As soon as the official Adventure Update went live we hopped right on board here at TwoFedoras. We wasted no time in getting the brand new 1.8 server up and running for Brooks and I, a few close friends, and a few new friends from Armless Octopus to start building ridiculous shit and to explore the newest features of the world.

One of the most noted and anticipated features of the update was the ability to level up by killing those pesky monsters that litter the landscape during the dark times. The unfortunate side effect of experience gain is the need for experience loss, in this case that takes the form of dumping all of your collected Experience Orbs. Now lets say Brooks or I happen to be bad asses, and also happen to have hit the level cap, whatever it is. Well that means there is going to be a fuck ton of Experience Orbs all over the place, the result is about a million of the little buggers bogging the server down and giving anyone in the area about 10 frames per minute(not a typo). But don’t start just picking up those orbs willy-nilly, there is a fix! You can have the admin of your server take it offline, and runt his handy little application and restart — good as new.

As for why they’re called the Experience Orb Herpies, well if you happen to try to pick them up the old fashioned way, you’ll be running around with a cloud of those little orbs pictured above, whirling about your person. It does sort of give the impression you’re plagued by something, it may as well be the herps.
