Just one question . . . Does anyone know if there will likely be a server reset for the patch, or will we just be moving on from where we are?

The answer Ive gotten so far to that question is it depends on what actually does get updated.

This is correct.

If biomes or a new non-hell block are added to multiplayer, they will only spawn in newly generated areas of terrain... which means you'd have to walk a LONG way to find any. A map reset would be a good idea.

Another option, though, is to keep the same map and maybe create a new spawn zone so old players could finish their projects, and new players would spawn in the new biomes and stuff. The only issue I see with this is map size...

For example, the old save was ~80 MB and took me about 3 hours to render a 3D map. The current save file is over 300 MB and takes me about 15 hours to render. I'm actually guessing at that time, because I left a render going overnight and it crashed after the 7 hour mark, but seemed to be nearly half done.

I'm not even sure I can continue to update a 3D map CURRENTLY, so I doubt there's any chance of it if I don't reset the server. In fact, I can't even update the 2D map right now because it's too large for imageshack to host.

So... take from that what you will.

well yeah theres some explore griefing that went on, but there's still soo much unexplored terrain between these explored lanes, biomes would spawn there i guess, so what's the real issue?

Yes, biomes would spawn there. The issue I was pointing out earlier is that I wouldn't be able to provide any map images. The server would probably have to start shutting down to make backups, too.

In my opinion, server should be reset after this update. Now everyone knows how easily you can make towns, and we could very well see a lot of towns pop up, and less random houses, weird stuff floating around. I really, really like the town concept, and i dont like random dirt pillars around, houses floating in the air, and huuuuge buildings in the middle of nowhere. Instead you can put those things in a town, make people have different jobs, and suddenly, everything looks neater and more clean. Of course, that doesnt mean that its not ok to make a house outside of a town, but i really would like to see more towns and shared projects blossom.

Also add that we'll have a huge circular area that is without biomes, which would look weird, and i dont think changing the spawn area is the best solution. And also, we'll probably be getting minecart & redstone fixes, so we can make a railway network, which really is a pain to make when there's not much space to work on.

EDIT: Thread with details on updates: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49256

Minecarts may still not be fixed after the update.
