Nope, I backed-up my acropolis and arena today; so I'm ready for a full wipe
Oh also I've been playing a lot of TF2 lately, become pretty good too
When are you planning to start the crystal maze?

I assume that the crystal maze won't get started until release....... as the map is going to be wiped
Moving builds axross allows for a nice sense of continuity, maybe copied builds could be located in one corner of the map as a sort of museum area?
Okay I have been playing 1.8 since Saturday and I can say quite happily the following:
1.) Resource and I mean ALL resources (Clay, Diamond, Lava, Lapis, Wool, Pumpkins and sand) are MUCH, MUCH, MUCH easier to find. You will find almost every resource you need very quickly and easily with a bit of looking.
2.) There are no caverns ONLY abandoned mines....Now you do get crevices inside mines that look like caves, but this is just a bit of borked up procedural weirdness.
3.) Survival is a lot easier due to health refresh, but also a lot scarier. One poison and a creep blast and it is game over (unless you have armour!).
4.) You can spend forever down below, just bring a little food to begin with and your okay
5.) The new features are definite improvements
From what I have played I can now see it will take me far far far less time to gather and build, so I am happy to lose my existing builds (although would love to take my resources if possible). And I reserve a spot next to a deep ocean near a desert!

Been playing SP Survival mode in 1.8, enjoying this much more than 1.7.3. Especially when you discover abandoned mines, gives a real sense of discovery. Could do with some abandoned carts and some scary miner ghosts. The whole reworking of the world generator really does give the game some epic feel to it with high mountains and deep gorges. This could do with randomn events like flooding, earthquakes and volcanoes to give the world a shake-up now and again.

Imagine the fury as one of our big builds crumbles to the floor thanks to an earthquake.

:/ how are all of you getting 1.8?
http://www.minecraftforum.net/news/214-want-to-play-18-early-heres-how/
hopefully a new pre-release will be available tomorrow for testing.
edit: just backup your minecraft.jar file in the .minecraft/bin folder (rename it to minecraft-current.jar or something) and add in the downloaded minecraft.jar. Vice versa if you want to go back to 1.7.3

Seems fine for me. Unless you mean their 1.8 test server.

Can't you whack a 1.8 Test server up like that other test server you ran FT?
I could do but there doesn't seem much point to be honest. Everyone seems to be testing stuff well enough as it is
Just thought I'd add that Maxi's 1.8 server was fun yesterday evening. toString, Maxilive and me fighting off a horde of creepers - real survival mode! Most fun I've had in Minecraft in ages . Built myself a small house, just need a roof to stop the spiders coming in!
