The Map Reset

The map:

I can't speak for the wishes of the original poster of the "see the map early" request, but here's my view.

A fair chunk of people would like specific landscape features for their future buildings, Being able to see the map a day before will allow them to see the terrain and build around it, planning any linking roads for cities, and that kind of thing.

I don't see any harm in switching which map is there, as it doesn't hold info on the ores and the such, it can't help people get an advantage in mining. The only item of value it would display would be pumpkins, and due to the seed changes in 1.9, having them early will be no advantage.


I quite fancy the idea of seeing the map early, but if not, It just means i'll be spending my first day exploring to find the right place to build

World backups now available for those who want a copy:

http://orcworm.co.uk/minecraft_newbackups/

Can I remind people donating for major cities to be transferred - the plots will be removed and just the outline and basic structures will be transferred.

Post from last night but am copying it over so it's easier for all to see:

Donator Gil will be managed tomorrow, not an urgent issue at the moment IMO. Rardical / Giygas / Rocker, PM me once you have a suitable area chosen for your transfer and I'll move it over.

Donator plots can be issued from this time next week to give everyone an equal chance of getting a decent spot of land.

Superpickaxe will be given at this time next month.

And to those questioning the lag - 30 people running in different directions across unexplored chunks is likely to do that. Once the chunks have been explored it's much less stressful on the server to reload them.

As usual, any problems or errors you find in plugins, please forward to me via PM - bear in mind we are running a beta bukkit build with outdated plugins, it's likely there will be quite a few problems.

Those who have donated over £15: Please PM me Paypal transaction ID or any other information that will help me confirm your donation amount. I understand this is a nuisance but I need to be 100% sure on everyone.

Probably some whitelisting / downtime tonight to give me some time to paste the larger transfers on, rardical's was fine with 10 on but acheron + abydos is a different story.

Cheers Orco'

(Abydos pasting)

Crashes with 12GB allocated, so I'm gonna need to MCEdit it, stay tuned.

And by I, I mean freddy.

No one messes with Rardy, glad to see that the WE listened to that =D
