From Notch's update, it looks like Minecraft.net is taking a bit of a hammering lately whilst they're trying to migrate to the cloud or something. Any luck? Ah, I see, "Worlds must be converted, this may take a while"
I just used yours and it seems to have worked. Come and join. Or possibly not.... why didn't the map transfer properly? Ok I might try and put the old map in again.
Just a little something I knocked up. Christ, no wonder Minecraft.net is slow. The numbers for their forum bring us shame Compared to...
As of right.... NOW! Ahh, scratch that last comment; I can't seem to connect to the minecraft servers. But my server SEEMS to be working, so you can try.
Well woopie. My account is working now. I wonder if they got my email and fixed it without send me a email back. Anyway it's time for some noob 101 on minecraft. I just kicked some sheep's ass. Does that mean I'm winning? And I died. Why did it spawn me on a stinking island?
Spawn points are fixed, so you're better off building a little base and a marker tower there so you can find it again. Important things to have in the beginning are a crafting bench, pickaxes, torches and a furnace. You should try and get wood and coal, and try and Mark your path in case you die again. But basically, first step: punch trees. And find somewhere safe to cower at night.
Well the server is back up and bfun you're free to join it if you want. I will PM you the IP of the server if you do.
Yeah I'll take the IP. Just need a little practice to make myself useful. Dug a cave the first night and built a small castle with glass windows the second night. I need to research more formulas. How do you swim? I drowned twice.
