Xsyon 2012 #2

Well, since I’m kind of hyping about this game actually, here are some nice pictures I’ve found. I borrow them from official gallery, which is available here. I like there pictures because you can see what’s possible with current set of features in game.

So, now it’s 13:00 pm CET. The webserver for Xsyon are currently in maintenance to patch up for headstart. 11 hours to go and I’m very excited. I haven’t played the game a lot since I bought it (which was yesterday), because I don’t want to start stuff just before final wipe. Although, I’ve figured out how some crafting things work, so I can at least start playing it and don’t need to figure out UI when Prelude starts (that’s how the headstart’s called I guess).

Since I don’t want big pictures on my main page, just click read more to view them.

Xsyon 2012

I just got into Xsyon, a quite new full sandbox mmo soon-to-be-released. It’s kind of new Wurm Online, a lot of easier to get in it supposes. Here are some links to some quite nice beta reviews, both shot this week:

It’s going to start on March 1st “officially”, but you can enter the “final” world from tomorrow (Friday 18.02.) when you preorder it now, which I just did. I already downloaded Beta Client and started trying things out. Obviously, I won’t play much for today, since they will wipe everything tomorrow evening, but it’s a chance to get in hang with UI and stuff.

Unfortunately they’ve got some Server issues at the moment. As I just got the game, I don’t know if it’s usual, but for today, server just crashed like 5 times between 1:00-3:00 AM CET. Hopefully, release will be different.

I’ll post more stuff about this game after some days trying out features..

Minecraft – Go buy it.

I just discovered a very nice little game. It’s called Minecraft and is some kind of sandbox game. You can compare it to building objects with Lego. Currently, it’s in alpha state which mostly supports singleplayer. Multiplayer is in work. It’s in rapid development; there are often patches with new stuff and bugfixes of course. In Singleplayer, you can build your stuff (whatever you want) like in Lego, when it turns dark, there are enemies which are trying to kill you and destroying your stuff, so you’ll need to defend and kill them with sword/armor! On next day you can start building further. The game gets very addictive – hopefully the multiplayer will come out soon.

Switched server

I’ve just switched my server to a Linode. Very nice features and services there. Server’s very fast, compared to my old one.

When I’m connecting from Germany to my Linode in New Jersey, it’s actually faster than connecting to my old server in Frankfurt, Germany ;) . Especially in european primetime.

Yesterday, my page had some problems, because I forgot to acticate mod_rewrite *shame*. Now, everything should work correctly again.

I got an email which offered me a free reactivation for some days. I activated it even though I wasn’t really interested. Suddenly, two days later, I got an email which offered me a product key for full game with 14 days free. So now, I got free game time for like a 3/4 month plus the full version of the game. So when I want to play it longer, I don’t need to buy the game for 30$ but just pay for a single month subscription fee. Nice “service”. So, when you get a reactivation email like me, just consider using it even if you’re not interested :P .

Maybe I’ll test it a few times until it runs out. If I’ve got enough time to check it out, I might write a small review about it.

Jeder der mit Webmin rumspielt oder es als Vereinfachung zum Einrichten seines Servers benutzen möchte, empfehle ich folgende Liste:

Internationaler AdActaDay

An dieser Stelle möchte ich auf den internationalen AdActaDay hinweisen.

Weltweit protestieren Piratenparteien am AdACTADay gegen das geheim ausgehandelte Handelsabkommen “Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement” (ACTA). Die neunte Verhandlungsrunde findet vom 28. Juni bis 2. Juli in Luzern, Schweiz, statt. Diesen Termin nehmen die internationalen Piratenparteien zum Anlaß, weltweit gegen das Abkommen zu protestieren.

Die Piratenpartei Deutschland fordert die Offenlegung der Verhandlungsunterlagen sowie eine kritische Überprüfung des bisherigen Vertragsentwurfs. Dieser hatte zahlreiche Bedenken aufgeworfen, vor allem in Bezug auf eine freiheitliche Nutzung des Internets. Die Piratenpartei fordert außerdem, die üblichen parlamentarischen Kontrollstrukturen einzubinden, die die Verhandlungspartner bis dato gezielt umgangen hatten.

Mit der weltweiten Protestaktion, unter anderem in Australien, Österreich, Deutschland, Mexiko und der Schweiz, wollen die Piratenparteien über das im Geheimen verhandelte Abkommen informieren. Die Regierungen der verhandelnden Staaten müssen in die Verantwortung genommen werden, sich gegen das Vertragswerk in seiner derzeitigen Form zu stellen.

Zusätzlich zur zentralen Veranstaltung am 28. Juni in Luzern finden in vielen Städten begleitende Aktionen statt, unter anderem in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Wien und München. Weitere Informationen zu einzelnen Terminen in Ihrer Nähe sind hier zu finden:

Ihr wisst nicht was ACTA ist?

Informiert euch jetzt im Piratenwiki und tut etwas, bevor es zu spät ist.

Since WordPress 3.0 was released today and I desperately wanted to test the new Multi-Blog feature (aka combining WP and WP:MU in one project), I decided to move all Mortal Online articles as well as future diary articles to a small sub blog, to test it.
