From what i was informed by others, slimes are disabled on this server(though why i'm not exactly sure). As we all know, in the future there will be one of the most useful pieces in the game; pistons. One of the most useful pistons and perhaps the most used will be the Sticky-Piston, but that requires slime-balls to make it. Personally i think you should add Slimes to one of the shops, maybe the Skull or even the Double-Pickaxe!
Slimes are also extremely rare. D: It's hard to tell if they are disabled or not unless someone is absolutely sure that Andrew disabled them. We do need a way to get slimeballs.. eventually.. Even just so I can be strange and throw them at people. xD
Back when mobs were added, Andrew said in the recent changes that slimes were disabled. And I looked at the stuff from a long time ago, back before i was on the server, and everybody seemed to think you could throw slimeballs...........................you CAN'T THROW THEM.............sorry, had to get that out of my system.
Well, people were saying before in the old thread that you could "Accidentally hit the right click and lose it"
You COULD, back in the day. I specifically remember when Andy would throw Slimeballs at me while i worked in my bank =.-
