Minecraft - Expired - Server Donations - 4

Not if you host it yourself ^_^.

Exactly what Rufus said. It'll still take a lot of bandwidth, but it'd be coming out of your internet connection. 1) to host a server for a decent amount of players is usually out the capabilities of the average home connection. 2) You'd need a decent dedicated computer to host the server, hosting it on a machine that is actively used will drain away from the very cpu intensive server. 3) Most ISPs don't like people hosting servers very much. They might bottleneck your connection.

Here is what the server that I normally play on's policy:

(We have iConomy and the Chest Shop plugins, so that's what the money is for)

Donator:
~$5/month~
20k ingame
Special donator kit (60 minute cooldown)
MagicCarpet
Ability to wear blocks as hats
The Donator title in game

SuperDonator:
~$10/month~
All Donator powers
30k ingame
Special donator kit (30 minute cooldown)
Can change your display name
The SuperDonator title in game

EliteDonator:
~$25 once~
All SuperDonator powers
50k in game
Special donator kit (15 minute cooldown)
Ability to fly with your own client mod
Ability to change time
Never take fall damage
The EliteDonator title in game

UberDonator:
~$50 once~
All EliteDonator powers
75k in game
Special donator kit (10 minute cooldown)
Never lose money on death
Ability to change time/weather.
Custom rank title of your choice
The UberDonator title in game

The Donator Kit is a kit of Diamond tools (Pick, Axe, and Shovel)
This may seem like a lot, but a lot of people donate.
The best part about this is that the owners don't have to give you the powers, it's just that they trust that you are trusting enough to pay money to people you don't know in real life.

I am all for donators getting benefits, but if they misuse them they get them taken away.

I'm not for donators getting benefits. People should not be able to buy their way into a game. Cosmetic and mostly harmless benefits? Sure. Giving them money and items and other gameplay benefits? No way. We're all a pretty cool little community here, and people seem to be willing to help out regardless.

Donation perks shouldn't effect gameplay. I remember a server I played we're you got access to fly and /spawn commands for donating a lot, and I've seen "free" servers that require donating to be able to set home or leave the main area.

Kinda reminds me of how "free" iclassic is.

I'm letting the server subscription expire unless people want to pool together for the full 90 USD again to keep it up for another 3 months.

MattKan · 02-20-2012

If the server does continue, we need a new map. The current one is terrible. If we can get a new map that's clean, I think we can reestablish a community to build it up and make something nice. Otherwise let the server die.

Supposedly when 1.2 comes out 1.1 maps will already be compatible with 1.2, so the new map should be added now.

Well the moderation on the server is moot- Moderation/Stability based mods on the server are becoming increasingly unstable, the server itself even more so.

Lag is becoming horrible; Poppin' another 90 bucks won't fix it o_o
The searched areas of the server probably became too spread out, despite having the hard drive space- the actual buffers of the server were failing.

I'm bored as ****, and as much as I do crave minecraft; Hate to say it but I'm with the 'let it die out' group.

Most likely scenario- People still use the forums to communicate about Minecraft servers to try and cluster a sizable group together, while also avoiding servers allowing Higbey to use lava, tnt and redstone.

I'll have you know I work on Mattkans server for the graal minecraft movie Pimpsy is working on, I have creative mode and world edit, and I havent gone and blown **** up or created a redstone timebomb or anything. The only destructive things that I have done is when making sets I've occasionally down something too big with world edit and lagged out the server.

If you must have a fully creative server._.

What host are you using for the server?

How about we find a cheaper one and move it to that? :0 $90 is a lot and the current one is crappy. Who has the map files?

VPN hosting is expensive, it's not like web hosting.

Higbey broke the server by spawning a ton of TNT somewhere. Higbey, IM me on either Aim or Skype to put the server up. You're going through the lag to remove it. (Should take a couple hours because of the lag in that area.) Basically anytime anybody goes there, the server lags extremely badly and nearly crashes.

Higbey · 02-22-2012

That was when I was helping mattkan power mine and there was a bug with world edit
