I wanted to jot this off real quick before I went to work. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that in my lavish praise of automation for Minecraft in a previous entry, I have obviously not maintained the system which was supposed to keep the server automated. Therefore, understandably, when I started losing interest in Hexxit (and ran into problems I simply couldn't fix, such as certain players being unable to log in due to some seriously low pings), I left it running and never really checked in on it after a month.
Today, though, I was looking through the logs and console output and saw something extremely distressing--during a restart of my host, one of the other two servers I run bound to the port I normally bounded the Hexxit server to before the script which kicks Hexxit on started. This apparently happened a few days after the last time I took a look at the server the see how it was going. I am happy to say, though, that the server has been regularly backing up every day and removing the oldest backups day by day--so nothing much has changed since the last time you might have seen it.
I want to be clear to my word--the Hexxit server is back up and like I said before, I have no intention of ever taking it down. It just sorta happened to go down when I wasn't paying attention to it--something I'll be better about taking care of as I love how close most of us worked together to get through the many dungeons, castles and caves we conquered. That's Minecraft multiplayer at its freakin' best, hands down.
As always, you can join the server through the Technic Launcher's Hexxit modpack and joining revisionistfables.com. There's a few plugin changes if I hadn't mentioned previously--wherein I disabled the treecapitator mod because of how much lag it caused. I've also added my little favorite reporting mod ReportRTS, for which I haven't applied the permissions yet and intend to do so when I get home from work.
Until then, though, if you have any questions or concerns, please tell me. Or if something isn't working right (like you can't login, before which I implore you to make sure nobody else in your house is gobbling up your connection before blaming your bad ping on me. The server pings for me, on average 100-140ms and there's no reason if you live in the United States it shouldn't be similar for you).
I hope to see many of you soon!
