THE GRAALIANS MINECRAFT SERVER IS GOING BYE BYE!?

Apple · 02-21-2012

I heard from Seth Reed that the graalians mc server is running out of the subscription! So I guess this means that the server is done?

Dusty · 02-21-2012

I believe they might open up donations, so I guess it's up to the players one whether it sticks around.

As a minecraft server owner, fp4 is definitely overpaying if he has to pay $90 every quarterly billing. You can find some very cheap Minecraft specific hosts that host 1.5 gigs of ram in the $25~ range.

Here's a few that be worth checking out:
http://www.beastnode.com
http://daddycheese.com

Both of them have very good ratings on bestminecrafthosts as well:

Pretty sure we use Beastnode, though as far as I know it was the zombie plan because when the server first came out it had a fair amount of players. The plan can probably be lowered though, but my main concern is hard disk space. Even with the zombie plan($30/mo) it was only 5GB of space provided. This is very little when you have a lot of players exploring the world. The world itself was 2gb, meaning we couldn't have any automated backup services and sometimes we had to manually clean stuff out to keep the file sizes down.

Still reminded the server lagged balls even if there was no players on and all processes limited. Sounds like the server host went well over their server and network throughput's means.

Edit: And I kept saying to use the mod that caps off the server's exploration area o_o

Ever consider adding a world border? Having one could really help reduce the amount of memory the world has. As for not having enough funds, have you tried lowering the server package fee? Because IMO, the current $30/month donation package is a bit expensive, especially when it almost costs as much as the game itself.

EDIT: Here's a list of my donation packages, if you're looking for ideas http://store.buycraft.net/garretty
