1.8 Update and server reset

there have been some rumers lately that the server will be reset once the 1.8 is stable and is deployed

if so there would be a chance to have some changes in the map

I would like the map to be higher

right now the map is about 130 blocks high around 70 are taken with the earth which leaves about 60 block for buildings and art without having to dig all the way to the bedrock

if it wouldn not mean to much stress on the server would it be possible to have a map of 300+ height?



if somone else got any sensible suggestions for map improvement feel free to comment

Good question, only Orc can tell you the answer.

If it IS possible, then 300 is far too high.. 200 Would be plenty.

well for the preferd height if it is even possible we should ask our artists that needed a huge chassem to be edited n order to fit in their art (looks at nero) or have a poll

Well, according to some gamer news artocles i have read, notch /will/ be adjusting the build height limit. They haven't said exactly what height he will set it at though. But I doubt they will make it admin selective.

Higher height = Larger map save time

How can the map be higher than 128 when chunks are 128 blocks high?

And if Notch does change the chunk height limit... obviously we'll need to reconsider what we do with the 1.7 map, a 200 block elevator won't be the most pleasing sight imo.

I believe I said this 1-2 months back already on the exact same subject: Let's first wait and see what 1.8 will actually bring when it comes to performance/new functionality. Notch has a track record of not delivering what he promises so it's really silly to already start thinking about stuff like expanding or wiping the map.

double the map height=double the fps lag
and a lot of people already get horrendous lag as it is =/

Not true
