Housepets minecraft server!

[Senator_Sunburst]

Just by how many people have bought the game (almost 500 thousand people), a fairly large amount.

[Dylan]

Ok, i put the server back up, and it should STAY up.

[FlintTheSquirrel]

Yay! But it is my curfew now so I might not be able to check today.

[Sleet]

I can get into other servers, but not yours. I get the "it's probably down" message. Could it be the fact that there's no one there? It seems I can't join servers with 0 or 1 people in them.

[FlintTheSquirrel]

I try using Alt-F to find it, but no matter what I do, I can not find the server. Was the name changed or something?

[Dylan]

nope, I just realized that when I changed my IP, I forgot to forward my port to the new IP address. OOPS!

[Sleet]

I finally managed to connect, but I didn't have permission to build anything! The server looks so sad and barren. It needs our help!

[FlintTheSquirrel]

Ohh, type /rules and it should tell you how to change rooms. The entrance is prohibited of being changed.

[Sleet]

I see.

...Wow, that place has a lot of stuff. Was that all Housepets! forum members?

[FlintTheSquirrel]

Unfortunately no, we do have some member rooms however but the guestroom has our tower, which has again been tampered with.

[Sleet]

Isn't there a way to make a room that only we can edit? Until then, I'll be messing around Guest if anyone wants to join me.

Also, I remember back when I was trying to get it to work the server was always full, but now it's always empty. What's up with that?

[FlintTheSquirrel]

It is because when the server was down, people started to lose interest and forget, but I am sure it will be up and running again.

And its done!

[FlintTheSquirrel]

Nice one Dylan, great advertising.
You defiantly altered the main world.

[Sleet]

Now that the server is working once again, we need people to build cool stuff on it!

[Dylan]

you don't really need to ask people to do it, it just happens.

[Sleet]

I know, I'm just being silly.

[Teh Brawler]

I know, I'm just being silly.

Sleet, silly? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :3

[Dylan]

our very own minecraft fan server is now called "Housepets! freebuild" ^.^

[FlintTheSquirrel]

Ok, I'll go and check it out. Are there any drastic changes from how it was previously?

[DarkHeartsAndSuch]

Haha! I built two "houses," one in guest and one in mountain. the mountain one is obvious (the tree house next to the castle), but my "hole in the ground" on guest is much harder to find...

[Dylan]

...I WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THE NEW GUEST MAP!!!!

It's so big that it takes two screen shots to see it from above.

[Sleet]

Holy halibut, Bat-Bat! I feel like I want to build something huge, but at the same time I don't want to because it'll just get vandalized. What a conundrum.

[commercial announcer guy voice]
Come one, come all! To the newly finished Transruinal Highroad! The Highroad circles the edge of the ruins, even taking you through them one one section! The Highroad has four rest stops at the corners, complete with rest-baskets! Fall into the water? No problem! The two waterborne stations offer complimentary stairs out underneath them! So come on down and see the sights of the ruins as you travel along the Transruinal Highroad! Observation decks now included on all stations!

[FlintTheSquirrel]

*Ears perk up* I will be right there!

[Sleet]

I've brought with me some pictures of Mountain, the non-public part of the Housepets! server! I've linked them for size.

Here we have the first thing you see when you go to Mountain.

Here's what you see when you look to the left a little bit.

And here's what you see when you look to the right a little bit.

Here's a picture looking back from the other side of the bridge.

Here's a picture over to the right a bit, to give a better view of the boat and sand castle.

Here's a picture of a giant mushroom and a rock garrison, as well as a better view of the national flags. You can see a little of Flint's tree house.

Here's a better view of Flint's tree house from above.

Here you can see the entrance to Dylan's house to the right and my more inconspicuous fox hole. I'll give him some secrecy, so let's look at my den.

Here's part of my front yard, several meters down the hole. You can see my living room through the window.

Here's as close to a full view of my living room as you can get. On the second floor, that's a kitchen on the right and a reading room on the left. Note my totally sweet pawprint carpet.

Down behind the staircase is a passage into my basement. One of the rooms down there is my bathroom, shown here. The ceiling pattern is clouds, if you can't tell from this angle.

And the other room in the basement is my bedroom.

That's all for the tour! There's plenty I didn't show, but I think I at least showed the outside of everything.

[FlintTheSquirrel]

Nice Sleet, I really like those pictures.

Here's what you see when you look to the left a little bit.

These 2 pictures are my favorite. (Bias opinion)
But it is great to see some in game screen-shots to prepare you to play. :3

It's not working for me, it keeps just generating a new level instead of taking me to the server.

Same problem goes for me, it just starts a single player session.

[Dylan]

I'm just taking down the server, I don't know if it will be up for a while or at all....

[Sleet]

Wait, why possibly not at all? Did adding the voice integration mess something up?

[FlintTheSquirrel]

That is a very worrying statement, why can it not just stay on there? I finally finished my house as well.

[notthatlol]

I might be able to host an alpha server.

If I can figure out how to do it.

I mean, My cpu's perfectly capable, I just don't know how to host it.

[notthatlol]

Double post for bump, I got the Alpha server up and running!
