I have Jack-o-Lanterns lighting up everything that's supposed to grow. Yesterday I logged in and just sat in the middle of my plot for 2 hours and this is what happened:

1. New wheat grew 1/2 way.
2. Pumpkins (the fruit) grew 1 out of 3.
3. Melons
-- a. out of 3 fully grown stalks (used the 1 bone-meal i had) grew 1 Melon.
-- b. out of 7 seedlings grew NO stalks, 2 grew 1/2 way, the rest 1/4.
4. This is the kicker, virtually NO GROWTH on Sugar Cane. The reason why this is a kicker, I had over 66 plants (with 1 plant that grew 1 block length) that I basically just tore down and went and bought the bookshelves instead. The time it took was just atrocious.

All the items are lit artificially, have water, plenty of daylight.

Something is not right on the server. Over 2 hours of just sitting within my plot waiting for stuff to grow and it doesn't? Maybe it's because I'm just at registered status and not trusted? I don't know... it's just hella frustrating.

Considering almost NOTHING spawns out in my territory mob wise. I think in my last 5 times on the server I've seen 1 zombie, 1 spider and 1 skeleton. So, that'll tell you my bone-meal situation. Personally, I feel like the market is being pushed vs natural growth and acquisition of goods/food. About the only good thing is that I have a Spider spawner near me, so experience WOULD be good, if the spawn rate actually represented real spawn rates. Even the spawn rate in my area is abysmal. I sat near the spawner for 3 minutes and had 1 spider spawn... again... something not right. On other servers that room I built would have been filled with spiders.

If you ever want to be be Trusted (I presume you will) then complaining and having that type of attitude is not going to be in your favor. Having a good relationship with players on the server will make your stay a hell o' lot better. Expressing your opinions is appreciated, though if you would like something changed or need help post them in their corresponding areas. Bottom line- Have a good time and we appreciate that you have something to say, just drop the attitude. Thanks~ Chip

I agree that everyone has to have the best attitude in places that are new for them.
I dont say that your bad attitude is not acceptabla, but sometimes the games influences our minds and its better to write when you are calm.
Everyone has starved in the past. I have died from starving. I was selling breads to get some money in order to develop my account. I was asking for some dollars help. These dollars came from Clawstrider at that time. I never forget people who helped me. This is what I do too, to new players. I have spent a LOT in "global money sharings". I have benefited others with money, items, seeds, etc. I have done 4-6 free drop parties, and I have hosted an Event to help people. I given items from what I have bought! Not from what I have found.

If until Friday you still have great need, I will rent you a home with everything. I mean everything. Nether portal, farms, ench. table, chests, and entrance to a mine.
Contact me to rent it to you.

And yes indeed, market is a place that doesnt attract me any more for mellon sales. I have abondoned my farms.

sniperdoc:
First off. I didn't come in here with an attitude. The fact that you guys are taking it personal because I feel that I'm seeing a flaw in the market that AT THIS POINT, for newbies makes it pretty dang hard to get a good start to explore.

Furthermore, just because someone is an admin gives them no right to start flinging the insults... none were given on my end. I just stated that I feel that with the farms not working properly that the market isn't set up properly to assist. You're spending more cash that you're able to bring in as a newbie. For the people that are responding so disrespectfully, should stop taking things personally as I didn't insult them in any way, nor was any intended.

So far I'm seeing that there are a couple of people with the same issue, so it bears SOME responsibility for the proper people to check it out. Those with 400 chests of steaks and bread it's not so much of a concern is it? For NEW players that can't explore at all, because their farms aren't cranking out food and sitting at their home for 5 hours this isn't a very fun experience when going to the market and they have to sell their entire stock of iron or gold to be able to buy over 200 bread!

I feel that I am the one being attacked for sharing a situation. My demeanor or attitude, as it was so called, didn't change until Mr. Admin Nick Supergod over here decided to start flinging the "ignorance" pile around and THAT... is not respectful. Though I do appreciate the fanbois jumping on the bandwagon as well. Where did I mention anywhere that I wanted Trusted status? I just asked if that's a requirement to have faster growing farms...?!? Seriously...? Don't put words in my mouth and jump on Nick wagon just because you've been on here for 24 comments longer than I.

Spamarian and the ones that replied before Nick came on the thread read me right. Though I wasn't upset or angry when writing my initial responses (I'll call them PrN responses, Pre-Nick). I was just making a point.

As far as the assistance Spamarian, much appreciated but I have a home all built and ready to go, just waiting for the farm thing to resolve really. I've got a little bit of cash saved up but it's dwindling if I have to eat a lot.

So, to get the thread back on track...

It appears farmable items such as sugar cane, wheat, pumpkins, and melons are or were growing tremendously slow. However, I logged in last night for about 20 mins just to observe the growth and it seems that my cane did grow somewhat, not much. I also had a some growth on my wheat and melon stalks. I actually had 1 melon as well. I don't know if that is because I spent 2+ hours on the server the night before just watching stuff [not] grow and I got off right at the growth spurt or what, but I may test some more later on tonight.

Nick3306:
Let me start out by saying you were being disrespectful to us before i came into this topic.

These quotes would have been fine, but as you can see (i hope), you have a really bad attitude in both of these. Not to mention you do not offer any alternatives at all, you are just complaining that you cant get enough money. You can call it the "nick bandwagon" if you want, but I am not the only one who sees the attitude.

As for your last post.

Yes, this is how it is supposed to work, if every newbie was bringing in more cash than they were spending, everyone would be rich instantly. It is supposed to be hard to start out as a newbie, it's survival.

24kGold:
We all started out as new players. I bought a stone pick, axe, and sword from the market and now I'm doing just fine. My farm grows wheat, and I live by you. You're not on the edge of the world, btw. Far from it. Maybe you should just go explore and kill cows/pigs/chickens. I know they're out there. You always have the /home option, so you don't need to worry when venturing far out.
