if you go on the minecraft forums, anyone complaining that it's down again is shouted down by all the fanbois
but, it really is time they got this fixed, stop fucking about with the game and once and for all get the damn login servers sorted out

Wot thread? I suck at navigating any forum that isn't beehive :$

:O

That's awesome* :D

* probably. It's blank at the moment but I can imagine what it'd be like :D

If you click Play Offline, you can now get ontot he server.

 

I will re-enable secure online only mode once minecraft.net is back up.

 

The cunts.

Doesn't work, says I'm not white-listed, presumably because I'm trying to connect as "Player".

Hmm - it let me in. I'll turn the whitelist off too.

That works, but I am indeed Player. Dunno if that is stopping anyone else from connecting?

I can see Player moving about on a field on blackness, with a compass and a day/night animation and stuff.

Any idea if/what I can do to make an actual map image show?

Minecraft.net might be back?

Yep it's back. /Fucking/ /Finally/

caer and I are on the server now - but dont show on that map thinger

Right, this minecraft bobbins is it worth me getting it or is everyone over it now? Will I like it, it looks a bit dopey :$

Still not working for me... Boo

It was working earlier, but it's down again now.

One of the threads on the Minecraft Forums mentions that Notch and co at Mojang have gone to GDC (Game Developer's Conference) in San Fransico, leaving nobody with the keys to the server to be able to administer it.

It's a bit like that time when Pete and myself went to Teh Nodnol meet and Teh fell over*, except EVEN MORE FUCKING ANNOYING. Gah.

*This is true, I even tried to restart the server using pocketputty on my phone, but had a) consumed too much alcohol and b) couldn't get a stable data connection to do it.

I can get onto teh server, using the .jar loader (updated)

Hm.. I tried http://minemap.tehforum.co.uk/bin.rar - is that what you meant?

nah - that's the ver1.2 /bin folder - no good now since Kos updated the server
I am using a .jar file (I'll attach it to this post)
my minecraft.exe doesn't seem to work well at all, but the .jar works most often

I'm not over it yet. I still have a massive hole to fill.

How do you use that? I opened the .zip but don't know what to do with it.

what .zip?

I just double-click on the .jar file and it all happens auto-magically

(.jar file is in my main minecraft folder, not sure if that makes any difference though)
