Whiskey Media's Official Minecraft Server

Server status: [Online]

HEY EVERYONE X2, FUCK

Server is brand new again! Again! And again!

SERVER RULES

  • Must be 18 or older.
  • Must be a member of Giant Bomb. Must have been a member for more than a month. Don't tell your cousin's nephew about the server; I won't add him. Ask me, and maybe I'll make an exception. They still need to be 18 or older.
  • Don't touch other people's things unless given permission by them.
  • Do not build view-destroying sky castles or sky bridges.[1]
  • Don't pour lava from high places, it's ugly and difficult to manage. Don't build your name out of blocks. Don't build a giant stickman taking a piss. Don't build something really out-of-character near or in someone's themed town.[2]
  • Do not attempt to deconstruct others' works if you feel they have broken the rules. Tell me, then I'll look into it.
  • Do not pester or bully new users.
  • Do not burn trees down. Fire spreads.
  • If you leave the server for over a month and have a project that is unfinished and that blocks usable space, then it will be taken down, unless a sign is erected saying when you will be back.
  • Minecart tracks are to be built at least 15 blocks underground, so as to not disrupt the view or clutter up possible building space (kinda like the real world), unless your project makes more sense above ground. Ask if you're unsure.
  • Portals do indeed work, and they take you to the Nether, but please refrain form building too many. There are a couple set up in each major city, but too many and things will get out of control.
  • Have common sense.

[1]
If you're wondering why there's a rule against this, it comes from me playing the game awhile. Basically: every new user wants to create a floating city, or a railway, or an air-bridge, or a floating castle. In moderation, they could be great (and yours could be one of the good ones), but in reality, every single person has given up on them, in the process creating a really generic hunk of view-destroying rock. It's basically just me trying to keep the server looking nice.
[2]
This may seem confusing at first. Basically, you can build wherever you want, as long as there's room, and as long as you don't disturb anyone's stuff. If you're unsure about building something somewhere, just ask around.

How to Get in

  • Read the rules above. Private message me questions if you have them.
  • I'd prefer a private message, but you could just comment here and request to be whitelisted. Make sure you tell me your Minecraft name!
  • Put 207.210.253.107 into the "Multiplayer" section from Minecraft's main menu; put whatever you want for the name of the server.

There has been kind of a deluge of games lately. I still have to "beat" Rock of Ages, I just bought the new Humble Bundle, and I've got Dead Island coming to me from Gamefly, so I may be scarce here pretty soon. What's everyone else been playing lately?

Exclamation : Knights of the Old Republic is of phenomenal quality, shame on you for only getting to it now, meatbag.

Inquiry : Will you be picking up The Old Republic Online when it comes out? Will anyone else? Should we all play together?

I built a cactus 'fence' around one of my production holdouts.  I then get on the roof and shoot an arrow at an Enderman wandering around the desert.  He teleports right to me, statys at gournd level, and grinds into the cactus!  Funny enderman!

@Shademonger: I've beat Gears 3, and I've been playing a bit of World in Conflict. Also, I agree with the Mount Rushmore idea.

@DaddyTin: Haha, that's great.

I have to say, when the new games start coming out I think I'll disappear from the Internet for a while. Especially when Saint's Row: The Third hits.

Yeah, I've been scarce due to responsibilities and my free time being (currently) filled by the BF3 beta. Guess what guys, unless you have a stellar PC it will make you sad with the realization that, surprise surprise, you'll need new hardware to run it at a decent clip. I suspect we all be inconsistent while the most busy release period of the year is hitting, but hey, minecraft is always a good fallback and will have plenty of updates by the time things quiet down.

I can only think of two things - log out and then log back in to your Minecraft account, or reinstall Minecraft.

Also, a random question, does anyone ever take a minute to think back to how Minecraft, especially SMP, used to be? God, I remember my first foray into SMP on the Tested Server, with un-killable animals, weird leaf decay, no mobs...

It's come a very long way.

Now it says Outdated Server. Thought maybe a newer version (1.8.2 or 1.9) was out but mine is still 1.8.1.

Working on it still, everyone. They reinstalled the entire server, plus moved it to a new machine, yet it's still throwing the same "End of stream" error at me. What the hell...

Nah, that's just 'cause they moved the server to another machine. Just replace the last three digits of the IP with "191" and you'll see you get the same ol' "End of stream." Figured there wasn't much of a point in telling everyone about the change just yet. Also, it's probably going to move yet-again, because for some reason they think that might fix the problems (they may be retarded).

Well, in the interim, I caved and picked up Gears of War 3, so if any of you would like to give Horde (my new favorite multiplayer experience) a go with me, my gamertag is Shademonger, same as here.

Hey guys, is it working for you? When I try to log in I just get a black screen, and I'm not sure if it's my computer or not. Try it out and let me know.

Jesus, everyone... I don't know what to say. So, the server works now, and that's good.

I'll just put it bluntly, though: the current server world is gone, and the backups are gone. I made a backup as soon as the world went down, but I absentmindedly erased the backup while doing some quick junk-file cleaning in my Downloads folder. I didn't even realize what I'd done until I got word the server was working a couple hours ago. The machine the server is stored on was wiped clean and the server was reinstalled, so there's no backup on that machine, either.

I don't mean to make my carelessness sound less foolish, but there's always the fact to consider that --- much like the last 'new' server we started -- this one may have been corrupted the same way, and maybe the only reason the server works now, is because they reinstalled the server and a fresh one is running on it.

So, there's that. Horribly sorry, and a huge bummer, I know.

The server is indeed back up, though.

Here's the new IP: 207.210.253.107

Alright, I just tested the server, and it's not fucking working again. I logged in; it worked fine; I logged out, logged in, and now I'm getting the same old "End of stream." Let me know if it works for you, but man... what the hell?

"Because Magic." is a great reason.

Air Portal to a possible sky dimension? Some kind of oil substance? Boss Mobs, Brewing, Potions...Man, 1.9 hasn't even come out yet and now I want 1.10 to come out.
