Mature toString. It's got nothing to do with being grumpy at all, I just don't like the way the linktart is headed which is why I won't be back on. If something like this is doing to be in 1.8 anyway then why use a mod at all? Same situation we had with MCM.

It's vanilla MC I want so I'll have to find that elsewhere.

That's seriously your reaction? You're not going to get far in life if your way of dealing with new things is to judge them without even trying them and then to run in the other direction with your hands over your ears, shouting "la la la la I can't hear you".

toString is a big proponent of vanilla play style and he seems to like it.

There's no WoW-style raiding for it, aside from the fact that players can work together and the rewards are less than those you'd receive from mining and exploring. It's simply a fun diversion to give people something different to do.

Seriously, at least just try it on the test server for a few minutes before you decide that it somehow ruins the entire game for you :rolleyes:

What? Put you're toys back in the pram FT. Seriously, I'm not going to get far in life because I don't like the way a minecraft server is headed? I can't even begin to explain to you how utterly daft that is and how utterly shocked I am that it's coming from the server admin.

I play MC for the nice simplistic, trouble free gameplay. I don't want it over-complicated by addons on a server I play on. I don't quite understand why that's such a difficult concept to grasp, I don't want to spend time beta testing addons and then having them on the live server when I won't make use of them and as has been proven in the past they simply add to server instability and open the door for exploits. I'd personally (god forbid someone express an opinion) rather it was focused on a nice clean reliable server, minimum addons and a good community who wanted to build some great builds. That's why I expressed my view on keeping the number of addons to a minimum, yet I've been attacked because I don't like the idea of mobarena? That I actually want to mine and build on minecraft? There's little logic in that.

If I want to have a poor FPS style game I'll fire up an spectrum emulator. I don't see any point in trying to shoehorn that onto the server when it's apparently got something similar coming in 1.8 anyway.

I appreciate you've put a lot of time into this, but that's no reason to start throwing about insults to people who have supported this server. I've been nothing but respectful to all of the admins on linktart.

take me off the whitelist please, this is my last comment in this thread or in regard to linktart. Good luck guys and keep up the good builds.

It's clearly indicative of a general attitude problem.

As you've requested, I'll remove you from the whitelist.
 
I think it's unlikely that we'll be changing maps as usually it's not a very popular option with players wanting to keep their current builds. However, I can definitely make sure that the unstable land gets regenerated so that the new content appears there.
 
It's unlikely that it's going to be reset in the next 24 hours :)

I may reset it when we move the server to the config on the testing server - only if I can find some kind of cool modified terrain generator to substitute the default with though. It will then be reset again once 1.8 is out.
 
I'm not saying either way about whether or not a new world will happen but as has been stated before, we won't be moving anything over if it does happen.

There's a small chance the admins could help with levelling some ground but that's certainly not a promise.

This is spot on tbh.
Also transferring builds to dif maps is very easy with world edit and the best way to do this would be limit 1 build per person. Then let everyone log onto new map find the location they would like for the old build set home so admins can get to the location even if player is logged out. But tbh best option would be not let anyone transfer builds reason for this it gives everyone an even start and encourages working together more.

Admin saves the schematic from there old build and basically pastes it on the player chosen spot. Things like landscaping ect is the players responsibility. I know world edit can be a pain when comes to saving chest contents my attitude is tough luck new map = new resources. Transfering one build should take average 5-15 mins from what I have seen on my server. But I am very experienced with world edit so may differ depending on the person using it.

This is exactly the method we employed last time.

It takes far longer than 5-15 minutes per person once you factor in all the negotiating with the player as to where things should go and deal with the errors in copying.

Because moving a few small areas/builds ruins the entire map for everyone... riiight. It makes absolutely no sense to wipe everyone's builds when there are people who would be happy to help move them over. Only those build areas will be left with the old landscape and if the people occupying the builds are OK with that then who really cares?

It puts players who don't have their builds moved at a disadvantage? Give me a break, if you'd put loads of your time and effort into building something in the first place you'd get it moved over anyway. Of course you're not gonna care about the map getting wiped, but many of us do.

I've quoted your post but it's more of a general reply to everyone here I guess...

1) After the effort involved with moving builds last time it was decided that if another wipe were to happen we wouldn't be moving anything else. It would take a lot to make me change my mind on this.

2) A map wipe will only happen if there is no other option.

3) I personally think that the unstable land will be fine for getting an idea of what 1.8 brings to the table. *After* we have seen that we can then discuss and decide whether or not we think we should go for a wipe in the near future.

4) We are likely to get a lot of new players around the time the game comes out of beta so I personally feel this would be the best time for a wipe *IF* one occurs at all.

Right, so there is no point trying to convince you otherwise as you seem set on not changing the map. Seems I'll be stuck to singeplayer when 1.8 comes out then, and wait for the map to be changed :(

This falls under the earlier post you made about judging something before it has happened. Once 1.8 is out we'll regenerate the unstable lands and *then* evaluate it.

We don't know how much difference it's going to make at the moment because we've not actually seen it. We can guess based on all the stuff they've posted but that's not the same as actually seeing it in action.
