1.9 Update

As you all know, 1.9 is coming out soon, and promises some new map generation formulae. Do you want to keep the 1.8 map and skip the new map info? Or would you rather find a way to get a 1.9 map?

When 1.9 comes out why not have an admin teleport out far enough so that they are generating 1.9 chunks on the same map, then set up another border guard around that area, and make a portal from the old lands to the new, that way a second server instance is not necessary. Also don't upgrade the server to 1.9 until bukkit is upgraded as well. That way there is no real downtime.

Its possible, however it depends on the coding.

I like Chrism's idea. But, if we must get a new seed, why not offer world edit transfers for contributors? That could be a good revenue source for the server. It only makes sense that the admins should spend time transferring stuff for people who pay into the system.

i say new world altogether. multiverse will be pointless because people will just ruin the 1.9 world and not live in it, world edit major buildings will corrupt the map and we'll have to be carful with Every grief. A new map will be better- no giant mushrooms, new nether for the nether buildings, new animals-Mooshrooms- New spawn, give staff creative mode to help out, white list for a few days aswell till we get sorted...

CD, Lilian and I have thrown some serious hours into our area. It would heartbreaking to lose it all again so soon after the 1.7 update. At least give the staff world edit so we can recreate our building in a fraction of the time. Or maybe a large sum of cash. Something to speed up the process of rebuilding

You guys have spent lots and lots of time... How about taking lots of pics and giving these guys Creative mode war? least they can re-create it

World edit / Creative mode are what caused alot of our issues...

I'm in the process of further destroying a mountain I already half-demolished for my giant tower. At this point I feel the possibility of losing that progress makes me want to wait and not do any more construction/playing on the server until all the votes are in and a decision is cast. Also if everything goes, can I be notified of it in enough of an advance to map all my buildings into an excel grid so I can recreate them? Please and thanks ^_^

There will still be about a two week period after 1.9 comes out before we swap. I suggest you use this time to build up your money... signifigantly.

War, any chance of adding some sell only items to the shop to comp some of the expensive items we have invested in for this map? powered rails come to mind. I probably 200 of them laid down.
