That seems like it could be fun. It's hard to find a good server full of strangers though. If we do, I hope it can be more of a social space and not get griefed to hell.
I suppose that would help. The biggest hurdle is finding the best way to host the server. I don't have any hosting experience except using a hosting site, but I don't think it would be a good idea to put the burden of paying a hosting site to run our server on someone's shoulders.
Man I haven't gamed in a long while it feels. I miss the old days of minecraft. I see updates about it and it's weird how much it's changed. I joined in Beta 5.3, I believe.
