Minecraft 1.8 Information

[Deleted User 009 0]

Hey guys, Vaquxine here with some news regarding our game plan for 1.8 which is scheduled to hit on September 12th. Although nothing has yet been confirmed regarding a "new world", I can tell you a few certainties.

Skill levels will be kept.

Minas amounts will be kept.

All character card information will be kept.

Buddylists will be kept.

Major cities will be transferred.

Possibly some chests of items being transferred?

NONE OF THIS IS SET IN STONE, I'M JUST INFORMING YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN WE ACTUALLY HAVE A MAP RESET, CALM DOWN LOL.

Basically everything except for the world and inventories would be kept if we decided to generate out a new world.

As for 1.8's release date, it's on a Monday, and since I'm still in school, I won't be home till later in the day. This means the server won't be updated to 1.8 until around Monday night, if even then depending on what bukkit does. So to prepare for this, I've made a simple little patching tool for everyone who wants to downgrade/upgrade without restraint to use.

Click HERE to download MUC. (Minecraft Update Controller)

It's fairly self explanatory, simply select the version of the game you want to patch to and hit "Patch Client", it'll do the rest for you. Once 1.8 hits, I will add it to the database that it pulls the versions from, and you'll be able to freely move between 1.8 and 1.7.3 :).

I'll post more news regarding this update as it grows closer, so stay tuned.

P.S. Availer will be back in a few days :D!

YAAAAAAAAY!

Wait, I thought that any new world would only take place WAY after the actual 1.8 release. An entire wipe is not something you want to do on a whim.

Also, I just bought 30k worth of items, so please no.

I dont personally think we should get a new map. I have been on server that got new maps and Most people QUIT the server because of it and people lose things that are in chests. People work hard for their things and most dont want to lose them. Just my opinion. Thanks

[Lawrence Berell 226]

Wait, will furry central ((Aka The Kharajyr capital )) be moved as well?

You crazies lol, edited post regarding "world reset" -_-.

Haha, I'm calm. Was just taken by surprise there.

There's already been lengthy discussion on this in other threads, such as:

http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/12655-about-the-18-update/

You might want to discuss that there.

Well there is a small possible solution I have heard of from one of the Devs on another server. They intend to use multi world mod to allow people time to migrate to the new map, get all their items there and everything, before deleting the old map and making the new map the main map.

Basically it would be a few days of mass exodus and then back to old fashioned RP, if this method is used. Besides, we shouldn't come to this server for the items and the map, but the lore and roleplay. I mean the entire premise of this server is the roleplay experience, is it not?

Granted, I will be very sad if I lose Dark Manor, I worked ages on it, made a huge amount of history in it with my friends, had a lot of fun there. But it can be rebuilt. Maybe even better than before. I know what to do this time, I won't spend most of it thinking, 'How do I make this look nice?' or things like that. Plus, this does allow for a very large scale lore and RP event of what happened to the old world and what might happen in this new one.

But those are posts for already existing threads :3

Agreed. The items are a bonus.

But seriously, will the Kharajyr capital be moved? It is finally complete :(

I think if it is a really large structure like a major city, or just one of impressive enough size and detail, it will be taken to a new map. But that is something for the map makers to decide.

[Lawrence Berell 226]

Full city. Been worked on for months OOC, and I know Xerdun would be upset if the worst happened...

[Darthsnackums 2]

Please let us take AT LEAST a double chest of items.

[Aeolwyn The Elf 139]

Skills will be kept? Phew!*wipes nervous sweat of of forehead*

[Decks of the Black Axe 3]

Vaq, can you clarify what "major" cities means? This seems to imply that no player created structures will be transferred, is this correct?

[Aimin Cavien 2]

Idea: We keep the current world, but get rid of most of the slots, and make a completely new one.

I like what I'm hearing so far. If nothing else I would love to just see the combat update make it onto the server. It doesn't conflict with our own skill system very much, if at all.
