    It was Pompus who let me know the thing had expired and had asked if I could upload the map, so I'd say he'll be up for it too.

    Thanks for setting it up - was great fun while it lasted. :cool:

    Yeah thanks Shim, 'twas a grand server :)

    DG I'm up for hosting it too. Want to go halves?

    When I have time I'll look into a more cost-effective method of hosting. Realms is a bit on the pricey side and doesn't allow for any mods/plugins I think. I hosted a server off my laptop for about a year so I know how to add/manage plugins and such.

    Ok so do you want to do all the legwork and I'll send you €15 for 3 months via paypal?


  • Registered Users Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Pompous


    Or bank transfer if you prefer that

    Haha I thought you were offering to do the legwork :P

    I was fairly happy with realms tbh, it's quick and easy if nothing else!


  • Registered Users Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Pompous


    Yeah I'm happy with Realms too but I don't think I'm willing to pay for it all year round when there are much cheaper options out there.

    I'm offering to do the legwork to (eventually) host us on a server. If you want me to do the legwork to host the Realm you'll have to wait until the weekend because I'm just too busy atm.

    What's it gonna be? :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Pompous


    Scratch that, it'll only take 10 mins. Doing it now. Gonna pay €8 for one month so that's only €4 each :)

    Ok, the Realm is paid for, the map is uploaded, and invites are sent out. Eoin I'll invite you as soon as the world automatically saves. What's your minecraft name?

    Want to pm me your paypal?


  • Registered Users Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Pompous


    Yeah sure


  • Registered Users Posts: 43 tiffbunny


    You know, the two of ye might wanna talk to Dec before you renew Realms... there might be a free server you can use (with a suspiciously familiar IP) to run a small 1.8 map if one of you can do all the back-end server work required.... Nevermind, should have refreshed the page before replying.


    Also, Darkglasses, I'm too mature to make a "quick and easy, yeah I've heard that about you" joke. I just want you all to note that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Pompous


    Lol tiff. Yeah that's a good idea I didn't think of that. I'll talk to Dec about it as soon as I have time or when the Realm expires. Hopefully it will still be available by then. DG feel free to take on the project if you feel up to it :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,569 ✭✭✭EoinHef


    Cheers pompus,username is same as boards: eoinhef


    I know i know,i have no imagination when it comes to user namez:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,569 ✭✭✭EoinHef

    Never used it before:(

    Have a read through cherry, I'm not running the thing anymore :D Thread needs a new title. Or better still, closing and a new one with whoever's running the new thing opened.

    Not good enough! How will I love you :(


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    With vigour and compassion of course!


  • Registered Users Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Pompous


    Can we just pretend it's business as usual and I'll handle the invites? :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Pompous


    Haha. But it's still called Shiminay's Realm! And it says 'A Realm. For People.'

    See? It will always be your realm :p There is no escape!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 14,526 Mod ✭✭✭✭Darkglasses


    So myself and Pomp were just playing, and we're gonna shake up the spawn area a bit. We've removed all the farms from the middle part, and we're going tidy it up into a nice park kinda thing. I'm going to make a town hall where the pond with the teleporter is now. We're planning on moving all the teleporters into the town hall.

    Anyone who wants to place a few (or a lot!) of blocks anywhere along the way, please do! :D


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 14,526 Mod ✭✭✭✭Darkglasses


    Oh also now that the Dragon is dead, I'm going to make an ender pearl farm! We neeeeed them..


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 14,526 Mod ✭✭✭✭Darkglasses


    Ender farm is about half way done, will finish it on Wednesday night


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 4,281 Mod ✭✭✭✭deconduo


    New thread, let me know if you want the title updated to anything, and if you want any details edited in to the first post.

    Have the first post say "If you want in, post your player name here" and "This is really Shiminay's Realm" in really small font :D
