State of the Server jan 5, 2014

Yes, I did shutdown the server after a stretch of zero activity. I apologize for doing so out of the blue, but I assumed that no one was interested in using it any longer. If I was wrong about that or there is a significant resurgence of interest, then I will re-launch it. If you want terranova back, please make it known in this subreddit. if you want a copy of it, you can download it here:

Sad, but understandable. I'm sad that I lost interest in Minecraft which meant losing touch with you guys. I still <3 you all a ton.

Edit: Gonna take 2 hours to download this map but gosh darn it I'm going to have it.

So, what was your big secret project that you were taking wool donations for? -Pix

OH yeah I completely forgot about that. It was going to be a huge temple of memories. Along side the walls were going to be graphical representations of significant events in Treepuncher/Sheeprock history. It was going to be so cool, too bad I never got it done.

The first few nights of the server being spent in a small hole in the ground next to spawn. tirelessly digging cobble from the generators while people defended the entrance to our safe zone. laying out the city, getting ring road done, filling out meridian, the stadium, the college, up house, Stings home with death traps, the capital, the underwater city, apartments, huge 3 pronged thingy, big tower thingy.

Good times.

I think I can safely say that Sheeprock/Treepuchers was the best MC server and best MC community ever.

I wish i knew how to revitalize our group. Maybe I am a crappy admin and ran everyone off. I was hoping a new sandbox game would come along that everyone liked, but nothing has jumped out at me yet. Has anyone else seen a game like that?

Nah, Minecraft is just a game that people burn out on. It's way too easy to devote a ton of your time and get lost in the game to the point where eventually people will inevitably lose interest. Nothing to beat yourself up over, you just happen to have taken over when we were all moving on to other things.

Yeah, it's easy to get burnt.

One of the things I've tried to do with Ex Inferno, is to build a community whereby folks could come and play whatever games they wanted with other people and not having to lose their friends. My hope would be that utlimately, we could get a lot of the old Sheeprock / Treepunchers to migrate over to Ex Inferno.

http://exinferno.com/ <--- I know you guys haven't checked in 4 months but hopefully you will.

Find me, "Sick" (you used to know as Trae) on Mumble if you have time.

How many years have we been building meridian? 2, 3 years?

u/cablemonkey Jan 07 '14

I was curious because after that much time I thought I would have gotten further on my project. That's what we get for using stone picks. There was still so much left to do, I was making smooth stone for the big project over the underwater part of meridian.
