It is sad that the only server related to GTM is a creative server pretending to be a survival one.
Apart from the really old stuff, our builds are 100% built from mined resources.

As if the mob nerfs weren't enough.

It's creative in the sense that there is no destruction--no griefing or PvP, and creepers still explode but don't destroy blocks--but you still have to work to build things.  FB (TrixyFrog) and I have been working on that ziggurat for months, since we first joined the server, and it's still not done.
 
I would call it "friendly survival".  Not normal survival, but not creative mode either.  I'm happy with it--it's really nice having protection from griefing.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

I'd call it cotton wool.

I'd call it social survival. It's as much about the community as it is building and fighting. If you like combat, try the new mob arena or go spelunking, maybe in the nether. If you like hanging out, build a home and get to know everyone. If you like to build, dig a mine to get the materials and build away.

I'd have to ask why such a server is considered sad. What do you want? No building at all? PvP only? Perma-death? About the so-called mob nerfs; we prevent creepers from blowing up your stuff, so I guess you like rebuilding time and again? It's not like playing offline where you can almost always control whether creepers blow up on your house. With multiple people on at all hours, someone can accidentally (or intentionally) have a creeper blow up near your stuff and leave you to log in to a hole in your wall. That happened to me a few times before the 'mob nerf.' Creepers can and will still kill you so it's not like the explode in cookies or something.

I also have to ask what on Earth 'cotton wool' is supposed to mean in reference to the server. That was completely out of left field.  :confused:

TBH, I find it a little annoying that you only come on GTM to advertise your server. Just my thoughts, while they're relevant.

Point taken. I'll stay away unless I have something else to say.

I like servers with a nice balance of PvP and PvE that does end up in stuff like permabans from admins for being too rough or idestructable houses.
 
I like servers where thing aren't static or easy mode.
 
Hell, I mostly play vechs maps in Single player nowadays.

Yet if I made a server and told you about it here, what would you say then?
It's a Minecraft thread, Minecraft IS servers.

I don't mind talking about servers, but this thread was filled with posts about a single server, and it seemed that Alphaism only posted to advertise his server. But that's just my opinion.

TRB does have a point. Plus, SM, Minecraft is not just servers. People should be posting structures they've made as well, and it's been way too long since I've seen that on this thread.

What I'm saying is that Minecraft has developed into a primarily Multiplayer game.
Also, since every world is multiplayer now, they are all "servers".
I'm glad Alpha advertised here, otherwise I wouldn't have found the server in the first place.

The problem, in my eyes, is that it seems like Alphaism is using this thread to advertise his server, and nothing else. This clutters the thread, and means that there's almost nothing here for people who don't use the server. Maybe there should be a separate thread for his server? That seems to be the best solution, IMO.

@S_M
I hardly ever play on servers, so I guess it's how you play it.

Well, since no-one is talking about other stuff, I don't see your point. If you want to show your creations etc. you can.

If you play at all now, you are own your own private server.

Well, it runs like a server, but I wouldn't open it to anyone else, so it's not really a server if only you ever play on it. Besides, I'm still on 1.2.5.

And I don't see what your point is, why does it matter if my world is a server? I'm not talking about all servers, I'm talking about this 1 server that's talking up the whole thread.

Whatever, I've stopped caring, to be honest.

My point is, if it is to do with Minecraft, it goes in this thread. We don't need MORE threads.

Okay, I suggest everyone play SH 14: Waking Up.

SM...define 'server'. Just as a word, not in any kind of context.
