1.8 Update (New map)

In the 1.8 Update, a new map will be nessessary. I was wondering if someone would give the current map to me so i can splice in the cities to a new map and perhaps add a few chunks of nether in the outskirts of the map-- complete with spawners...

I would just hate to lose Haven, Sanctuary, and the airships.

i vote prized buildings stay but a shiney new map for survival kids. The prized buildings will be in an isolated part of the game or in the Spawn Safe zone City where things cant be built/destroyed. Just a suggestion but the first sanctuary was coolio

Second sanctuary has airships... Ive dumped TONS of resources into them, as well as several other builds in the same area. Also, i'd like to keep my town- it's very new!

I miss that old spawn area, with the statues of Ghostie, Mez, and Reddin, and the big waterslide and whatnot.
Next map we need a proper spawn area like that.

I agree with admiral That Spawn Area and Unflung's kindness are the reason's i didn't instantly server jump

why not just get one of those multi-world plugins?!?!?!? Have the old map as one world and have the new map as another world

i will donate my server if we ever want to have a second map

because the old map has 40 trillion abandoned blocks

I also vote we put maple beach on the new map or if not the town just the skull

If anyone is merging the maps, it's me.
Finding the time to do so, well.. That's going to be a challenge.
However, I don't plan on giving anybody the first map. The second map was overwritten accidentally I believe, so now we're stuck with two or three maps.

Personally, on a new map I'd rather see something like the old spawn area (water-slide , statues etc) maybe put some of the larger creations there as well. but I'd definitely like to see things work more like the map with Dustopia (Minus the gigantic abandoned area)

this is why i love you alric

Also definitely would like to see less towns, I preferred it when there were maybe 2 or 3 large cities.

Factions = A billion towns.

Also, we need to do away with people walking out ten thousand blocks away to build their home. Factions prevents griefing, please, people, build near the popular areas.

Currently with the new requirements for factions, its alot harder to have a billion factions, but towns still seem a little too easy right now, so im thinking we need to make it harder still.
Pertaining to the original point of this: Sanctuary and Haven are pretty boned over, and I'd rather not see any of the old towns, nether-chunks might be cool though.
