If you stay on 1.1 then the entire world is flat, but if you make a flat world then revert back to 1.0 and load the rest of the map, this happens.I agree. 1.1 will also bring an option for generating flat terrain when the world is first created, which would make building spawn much easier. I'm not sure if the entire world would be flat (which would suck), but I think it's worth waiting to find out.
And why don't we want this to happen? This looks awesome!If you stay on 1.1 then the entire world is flat, but if you make a flat world then revert back to 1.0 and load the rest of the map, this happens.
Meh I dunno about that...on the one hand, we obviously already built spawn before, so this would just get it established quickly. On the other hand, there's still a lot of us who missed out on the chance to build spawn because no one bothered to announce it beforehand, it just went live a week before the original release was planned...so meh, pros and cons to both.Also, for expediency's sake, just build spawn in Creative mode or with MCEdit so we have it up and ready for the actual map. You can change it back to whatever mode you want.
And I disagree with making the interim map Creative -- it's kinda boring when you have everything at your disposal.
Agreeing with this, but I feel really bad about the time Wyv (and others, but mainly her) spent on the spawn, only for it to be gone in less than a month.Also, for expediency's sake, just build spawn in Creative mode or with MCEdit so we have it up and ready for the actual map.

There was plenty of announcement of when the map was going to be launched and the build itself took at least 4 days, so don't even say you didn't have a chance to help out.Meh I dunno about that...on the one hand, we obviously already built spawn before, so this would just get it established quickly.

That looks like the goddamn Far Lands, and you see how deep that is. One creeper is all it'll take and a void hole will be blasted into the floor. There's also the piles of lava to sort out too.And why don't we want this to happen? This looks awesome!
just saying
There was no such announcement. Originally it was announced that the server would launch December 16 or 19 (can't remember exactly), then it was said on IRC (not this topic) that it would be sometime sooner. No specifics were ever given since that. Suddenly on December 9th there's a post in the thread with the server IP and people had already begun on the server.Dan Dan said:There was plenty of announcement of when the map was going to be launched and the build itself took at least 4 days, so don't even say you didn't have a chance to help out.

Yes it took awhile to build spawn and plenty of opportunity to help, but that doesn't change that there was no advanced notice to it going live.
Starting out on a new map, exploring it, setting up camp and making all the facilities needed for a luxurious lifestyle.. thats what MC is about for me. Not the hours of grinding materials to make a giant ass maze out of obsidian...tl;dr: Contained permanent server until 1.1.0 >>>>> interm server until 1.1.0.
Sums up my thoughts perfectly, not everyone uses or bothers with IRC for starters. And that "champions" shit was getting old very fast.There was no such announcement.

Some users that may have been able to participate at launch missed out because they didn't know to be available. Then you have these privileged user ("Champions") bragging about taming spawn etc etc etc and it was all just a very annoying experience.

How do you donate again? Send it to someone's paypal, but forgot who lol. Hopefully one of these interviews I've had will pan into a job so I can donate lol...Champions aren't privileged users. It just a few users who called themselves Champs also happened to be people donate. Anyone can donate, as said before. You get a colored name tag, and possibly other perks if we think of them, but nothing that makes them "more important" or have more say.
Only I hate on the champs, no one else, GOT IT
