Have I got a piece of great advice for you! Used to Windows XP/Vista and Ubuntu Linux? Buy a new notebook with Windows 8 pre-loaded, and you'll be sure not to touch Minecraft for a few days because of all the time the computer needs for installing 104 updates and upgrading to Windows 8.1 - time during which you only have to do something a few times, so you can spend most of it on other activities. Once done, you'll probably still need a few days more to work out how to actually do anything in Windows 8.

For some reason, blocks don't drop and I can't open chests. Might just be my sh*tty internet, but could be a server problem.

It's not happening to me. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Nope, but I have experienced it some time ago while having bad internet.

UDS has come up with a great list of potential names we can use for the world. Gave reasons, too:
The spawn island: Ain Reason: Named after Ainland.
Eastern Settlement: City of Mountains Reason: Located in a very mountainous area.
Northern Continent: Atmora Reason: Ask Ava. He'll get a kick out of it.
Mushroom Island: Saprophytem Reason: Derived from "saprophyte."
Western Settlement: Mage's Bay Reason: The most prominent resident.
----------
I like all of them and was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts as to what to call things. "Eastern Settlement" and "Western Settlement" sound too boring, as is just "the island."

Atmora xD That brings back some fond memories of angry bandits trying to kill me
Love the names, though 'City of Mountains' is a bit clinical. I'd suggest something along the lines of Petronatum, Geonopolis, Dinas Carrog or Montivatae.

Ooh, I quite like Montivatae. Hopefully the others who live in the area agree. Could someone with an understanding of latin tell me if "Villa Montae" translate into "The Town of the Mountains" or "Civitas Montae" into "The City of the Mountains."

I'm no great expert, but the latter is correct. I contracted it because I thought it sounds better :P

Alright, perfect. My vote is for Montivatae, then. :D I have nearly zero understanding of Latin, so please excuse my attempt.

Also, getting a lot of LWC Internal Server Error messages :/ What were you doing when you received those error messages? Are they just chat messages or does the server crash with that message?

Mostly when I was trying to put signs up or take them down, they appeared. I lost all my achievements too, but I'm not bothered about that side of things tbh.

If you need a replacement horse, go far to the north, past NAR's outposts. You will be going through forest and taiga, and then it will change to plains. Go a little further and you will happen upon a thin layer of extreme mountains. Keep going and the plains will return, along with an NPC village. This is filled with horses. It's where I got that original one I sold you.

SERVER DOWNTIME:
Something is wrong with the server, and it's going to be offline while I get things sorted out. It will be unavailable for about 24 hours, and possibly longer.
I'm so sorry guys.

Don't apologise; you're doing so much just by having provided a server in the first place!

The server is back online! Things went smoother than expected, and the server should be fixed now.
Thank you for your patience. :)

I wonder if a very specific person realizes that a very specific item is missing...
