I, as well. Without cheats, that is.

I doubt that's true based on the amount of bedrock mining I've seen that you've done! I've had pretty bad luck myself too though. Those are all Jabber's tools, of course.

Are you building any more rail lines? I still haven't seen the one going north (?) of Mt James. I have nearly a full stack of iron blocks lost somewhere underground if you need some. I just need to find it :(

Meow's building a nice tower.

They're not all mine, surely? I only put 1/2 - 1/3 of those there. The rest I presumed were TMC's. I think some may also be GWLs.

Maybe a slight exaggeration... but not a huge one. :)

The rail line to The Gray is finished (that is my base in the big tundra biome in the far north.) The full ride from Mt. James to The Gray takes about 12 minutes.

My next rail project is to connect the nether portal at The Grey with whichever Nether Portal is closest to Creeperton, but all on the nether side.

I was thinking of protecting it from Ghasts with a mesh of nether fence, and maybe adding a few additional nether portals in-between

Yo, James! I'm in The Gray right now, checking out your cool tower and Nether Fortress. If you need a hand with anything, let me know!

Is the server down for anyone else?

Baconlabs · Post by **Baconlabs** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 2:05 am

I suddenly had a severe amount of lag before I logged off earlier today, for both chat and world interaction. I occasionally got a "communication error" message displayed over the server name when trying to connect.

It just got really really laggy for me and when I disconnected I couldn't reconnect. Was unable to connect earlier too. No idea what the deal is, or if it's related to the recent influx of activity.

SwampTroll · Post by **SwampTroll** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 2:33 am

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing.

Baconlabs · Post by **Baconlabs** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 4:04 am

Interesting point, Giz. There was, what, 6 people on at the same time today?

Meowskivich · Post by **Meowskivich** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 4:15 am

Indeed there were, until I logged off after, what, 5 or 7 hours? lol
It did get really horrendously laggy after I logged back in earlier when it was just the woz and goz on. It was realllllllly wacky too. I'd dig up a spot of sand, and it wouldn't drop the sand block, but I'd hop up on it and run around, then I would suddenly warp back to in front of that sand block, it being back, and the game would act like I was imagining the whole thing. eventually I logged out and tried to get back in but couldn't.

I checked the server logs, and it does seem like there was a big spike of CPU usage that lasted about 8 hours last night. it seems to be back to normal now.

Having six players online at a time only lasted a few minutes in the second hour of the CPU spike, so I don't know if that was the cause.

When I was on yesterday I remember Baconlabs saying something about a world-hole. In my experience world holes are hard on the server, so maybe it was that.

EDIT: Another possibility is that it has nothing to do with our server. Our server is on a shared host, and it is possible that one of the other servers was overloaded or buggy or DDoSed and dragged the rest of the servers on the host down with it.

I guess a good test would to be to get a bunch of us oneline again at the same time and see what happens.

I visited the spawn swamp today, and my goodness, it needs a makeover. I think that will be my next big project after my nether rail is finished.
