Now yesterday I decided I felt like building because I did enjoy it but I got on yesterday and there is barely 10 people on! I used to come on here all the time and there would be almost 20 guests, some members, some recruits and the occasional builder and craft like me along with ops. It is sad to see this server start to loose numbers as I found it the best. Maybe we need a new campaign to get new players or something.
Thoughts? Ideas?

It's been like this since like last year sadly. I think a spleef or a building tournament/competition would be best to get the name out that classic still exists and can be fun. I have taken over Your_Mine's spleef tournament, but I don't really have time to set it up unfortunately since I'ld have to go through all of the existing teams, see who's active and who wants to still participate.
-
I could probably help. I used to play with running a spleef server from my computer. I reckon we could make it work and get the name out. Just need mapmakers which i also may be able to help with

I don't think it's just us. Minecraft Classic in general is on death row right now because Mojang made it really obscure to get to. I'm sure there are ways to get people from Opticraft back on Classic, but it won't be permanent, and it won't be very many.
-
It is quite annoying for Mojang to do this and try and hide classic because it creates opportunities. They may be getting rid of it to direct players to the paid thing instead of getting a feel for it in classic. I love classic because I enjoy building. simple. But they want to move with the times
-
Long time no see Slim.
Haven't seen you since middle of April last year.
Well good luck to you on classic server, its as dead as a tumbleweed rolling in the desert.
You might want to get on smp or something.
-
Hey alpha! Well I would get on smp but I would have to use my bros account. I have moved more over to other gaming but I started to feel like I missed the build so I came on and was incredibly surprised about the numbers. Maybe we could get on a server together or something :D
-
I've actually always wanted to join the server. But as mentioned Mojang is making it impossible to get to. I'm not sure but this maybe happening to other people. They want to join, but they don't know where to access it. If someone knows how please help me. When I click the forum thingy and sigh in, I'm just led to the minecraft home screen.

On the minecraft home page on the right under where it says 'Buy Now!' There should be a little link saying looking for classic so just click that and t will take you to a page. After all the text there should be something saying are you still looking for it and go there and you are on the list. Now just filter opticraft and you will have found the server. If you don't want to read just go http://minecraft.net/classic/list (http://minecraft.net/classic/list) for the server list and http://minecraft.net/classic/play/1bb27262c1fd81b37c35280749bacbd2 (http://minecraft.net/classic/play/1bb27262c1fd81b37c35280749bacbd2) for the direct link to the server.
Maybe gather some of your smp friends and come join us on classic for a build. ;D
-
Opticraft.net/play works as well. Anyway welcome back dude. It is sad to see what happened to classic over the years though
-
There is barely 10 people on!
Lucky.. I normally see about 1 or 2 guests on with me whenever I join. .-.

*sigh* sometimes I too.

If it makes anyone happy, I joined classic. And then I did /j nick33061 and I made the computer freeze...oops. I still haven't gotten used to the /fly and all, but it worth it to get more people on:)
-
That happens sometimes when you join a huge world like that. Try /j crafter, that's never failed for me. There are some pretty amazing builds there, too.

Don't use /fly get WoM (http://www.worldofminecraft.com/Downloads) it makes flying, and building in general so much easier

Get WoM and then download xWoM because I cannot use WoM, it doesn't work unless I use xWoM

Ok, so how does it make it better?
-

No-clip, faster speed when flying, not having that annoying glass floor underneath you, raising and falling in height faster, etc. Look at the link iGen sent.

Sounds externally beneficial. I think I will get it.

I've got it how about we make a sever video I could take off the volume and look at the rules and venture around the reason I think this could work is if every on the form (lot's of people) were to look at it maybe it would get popular and have many people look at it and join the sever.

Um did you read what you wrote?
-
We could try. If we targeted the amp community of opticraft then we may get more people

yeah but we can honestly say classic pretty much died thanx to mojang.
there are still some servers left, but yeah. we fell into a pit and cant get out.
-
So sad to see classic dead... :(
-
Hey KCB, long time no see.
-
every time i try to log in, the server tells me that its down

Well that very rarely is true because classic is almost always online. Do you connect through Mojang's website or do you have WoM
-
trough mojangs website
-
Well, Here's why this server is a complete loner ville.
- Mojang are idiots and hid the link to play multi player
- Minecraft Classic is no longer being worked on
- Some of us have quit due to being the only people on the server.
- And last, but not least, people don't have WoM (Minecraft Multiplayer Server Client)
-
I don't see why we can't have a build server. To me, Classic is just outdated Minecraft. Why not build with the new stuff? Can anyone tell me any advantages Classic has over MC? I'm kinda tired of seeing people say "omg classic is dead why".

build with new stuff? We have SMP for that..

For those like me who haven't purchased the full game, which I am to believe is around £20, at least we have an abandoned server we can still build on. When I have lots of blocks to select from, I don't know which to choose; with Classic, there's lesser choice. Furthermore, on Opticraft Classic Server there are some amazing builds that I for one would like to preserve as what Classic Opticrafters have achieved. Just a few reasons :).

You forgot the fact that many people refrain from going on Classic due to their e-mail, in some case wanted kept private, is used instead of a username. Mojang is a real idiot for that.

well i preferred the mood of classic over the more tight rules of smp. its very.. well they want to prevent someone being a dick, or well anything that can offend anyone. and well the wom client was more fun. and mining is a bitch. but thats my opinion. i may just be nostalgic(though i had smp before classic)
-
The sad thing is that this departure of players is not just existent in classic but also in SMP. There used to be 300 people MINIMUM every day. Now the most I ever see is 50 something players. Sure they're committed players but I miss the time when they're where giant towns with actual people in them. It sounds like the classic downgrade is the same. I think that Opticraft should market the server more and tell players to tell their friends about the server, both SMP and classic.
-
There never have been 300 players on SMP
-
But there has been 250.

Is there a way we can copy the Classic map into regular minecraft? If so, we could just make a creative server.
But that's not likely. You guys could go for a fresh start and start building newer, more impressive builds with the new stuff out in 1.6.

Hundreds of them, and as stated before we don't have enough staff to spread around on two servers
