Why is it so hard to find the server sometimes?!?!?

This must be the 4th time when I couldn't play on minecraft in my free time because I can't find the server
WTF!!!
I don't get that much time out of the week to play so it really PISSES ME OFF!!!:dodgy:

First off I'd like to address the attitude. Please tone it down, there is no need for that kind of behavior on the forums. Second of all, there are a number of ways you could have taken to find this info out. To the right there is something called, TeamSpeak 3. To use it, you'll need to download the program and install it. You don't have to talk to us, you can simply use the txt chat option. Admins and other members hang out here on a DAILY basis. If anything, you could have just sent an admin a PM or use the search function of the forums.

1.7 Build SMP - 66.96.206.202:25560
1.7 Survival SMP - 173.212.250.58:25560
1.8 Pre-Release Survival SMP - http://mikes-revenge.net/forum/thread-1496.html <<< More info

Most people are busy playing the 1.8 pre-release. The 1.7 Survival is down at the moment, pending 1.8 updates. The 1.7 Build is up however.

Just download the WoM client - http://www.worldofminecraft.com/
and bookmark the server url - http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server...8dead835ed
it's easy as that

Oh wow... just realized this was in the classic thread. Sorry about that. Do what BigZed says.

Sorry for the screaming
Heat of the moment
But any way thanks for the help

Hey monk,

Chances are that if you are unable to find the server on the list then the server is down. This has been the case on more than one occasion this week. What lladar said still holds true; if you think the server is down just go on TS and tell them that the classic server is down. Someone will happily reset the server and the problem will be fixed, easy as that.

Hope this helped and I'll see you on the server.

Thanks iBiinky but what is TS?:-/

TS is Teamspeak.

Download it here http://www.teamspeak.com/

When you open the program go up in the top left of the window where it says connections and hit connect. A box will come up asking for the server address in which you need to type 173.212.250.58:9987.

BOOM, there we all are having super intelligent conversations all the time and telling tales on levels of the classics. Also, we are there to help and hang out.

I just want to know what exactly happened when the 1.8 update happened because I heard it would go down when the update was released but i was able to find it in the server list and now I'm confused for whats going to happen?

Will it go down later OR will it continue to live like we know and love?

Can someone who KNOWS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN please tell me

(I'm talking about is the 1 with the CoR contest by Ibiinky)
