Minecraft

I'm gay for Azanor. Thaumcraft is my favorite mod ever.

I think we need a ReR FTB server

My only rules would be that mass mining operations (turtle and quarry) be somehow regulated so we don't end up with big holes in world syndrome.

I would be happy to rent a server for that purpose, once FTB Unleashed updates to 1.6.2 or whatever number they release next. My requirements would be:

1) McFly has to say it is ok. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, I wouldn't feel right just barging in without his blessing.

2) Someone else with more time and knowledge would have to run it. I've got no idea what kinds of restrictions and safeguards you can install on FTB servers, so someone with experience is definitely needed. I'd still have all the access and such of course, but I can't dedicate the time needed to respond to issues promptly, have never used something like MCEdit to fix shit, etc. Someone I trust to do it, like McFly himself if he wanted, or Adebisi (come on, look at that honest face!), etc.

3) Fuck Gregtech. No, seriously, whatever pack is chosen (I lean towards Unleashed, but who knows what will happen with the next release) it cannot have Gregtech. If you want a Gregtech server, you can get one yourself.

4) As Adebisi said, no quarries in the main world. Which means the person administering the server (not me) would have to create a Mystcraft age or two expressly for mining.

5) I have no idea if things like economy mods are capable of being installed on an FTB server, but generally I'd be against them, at least at first. With FTB you can use everything you accumulate somehow, so there shouldn't be any reason to sell materials, and earning money from killing mobs is far too easy to do with FTB as well.

6) Unless someone like McFly were super motivated to make another awesome spawn area, I'd like to start from scratch and see what people create together. However, that might be a bad idea so I am open to comments.

7) If the pack they release doesn't have Thaumcraft and XyCraft, I may want to wait until it does. Those are two of the mods I haven't messed with much in a long time (or ever with XyCraft), so starting a server without them would just make me want to reset it when they were released. I'd also be open to adding/subtracting particular mods if everyone feels strongly about them (although if I really love/hate it, you may be out of luck).

As with the spawn area, obviously I'd like to hear what people actually want to play as opposed to what I think would be best, but those are my general feelings.

Thoughts? Interest? If only 3 people would play it there's really no point. I know it will eventually end up that way, but that's inevitable with Minecraft. I have the urge to play FTB again once they upgrade, so I'd happily spend a few bucks to share the experience.

I have no idea what servers are available, but hopefully the ones that could run FTB wouldn't be too outrageously priced. Sucks that yet another update to vanilla is coming, it could be months before FTB hits 1.7. Might be worth it to use 1.5.2 for a few months then, everyone would be burnt out by the next update anyway.

So, no IC2 on the 1.7 server then either?! Fuck I hate that guy, sucks he's on a mod that is pretty much a tent-pole of most packs. But seriously, with Thermal Expansion and all the other crazy mods out there I haven't even tried, is it possible to do without IC2 easily?

Holy fuck FTB needs to release a 1.6.2 version soon (with XyCraft). I'm watching Direwolf's Forgecraft2 videos every day, and I'm dying to play. They've got so much awesome shit, with both Thaumcraft and Ars Magica, Tinker's, Applied Energistics, Morph, etc...all of which I've never played, or in the case of Thaumcraft, never played in its current form. But if I start playing 1.5.2, it won't have everything I'm watching him play, and I might get burnt out again when 1.6.2 releases. I want so much to be playing it! FUCK!!!
