Why not just look at the main page, if its still on 3.1.2 tekkit, assume by default the answer is "We're working on it." As giving a timeline is impossible, and if its not listed on the main site as being new, it falls back to the knowledge that they are still working on it. Unless you are asking out of uncertainty on if they are still working on it..and if thats the case, Im PRETTY sure they would make THAT announcement.."We aren't doing tekkit anymore" All posting a non-specific answer such as ""We're working on it." will do is prompt people to go "oh they are talking about it, and therefor its ok to ask questions..sooo they will question "When will it be done?"..

I believe that's called "too much booze".. imaginative story, but impossible to happen. The map doesn't store who put blocks, when and in what order and where that player was when they put it...even if they used a logging plugin like logblock..it doesn't store the avatar themselves that put it, just the name and time. Nothing to do with the avatar of the person. I think you are confusing 'minecraft' with 'the matrix'..

Somehow a pipe got removed, that didnt get removed. Like if for example on mine, creeper explosions repair..but it doesnt know what the pipes are..so after the explosion, and it 'heals' the pipes are there, technically, but not actually there...if you teleport to 33,63,-131 you will see an 'invisible' pipe you can target, but its not showing up..just break it. and it will be fixed.

No, they are not collecting by request and storing information that can be used to disclose personal details that would be in violation. Now if when you joined they was asking for an address, home phone, first and last name, social etc as part of its requirements..then it would be in question if it was in violation.

1.)Collecting and store personal data, and one mentioning it is isn't mutually exclusive. Collecting data is defined as specifically asking for or data collecting such as apps for phones, for the intent of storing it for statistical data or usage. NOT someone saying their name over a chat via their own intent or reasons. Be it minecraft, skype, MSN, yahoo, MIRC, etc. 2.)And compliance with the 'written consent from parents' is under question and isnt currently enforced..as it was drawn up before the advent of facebook and the like. If facebook isn't getting pounded by govt about the lack of written notarized parental consent, I highly doubt a minecraft host of 50 people will. As that very clause is in a suspended state waiting for revisions. 3.) it is only a violation if the data collected was relayed or released by the operator of the site via any public means. It does not cover the child speaking that information himself. (it was proposed to cover that, but was shot down as virtually impossible to dictate the context and prosecute based on such a loose definition of 'speaking publicly' as it also would cover him telling his friend his address via a chat software to come over) So unless you are collecting that data in a pool, without parental consent, with intent to relay that information publicly WITHOUT the parents consent, by posting on an openly public forum, or passing it on to 3rd parties, you are not in violation. With all the holes and revisions that are being discussed for COPPA as its stands is outdated, and totally unenforceable in its current state beyond very specific instances, its usage itself is under question by the government. But you can keep the tinfoil hat on, and worry. I myself will know Im fine.

That only applies if you are collecting personal information on them..not the access to it. Unless you are speaking of the other COPA (not COPPA) it was never passed.

yea sorry didnt mean to get off topic. As for what people want...I have no clue how to answer it After running a server the last 3 years, I cant seem to narrow down a "list" of what everyone wants as a collective inside the MC community. I dont think there is a "swiss army" of mods and plugins that will fit everyone, and not even one that fits "most of the people" Anything I have, some love, some hate. Anything I don't have some leave because I don't have it, others threaten TO leave if I add it. So best advice I can give, do what I did. Make a server YOU would like playing on. As its the type you would know how to manage well, as its a personal experience then of what works well and doesnt. And it will bring in people that like that also. Because if your adding things your don't enjoy personally, you have no gauge of how well its actually working, or what would make it 'feel better' in a tweak of it. For me, my servers the way I would enjoy one being, if I went looking for one to play on. We don't get HUGE numbers of players..but also thats one of the points I like about it. I rather have 50 members that play well together, get along as friends, and enjoy the time they play..than having 5000 that fight, argue, constantly harassing mods and admins about "so and so is doing X,HELP ME!" I have no urge to be the "biggest and best" MC server. Bragging rights means nothing to me, if I hate running it, 1/2 the people playing aren't having all the fun they COULD be, and every member is just a stat to me, instead of a real person I talk to and get to know..

Same here. While i know many many kids play minecraft (Mine do also). I prefer members of my server be over 18. It narrows down the choices of members a LOT for us. But I have 2 kids, I don't need to babysit someones elses, because their parents are using the internet as a "go find something to do" babysitter. And granted, we have met quite a few that was under 16 that was respectful, and mature. but they are far and few between. so we error on the side of averages and assume you are like the other 95% until you prove otherwise. Its a bad stereotype of teens, but its there for a reason, prove to us you don't fit it Our general rule is "We prefer you to be over 18, but if the question doesn't come up "Wait, how old are you...really?" because of your actions, we never ask your age to need to enforce it. If you come on and type like your texting your friend in math class going "HAI! wut r u guyz up 2?" or "Hi Admin, can I have plz op?? I build real good!" or using a curse words like you just learned them today and want to toss it into every sentence... then we are asking you how old you are, and keeping an eye on you One analogy I make to my members is it's like a christmas dinner..You have the adults table, and the childrens table (usually) So you don't have adults trying to have a relaxing meal catching up on old times, and random kids at the same table going "O..M..G, have any of you seen the new MLP, that stuff is BADASS! who else is a brony here?!" So our server is the 'adults table' its not we hate kids, we have some of our own. we just prefer to hang out with the others liked minded like us to relax on our time off :)

Yea I too hate seeing 30 [Admin] ranks on a server. Dont know how many times I have had people ask me "Are you only an Admin, or the Owner also?" To me thats the only admin. other servers use the rank "Administrator" in the wrong context. In my line of work the Server admins are the ones that have access to the physical server, and the only ones with privileges to change domain user permissions, files, or setup anything on that box. So my servers the same way. One admin, me, the guy that owns/controls the box. So why I have [Admin] and next rank is [Mod] as they only moderate the server, and police the playerbase. Also Im VERY picky about who makes it to a mod, I've had users around for 3 years that still isnt mod. I pick people like I would if I was running a company thinking "who here would act and respond in a way that I would approve of if something needed to be taken care of if I wasnt here" the main 2 rules for making it to mod on my server is: 1. IF you ever ask for mod, you cant have it. You should be willing to help people, and willing to do as a mod would WITHOUT expecting anything for it like mod powers, or a special rank. Most the people that make mod are people that spent a lot of time playing, helping people, answering questions, being friendly because its who they are..not what they are trying to get out of doing it. 2. Getting mod and abusing it you will loose it quickly. You should have the mindset that you are just another players, UNLESS a situation comes up that a normal player cannot deal with, then do what you must to fix it, then go back to playing as if you are just a member. As far as donations, I do the same. I dont give you crap for it IF you donate, its because you want to, not because I bribed your with goodies. I run the server because I want to, and pay for it out of my pocket because I want to. I don't want to feel that Im conning people into paying for something. people ask me "What do I get if I donate" I tell them "The satisfaction of knowing your helping out the server, if thats not enough, then don't donate"

We have no PvP, but if you are ok with that. your welcome to join ZSurvivalist

Or with the above, do as I do with the domain and host. I setup the hosts DNS to redirect all traffic with a type A route from tk.alttabgamers.com to my server IP. SO that way I can have my domain but still redirect diffrent parts to different things..like tk.(address) goes to the server www.(address) goes to my site, ts.(address) goes to a teamspeak server...ect. all with different IP's Another good thing about it, is if any of the IP's change..I dont get that 1-3 day 'waiting period' for everyone's DNS to catch up to the changes..since Im just bouncing them to the IP. any changes I make are immediate.

You are free to come and and check it out Ollie , there is no 'whitelist' approval. getting build rights is automatic once you read the rules on the site.

welcome aboard Apark, if you have any questions just ask in game. someone should be around to help :)

no the mining laser is the hand held laser gun..in certain modes it tears the map up quick

If you come join, and you're going to be gone a while PuppyBlood, Just let us know..the 14 days is only for if we dont know your coming back. We can keep your town up as long as needed. I travel for work too, as well some of our members..so we completely understand being gone for stretches at a time.

A few of us are into it and slowly learning it all, and some of the others are happy when they get a batbox turned the right way..lol Pex is just the permissions plugin for bukkit. And Essentials is what does /spawn, /sethome, /home, and such.

Thanks we try to keep it mature. and any promoting is good promoting :)

WorldGuard or ModifyWorld(part of pex), either of them can do it.

If you arent using a permissions plugin. you only have ops and non ops. if down the road you don't want "all or nothing" permissions, Id pick up a permission plugin.

If you would like to join up, just tell us a bit about you..your age, where your from...the general "get to know you a bit" info :)

I think the best way to find out is to buy one of these..and ask it weekly on updates about the release date

Website: http://www.AltTabGamers.com Server Address: tk.alttabgamers.com To join just post about about yourself here, and join ingame and type /rules! Must give some forewarning, as some people login go "where is all the players?" and leave. We are looking to get our population back up after the bukkit to tekkit move. We lost quite a few casual players. So the population is mainly made up of a handful but loyal long time players scattered across many timezones and playtimes. Hopefully that will change as we get more people. About us and the server: After being around 3+ years running a bukkit (and formerly hmod) server we have decided to go the way of tekkit and sadly lost some players in the transition.. and ready to make new friends! We have just had a recent map reset after getting it all up and ready. This is a 24/7 dedicated server. We never had, and never will, require donations for ranks or powers. That only encourages people to 'pay' for what they get out of it..not because they want to donate. In that regard the server is totally free. Play a day, or a year..you will never be required or asked to donate. Griefing or 'testing the grey area of the rules to annoy others' is not tolerated. Our loyal members enjoyment is the basis of the server. There is 1000's of servers out there, which means someone causing problems on ours, we have no problem making them find a new server to play on. We have always tried to stick with a mature playerbase. We don't worry about being a 'most popular' server. we go for quality over quantity. To be a server that adults enjoy playing on, but also mature enough that if you have children of your own, you feel comfortable with letting them play alone with the other members. At the end of the day, we rather have 50 players that work and play well together, than 500 that make for a hectic, chaotic play experience.. If you can get along well with a 25+ aged crowd, and not be seen as immature, you are more than welcome to join! This is a server where the players are mature and friendly, every block is worked for, not even mods or admin uses /give or any powers to build creations, we only use our powers in situations that call for them, restoring grieved blocks, fixing bugged areas, investigating problem users and taking appropriate actions etc. We truly believe that everyone should mine/earn what they have regardless of rank. Everything you see was mined and built one block at a time. We strive to make the community and playtime enjoyable for our players. This is a "Greylist" server. It is open to everyone. but Guests have no build rights until promoted to Trial. What type of people we are looking for: Mature players that get along well, learn to leave attitude at the door, and can play in a laid back, friendly environment. Mods that are disabled: EE Items that are disabled: Mass Fabricator, Mining Laser, Scrap Boxes, Turtles, Nukes World rules: PvP is off. Map Size 8000x8000 plenty of room to roam! Main Plugins: LWC, Towny, PEX, Essentials, World Guard Custom Plugins: DXChests : Does random hidden chests DXSeasons : its the season bonus, and the zombie full moon DXRoads : endstone under roads in town makes you run faster Other Plugins: Dynmap, Nethrar, World Guard, World Border Think SimCity 4/Sims 2-3/Populous...ect. Houses/Cities that are slowly created by members, something they take pride in building and showing to other players. Or smaller quiet out of the way villages for people that want to be more secluded but still have protection. You can even live ‘In the wild’, as a lone wolf, but also NO protection so hide your valuables well. As LWC doesn’t work in the 'wild'. We are working for a "simulation" server of sorts, we have villages, a main hub, global and personal 24/7 markets..Slowly grow from nothing to a huge city to be proud of! It’s all about building "Cities, Factory Towns, and Villages" by the members of them, working slowly to dig/build/create the cities they can be proud of and call their own, from scratch. a few screenshots, not much to show yet, as its a fresh map, but figured I could toss in some of what we have so far: Spawn area: Spawn Shops for buying/Selling: A few shots of random towns being built:

HA same here...But I figure we are better off without them. Our server is more a "See what you can devise/create/engineer to make impressive machines using logic and problem solving" more than a "see who can AFK and turn sun into diamonds the fastest". :)

OH wasnt say the mods could do anything about it either..was just clarifying I wasnt trying to imply I WAS a mod. was saying its between him and the server admin/staff themselves.

are you on java 6 or 7? it might need 7, updating if you are on 6 will only update to the highest v6
