Shinannigans on the minecraft.net multiplayer server list
Warhead:
I would like to know what is up with your classic server on the multiplayer list.
It appears that you guys have cheated the system to keep your server hours from being reset along with everyone elses.
I hope you understand that the uptime hours are reset for a reason: to keep the playing field level for all servers so the same ones are not always at the top.
I am disappointed that you guys have lowered yourselves to this level just to get decent traffic on minecraft classic. The fact that you dont even have the moderators to handle that number of people is a whole other story.
Regardless, I have notified everyone at mojang that I can to look into the issue.
But seriously, the quality of your guest world stuns me every time I join. If you are going to steal all of the guests from other servers, at least give them a nice server to play on...
Cheers,

This is not meant to be me ranting about how opticraft sucks. You treat your ranked players very well, but I think that this issue of the multiplayer list has pissed a LOT of other servers off, and we will not let it slip by unnoticed any longer.
Warhead:
Sorry, I assumed you guys were the slightest bit informed about the new minecraft classic multiplayer list but apparently none of you are. Figures.
Well, let me shed some light on it.
The previous multiplayer list was organized by user count on each server. The servers with the most people on them were at the top of the list. Many servers figured out how to make it look as if there were more people on their server than their really were. Some of the servers that did this were Opticraft, Team9000 and ThunderCraft. It is known as the server heartbeat.
Because the smaller servers had no chance to ever get decent traffic, Jeb decided to rework the multiplayer list. The new one is based off of uptime. The server which has been up for the longest is at the top of the list. Seems fairly logical right? But there is a catch, because many of the big servers can run for months at a time without coming offline, Jeb designed the server list so it resets about once a week. This means that regardless how many hours your server has been online, every server is brought back to zero hours from the point of view of minecraft.net.
If you don't believe me, go look at the list right now. It was just resently reset. Notice how every single server except for Opticraft has 1 or 2 days. This is because Opticraft has found a way around it. The evidence is right there out in the open. You guys seem very defensive about it, but open your eyes. You can't deny the facts just because this is the server you happen to use.
I will wait for someone who actually has some knowledge about the running of your classic server to discuss this with. For the time being, please save yourselves from looking more dumb and ignorant ignorant and stop mocking me. Please point optical this way if you see him online. I would love to see what he has to say on the matter.
For now, I will hop into mumble to see if I can find someone useful.
Cheers,

So, it's based on uptime, Opticraft is a 24/7 server, There's your uptime
Problem?

Why would someone from Mojang live in Massachusetts?

I'm sorry if anyone offended you in this topic, but I think the natural reaction to a post like this would be to think it was just a troll. I don't know about you but I usually suspect that things like this are a troll's work, simply because of the vast numbers of them on the internet.
I don't think calling everyone here "dumb and ignorant" really helps either. Most people are not aware of the intricate details of the minecraft.net server lists so I think you could have forgiven that small gap in knowledge.
Again, apologies for thinking you a troll, but it was a natural conclusion to make, I think.
You could perhaps provide some firm evidence that you do indeed work for Mojang so that we know where we stand.
This accusation should be taken very seriously, if genuine, and so I hope Optical posts a reply.
