What's going on!

Don't halt testing - this game was great fun. "Hackers"/twats were only a minor inconvenience as they'd be kicked out.

I think you'll lose followers by halting testing. Was just getting well into this game!

So Puh-lease!

Peace.

yea i mean he could do the tests without turning the server off

yeah, i started playing the game yesterday, and now im hooked, when it wouldent let me in i was devo D:, but who knows, maybe hes putting in some awesome updates or osmehting :D, i do wish theyd bring back the list tho

^ This. This would be amazing. I've been quite sick lately and I'm not even allowed to leave the house so I've been playing this into the wee hours of the night. Until last night when i went to bed pretty early. If I would have know it would have been my last play for a while, I would have played for a lot longer.

Well, I haven't even played it yet but it looks really fun, I really want a go. But still, read this. I pasted this from the site:

Hey guys, beta testing is on hold while the netcode undergoes a rewrite. I hope to make a stronger release in the future, hopefully with nice new features, so I hope you guys stick around.

Later!
Ben

dose he say when itll be back?

He could just be adding something to the game that would mess up the Servers while we are playing so he had to shut them down.

i hope he doesent take the game off for good, and make people pay to play, like notch did with minecraft...wich btw fucked it over, that greedy asshole, youd think like over 1 million dollars in 1 night would be enough for 1 man...but no, not notch

Plumb, you know something about his financial? When you dedicate yourself for years to make a game, that gains popularity, it is absolutely right to ask money for it. He has 100% right to do so. And I'm not a fanboy, I just think he has right to get money for his work. What should he live with, tell me that Plumb? He quit his job to give it all to minecraft.. I guess you can just live without money with some Harry PotterGreatUberSkills.

/agree. A man should be able to reap the rewards of his labor!

Ben has turned the master server off as he needs it to recode the game.

BETA was only a preview of the game! Just wait until the next release comes out.

Donate to him to help out.

jesseQ, i know what ur getting at, but, u say he quit hes job to give hes all to minecraft...up untill now, he hardly even worked on it, hees been working on making other games, a little while ago, maybe a bit after beta, he pretty uch stopped updating minecraft for a few weeks, maybe a pixel change in a dirt block every now and then, but nothing compared to the old not so "secret friday update" that he used to have

ever seen "http://meanwhileatmojang.ytmnd.com/" ... and youd know what im on about

This game is a great stress reliever. I am gonna go mad without it D:

If the ENTIRE netcode is undergoing a rewrite, it'll be at least two weeks before he starts up the servers again. This really pisses me off.

Two weeks? Holy fuck a duck.

It might as well take that long. Otherwise, he wouldn't have removed the Server List.

2 weeks??? D: D: D:

#1 ~ I'll never pay for this game. The fun of the game is that it's so SIMPLE and EASY to get going.
#2 ~ WHY FUCKING TAKE the servers down
#3 ~ This forum is terrible!
#4 ~ 2 weeks? WANKERfuck.

2 weeks?

Fucking idiot, update the damn thing and when the update is FINISHED, you take down the servers to update it.

^This

The least he could've done was give us a 3 day warning or something, not turn it off 1 day before the weekends.

Server fix patch for AoS 0.35 has been created by some fine fellows. I have no idea if this is permissible on the forum but I am going to post a link anyways. http://mango12.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12425

You have to register to snag it. I'd post a public download of it but the creator has asked people not to and so I respect that. This will patch the server.exe so it doesn't need to query the master server. You can then use aos://######### links to join the game. Hopefully this will keep people happy for the weekend.

The real server list is located here: http://ace-spades.com/?page_id=5

Beta is down and wont activate Till its running back up.

Someone should confirm if what Buffet posted works or not. I tried it but i made it to the point where it says full or misconfig and where I can make a server for only myself. But I never made a server where everyone can join before so I can't really confirm if it works or not.

His name is buffet of lies... dont trust him

It does work. It patches it and all, but then I can't get it to login, when I connect with my AoS url, can somebody try it please?

My AoS URL (I am portforwarded) is

aos://2556167766

I guess. But someone really needs to confirm if he is actually lying.

Paro, It didnt work for me :[. Full or misconfig

He isn't lying. I downloaded the NoMaster patch and it works perfectly, I just don't seem to be able to connect to myself.

You can connect to yourself by using aos://16777343, the only thing is that we need to find a way to connect others in by using the # in your server.exe

I tried it, connecting to my self using that URL doesn't work, which makes me sad.

I can't find a reason as to why it won't connect
