SMP 1.8 What Do?

[Hafnium]

Realize that significant changes are being made to map generation in 1.8, with dungeons and NPC villages and the like. I figured we'd get this conversation started now. How do you guys want to handle the shift to 1.8?

[Ollieboy]

Put up a bill of significant stuff to be saved and move them over to a newly genned world with WorldEdit. It won't be hard to do if you teach all the trustees how.

I agree, and maybe copy/spawn items people allready collected in the old map?

Or can we 'add' the new worlds to our world? (expanding border)

[Xesdra]

MULTIWORLD!

Couldn't we just paste the old world to the borders of the new world, like we have before with the first world?

If not - what Ollie said.

There's a lot of people wanting to start over. Maybe first find out which people WANT their builds to be copied over, and then if too many people want their builds copied over, have a selection committee of multiple, reliable people to take the top however many and move them over. I'm sure we dont want to see the same exact terrain we have been for the past month or so in the new map. Certain resources such as clay can be re-supplied as well. Otherwise, like you said, go with Ollie's idea.

Better idea: blow everything away.

my opinion on this ...... copy like the cities that are already built or being worked on over and copy the inventories and money over

Taken from another topic:

Don't get too keen on many being transferred either. The standard will be really high, otherwise there will be no point in having a new map! BUT we do have another compensation system on the way. Just wait.

In other words, if you even want your build CONSIDERED to be moved, you'd better spend the next half month or so making your build nice and pretty. The trustees/owners will decide what is best for the server.

Plus, there is a "compensation" system on the way

[Ollieboy]

In due time all will be made clear. Stop speculating
