Even without the ability to build and mine at the server at the moment, there is lots of things to explore and visit (fast and fly privs are granted and helpful). Some pictures from my first exploration:
The spawn area with amazing buildings. This is only what you see on the surface, inside is lots of more!
Many generated structures around the map waiting to be explored and contains some treasures that may be helpful later.
Dark towers, watch out for evil orks and trolls hanging aroud there.

A rohan fortess...

... and its guard

Nice white castles

This hobbit was to much surpised by my visit of his cute hut that he decided to jump in a river to hide.

The two towers? :)

One of the cobble fortresses. Attention, inhabitat by bad guys.

A rare nice tree house.

One of my personal highlights: the elven tree houses!
Some landscape impressions
Lots of different biomes to explore.


The colourful forests and exciting canyons.
You are not alone out there.
The dwarves and the ores - the ores and the dwarves :)

Dude, I..., I didn“t chopped this tree! Re-realy not.

Please announce this server in the forums of Freeminer too, as doing so might convince people that the fork is not worthless (it does connect to Minetest servers.) Just be sure that, if you take screenshots using it, that you use the latest development version from GitHub. The stable build of Freeminer shown on the home page is vastly obsolete.

For a period in time, the server was changed into a survival server due to lack of active staff for maintenance of the idea.
But now, the server will have a gentle reboot in a week to be made into a capture the flag server. Using
rubenwardy's capture the flag game, but slightly modified together with LOTT subgame.
For interested parties that like teaming up and killing perhaps you might want to join earlier to gather some resources and get prepared when the server transforms.
I am also looking for any
mature players that are willing to lead a team.
And also
active*, mature, experienced* players interested in being a staff member.
*experienced = at least a few months of playing with Minetest and know of the usage of basic moderation commands.
*active = a visit at least once in a fortnight

It's also quite intresting to just visit the server and do some sightseeing. Will there be tourist visums available for those who are not intrested in capturing a flag? :-)

Yes, I suppose I could arrange for that.

Announcement (for OldCoder; he said it on his server and asked me to forward it):
OldCoder wrote:OldCoders worlds may be down for 2 days.
The OldCoder Minetest worlds may be down for 1 to 2 days starting tonight or soon for a move. This will happen again in a week or two.
The physical server is moving. So the worlds are going to a diffrent machine temporarily and then back to the original one.
We hope to see you there once things settle down!

Hello everyone, WookieWarlock here. My computer has broken, so I will not be able to carry out my duties as a moderator right now. On top of that, I'm preoccupied already because I'm going on a missions trip to Nicaragua in the next week for ten days. I hope to get a new computer by the the end of June or so, but I'll try to get that taken care of ASAP. If you'd like to chat further, do so here on the forums because my phone apparently loves boycotting freenode. You can also ask STHGOM about my personal email if that would be easier. But for now, goodbye and sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. Later!

Panda or Warlock, as may be preferred: I'll ask Sparky for your email address, but feel free to drop me a line yourself at:
oldcoder@yahoo.com
Does your phone take pictures? I'd be pleased to receive some of the trip.

I'd love to send you pictures after the trip :) Unfortunately, last time I went on this sort of trip, (in Haiti) my camera was stolen just days into it. This time, however, I'm not letting that thing out of my sight xD. One more thing; I'm leaving Monday, so communication won't be posible after that. I'll be coming home the following Monday, but the plane arrives back home really late so I probably won't be able to speak until that Tuesday. How are things on the server? Anything new I should know?

PeterPanda, Hi. Lord of the Test is one of my most active worlds. It's in good shape and the Cat Ninja has things under control. My worlds will shut down for two days for a move from a temporary machine to their long-term home, but they should be waiting for you when you return.

OldCoder Lord of the Test has been updated to the latest upstream LOTT code. I'd like to thank Amaz for his assistance with the update and for his positive remarks related to other issues.

I assume that people have seen this screenshot on my Twitter feed. For those who have not seen it, here are Ents Nettletwig and Mildfir in Lord of the Test:

Screenshots in general will be posted on one of the following sites:

OldCoder Lord of the Test is now a little more diverse. Meet Cat Ninja's take on Istari Pallando.
This is non-canonical, but so are Nyan Cats. I don't remember them in the original Lord of the Rings books :-)
The 1st screenshot shows a younger version of the character. The 2nd screenshot shows an older version. Both versions are in LOTT but the 2nd screenshot is from Cat Ninja's development world as opposed to LOTT.

Hi guys, wookie again. So I just wanted to throw it out there that I will be active again! Perhaps tomorrow, if not then in two days because I'm busy Sunday. You guys don't know how excited I am! My life is in pretty bad condition right now (long story (which means I just really don't feel like talking about it right now)) so it'll be great for me to get back on and chill with you guys. See you then!

Peter Panda, nobody using that nick has visited any of my worlds so far. To discuss things further, see me in-game or in IRC. I'm around fairly often, though times are unpredictable.

I have noticed that there are no buildings at the dwarven kingdom yet. What is wrong?

Amaz says: "They do exist, but they are generally underground, and so are quite hard to find. I'll add a planantiri to the main place at some point soon."
Here's a screenshot of a dwarven community. The underground places are presently decorated caves, for the most part, but there are exceptions. Amaz is working on a dwarven city, which will be located aboveground.

This is another dwarfen city underground:

They even have a shopping mall (and a nice tavern above it):

There just wasn't time enough to build the living quarters. The dwarfs are working on them now. If you can contribute something, please do so! Right now, they're all happily digging.

This is impressive. How can i travel there?
I would be glad to contribute something.
I already started building a "dwarven mine".

There's plenty of space left in that cave where my dwarfen city is. If you'd like to build there, search for the mine entrance. Go to spawn, then forward towards the city, and head right. Where the city ends, you'll find some stones indicating a path. It leads to a tiny bridge over a gap in the ground and to the entrance building above the mine - which holds the palantir stone that'll teleport you down.

lolman, I answered you before in the Moontest thread. I don't usually handle interact in the forums. Please don't clutter up the threads with interact requests. Ping me in IRC, talk to me in-game, or email me. Details were in the response that I already gave you.

1. Sometime this summer, the LOTT satellite was destroyed. It may have happened due to a crash as opposed to griefing. The satellite has been restored from a backup. To visit it, use the command:
/satellite
The restore should only have affected the satellite area. If you notice problems on the ground, report them to Amaz, Sparky, or me in-game.
2. The travel command /ents has been added. This command takes you to a biome where Ents have been known to live.
3. At the request of jakster, the apple tree in the screenshot below, a Kingdom of Trees has been added. We may add other Kingdoms, such as the Kingdom of Coders. The code is experimental. I'll need help from Amaz or Fishy WET to figure out one glitch.
