I'll be making a new world for it).

Actually, as far as I know, the King Slime hasnt been fought yet on the server (its a mini boss, but its still a boss). But yeah, we already did everything.
HaRyu said:
Did we ever decide how we were going to stagger the free loot on GAFServer2? I had mentioned building the HQ in such a way that the more powerful stuff was kept behind the natural Terraria barriers like height, different brick types, etc.?
It seems it would be easier to just not put a lot of loot except for the most basic, quality of life stuff on there (Magic mirrors, etc.) and building supplies. Half the fun in this game is starting out with nothing and finding everything.

Oh, I actually have a plan for the advanced storage facility. Its going to take a bit of time to build, so to the regular GAF builders (you know who you are), I'm going to need some help making it. Lets just say that there's no way in hell a fresh character can even get through the advanced storage facility w/o the bare minimum equipment, plus some actual game skill. Those w/ the high end equipment won't have any problems... unless of course you have no skill either. For the builders that want to help make it, PM me for the details. *CACKLE*
I'm working out some other details too on how we conduct activities on the server (house rules and such), but all the info will go up when the new update hits.
So I finally finished my big herb garden, god that needed a lot of clay. Currently I have 80 each of Waterleaf and Fireblossom, 120 pots each of Moonglow/Daybloom/Blinkroot, and 160 pots of Deathweed (since you can only harvest that on blood moons, although you tend to get more seeds).
I will say that for anyone trying to figure out how to set up their pots so they get roughly equal amounts of everything, Blinkroot needs by far the least amount of pots since it grows so quickly, followed by Daybloom. Waterleaf grows pretty fast as well, a lot faster than Fireblossom. Moonglow seems to be just as slow as Fireblossom. Deathweed is obviously a special case, but I'd guess that anywhere between 50-75% of my pots are ready to bloom by the time blood moon rolls around and they almost always yield 2-3 seeds per harvest so I don't think you really need that many unless you want to stockpile seeds so you can just harvest the plants whenever you need them regardless of blood moon.
I have held off on putting my big alchemy lab atop the tower in case they add anything to gardening in 1.06, but I kinda doubt they will. Actually, has anyone built a Coral farm yet? I was thinking a layer of sand covered with 2 spaces of water, with wooden platforms on top. Not that coral is that hard to get but it would make it a lot easier than running all the way to the ocean.

They are adding Cursed, Poisoned and Darkness status effects in the next patch, so some type of curative potion is probably in the works. However, they have plenty of material combinations so I don't think we'll see any new herbs. I think we'll probably see those status cures use a more common herb like Blinkroot or Dayglow. They MIGHT add a new mushroom type, but that's just my personal thought.
As for Coral, we have an aquarium set up on the GAF server if you want to take a look at it. It's a big glass rectangle with 1 row of sand (I think it's 1) and lots of water above it. I think your planned farm might be too shallow.

It is now. Haven't seen you posting in this thread so it's hard to know if you've abandoned it or not. Thanks for updating it.

Assuming you havent done anything else, you need a workbench... which you have to craft anyway (its one of the few things you can craft w/o being near a workspace of some sort). Go chop down some wood, then you should be able to make one.
Make sure you talk to the guide. If you're new to the game, the Guide is pretty much the instruction manual for the game.
BTW, to all the new players picking it up and dropping by the server, please remember that the server is pretty much cleared. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A NEW WORLD. But this world won't be made until the next update hits (next few days, probably). If you're new to the game, learn the ropes through single player, and then go to the server after the update hits. You're more than welcome to look around the current server, but really, it might be boring for you to stop by.

alright i suppose i will have to bite at this price...
kamspy said:
Hit escape to open up your inventory, crafting is on the lower left. Once you have enough wood (one good tree should do it) you can build a workbench. Drag that to your hotbar and click to place it. Stand near the workbench and your crafting menu will grow significantly larger.
Gather Stone and Torches and Iron Ore to build additional crafting furniture.

wrong thread
Okay, I'm 22 hours in and haven't done a single dungeon. I have 4 npcs living in my house (started construction on another). I've stocked up on hearts (12 or so). I have decent armor (silver), got the boomerang, double jump, some regenerating health accessories, 12 lens from those eye things etc...
I think I'm more than ready to progress. Where do I go from here/

The eye will show up on his own after your health is over 10 hearts, you have 4 NPCs and at least 10 defense. If you want to summon him, then yes, you'll need to find a Demon Altar. Usually they're around corruption. It'll have to be night also when you use the eye.
So that's what demon altars look like? I feel like such an idiot now, I've passed by dozens of those wondering where the hell I could find one. I guess I was picturing it would look like some kind of dark purple anvil found only in corruption.
This makes things sooo much easier now.

Picked this up because of the GAF hype and price.

The demon altar looks like an ominous, spiky, black glowing thingy, like a Forgotten Elder God's hand reaching out of the ground, awaiting for some poor schmuck to pass by so it can drag him into eternal damnation.
They aren't neccessarily IN the corruption, but its guaranteed you'll find one in the corruption. They are definitely underground though.
Derrick01 said:
I'm hoping Demon Altars serve some purpose in the future, I usually go to great lengths to build a crafting hall above one 'just in case'.
I NEED SCISSORS said:
It starts off slow because you're just trying to survive (though no where near as evil as Minecraft's first night), but it picks up once you establish a base and get a feel for things. For less than three bucks though, even if you play it for 2 or 3 hours, that's less than half a movie ticket... and that's assuming you don't get hooked like just about everyone who's tried it so far.
