![]() Good Minecraft servers have 95%+ uptime and great servers have more like 98-99% uptime. Most server lists online provide additional information about the server worth considering. Take the time to read over the server listing, check “seed spotlights” on YouTube, and search the Minecraft forums to get a sense of the server before playing, and especially before considering donating to the server later on. In addition to getting a general sense of the server by reading its listing (is it kid-friendly? does it allow griefing?) there are a few other metrics worth considering. With that said, we’ve found most multiplayer servers to be quite friendly and well maintained, but you should still review servers and keep an eye on any young players using them. Once you start playing on a public remote server, even a well maintained one, you run into the same risks you do when allowing children to play other online games, browse YouTube, and other activities: exposure to inappropriate material and possible harassment. Terms to Be Aware Ofīefore we proceed, it’s important to emphasize one thing for both parents and adult players alike: if you want to maintain total control over the Minecraft experience you need to stick to playing the single-player game or local multiplayer with friends/family. Given that you’ll likely invest a significant amount of time into a server once you’ve selected one, it pays to know what you’re getting into and to do your homework before discovering (too late) that the server you’re playing on is missing features you want, or focused on a type of play you’re not interested in. The more sophisticated servers offer everything from mini games to thematic overhauls and server-side modifications to the game that allow server operators to turn Minecraft into a whole new experience like a zombie survival game, a team-versus-team capture the flag experience, or hundreds of other scenarios. The simplest servers are essentially just giant survival/creative maps with some tweaks (necessary for administering the server and keeping order) layered over top. There are Minecraft servers tailored to nearly every experience imaginable: servers focused on players fighting players, entire factions of players fighting other factions, creative plots where players compete to build the coolest structures, mini-games where shovels and snowballs become weapons, and ones where mansions become grounds for Cops ‘n Robbers variants.

Now that it's ready to hit here in America for the first time, however, can a game nearly two decades old still make a splash?During the mixed up time of the Super NES, Final Fantasy went through an odd name change which split the series into two parts for Japan and America. Within the next year or so, each of the original six Final Fantasy games (spanning the original NES and Super NES) will be playable on either GBA or Nintendo DS, and of them all there's none as anticipated as Final Fantasy III. In the meantime, the Game Boy Advance is seeing a steady stream of retro love with its own release of the Final Fantasy franchise, including even the world renowned Final Fantasy Tactics. Games like Final Fantasy Origins, Chronicles, and Anthology ensured that nearly every game in the series was able to be played on PSX. As the years have passed, gaming coverage has smoothed out between the regions, as Square merged with Enix Software and began maximizing the Final Fantasy franchise. Here in America, the release of the series has been a bit spotty, as Square began its RPG rebirth primarily in Japan, with English speaking gamers playing second seat. Since its humble beginnings back on the original NES, Final Fantasy has been widely known as the definitive role-playing experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you do not understand what is causing this behavior, please contact us here.
