Fuse:

Check my post in the begining of this thread for Survival Mode Server details.  Also here are some things you must know before playing Survival:  http://blog.omeganerd.com/newbies


Everyone else:
Could I get some feedback from some of the new users?  What are some things that are confusing right off the bat?  What could we add to the spawn house (on the omeganerd server) that would help you get started faster?  Is there anything you don't know how to do that is irritating?  Any other feedback so far?

I went with a coat-less look.  Hope that's ok.  I can add the coat if you'd like, but with all the white, it might not look very defined.



Here is the file you need to upload to the MC website:

Aw man, Manic's looks much better than my attempt. Haha. Yeah, coat doesn't really read.

Just a reminder, today is the last day that you can buy minecraft alpha.  As of tomorrow the 20th the price goes up to $30 and you won't get free upgrades for life like you do with the alpha version.  If you're on the fence go pick it up now, http://www.minecraft.net or buy a gift code for a friend http://minecraft.net/buy_gift_codes.jsp

800,000+ people can't be wrong!

So things seem pretty laggy.  Is it just me?  I think it might be all the lava and water.

I really should start building stuff above ground.  It's all well and good messing around underground.  But no one can really just stumble upon it.

Got myself a portal created.  Then remembered multiplayer doesn't have access to the Nether.  Hopefully that's just a work in progress.

The server is outdated now with the new update. Cant log in.

[likwidtek]

It's up but be warned it's very unstable.  I'm sure there will be plenty of bug fixes coming.

I can't get it to work on my laptop. Whenever I get to the screen to choose single or multiplayer, it instantly crashes. The browser version flashes to white. I've update Java and everything else for the computer. Grrr...

Lots of people are having trouble with the beta client.  Some of the bug fixes Notch implemented are causing a lot of lag and dropped framerates.  

Updates should be coming fairly quickly, as the community is very vocal right now.  Looks like many of them confused "Beta" with "Gold".

Downloaded another update. I still can't even get into the select screen. I'm guessing my Java is crashing. It's hard to know if this is a beta issue or an issue with my laptop.
