Updates on updates

Hey everyone.

First, I'd like to apologize to all of you for being quiet for the last week. I know many of you have been wondering, what's going on with the 1.2 update for the server? Well, read on to find out.
Here's our plan for the next few days:

  1. We're doubling the RAM on the server! These two little babies sitting on my desk will do the trick:


    There will be a couple of hours of downtime tomorrow (and hopefully I won't fry anything while cleaning the dust), after which we should be up and running with a whopping 8 GB on board.
  2. 1.2.3 for the beta server? Yes, it's coming after we take care of the hardware. Expect it on Wednesday.
  3. 1.2.3 for the SMP server? Yes, and it's already here! Send me a PM to get early access.

More info follows, and for timely updates on any of these items be sure to follow our Twitter account. Stay tuned, everyone.

Now we have more memory and less lag, yay! But what is the most awesome is that the SMP server is up! I went on and looked around- is it supposed to be unaltered? The spawn is in the middle of a jungle, and there is no sign of building.... Well, until now. I did go ahead and make a little shelter of whom's location shall not be uttered. Oh wait.... Is it ok that I started building and stuff? .... Well I didn't do that much.... Hrm....

Yes, it's a fresh unaltered 1.2 generated map. You can view the Dynmap here: http://mc.redstone-server.info:8107/
I will be busy building the spawn town (the big flat island in the center). Please feel free to build anywhere outside of it.
I will also compile a FAQ on this server today to address possible questions.

Cheers,

Aaaawwesomee. Can I also please be allowed to help you make the spawn? If possible, I would LOVE to implement my road system. I can show you if you don't remember it.

Or.... you should have the server get the supplies needed by trade of cities, and mining team expeditions. In that case, I can show you all of the dimensions of the road systems like the U-turn, the T and + intersections. Or, you could ignore this whole comment (but that would be a downer on me D:).

Frankly I forgot what your road system was about (sorry!) but we will definitely need a working railway station, and that will be most likely, under spawn. If you have GTalk PM me your address and we could discuss the details there.

Thanks.
