DWG Minecraft server thread

Deathwatch Gaming's very own community-run server. It has seen ups and downs over the two years it has existed, but never has there been a discussion of discontinuing it.

History
First time the switch was flipped August 2010 when Notch released first multiplayer Minecraft survival build. The server has since been moved from Halbera to Birdhunter in spring 2011, and to Zatac in November 2011. Daily backups back to November '11 can be found.

Current situation
The server currently fails to attain critical mass. Drop by IRC!

Metro project
Currently 2.5 kilometers long underground transportation system with a purpose of connecting the original spawn point and future capital city, with stations splattered along the way.

To get capital city planning in progress, a further 2 kilometers have been dug in 3x5 setup. Estimated length 5-6 kilometers, depending on capital city's placement.

Capital city project
Currently in planning stage.

Rules

 * No exploiting. Mob grinders are allowed.


 * /tp and /warp features are restricted to moderators only. Usage only allowed while touring new players on the server, in case toured player dies or gets disconnected and on join appears somewhere else than where he/she got disconnected. In other cases it's used at high discretion, and only if the need is due to server-side problem.


 * Only /spawn available to promote realistic (public) infrastructure and making dying feel more like dying.


 * No spawning of items. You have to get every item through hard work or trade. Special events are an exclusion, but after these kind of events either the world is rollback'd to time before the event or, if feasible, all spawned items are removed.


 * Chests that are marked public (/cpublic), are regarded as community chests, usually used for storing material for community projects. Placing a sign to denote the purpose of the chest is highly recommended (i.e Donated supplies, for the use of project X, etc.).


 * Griefing is a bannable offense. You may appeal (through TS or IRC) to administrator or moderators if you believe that you are innocent or truly accidentally made an act of grief.
