Will the development build or the stable build for bukkit 1.7.2 ever come out, I am starting to worry because as this tweet by EvilSeph (Team Lead for the Bukkit Project) there might not be any stable build because of some minecraft issues itself D:
Here is the tweet:
While we will have @CraftBukkit dev builds, there are issues in Minecraft we can't fix that may prevent us from getting anything stable out.

What will it be a better choice, use the Beta and not stable Bukkit builds? Play the server on 1.6.4? Wait even more?
I am going for the option of playing in 1.6.4, I know the server looks great because of all the great effort of the staff team but I cant wait xD!
-
That worries me slightly as well. I hope they're able to figure something out....I miss the server deeply. Haha
-gg
-
I'm sure they will find a way to get it all working. If not, i'm sure Minecraft will do something to help them, as tons of Minecraft servers use Bukkit.
-
Bukkit runs in to problems on almost every Minecraft Version, just wait it will get there, if it doesn't Bukkit will contact Mojang and try to solve the issue that way.
-
Simply put, the code has been changed a lot and they need time to figure how to make it work again.
Mojang still has a very personal take on mod support, deal with it.
-
I've seen quite a few bukkit servers running 1.7.2 with limited plugins such as economy and essentials, I'm not sure how they obtainedit but that does give some hope.
-
Seen as Bukkit is now a part of the Mojang team, they work together to get everything sorted. Sure it will take some time as Miner said but, they'll get it there!

It's not actually 1.7.2, there was a note on the Bukkit forums warning about such servers.

Those servers made their own bukkit but it dosnt work very well >:(

I've been playing on another towny server that was running on 1.6.4 that updated to 1.7.2 about a week ago while they work on building a new server from a 1.7.2 seed. I haven't seen or noticed any problems. Oh and BTW, they have already announced they will be transferring everyone's MCMMO skills, chest contents, and builds (if possible) over to the new server. So, that is possible to be done as well.

wait, who is they? the towny server or Noobscraft?

wait, who is they? the towny server or Noobscraft?
The owners of the other server I'm playing on. I won't list the name or IP as it would be against the rules.

yep i understand (lol time to search ALL the other towny servers to find it :D)

Well screw this... I'm not joining noobscraft at all if we have to wit any longer. I don't care if bukkit is stable at this point or not, and if its really that bad to have a beta version, then stay in 1.6.4 until there's a stable version in a later update of Minecraft. I just want my dang Noobscraft, and if I can't get that then I'm converting to another towny server permanently. Sorry guys, but my patience has run out. They said V6 would be open by mid summer, that didn't happen. Then they said end of summer. Didn't happen. Then when V5 finally went down, they said 1-2 weeks until V6 would be up. Its going to be 2 MONTHS in less than 3 days. Im done waiting and so are a lot of other people and this news has made me unbelievably mad. I really like this server, but if we're going to continually disappointed, I'm leaving.
-
im surprised that they aint at least put up a temp world for everyone to play on...id put up a 1.72 vanilla world till they updated bukkit, then they can get the plugins working and release v6 which will be about the time 1.8 will come out..cant wait to check out all their hard work.
-
Im actually kind of happy V6 isnt here yet, I was getting sick of minecraft and needed a break...thats exactly what this wait is doing for me :)

I agree with you, the wait is getting a bit annoying, but if you left now you would have waited for nothing, it's probably just a couple more weeks, chill out and understand that the Admin Team are trying their best to get the server up and running, but it's pretty much nothing they can do cause they have to wait for Bukkit.
To be honest, I wouldn't mind if they simply opened the server in 1.6.4, let us play till Bukkit is stable and Minecraft 1.7.2 Ready, then took it down and updated, I would more like a few days of downtime while they updated the server from 1.6.4 to 1.7.2, than being unable to play till Bukkit is updated.

Bah, by the time the Bukkit dev team gets a stable build we will have already missed Noobmas... And I've been patient long enough... I've been so patient that I've put up with all the previous disappointments we've gone through... I'd rather play on a server that's not as good but one that we can actually PLAY on then be stuck just thinking about how great it's going to be and then continually being told we'll have to wait another 1 or 2 months after being PROMISED that we would be playing on it by that time. We should already be almost 5 months into V6... If there hadn't been any delays, we would have been in since July! I'm a patient person, but when I am continually disappointed, I start to lose that patience. I'm at the end of my rope, and if V6 isn't open by Thanksgiving then it'll probably never open... It's probably not reopening anyways because if Bukkit can't open a stable version then Noobscraft can't open... And if Bukkit isn't able to produce a stable version, what does that mean for the server? I haven't heard from any of the admins lately and they can't seem to comply with our requests to just stay in 1.6.4 until Bukkit can come out with the next stable version. I mean really guys what's so hard about putting up a server you've already tested and know that it's stable in 1.6.4? All the other big servers are doing it, and look! They're just sucking off of the players from Noobscraft who are quickly losing interest. I'd rather play in an older version than not play at all.
I just can't look at the positive side of this any more... I'm fed up with all of this. I know it isn't the admin's faults about the Bukkit 1.7 complications, but it is their fault that they aren't putting V6 up in 1.6.4 like the smart servers that run Bukkit are doing.

lol, liking your job Adrian? :p
i kinda like the break though because its helping me think more in depth about the town im wanting to make :)

I'm just going to ask that everybody calms down a bit. The server will be released, all will be well, just give it time. There are certain things in life that can't be helped and this is one of them. If this post gets out of hand, I'm going to lock it. I would also like to remind everyone that threatening to leave the server is against the rules, and simply causes unneeded drama. If you have an issue with anything, it is better to speak directly to the admins than to vent where everyone can see. Please take this all into consideration and make sure you are within the rules with anything/everything you are doing. Thanks.
i hate to be the one to object to this, but bleh! i have read through the rules and im not really seeing anything on the "threatening to leave the server" thing. i would really like to see that rule, not trying to be a smart aleck or a troll in any way but i seriously want to see that rule, or just a copy of the forum rules...

Yea, I'd like to see the rule too xavier. I'm kinda getting tired of all the threats and name calling when people aren't rainbows and unicorns all the time.

You're way out of line on this one Adrian. If it were up to me I wouldn't allow this kind of misrepresentation of the rules by one of my prefects.

When the rules were spelled out more, it was included. Now that they have been simplified, it isn't included word-for-word. The new version of the rules (and moderation) is more of a basis, seeing as they cannot possibly lay out every single scenario; so, it all goes on more of a severity basis. To my knowledge, this rule is still in place mainly because:
...and simply causes unneeded drama. If you have an issue with anything, it is better to speak directly to the admins than to vent where everyone can see.
If I'm wrong on this, I'm sure one of the Admins will correct me... But as far as I know, that rule still stands.
I know everyone is frustrated and just venting, but I just want to make sure everyone is being careful with what is being said so that nothing escalates.
i know im probably going to open a whole world of pain for myself by posting this. but DID you seriously just quote YOURSELF as an "explanation" for a rule and/or "rule"? seriously?
not really intending to insult someone. but seriously man. i just had to post SOMETHING in response to that. you quoted yourself...wow...

Just because I like to stir the pot.....you cannot threaten to leave the server....when there is none...?!?

Exactly! Logic is missing! And if there wss a server I wouldn't be raging about this anyways!

Now, I have no staff position at all. but I have a few things to say: The first thing is we are all going off topic here, and should probably get back to the reason the topic was created, for the bad news from Bukkit, not to fight over the rules of the server, as not every rule can be shown (like Adrian said) and it would be like a huge contract that no one would ever read if it had every little rule. I know it can be frustrating but there is no need to start arguing about it here, if you want, make a suggestion about adding the rule to the list in Suggestions & Ideas, or start a conversation some place else. I know a lot of the Noobscraft players are older, but it's still a family friendly server, and I hate seeing these kinds of arguments that never end good. As a coder myself, I know how complicated this can be, as it takes DAYS of trial and error just to work out a few things. And since as we discussed Minecraft has changed some server elements it will be like when the new launcher came out with mods, it's going to take some time to work things out. So if you would like to leave, the doors open, but don't slam it on the way out. If you would like to learn more about why this is so complicated, just PM me and I can discuss it more with you. But for now, we must be patient.

But like I said (still on topic because it relates to Bukkit) couldn't they just have released the server in 1.6.4? They already had every single little thing worked out... And then boom and V6 gets taken away for another 2 months... I really wish I didn't have to get used to these disappointments, but apparently I do. I think server has now dropped from 5/5 to 4/5 in reliability and being able to stay open

If you would of looked at some of the posts, the transition from 1.6.4 to 1.7.2 changes world saving meaning you have a high chance to lose everything you built (House, farms, towns, etc.) and start from scratch again, I think waiting for 1.7.2 is a better idea. :/
-
Adrian is right. Threatening to leave the server is against the rules. I understand everyone's frustration but let's remember to not take it out on the admins, mods or even now the prefects. We aren't perfect all the time but we were given the position for a reason.
As Adrian said, if this topic doesn't steer back onto topic it will be locked by one of us. This is not the place to diss the server or go on about why it's taking so long and how you're threatening to leave the server.
Let's keep this clean and fun. Even on the forums.

That's why they have backup files.

Since when was that a server rule? I'm just trying to express my and many others' annoyance about this! It's perfectly justified we've been waiting months now and we've continually been promised V6 would be out on --/-- and then always a delay. Nowhere in the rules do I see anything even remotely bordering "threatening to leave the server is against the rules". So I'm not listening to it unless a response from the admins directly on it is given and what they'll do about the server. I'm really still not all that... Accustomed to (or happy about) that new Prefect position, and even though you're staff I'd rather have an admin consult us directly about it.
-
It isn't stated in the rules as of now and they may have disregarded that rule but at one time yes it was a rule. Whether that stills applies now, I am not sure. But as stated by Edix that isn't the point of this forum post. If you wish to clear up the rule issue consult an admin. As for this post....I recommend we talk about bukkit or Adrian or I will lock this post because we see it starting to get out of hand. I understand the frustration that everyone is experiencing but publicly bashing the server and the admins isn't the appropriate thing to do. The admins and those at bukkit are doing all they can as fast as they can. This is nothing about excuses or having promises broken....the admins, the whole staff want to open the server up as soon as they can but only when they feel it is ready.
Again please keep this on topic or it will be locked. It's starting to get a little outta hand.

Let me try and correct that view for you.
Lets say they DO release 1.6.4 now, people who want to can play and risc losing it all when they upgrade.
People like you, who do not want to risc it simply do not connect.
Outcome for those who do not like riscs : same as waiting for 1.7.2 (not playing till release 1.7.2)
Outcome for those who dont mind riscs : being able to play now, with the upfront knowledge of losing stuff.
No downside for either party.
The team might even consider to reset the world on purpose when 1.7.2 is out to avoid that those who played on 1.6.4 have an advantage.
V6 was ready weeks ago, this wait is a waist.......
Rackspace and bandwidth is paid for I assume, lets use it.

This topic is getting out of hand, I'll post a quote below from Fatnoob regarding 1.6.4-1.7.1
1.7.2 may possibly break everything, meaning if you were to protect or build anything in 1.6.4 it could be potentially lost when we move to 1.7.2, this is due to the way block and item data saving is changing in 1.7.2. This would be a terrible start to the version and would just create more arguments and anger in the community, we are going to wait it out and ensure the release is smooth. We'll be posting an update article to explain this within the next day or so, so please be patient for that.
There may be possible ways we can start on 1.6.4, but that would be a last resort and not very ideal or completely reliable. This method would mean creating conversion plugins to convert the data, which would be incredibly time consuming and a waste of time if 1.7.2 is around the corner. We'll discuss this in the article soon as I mention above.
We will be making a post that will give you more information regarding v6 very soon.
As always, thanks for supporting us and being patient during this transitional time.
