Slimes!!!

[Spamarian]

I dont know what is going on, I was about an hour between 60-120 blocks away from my slime chuck and nothing appeared.
I am pissed with that shit.

Mobs (this includes slimes) will spawn more where there are more people.  Just a think I think you would like to know.

Not quite! I and Scotty(something) were waiting in my spawner for 2 minutes for a spider to spawn but nothing... And imagine i usually get 5-9 mobs every minute alone. On the other hand, a random conversation with a player made me wonder ( because he was using mobspawners to level up pretty fast) that mob spawn rates are broken for some people and not generally.

Slimes are indeed a bitch

No, it's not for "some people". It's in general. Spawners work on and off. If they didn't work for you, log and come back in a few hours. It may, or not. My spawners sometimes work and sometimes do. Mob rates across the board are up and down. It is a bit of a drag, especially with slimes having one of the most important mats for one of the most useful, newer, and fun items in the game, sticky pistons.
