that really dosent make any sence farms wont work like they should neither would animal farms?

Im really waiting for intelli to explain it, like take a short break from # > and color...

i just dont understand how less farm growth and less animals is a good thing.

Pand: this is from another thread. Don't know if this helps you at all? Jdankk confirmed that I understood it/shared it correctly.

So, this is what I got from in game convo with, Intelli.

He's made it so less mobs spawn, which reduces lag, and results in more mobs overall.
He has decreased the attempted mob spawn rate from 20/second default to 1/second. The mob limit is currently 5 mobs in a 6x6x6 area.
Also, he's made it so mobs farther away from a player don't spawn, but this does not cause more mobs to spawn closer to a player.
Also, use torches where you don't want hostile mobs to spawn.

Also, I've posted in a couple of places regarding the crop growth rate and others have also mentioned it is an issue. I asked Ael and Intelli in game if it will be tweaked (I know it can from reading info re craftbukkit++). Intelli said "probably" but so far it doesn't seem anything has changed.

I end up going afk in my 36 plant wheat farm for hours to get it to all grow

Overall, I really like the cb++ changes, but I hope we can get both animal and plant farms working well again.


AND OP:

Shock: I'm still here
jk, I know what you mean, I've seen it with many games over the years. Video game communities change. You get very tight knit groups for short periods of time, and its hard sometimes to see them evolve/dissolve. But you are a fun guy so I hope you will continue to find MineRealm a fun place to play. And knowing you are Jesse makes me grin, cuz 2 of my most favorite people in the world have that name.

Oh, and just in the spirit of full disclosure, my real name is...... Jen
Though, I bet Intelli saw "Aaron" when I donated :shock: Benes of being married almost 18 years, my accounts are my accounts and his accounts are my accounts :lol:

It's just a game. And, like any game, it will eventually get old, unsupported and probably fairly forgotten. Dedicated servers will go down and eventually it will be a couple diehards playing it in LAN on emulators.

I just feel that honestly some people are becoming too attached to the server, and the community. Never forget that the "veteran" you know and love on the server is some anonymous person, probably thousands of miles away, that you will never meet or know anything about.

I agree with Emershaan though. Nothing good can come from threads like these.

I understand this. Maybe you are right, I am to attached to minerealm, minecraft...whatever. But I would like to drag the best of times out as long as possible. Sorry If this came across as a hate thread, these thoughts have been going around my head for weeks now, just wanted to share.

EDIT: Sorry about my posts intelli, I became a bit heated once I started typing.

My observations were not particularly just of this server, but the general gaming and internet society as a whole. People are beginning to equate online friends with real life friends, and I find that troubling.

As for the server, I don't feel like it's lost much. It's definitely different than it was when I started 7 months ago, but I don't feel that it's gone downhill.

im with Shock, Shock why aren't you a veteran you've been on a long time... and immature newbies are really pissing me off, especially there effort at humour Over world PvP is full of people that just /home /trade /spawn, its for noobs who can't trust there abilities to survive in the nether. I completely agree with all your statements Shock

[xShockWavex]

Fritter, in my opinion.
If the people on your favorite game are the ones keeping your boat on top of water, to hell what anyone else thinks.

I may have become attached to the way things were in 3.0... I am slowly adapting to the new people and such. I may create a thread called "The Past, the Now, the Future." to help me vent some frustrations.

The focus here is on the server, the map, and the economy. Not on the community. That is why there really is no community. Join any real community and see what I'm talking about.

For the most part everyone hates everyone else here. You can only stick around so long in an environment like that.
