Sure, I wouldn't mind checking it out.

So I finally pulled that heavy ass tower from the other side of my bed. Took the monitor cable from my second monitor, discovered it wasn't the right type, grabbed the right one, power cables and mouse from the Reserve (my sister has this box FULL of old ass cables), and hooked it all up. This little cutie is 15-20 years old and runs on an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (1 core @ 2.2Ghz) and 192 MB of RAM. Yes, 1-9-2 MB.

I'm skeptical the motherboard on this dinosaur could even handle an upgrade? This is the motherboard: http://www.mxdatarecovery.net/asus-mothe...v4627.html It can handle up to 2GB of RAM (which I can get for like, 20-30 bucks), but the CPU is weak as all hell. Might not be good?

I kinda have access to another PC, the old touchscreen I used before I built my own, but my dad says he'll take it with him to Mexiland, which is he says he's totally gonna do by the end of the year. Wouldn't last too long~

Holy Lanlanian Empire
Holy Emperor: Feryn I
Prime Minister: Klaus Lofgren
The Holy Lanlanian Empire is a multi-ethnic state based in western Brigidna with territories all across the globe. It is a relic of an older age, an absolute monarchy hidden under a functioning democracy. The empire has historically been the world's leading power, though has long been in decline and was recently overtaken by the Republic of Nyland. Nonetheless, the empire is not an opponent to take lightly.

looooool that's old. If that's the case, I might hijack my parents' broken desktop and use/upgrade that, instead, since it's more powerful (a little?) un-upgraded, and runs on either XP (woohoo) or Vista (*gags*).

Mm, I'm not going to ask you to spend money on this unless we have a plan, you know? Unless you can scrounge that RAM for free somewhere. The main problem with a computer from 15-20 years ago is it might be running, what, Windows 98? Windows ME? It might not be able to run the server software, if that's the case, and fuck if we're going to buy an OS license just for this, amirite? Fully upgraded it sounds like what my old laptop is running at...which I can also further upgrade to 4gb ram. It's not quick with a Centrino whatever mobile processor, but if I spend the time to clear off basically everything, it might run okay.

Regardless, I'm probably going to start off running the server off my desktop, so you lot can hack into all my porn we have a rig that's actually been tested to work as a server even while I'm doing other things (but I'm using a little more memory than back then; I need to fix that soon, too). Of course, since it's on my personal machine & I don't want people I don't know on it, the server's going to be private and only known to us. No sharing the credentials without consent, or I'm shutting it down and waiting until I get a second rig set up.

That's the plan, anyway. I should make some headway sometime this coming week.

It runs XP, interestingly. I do have some extra sticks of RAM lying around, but they're DDR2 while the dinosaur needs DDR. It might be better to just upgrade your parent's or your old laptop (though I read somewhere that laptops aren't good?). The processor on mine is not only old (and single-core), but its maximum RAM'd barely be enough for the bare minimum Mojang recommends.

We should aim for a PC with a dual core processor--adding more RAM is a lot cheaper and easier than upgrading the processor. If neither your parent's desktop or your laptop are dual core, how do you feel about getting a cheap refurbished PC for it? This one doesn't look bad.

In any case, we could tap the donations to help pay for whatever we go with. 8D

Hey, if you want to buy that, go for it. It looks pretty much perfect for our purposes, easily upgraded, and at that price would easily pay itself back on saved server hosting costs in, like, a year at most. If that's the route we want to go, then sure. Unless you really gotta have it now, I'd still recommend waiting on purchasing, because I just remembered one problem: I don't know if I have a dynamic IP or not. Maybe I do, but I'd want to hold off on a devoted rig until I know whether or not I'd need to contact my IP and see how I might switch to a static one (I have a feeling it involves money).

But yeah, if you want one, go for it.

We can wait. That PC may not be available forever, but there's other reasonable cheap ones. Probably. Lemme know when we you're ready for it.

A test server has been set up. It is a generic survival server, for the purposes of testing (and building, of course). No resource packs or mods are currently being used, though look for this to change as testing continues; any changes will be posted in this thread (hopefully ahead of time), so you'll have ample warning.

Please note that I have not set up a basic set of rules for play on the server, yet. One will be made for the future, but you can probably assume that "don't break shit that isn't yours" and "don't be a dick" will be somewhere on that rules list, so please don't be a dick and don't break shit that isn't yours. Yeah.

Also note that this is being hosted on my own network, and my own machine; if problems happen and mess up my connection and my machine, regrettable consequences will follow. There is a whitelist; this means only people I allow can enter the server. Furthermore, I'm only giving connection credentials to people I trust on this forum, and I expect that such credentials will not be shared without my express permission (since I control the whitelist anyway), on pain of death.

If you want the login credentials to the server, PM (or post here, if you want it public) the application below, and they will be sent to you in a PM. The application, the whitelist, and (eventually) the rules will all be plonked into the original post.

Code:
On pain of death, I pledge to not be a dick to others on the EternityRPC Minecraft Server, nor to divulge the login credentials (i.e. IP address, port, et al) of said server to anyone under any circumstances whatsoever.

** edit : also, added server status to the front/original post, so people know. Yeah.
