I think it better if someone else do it on their network. If you do it on your own you will make the network slower and server laggier. It's already slow as it is.

Really? It shouldn't be very slow at all? Is it block place/delete lag?

No, it just has a high ping. I never noticed and problems while playing though, only that number high. It is usually about 200 or 300, not sure at the moment though...

P.S. 4th page! :D

Odd, could it be your connection?

Just tested now, usually about 190-230 ms with one player on right now. Oh I forgot to mention, when someone teleports in the server there is a long lag spike to wait out. More or less

Odd, well I am doing some server upgrades, just mainly java updates and plugin stuff, it'll be down for a bit.

That should fix some stuff, the fact that the plugins were either too new or too old definitely has an effect on performance. I'm thinking it will run smoother now, less lag. I had that happen on my server where all my plugins were out of date and I updated each one and it greatly redueced the lag.

----------

Yeah, don't worry, I've run an MC server since 2011

2012 for me... Hahaha, I believe 1.4.7 was what I started with.

The problem is, the server is on 1.5.1, so we can't really update our plugins beyond that, since Bukkit changes a lot of stuff between releases (ARGH!)

Dynmap?

I started playing when 1.5.1 was current (same as this server :) ) and bought the game soon afterwards (I accidentally 'cracked' the game without knowing it due to a glitch :cool: )

I had cracked until 1.7.1 lol... But then I bought it and it was the best thing ever.

Ikr, bukkit killed me with every release because plugins would break or I would have to wait until a certain one was updated. At one point I had 10 worlds and 30 plugins running on the server, and boy was it awesome. ;)

Also, we're responding at like real time to each other's comments lol

I never really liked bukkit...

I once hosted a "free op" server on my MacBook Pro. Each player got level 2 op. It was awesome.
It was a vanilla server, not Bukkit. I got about 20-30 players, with the players heavily taxing the server with tnt and lava and dragons and bla bla. It was awesome and it lasted for a few days, but it was stressful and I gave it up. I started thinking about actually turning it into a full server and I was flipping around changing my goal. One person kept building so I tried bukkit and turning it into a creative server and bla bla bla and ugh it was a mess :p

Also, just to clarify, I started playing at 1.3.x, and really got into it on 1.4. I got my server started at 1.4.7. I went through about 4 worlds before I got to the one I'm using now. I destroyed each of them because I got a little to excited with WorldEdit and, well, TNT pyramids and Lava spheres aren't good ideas.

I love when that happens. If only this forum had live updating threads we could have a swift discussion like a chat without loading different pages.

Maybe the switch to XenForo will introduce that... dunno.

Heh.

Are you still hosting the server or did you give it up?

I stopped using Bukkit and switched to Spigot, or bukkit on drugs. It used bukkit plugins, but was so much more powerful.

I used Spigot too.

I hate this whole.... mess of whatever it is. Bukkit is so terrible that someone else has to make it better... it's ridiculous. Why not just merge them?
In the end they self-destructed... those crazy monkeys running around with their heads off... lol, hopefully Sponge goes right.

Well, I was converting it to be a public server, because it was private, but between this server, school, and my newfound hobby, I haven't had much time to work on it. Its still running 24/7, however it sits vacant and ½ complete.

The biggest issue is that the server is using 1GB of RAM out of the 4GB available, mainly because McMyAdmin needs a license to remove the cap (on RAM and players), which kinda sucks a lot. If you guys would really like a speedboost, it would be nice (for you guys) to chip in $12 on PayPal to get a Pro license. Not a big deal, but just saying. I could not use McMyAdmin, but its kinda a pain and the WebUI is very nice for what it is, just allows me to quickly manage stuff on the fly.

Just don't use it. You don't really need it at all. Just launch the server by command line and use remote desktop or remote SSH to manage it. If you need. It's much better to sacrifice this for much better performance.

Yup, you da bomb!

Also, we have a new status page:

Oh wow a dynmap :eek: YAY! The dynmap is way too squished there though.

I found the link to the actual map so you can see in fullscreen. Here it is:
