Two worlds

[Cain27]

Hello Everyone, this is Cain27, re-visiting this server once again.

If none of you know, the main world has been up since October, 2010. That's right, since Alpha.

I have come to suggest that you should take advantage of Bukkit's Multiworld support, by keeping the TMP world we have right now, and making it the second world on the main server using plugins.

I'd love a new permanent map, as it not only gives ALL the 1.8 features, but it does it EVERYWHERE. I have experienced quite a few problems with living near my ancient town Arucnia such as not having new resources (lapis, abandoned mines, etc...), AND a new maps gives us a fresh start, and it is more fun as not EVERYTHING is already built. I have suggested the ideas to a few other players, and they agreed it was a good idea.

Please consider the possibility of a second world, as it is fresh, gives us all the 1.8 features, and we can build anew.

I like the two world idea. i could manage it if you like and keep it clean, only if you agree heinz.

Same as Iscream but your basically asking for a second main world, It will be both costly on the CPU and annoying to manage.
You will not only need to have it logged you will also have to have it on a G-map too.

Overall sounds nice in words, going to be a little bit of a hassle to make it.

Its a nice idea, but needs some more "Ironing out".

i Say lets first wait for 1.9 to do this so we can get the newer features and just enjoy 1.8 in freeworld or guestworld.

[Cjvalentine]

Yes, I fully support refreshing both free world and Guest world. Guest world alone is in desperate need for a new world.

Also if you want to make one of the "adventure maps" (one unused or something) into 1.8 World that would be cool.

Just so we can have 1.8 some where without having to go to guest world or free world.

(You can make Members Area a 1.8 area, give it some more traffic)

I was thinking about having two main worlds for some time. That would allow us to enjoy both new features and have our old homes, both at once. However i am not sure how exactly should it be done or if ppl would go there too, but it would be very great to have some world with 1.8 terrain and features...

[Cjvalentine]

How about this idea?

Every where except for towns and other server landmarks get completely refreshed to 1.8?

Not sure how it will work, but that will give every Nation 1.8 land for future towns.

Just an idea off the top of my head.

[kyborek]

that is the problem, it is not possible to do that because with 1.8 same seed makes different world, refreshing all areas except towns would make hard borders around towns
That would be ugly and we dont want that.
There is unfortuntely no workaround for this...

Sorry Cain for the late reply.
(I was very tired yesterday .. the timezones..)

Think about it. You want a new/second main world because you like to have the new features.
That's why we have the free world. To get the latest update materials.
You like to have a new main world because you want to explore some caves and villages.
Having a GMAP for that would be boring and exploring is just exciting for the first time/weeks.
But to start from zero, is a nice idea - for some people.

We could change the topic of the free world,
or we could create an adventure world for everybody - just like the TMP.

The Free and the Guest world gets a reset anyway.

Then i am totally OK with free world and when i find stronghold we can go in group to explore it
