I really want to get back on the main server and start playing, I noticed how there is a new TMP server for 1.8.
The first thing I'd like to suggest is to take it down for now and put the main server back, the reason for this is that it will take a very very very long time before there's something fully finished and compatible with 1.8. It is also useless in my opinion to run a TMP server where the users' contents will be gone after a while. Almost all big servers are still running on 1.7 (Server side). Although they are allowing 1.8 clients to join using a protocol hack.
This brings me to my second suggestion: I'd like to see HPM use spigot instead of bukkit. The latest spigot builds contain support for 1.8 clients being able to join 1.7 servers.
There are a LOT of advantages to spigot:
1) It has all the features of bukkit
2) It supports bukkit plugins (So also the HPM Core)
3) It is much much faster. This definately reduces lag.
4) 1.8 clients can join
5) Very customizable with neat built-in features such as an anticheat
This will mean however, that 1.8 features won't be usable. But the TMP world is temporary anyways, so anything we do there, will be gone. That's another reason why it is better to run the main server now.
I came on IRC once and Bart told me something about the anti-mobfarm thing being reverted.
I don't know if you guys realize but a LOT of people left because of this, that really took out something that was completely vanilla out of the game. You're meant to progress in the game and get better and more efficient. That's why mob farms exist. I really hope that you will consider removing that plugin Heinz. I know it might help the server save some CPU usage (Maybe?). But this server is very powerful when looking at the stats and there aren't that many people on to use up all the memory. I believe that 0-5 people max won't use up all the memory. And using spigot will make it use even less memory!
My last suggestion is to add some kind of "like" thing on the forums. You can like posts if you agree with them, or even a dislike button, if there are a lot of dislikes the admins will be warned that it might be spam or something.
I hope you enjoyed my little thread
, I hope to see you ingame (However, I am on 1.7.10 using shaders and optifine and I don't like switching all the time, so I might not be on a lot).
