Growing Pains


I'll post things here so that I stop repeating/apologizing for them :P. Just a couple of notes:

I'm still trying to get things a little more stable on the server. I'm so close to being able to ditch hamachi, but there seems to be a bug that causes my network adapter on the server to stop responding after a non-hamachi connection attempt. It stays disabled (brings down minecraft, hamachi, internet, everything) until the computer is rebooted. Apparently other people are having this issue too, so I'm not sure if it's one that I'll be able to resolve. If anybody has any ideas / luck on the forums, let me know. Otherwise, if you see hamachi down, it's probably because I'm still trying to troubleshoot this. Just email/skype at me and I'll cut it out :)

Also - it's still possible that minecraft is responsible for some of my connection woes. For now, the workaround is that I can reboot it from time to time to keep things working. Sorry for any interruptions (they should always be quite brief, again email to check, and if I don't respond immediately, then something actually fishy is going on). Also, while it looks like my current internet package is just sufficient to host a small server, my upstream bandwidth should be doubling next month, and that should help with the lag (especially when people explore new territory / just log in). Hopefully that resolves these issues wholesale... but otherwise, we can look for other options.
