I designed a pretty cool train station system on another server. The cart comes up and waits for about 10 seconds, after-which it goes. If someone gets in it goes right away.

I would build it on the a.cc server but it just takes way too many resources and mining is just super boring. What is the chance allowing a subsidy from the powers that be for a good train system?

What's the world coming to when a person can't be expected to swing at dirt for several hours a day?

I've set up a server at mc.cgamesplay.com. This server doesn't have anything now (except more RAM than the poor VM that mc.baf.cc is on). Later on tonight, I'll add in territory and allow people to claim areas for themselves. This will include a modest amount of space in the central marketplace area, as well as a huge amount of space in the rural areas. In general, if you build something in the city area in the first few days while the server is nubile and volatile, don't get disappointed if a public building takes imminent domain. Later on I'll protect certain parts of the marketplace if you want to run a shop or just crash in the city. If you walk for a minute or two in any direction, though, take as much space as you like.

Once the server gets started and there's some major landmarks and what not, I'll subsidize a public transit system. This means that I'll put rails and roadways in using MCEdit.

Regarding item spawning: None. However, there will be subsidized depots for necessities. I'll provide unlimited quantities of certain items like stone tools, torches, ladders, signs, railways, and redstone. If you want diamond tools, you'll have to go mine for them. I'm undecided about providing unlimited iron tools, but I suspect I won't.

OK, so log onto mc.cgamesplay.com, and go build stuff! I'll be on later on tonight, setting up the central marketplace.

Geez, you guys are really dedicated by consistently playing a game that lags and kicks you off the server all the time. The idea of minecraft sounds fun, but actually playing it doesn't. I remember getting into Dwarven Fortress for a while, but the enemy/combat system kind of sucked.

This one is on EC2, on a small instance (1.7 GB RAM).

The map (not live updated) is here: http://mc.cgamesplay.com/

Got no lag on this server (yet).

No lag on mc.cgamesplay.com here either, but is mc.baf.cc down for good or something?

REVISION: I lied. I break blocks on mc.cgamesplay.com, blocks come back. Bring back BafWorld so I can finish my damn sphere!

I can go and reset the server, but the box that mc.baf.cc is on is actually being phased out. I can provide a full history of the map, though

Can we get a downloadable version of what's on BAF's server, if it is going to be phased out?

Is that everywhere, or just the spawn area? Because that confused me at first, too.

It doesn't always catch up though. Sometimes it will just not notice some blocks you broke while it was being brain dead.
