Nope. The new 1.8 map is just a placeholder whilst we await retail. Nothing on it will be kept.

Nice, Maxi.
I meant to discuss this with you but you've hit the nail on the head without that. Nice one

Personally I don't really want the pantheon copied to the new map. It would be missing the opportunity for a nice community build, not to mention that I'm a bit bored of seeing it on the cartos.
I think that 7 and 6 are quite important to have - or alternatively they could be community builds, much like 3 is.

A community mine would become just a pointless mess of tunnels extremely fast.
We've already decided and vaguely communicated what will be happening when the new version comes out.
That looks very similar. I'll check it out later. It's possible that someone else picked up the plugin after the original author dropped it.
I'm not 100% sold on the idea tbh but I'll discuss it with the other admins.
Yeah quite possibly, it's a good plugin afterall..
Code:/minvitehome * vs /home public /mhome joachim4075: vs /home jo
etc
Yup, no arguments there. I will have to make sure that the new author is reliable though. I really hate having to change home plugins every time we move to a new version of Bukkit/MC/etc :/
Nope. This has been discussed on here and elsewhere a ton.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON RELEASE (bolded so people don't miss it)
On release:
Fresh new world and no access to 1.7 world. Inventories on your characters wiped.
One-two weeks later:
1.7 will be made available and linked to the main world. You will be able to get at anything as normal from 1.7
Sometime (more than a month or two) later:
1.7 will be wiped and some stuff copied across (maybe).

The idea is that some people enjoy the "fresh start" feeling so we're attempting to cater to that. At the same time, some people don't want to lose their builds or materials, so we're catering to that too.
What I have posted had already been announced and that is what is happening. This has been set in stone for around a month.
There's nothing additional we need to give consideration to. This is a compromise that tries to keep both "sides" of the server happy. All you need to do is have a little patience.

Well i thought when i mentioned the announcements, that it would imply i had read and understood them*shrug*
The way your post read suggested that you didn't understand them. If you are aware that the 1.7 map and materials won't be made available for the first week or two then great, you've understood.
I think it would be brilliant if there is a ravine in the spawn area splitting it in two, fingers crossed for nature!
It'd look really awesome to have some kind of bridge-based town/etc, yeah.
I'm not sure how practical it would be though
I'm looking forward to everyone joining the server and then instantly dying from falling damage
I think we need to decide on whether or not we're using the ravine idea for definite tbh. If we are, then yes, the layout needs to change. If we're not then it doesn't.
How wide are people imagining these ravines to be? 20 blocks seems kind of..not wide enough for a natural ravine to me.
How often does the map of the server (from your sig) update?
Never. That is an old map of the test server which is currently down.
Hopefully this time they're working on the pre-release code (or in fact, hasn't MC "gone gold"?) rather than just sitting on it.
So the server will be running basically by friday night?
We can only hope.
If Bukkit and the essential plugins are updated then we'll be good to go. If not, we'll have to wait (or maybe put up a temp server).
I'm keeping an eye on things but I wouldn't hold my breath, sorry.
Unlikely. I think a temp map is the best thing to go with otherwise we may run into issues with griefing and/or exploiting.
As I say, I may well be too busy to put up a temp server tonight anyhow. However, if Bukkit (and the important plugins) are updated I will try my best to get it all sorted.
