Regarding 1.6 Survival

[Suzzie2]

Would waiting till 1.7 give you less work to do (and maybe less downtime)?

[Remilia Scarlet]

Er... Who did you hear that from? ^^; I haven't had plans for a hardcore in a long time.

I see where you're coming from, Bebatch, but the amount of time a lot of these players have put in individually and collectively is stunning. Though I will put the survival map up for download regardless, I think the least I can do for the players is give them a headstart with items. If users want a clean slate like yourself, they can obviously opt out of the inventory link by simply not utilizing it. However, for the others I think it's only fair that I do something to try and compensate for the loss of their builds.

[Krittercon]

Only reason I want linked inventories: House materials; those wool took a stupidly long time to collect without resorting to mass breeding sheep, I don't really mind about everything else really

[Katrix]

I just want my restone tourches and the porchops.

I think it should be up to each invidual player.

Is it possible to make your house in creative and then port it over to survival to not have the hassle of rebuilding all over again?

Remi has said before that there will be no porting to the new survival world.

If we are going to have to reredo the map for 1.7 i would say just wait until then.

Although to be honest i would like the map to restart already. I agree with what Major said.

Sheng, Since the terrain will be changing quite a bit according to rumors, the edge of the 1.6 map will be cliffs, oceans, and overall very unstable/erradic terrain change.

Yeah. What I mean is that 1.6 just came out, and even though 1.7 is a long time from now, everyone is already taking down their builds in preparation for the wipe. You probably won't see any new builds during the wait for the wipe, either. That's why a wipe sooner would be preferable, but if the next patch is a complete rework of the terrain generation engine, then there's no point in wiping now.

Here's the problem with announcing something like this; you're gonna have people feel like their efforts from here on out will go to waste as far as survival goes, but that's mostly at the fault of the players themselves.

Guys, expect to have maps rendered obsolete after a few patches, or at least the patches where extreme terrain coding is messed with. On my old server we used the same map from alpha all the way to the initial release of the game, but that's only because we figured our builds were more important than the cliffs and fucked-up trees.

[Remilia Scarlet]

Yuuka, as much as you want.

well shit, there goes my nice little home down the drain.

but in all honesty, if remi is willing to port over large builds to creative to allow us to continue improving then by all means i'm go for the idea. if remi does port
over large builds, i only ask to do mine last since my home is largely underground and it has a shit ton of blocks everywhere compared to other homes.

Would it be possible or likely to get a new map for 1.6, then restrict the area that people can go until 1.7 is released? I don't mind the current situation of waiting until 1.7, but I'd prefer not to have the map reset looming over everything that is build.
