They're too close together.

Nether compresses space, so any portals too close both link to the same nether portal.

how far apart do they have to be?

Uh, don't remember that much.


Ok, found it - any portals within 1024 blocks (in x/z dimensions) will link to the same nether portal (because Nether is 1/8th the size, and a portal has a "range" of 128 blocks within which it connects, and 8*128 is 1024.

think the server is a bit poorly

Oh how cute! We're all playing minecraft now.

 

So, how is everyone?

Who are you, with your rhyming name? Tea? Jammy Dodger?

What's up?

Oh, could be because I'm borrowing a few things off Jim :$

Not quite what you're after but not that far off either. And still in development.

Whoa, a fucking MotorHead game!?

Oooh... interesting... but that's guns and grenades, and has two teams, and you can't dig below sea level, and there's only one type of block, and there's no crafting, doors, lava, animals, or redstone. Worst of all though, it's got a fucking shit name. :@

If you go to minecraft's website and play it in the browser and tell it to connect to the teh server is it really connecting? I did it but it doesn't look like the real teh world to me.

Probably Darren.

What does it look like?

An easy way to check if you're connecting is to load this page:

Then see if your name pops up when you connect.

If it doesn't, you're probably not on the server.

Thanks, I'm not showing up in the list. So that sucks. Man I don't want to buy this but I'm going to have to.

Well I bought the dumb thing. Better be worth it!

How do I know I'm not in anyone else's space?

Three fucking hours so far and not /one/ piece of iron. wft?

Seconds after I posted this I found iron... so...

 

Three fucking hours so far and not /one/ piece of diamond. wtf?

Go deeeeper.
