edit: also is there any specific reason why this thread isn't stickied?

I don't think anyone is even breathing heavy yet.

I keep getting told that I'm too disturbed to get in bed so i cannot confirm your exception.

Perhaps its from all the heavy breathing.

I'm not breathing heavy but my cows certainly are...

Hey, I know that I haven't been recently active, just lurking. Figured that people like me that me, who seldom speak and only then think should keep quiet. Could You please whitelist me? Would be much appreciated to see the true BTW world, and take part in it.

I know something needs to be done, because obviously this play-style isn't finding its public.
Either doing something to limit the map size, to centralize the action. A bedrock border or something.
Or going away from Anarchy and restarting in a more friendly style.
What do you think ?

Well, I think that the problem is largely one of activity, so I'd like to give one thing a try before we take more drastic measures:

I've mentioned before wanting to set aside a day where as many of us as possible (myself included) log in and play to kick things off again.

What do you guys think about tomorrow (Saturday) for exactly that purpose? I'm likely going to complete the 1.4.6 port today, and I'll set aside the day for playing.

I think if we get rolling again in such a manner it stands a good chance of habituating folks to playing once again.

I can't I'm gonna be on vacation

I can't I'm gonna be on vacation

I think in this context, positive responses are more relevant than negative ones :)

If people that can make it can speak up so we have an idea of who'll be there, that would be cool. Not much point saying anything if you can't though.

[jorgebonafe]

I haven't had any time to play for a while... First final Uni exams, now I'm away on vacation, so...

Edit. Argh... Didn't see your last post... Ooops....

[FlowerChild]

Well, regardless, I'll be playing tomorrow :)

I'm overdue for a pass through the tech-tree for the mod anyways, and it would be particularly useful for me given I'm in the process of wrapping BTW up at present and it'll allow me to spot any lingering balance issues.

So, if anyone wants to join me, I'll be there come hell or high water ;)

[Pucc]

I do have a free day tomorrow aside from the taxi service I will be providing so should be able to join the festivities.

To add, the game style and map size don't seem to reduce the numbers. I have to admit if, I see 4+ players online I'm more inclined to log on where as if I see only 1-2 I'd be less so. Worryingly if everyone did this it would create a vicious circle of inactivity. Other than that it does appear that people just can't find the time I know I couldn't up until a few days ago.

Edit: apologies couldn't make it got dragged to the pub by returning friends.

[FlowerChild]

Will be logging on soon as I make myself a cup of coffee ;)

[FlowerChild]

Well, that didn't work :)

I spent a good ten hours on yesterday, and there were only a few people that popped on here and there.

So, Batto, I'm open to other options to be sure, but I don't see the ones you listed really helping much. I think it's largely a problem of not having a high enough server population to reach critical mass rather than a matter of the game rules. People largely play SMP to play with other people, and if no one is online, they might not be inclined to join themselves, creating a self-perpetuating cycle.

Would switching to non-anarchy help with that? Potentially, since creative play isn't as dependent on having others online. However, there are already a number of non-anarchy BTW servers out there, so I'm not sure how valuable a service the server would be providing if that was done.

Anyways, feel free to send me a PM or what have you if you want to talk this through.

Well, I just signed you up for something, but it's not the server.

It would be cool to see a few screenshots :) I have always wondered "How would Flowerchild build this?" and, "Wonder what Flowerchilds base looks like?". I come up with some cool machines yeah but you know the mechanics inside and out. Bet you play anarchy like a boss!

Also was reading through some posts and see there is a population issue of a sort, I am probably the most active player on Ehsans server and have the same issue. I am not asking for whitelist because I am so new but I am looking forward to what you guys think will improve your server. I am hoping that you will open it up for players like me by making it a little easier to get in on the action. Big fan of BTW.

Updated to 4.42

[FlowerChild]

...and 4.5 :)

[FlowerChild]

Ok, I'm going to stop posting update messages and just change the thread title when I update to a new version.

I do so a few minutes after releasing, so you can be fairly certain this server is always running the latest version of BTW :)

[AngelWithDirtyHands]

I haven't been on much recently, because I've had extremely intermittent internet access, and exams to prepare for :( I should be back more regularly from about the end of the month, though! :D Exams will be over and I should be spending more time at home/at my friend's, where there is internet :P
