Map Reset Questions

So I have been hearing the map is going to reset, we will lose our gil, will donators keep their abilities and the extra gil? When will it be updated? Will the server be offline for the first couple of days so you guys can build a spawn tower?

Yeah, on release of MC we will reset, Filmjolk will probably return from his grave and will make Spawncity on a small private server.

imo, the old map was way better then this one, I'd like a restart asap

SO basically We'll reset<<(Wipe the map) on Nov,11.

@Pure: I sure hope Filmjolk and maybe Junco come back.

@sieve: I have the old map (1.3)

so do i, in fact, I copypasted my smp house into my single player world

Implying Notch will release it on the 11/11/11, yes.
But I heavily doubt that it will even happen this year, since he is a god damn retard.

I will probably split the physical server down the middle for those who we want building the spawn and those who we want killing each other and blowing up TNT.

I was previlaged enough to be a part of preparing the current map during the last reset. I look forward to being part of the process again.

How will 1.8 affect the server(provided it doesn't have some dumb glitch)? I mean it's the adventure update so I would think that would require a new map....

We'll get to that hurdle when the patch is actually out. This is Notch we're talking about. There's no way of knowing what will ACTUALLY be in the update in comparison to what he promised.

I dont see how or why we need to wait until the official release to reset the map. 1.8 should be the last of any new content until after Nov 11 or something. In which case there would be something like 'chocolate cake' for the occasion.

Plus we wont be able to get to any of the new stuff without having people reconstruct things that they think works- while using hacked materials.

We should totally make spawn the whole Vatican city. We could also add some pedobears around.

I was actually gonna make a thread requesting a map reset upon the next update, and sorry I haven't been ingame recently, been on singleplayer making a 114x20x114 octagonal castle that I was going to put in a new map once we got one. So this is good news for me

And also for the new map, could you guys pleeeaasssee put filmjolks giant arena in it. You know, the one from the old 1.3-4 or whatever map it was

we should make the spawn the map from assassins creed or just one big thing form it.

The question about the donator abilities was never answered, is it all gona be the same?

If you had read the S4-thread on this you would have known that Orc is planning on expanding the map come 1.8.

That fully depends on whether or not the plugins that make those nifty things possible are updated. If possible then Donators will keep their abilities, if not they don't.

So does this mean TNT is going to be unbanned?

Well That sucks no donators abilities. Is it possible to keep a note on how much we donated and who we are so then if it isnt updated straight away we can have the abilities back when it is updated?

I highly doubt TNT will ever be unbanned. Guys you really shouldn't be worrying about a map reset, if it will happen, we all have a huge wait. I'm not sure why so many people are so worried and constantly asking questions that have no current answers.

Donator abilities will be kept, if possible, which as we've seen in the past, from last map to the current map, almost all donator abilities we're kept the same, and during this map more have been added. So it's likely your abilities won't change much.

About time to get staff back or I'll miss the fun

Forum Rules still and always apply - BackHandReaper

With the donator abilities, I don't know how much clearer it needs to be made;
If the plugin is available (and working bug-free) then you will have them. If not, then you'll have to wait til it/they are available.

TNT will still be banned (and unusable) on the new map.

Your gil, items, creations - will NOT be carried over to the new map, for sake of the economy.
Your creations WILL be saved so that they can be downloaded and imported to singleplayer (if you ask).


Just to re-iterate what Grintendo said.. The map reset won't be anytime soon..

I believe the gil from your donation will be given to you upon request... But bug Orc about it. (You owe me 70k gil, man!)

Id love to be apart of the re-building process for spawn Orc.

To sum up the thread (again) before I lock it:

- The map will be reset during release (Novemberish)
- The map will be extended by X blocks after the 1.8 update UNLESS that update forces us to wipe the map early.
- During the wipe the economy and all inventories will be reset.
- What the new Spawn will be will only be decided when the wipe is imminent so we can incorporate any new features in to it.
- Who will work on this new spawn will likewise only then be decided.
- Donators will keep their abilities/perks/gifts when at all possible.
- The map will be backupped so that people who want a build extracted for use in single-player can do so.
