User blog:Akrivus/Sonic Fanon SMP

Hello! This is Akrivus, and I decided this would be an appropriate place to put this, if not, admins, please put me in the right direction.

Story Shortened
My old computer broke, so, putting this in English, I installed something that fixed it and made it work better, and I decided, "Hey! I got a perfectly fine system here, decent A-series processor, 6GB of RAM, plenty of HDD space, and I like Minecraft, so yeah!"

After months of tinkering with a faulty network driver, I finally fixed my old computer, and set up the server, which now runs on my private modpack.

Why Modded?
I have plenty of experience with mods, and I think that mods remove the sense of staticness found within a community, you can still play like vanilla, you just have some stuff added on, which you can do whatever with, (hell, build a house out of copper ore, I won't really care, or just throw all that precious uranium away.)

Anyway, I also use mods because of the modpacks, they are easy to install, and I can update whenever I want, meaning if my IP changes, just run an update, if I decide to update a mod, or add a mod, just run an update.

How do I join?
First of all, you must ensure you have the most recent version of Technic launcher, and we also support Cracked Technic launcher, for you people who don't want to or can't pay for Minecraft. Now, once you get Technic up and running, click on the plus sign to the left toolbar, and in the box asking for a platform url, copy and paste this URL, not the contents of it, just the URL.

http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/mcakrivusorg

Once you got that done, click play and it should automatically download the modpack for you. It is a 52.4 megabyte file, so be patient I guess, my internet is pretty fast, (we are getting Google Fiber as soon as it moves to our city, tee he he.)

Now what?
When it opens, click on Multiplayer, and a server should be there waiting for you! The server is normally 24/7, but is restarted every day at 6:00 AM CST, if it isn't online, then either a storm or power outage is going on at my house. If it is something else, feel free to ask in the comments or on my Skype, which is akrivus.

What exactly am I to do now?
Once you get on, if you have no experience with mods, just play like your average vanilla survival world, eventually, you can learn some tips and progress from there, it really doesn't matter, as long as you're having fun and not blowing up/killing everyone for the lols.

I hope to see you on the server sometime, and don't forget to have fun!

(Admins, if I am posting this is in the wrong place, please put me in the right direction, thanks.)
