If you are 2 hours ahead of the UK (that is where the server is) then it will be midnight -- 10am won't it?

Lol, yeah I forgot we're ahead. Sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 3 (I think). My brain has been a bit fried lately

Urm fried brains :knife n fork smiley :

I haven't spotted any trouble

Due to the location of the server it can only be online between 10pm and 8am, a little late for the kids perhaps. I might be able to get this extended at the weekends.

Playing on minecraft for credits sounds like a good idea to me!

They sound like sensible times to me (8am--6pm Finnish time) I usually don't allow my kids computer game time on the week days anyway. We'll give it anther shot next weekend. Thanks

Thanks Bob, it worked with the new instructions and the kids were there this weekend (not making trouble I hope), but after a while the server disconnected them and they couldn't connect since. I've just tried it now as well and it's still offline. No worries though, they've been exploring other worlds in the mean time. I'm a tempted to get into this game, but I'm a little busy with Uni now. I could look into the plug-in dev and maybe get the work as credits.

Ok, so I finally got round to purchasing the game (my kids have still been playing on in even after the demo time). Anyway, I tried to connect to your server a few times, but got the error, Failed to connect -- Connection refused.

Do I need to forward port 27015 on my router or something?

Thanks.

Yeah just tried, can run 2 at the same time in single player, but if you try and join a server it kicks one of the users off.

Short answer; I believe you will need two accounts to play at the same time.

Long answer;
You can play offline with the same account once minecraft on that computer has been played once I believe, but you would have to disconnect the computer from the intertubes. I don't believe you can login to two minecrafts at the same time whilst on the intertubes, and the server will probably kick one of you off if both minecrafts have the same username if you join a server.

I will try tonight when my server comes online and see what happens

Thanks for the offers -- It sounds like a lot of fun. The kids had a little moan recently saying it was difficult, but I think they just need a little more playing practice.

My other computers are a bit old and underpowered to allow both of them to play at once, but if I did manage to pick up a fairly new one, would I need to buy 2 licences (accounts) or could the kids play at the same time with one?

Minecraft certainly is a whole bunch of fun. I run a Bukkit server.

This has a nice easy to use plugin API

Working on a cut and paste plugin which will allow you to copy buildings and interesting geographical features into a database and then "paste" them elsewhere (even another world). The idea is to allow you to build up a library of objects that can be used to build custom worlds.

My server is on most evenings. PM me for the IP address, if interested.

You can never get bored of minecraft

If somehow you do, have a look at tekkit (a bunch of reallly cool mods for minecraft) Have a watch of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk58R6g7PGA (and the series) if you ever get bored, some realllly cool stuff in there

Also if you have kids plural, and they each have their own computer (lucky children, I didn't!) you might want to set up a minecraft server (v easy) so they can blow each other up
