Still Summa~..........?

Nothing to do...basically.

After I recently found out my cracked version of Minecraft could let me play on cracked servers, well, since then, my Minecraft experience hasn't been the same. I have mixed feelings about various servers though; I've had my share of various acts of unfairness.

I guess it all started when one of my friends opened a server about two weeks before my school's finals. Here, finals count more than 50% of the grade, unlike other schools in USA; one school one of my friend attends have finals only accounting for 10%. That pretty...warped. But anyway, a whole group of us suddenly got addicted to Minecraft because of the server, and we would play it through the night even on the days of the finals. More than once we played right before a final at school. It wasn't too bad.

After our finals ended, school was over. It was my last official day at my school, and I was already missing everything. That very weekend I went on a trip, and came back on Sunday and found out all about something quite...explosive.

Apparently, one of our friends, on the server, had decided to...try a scheme to get a huge amount of money and stole enchanted tools from the rest of the group to sell on our server market. He had a house in the clouds, covering much of the land from skylight but often falling down and killing himself. Suspicions arose among the server members, and four of them decided to investigate and created a pathway to the cobblestone, one-layer dimension above.

What they found angered them. Heaps of weapons, armor, and various other goodies in the chests. Somehow they managed to attack and take all his stuff, which prompted this guy to somehow obtain or create tons of TNT and link it all around the spawn point, where various buildings including my old treehouse (basically a floating house with only a farm underneath by then, for after someone had broken in and stolen my ores and my painting, prompting me to move to another location far, far away) were located, and detonated them all at once. In the process, he somehow managed to find my hidden enchantment library, and thinking it was a stronghold for whatever reason, took the chance to blow that up as well. Immediately after, he took some lava and poured it upon a wooden house created by one of our more innocent members on the server, burning it up, although according to the owner, the lava had missed most of his items. In the end, the server owner shut the server down and created a new server with a whitelist that kept intruders out.

Simple? After I came to know all this, I laughed for a good while, regretting the fact that I had missed this spectacle. I sure would have liked to see that all go down. Heh.

So now, most of us are on the new server. Living happily ever after? Well, maybe I am; after having been granted God Mode and temporary flying powers to build a structure, I was pretty much ready to enjoy another chapter of Minecraft. I await the next hour the server comes back on.

For now though, I've been busy torrenting and trying out another server called KingsCrafters. Had a hard time adjusting initially, although I think I've got a stronger grasp on my surroundings now. I yet have to use the economy there though. Honestly, though...Minecraft servers do have problems.
