Yes, I just gave everybody ops (every username I could remember, anyway; I don't recall Jonatan's). You can say "/help" for a list of commands (which need to be prefixed with /). Some of them are cut off due to the small screen size.

I wish I had made it closer to the spawn point. It's on bamccaig's server to the north west along the coast.

What you need to do is create an illustration of a stapler.

I been on and off as well. Basically, whenever I have time to put into it.

Notch's sales have surely been increasing a LOT over the past months. One of my Minecraft videos on YT shows in the graph a fast growth in viewers; looks like the popularity of this game is going through a snowball effect.

Sadly, I just grew tired of it for the moment. Waiting for the next patch to come out, only to have some new item or a new resource which sometimes requires you to generate a new map. I understand it's normal since it is in Alpha State. I guess I'll just wait a month or two and create a new world, checking out all the new stuff at once.

_{And maybe multiplayer will work fine. :P}

*cough*Open-ended gameplay*cough*

IIRC, it was several months before anybody twigged to the fact that Myst was anything more than that.

I know, he's living the dream! I'm still waiting, patiently, on more updates.

Apparently his Web site can only handle one registration at a time. It's pretty cool that he's turning his venture into a company. Also, if you have real game developer skills you might want to read his recent blog posts, as he might not have filled all positions yet. I wonder if I'd have sufficient skills for the Web developer position, but then I suppose not. Not to mention, I'd have to move to Sweden. Hopefully the company is successful while remaining true to the community.

** EDIT **

Is anybody still playing on the server? I haven't seen much activity for days, if not over a week. The server seems to be somewhat unstable still and even with 700 MB it still seems to run out of memory, etc. I was noticing lag on the VM all day today and though there doesn't seem to be any concrete proof that minecraft is the culprit, it's a pretty good candidate.

If nobody is using the server anymore then I'll just publish the existing world and stop it.

If anybody is interested:

In unices, you can extract with gunzip and tar (or probably just tar):

wget http://www.castopulence.org/tmp/minecraft-world.tgz -O- | \
        gunzip | tar -xv
# OR
wget http://www.castopulence.org/tmp/minecraft-world.tgz -O- | \
        tar -xvz

In Windows, your best bet is 7-Zip, which I find extracts all archive formats faster than others anyway.

I just haven't been playing at all. Too many other games to play.
