Minecraft - considering getting a server

So the wife and I are considering running a minecraft server (20 slot), its $15/mo so we're trying to judge if we can get interest from our various gaming friends. Obviously there would be alot of ground rules to prevent abuse of each others creations and such.

For those wondering wtf is Minecraft, its a sandbox game where you mine materials and build by day and survive zombie attacks by night. Probably the simpilest description to a rather complex game I can give. The graphics are very old school pixelated looking but the game is a ton of fun.

Let me know who is interested and I'll keep everyone posted.

New server is purchased it is

New server is purchased it is whitelisted so only people we invite can join, if youre interested post your minecraft username and we'll add you. I'll post the IP and rules once we sort out some techinicial issues.

Its a very addicting game, it doesn't look that great but it is fun. One thing we've considered is getting a "community account" so that others can try the game free to see if they like it, not sure if we will or not tho.

Debating on going back to multilayer

Hey, ^_^ here. I would like to visit your server. I'm on the lines of whatever or not of joining a online server. I used to be part of one, but I went back to single player because of one reasons that I fear all servers deal with....

Map Resets

I invest a lot of time with my minecraft world. That is one of the neat things of playing on single player. I control my world and what not. But with online, I can't control it. It's under the trust of the server admin and it's up to him to backup, keep it from reseting and occasionally map it. Oh... I go by Renbail in minecraft. I'm planning on not going by ^_^ anymore now.

cool, I intend on backing the server up once every night or so, in case of resets so that its not too devastating if it does happen

perhaps thread necro, but I was hoping WKH might have a MC server hangout. Looking for somewhere to build and just be creative with a few peeps to hang out with.
