    I noticed the main page got a new map for the server.
    Sure the system is very nice!
    You can see whos online and where, see the daytime, see everyone moving around and even blocks beeing edited just right now! And if that was not enough it has 3 options to display the map to your likings!
    That all sounds very sweet if it wasnt for one fatal issue...
    The map is over 70% incomplete. Only the area around spawn city is sort of ok but the rest of the world map has a lot of missing data and wont display properly in ANY setting!
    I think the main purpose one uses the map for is to find out where they are and what lies around them. But if theres too much missing data, whats the point of even having a map?
    The old one wasnt that great but it was pretty much complete and functional!
    I think we need the old map back and im making a pole about this to see if people agree or disagree with me.

    The full map can be generated by issuing /dynmap fullrender. The problem is it will result in around two hours of pure lag and timeouts, possibly more. I have yet to find a time when there's a lack of players ;p.

    I also preferred the old map style, the problem with it was how glitchy it became with the new region save format.

    Well if you CAN find a time where there are very few players online or even force times where players cant access the server for update, fixing and mapping tasks then this map would be awesome. But if things end up with there beeing no way this can be given, id say you should rather stick to the old map. Maybe its glitchy, but its pretty much complete.

    Just place blocks on the blackened areas and they'll show up on the map.
