Partial apology. I stand by what I said earlier but perhaps I could've been slightly more polite. I'm trying to do 20 things at once here and my patience is quite pushed with the recent cack on the server.

Server is now up!
* New 1.8 map, which can be accessed by heading to the Pantheon. THIS MAP MAY (read: probably will) BE WIPED WHEN 1.9/etc COME OUT.
* Old 1.7.x world access restored, along with the nether and people's chests.
* Homes have been reset due to having to change home plugins
However, you can now use multiple homes. Admins will help you teleport to your old homes if you catch one of us online. The new command to set your home is /sethome.

So.. How's the server holding up?
There seemed to be some options for that but the permissions aren't finely grained enough. I'll see if I can sort it in a few days.
Nope, I didn't. Cheers for the link
May try and update this afternoon but it might make sense to leave things as they are until the plugin authors catch up.
I would be highly surprised if they released 1.9 today or even in the next week.
I'm sure it will be a 1.8.2 release with some minor fixes - maybe a taste of some of the new content.
Releasing 1.9 so soon after 1.8 just wouldn't make sense - they would just have waited a week to go straight to the content in 1.9.

Noo, I loved the island style of the 1.8 world
I doubt 1.9 will be massively different - I think the island style is here to stay. As I've said above, I also doubt that 1.9 will be officially released as soon as they're saying.
If you're right nutty we may be able to get away with just a Nether reset for 1.9 I guess. The 1.8 generated overworld will hopefully be small enough that people will be able to see the new biomes relatively easily.
Awesome. I'll expect the server playerbase to die again for a week or two and then for Bukkit to take another week to update :/
The idea of starting fresh is to level the playing field for all the new players. In addition to this, each time we don't wipe the map we either have to support an additional world (to allow access to the new features) or simply say "okay then, we won't have that shiny new content".
It has been discussed to death in previous posts in this very thread so my advice would be to read back through it. I don't want to sound rude but I guess I'm a bit tired of the circular discussions.

I don't want to make any promises. I'm hoping in an ideal world that I won't have to map wipe the 1.8 but... :s
As things stand at the moment I don't see the need to wipe 1.8. People can just explore further afield when we go to 1.9 and the new biomes will be generated.
If this is wrong I'll have to re-evaluate it.
edit: I'll promise to give at least 48 hours notice if we do decide we have to wipe the 1.8 map. Just to reiterate though, wiping everything once retail hits is still the current plan (nothing is set in stone of course).

The conclusion I've reached is that there is no way to keep everyone happy -especially without a huge amount of work overhead for the admins.
By all means feel free to start a discussion on LinkTart about it and I'm sure players will be happy to comment/discuss further. As an admin I would be happy to look at the discussions but being expected to comment on every single idea would be a bit much. As long as you understand that. I'm not saying "oh no, no discussions allowed and no decisions can be reversed".
Of course, on 1.9 release we'll discover that there's a bug where a player with that setting somehow deletes the server world upon death.
Try backing up your map files and then generating a new one.
Are you using Bukkit? Could be caused by one of the plugins.
not using bukkit
works fine with new map
is there a map repair tool?
Try loading the map up in mcedit. Sometimes you can repair it with that.
You also may be able to work out which particular chunk/region is causing the issue by reading up on the logs (read up on converting coordinates to chunks/regions). If you can work that out you can just delete the offending region/chunk and you'll be good to go with minimal losses.
same issue in MCEDIT as running the .jar server.
can see a list of chunk/region that are erroring and it's loads
I'll look worse than it is most likely. Often the chunks are all in the same region so just deleting one or two region files sorts the problems.
I'd just ignore mcedit and go back to the deleting chunk/region data method. You may want to post in the standard minecraft thread about it too as it's more likely that someone like Sylvet/hegemon would see it over there and he knows his stuff.
