This should be fixed now, I changed addresses for the server. Try clearing your DNS cache if this is still a problem.

Indeed, it is a bit of a shame. I have a few ideas to make the word a bit more user-friendly.
If anyone else has ideas for encouraging new players, please share them with me!

I think that the server would benefit from clearing some of them for new players to build, since one thing that discourages new players is the difficulty of finding a place to build without building far away from the shops and spawn. I'm willing to remove most of my builds to leave space for others. :)
New players tend to look for easily accessible places for building, yes. But that doesn't mean that existing good buildings ought to be torn down. Better offer a new, easily-accessible place for building, with signs directing the new players there. Kind of a new spawn.
A new spawn would be nice, however, I don't know if Craigy has the time for setting a new spawn (building new spawn house and shops nearby). But, if it can be done, It would be the best option. Also, most of the builds I suggested to him were those cobble/wood "just got started" homes built years ago. Others are buildings that are not attended (such as a micro hotel) or unfinished buildings. Thanks for posting your thoughts. :)
Esteban, I still have that list you gave me and I'll work on cleaning the list of those who haven't been online in many months.
A new spawn is definitely an option. Another option is to encourage players to use the travelnets to travel to areas instead of wandering around spawn thinking "huh, no place to build".

The first thing I did when joined was to run to desert and begin to hollow up a pillar, It's going to be a fortress :) and it's the second house that can be considered livable, at the moment I'm hollowing out the second floor, I just hope that nobody will find it before I put protection on it...I wonder how many active players are here?
What's wrong with the crafting guide at the moment? Unified inventory causes problems for our mobile users (they're unable to craft). I'm not sure whether that issue has been resolved or not yet.
As for active players, we're currently trying to resolve this - see above! :)

This server has been around for years without fly priv for players. It would be a large change as the whole world has been built with walking on the ground in mind. Try fast priv :)

tried to make an issue to original, but probably will be ignored...
Looks like a problem with minetest, try to reproduce and submit to the bugs forum.
