What I meant by doing it Old School was starting without armour/weapons/tools to begin with - this is after you've scoped out a suitable site and set a warp point
Don't forget two things....
1. We're fortunate that we have a Mining World. This I believe is set to Peaceful mode (not 100% sure) so we can mine there without wrecking the location where we're going to build, which was Bart's intention in creating it. This will also allow us to build up our characters to at least iron armour/tools/weapons without getting blitzed. If you really want to keep Old School we could make it that you can't bring any upgraded gear back from the mining world....sort of "check your diamonds at the departure gate"
2. Although I go on holiday next Friday for a week, generally speaking I have more free time than you guys (as demonstrated with the railway tunnel) so digging out umpteen blocks and dumping them in a chest or smelting them wouldn't be a problem. Might need help transporting them back to the build site tho as my laptop starts lagging when I warp/teleport multiple times.
D2 will be my evening game of choice with the Old Codgers and others!
Any comments/other thoughts guys
I might just strip off (figuratively speaking) and go and start a new mine for us on the Mining World! Damn, mining gets under your skin, doesn't it!!
until
