When Biomes are released, won't they be included in the new areas that are generated around the periphery? Is there any reason we couldn't just shift the spawn point toward the blank spots on the map and start building there?

Either way I strongly suggest a backup.

But you probably already were going to do that anyway.

We could just wipe the undeveloped areas and have the world regen them. It'd cut things up a bit, but nothing worse than what's already there.

Expanding the map even more would make it more stressful on the server.  And also it would look crappy to see the biomes smooshed up against the "normal" areas.

With the addition of "hell" and such, I'm not even sure how compatible existing maps would be.  It would just be a lot cleaner and more interesting to have an entirely new map with biomes.

If it came down to keeping the old "peaceful" map and having a brand new "survival" map, I would vote for the replacement.  I would miss our old crap, but I think having a fresh map with all the new features will keep our interest longer than the current creative mode.  I'm not saying we will have to make this choice, but I wanted to make my preference clear.  I think the added challenge of survival would make our building choices more practical and rewarding.

All right, mr. topic starter.

To clarify the choices:
Original map: The map that is online right now.  We will continue to add on to it.
New map: Slate is wiped clean, brand new map with biomes and such.
Peaceful: Infinite life, no enemies.  Just build and explore.
Survival: You can die and enemies spawn normally.

Of course, this choice is for after these things are implemented in about a month.

Within the month we should hopefully have a solution where we CAN do both.

yeah, ideally I'd want that, but that's not the point of the poll.

I'm fine with a new map on Survival.  I love what I have so far, but won't die if it goes missing, but I also would like to fight monsters and stuff.

So like, should I be buying this by the end of the month if I want to get the good price? I was just holding out of monster killing mode.

I think it'll still be in alpha for a while, but yeah if you know you're going to buy it eventually anyway now is as good a time as any and better than some.

Monster killing mode is there, it's just single-player only.

A couple months back Notch mentioned that he'd be taking away the half-off deal once he fixed up multiplayer to be even with single player, but he hasn't mentioned it since, and I don't know if this coming patch would be that point anyway.

I've been messing around a bit in single player, but never bothered buying it because over free weekend I was able to get bored of multiplayer. If there is going to be a server reset though sounds like as good a chance as I'll get to start playing fr srs.

#4, possibly with some sort of server mod to make Creepers not a thing, though you can just lay down light and keep them away from important structures.  I like the presence of monsters.  Plus they're the only ways to get certain things.
