First of all, you will require Log Me In Hamatchi to go on this server.
General Information
This is a small 20 slot server. It has a arena, which can be transformed into a spleefing arena. At the time of this post being published, it is a vanilla server. Close to spawn, there is a series of ravines & caves. Also close to spawn there is a massive ocean. There will be plenty more buildings built as the server opens, and more people join. THIS IS A HAMATCHI SERVER
What is LogMeIn Hamatchi?
This is a third party program which allows you to connect to servers outside your Local Area Network. (LAN) There is two ways to host a server for other people who are outside of your LAN to connect.
1) Port forwarding My Minecraft Server, and most if not all others, run on the ports 25565. Naturally, you can't connect to these ports without them being forwarded. Think of Port Forwarding like a door. It must be opened before anything can come inside. In this case the ports must be opened before anyone can join. The reason I have decided against Port Forwarding is it is a very complex procedure if you don't know what you are doing. As well as that, hackers could hack my network alot easier if the ports were forwarded. (Once again, back to the door, if the door is closed, they have to break it open; it can be done, but it is a lot harder to do so, rather than just walking in the door, like Port Forwarding would give them the ability to do. As well as this, you are physically connecting to my network, so the server would run on the Internet at my house.
2) Third party Program such as Hamatchi This was the option I chose. It is very simple to set up, the only downside is that it requires a download, and a small amount of effort if you would like to connect to my server. Keep in mind, that the download is a once off, and once you have joined my server once, you will be able to join it normally, providing that I have the server switched on.
What is there on this Minecraft Server?
So far, there is nothing really. When the server opens, more building will go up very quickly. I have built a arena, for spleefing competitions infront of a audience and anything else we might need a arena for. Please build your house away from the spawn, when I build the spawn building I will have to dismantle your house.
Pictured above is the main arena.

That should be it. Thanks for reading, hope to see you on my Minecraft Server soon!
