Awesome, Any idea on how many volcano's they are in the world?
WOOP WOOP!
Finally time to choose a living area... Hey Joe, can you tell me how many chunks the huge volcano is in that cluster? :3

WOOP WOOP!
Finally time to choose a living area... Hey Joe, can you tell me how many chunks the huge volcano is in that cluster? :3
It's about 19 chunks wide
pi r ^2 = ~283 chunks in area
and that's just the lava

Oh dear god...I want it as my home...but neb and I need to agree on a place, and that might be a little too big for us... :P Neb, find somewhere you like, and we can start narrowing down our options. There's an volcano island to the west some.
I like the one in the bottom left corner :3 It's fairly large :D http://gyazo.com/65b39258b597448a3b03583bffd241be (http://gyazo.com/65b39258b597448a3b03583bffd241be)WOOP WOOP!

That one ^
Also, Joe. I LOVE THE WAY THE WORLD LOOKS <3 I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL ALL OF THE MEMBERS COME ONLINE AND DESTROY IT'S BEAUTY ;)
... However, we have quite a large break which will roughly last until the 20-29th of January which we plan to slot the release sometime during the 2nd-29th. Unfortunately, I cannot give a specific date but use that as a rough estimate. When we feel it is appropriate to restart the launch clock we will do so. ...
<3 I have found the perfect place :3 <3
Are those waterfalls I see? Surrounded by some snowy mountains? It'll feel just like home when I look at the mountains blocking my view xD
It such a wonderful map Joe!
Oh wow that is beautiful...Gah you've got me all excited!
<3 I'm so excited!! I can't wait! The place looks so amazing! xD I'm going to live there with my sister (animecatdragon) and some friends! I think I might pass out from excitement! <3Oh wow that is beautiful...Gah you've got me all excited!
Took a few more top down views but the place is far too big to render in one view. Much exploration to be done!

I was actually going to live there XD lolOh my gosh! I'm sorry! Dx Is it okay if I live there too? I lived in a little mini-village with my sister and some friends in V5 so it would at least be me and her living there... would that be okay?<3 I have found the perfect place :3 <3

Eagerly awaiting the most important map of all: Mining world!
Guys, I need some help for when the server starts up.I think there will probably be a tutorial at spawn, but usually for chunks the command would be /claim
Is there a tutorial about how to claim some land in the wilderness?
I don't want to start not having a clue at all!
Hmm, I dont know where to put a house, in the townworld, or in the wildernis, Maybe ill juts put this RV at the gate of noobstown. :PIt doesn't look like it needs to drive, it looks like you could easily pack it up and take it with you!You might only need a friend or a donkey if you fill that double chest though. Either way, that is an awesome RV!

Basicly got everything I would need in such small space :P, to bad it doesnt drive.
When is the release date?It could be around 1-2 weeks, if nothing happens. That's only my guess though...
I've picked a spot~ It's perfect for what I have planned. Just have to get the funds to claim it all~How much are Wilderness claims going to cost? Is it first free and then more will cost extra?

I don't think a price has been stated, but I know the price goes up each time. You're going to need a bunch of money.
There are roughly 6 other islands in the same shape as that one, and at least 10 other lovely 'small' islands.
Hey Joe, could you show me a few screenshots of this area? Just so me and Esp can confirm we want this volcano? ;)

At which coordinates will we spawn in the wilderness? 0,65,0?

Small Volcano but an island of desolation, gravel and dead trees etc.
I have already found somewhere to settle: -1890,65,485Ohh! That looks like a nice place! Be careful when you dig below your house though, there a lot of caves there!

Close enough, it'll be more central to the large open plains we mapped for the spawn/chunky tutorial zone.

Esp already told you his thoughts a few posts earlier, why does he answer your question before you asked it? Have you guys messed with a timeexperiment again? You always mess up both of your timelines with that!Hey Joe, could you show me a few screenshots of this area? Just so me and Esp can confirm we want this volcano? ;)Small Volcano but an island of desolation, gravel and dead trees etc.
ooh thanks :) I think that might work.. Esp?? Thoughts? :3
I agree
Maybe it's because i can't view the map in 3D yet, but all four of my favorite 1.7 biomes don't seem to be present. Roofed Forest (Black Forest), Mesa (Bryce), Ice Plains Spikes, and Flower Forest. I might be missing something though. Also, would it be possible to add a smaller alternate wilderness map that has been generated by a random minecraft seed?
Like the mining world you mean? (Minus the plots)
Shhh you are giving away our secrets again! You lose another months pay!! ;)Esp already told you his thoughts a few posts earlier, why does he answer your question before you asked it?

No more timeexperiments for you, try something usefull for a change. Like geothermic magma-energycores or some highly flammable and combustible plasmathingies - just don't TRY TO MIX BOTH.
I wonder how much they listened this time.

My first impression with the Town World was "this is clearly not the default terrain generation".
Seems to me all the area around spawn is carefully manifactured, with clearly visible circles of trees/rough terrain around flattened land.
I'd rather have a natural looking land that I could _choose_ to flatten to build a town and a wilderness world that is truly wild.
Feels like for some reasons the admins thought that no one wanted to build a mountain village, a lake district or anything different from a featureless place with houses.
Flattening the terrain takes hours, agreed, but crafting mountains, forests and lakes takes even more...
Yes, that was exactly my point. If the land has been manufactured and features are repeated throughout (like islands), it feels like it has already been explored and crafted for me. I'd rather to do that myself. That's why I asked if an alternate wilderness map could be generated from a truly random looking minecraft seed. I also was hoping for some of those biomes I listed. The 1.7 seeds are amazing.Maybe it's because i can't view the map in 3D yet, but all four of my favorite 1.7 biomes don't seem to be present.

Yeah... welll, sorry if I can't see the 3D world on a 2D map.
from above it looks a bit 'disneyland' to me.

Your not alone Darkwings, I can't either. Dynamap does have a feature where you can "see" the world in a quasi-perspective view whereby you can view it and move around at an angle above the surface. This allows you to view the map in virtual 3D as you can see elevations as well. Apparently, this is suppressed, not included, or takes up too much data space for it to be shown here. It's pretty amazing, if any of you have ever seen it.from above it looks a bit 'disneyland' to me.
Whoa, that is freaky Dope, Disneyland was the analogy in my mind also. lol.
I to feel that the worlds look quit artificial.
As you might know I am a lover of the wild, would have also preferred it to look wild.
Walking around in it might give a different perspective, from above it looks a bit 'disneyland' to me.
But thats the eye in the sky view, from down below I suspect that feeling will fade.
OHHH , what a surprise that it isnt default generation, who on earth would have thought that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phJVG7hKg60#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phJVG7hKg60#ws)Maybe it's because i can't view the map in 3D yet, but all four of my favorite 1.7 biomes don't seem to be present.

All I've seen (and referred to as "flat land") were clearly manmade circles of trees/grass around plains and equally manmade rivers, together with the statement "consider building a town on a river".
Yes, that's it, but the resolution and navigation are pretty poor. It was suppressed exactly like I said it might be. I have seen it previously with the 3D as the default.
Is this not the 3D you were referring to?

There will always be critics and there will always be loud critics. If people are disinterested in the world, then they can go play somewhere else. But for those of us waiting with electric anticipation I am sure I speak for us when I say we simply cannot wait. The images we have been shown are incredibly special and I for one cannot wait to jump in and waste an incredible amount of time in this world. Keep up the good work guys and I hope we see you in game soon!
Fatnoob,
Did you ever consider asking some of your most dedicated players what they might like or not like for V6 before all the development work started? I know I was in the top 10 in total time spent in V5. I was in the top 5 in time after V6 was announced. If that doesn't count as dedicated, I don't know what does. I was also a multiple time donator. I don't recall ever being asked what preferences I might have, or what's important to me. Not only that, but I (just like everyone else) lost everything (mcmmo, builds, money, special items, etc., etc., etc...) especially all the time I invested. I wasn't given one lick of consideration, not one. When I try to suggest something important to me it is dismissed every single time. You might want think a moment about who really has a right to be annoyed at this point.
Max
You might want think a moment about who really has a right to be annoyed at this point.If this was a commercial server and we were customers I might agree with you - but this is their own private server they SHARE with us (for free!). They put a lot of work and money into it. So in my opinion (not in anyway related to fatnoobs opinion or the servers team) you might want to ask yourself the same question.
Did you ever consider asking some of your most dedicated players what they might like or not like for V6 before all the development work started? I know I was in the top 10 in total time spent in V5.Everyone was able to give their feedback and ideas in the forum, although most preferred to do so by chatting directly with someone in the servers team. Of course not everyones ideas fit the servers vision, so not every idea was aggreed with.
I was speaking for all of us dedicated members esp, using me as an example. None of us were asked and if Fatnoob is annoyed (whinning as you call it) he might want to look at the rest of us and what we've gone through. That is the point. How dare you claim that I think I'm more special than anyone else. You couldn't be more wrong.I haven't seen much "dedication" lately when it comes to you, first off all that other servers thats "better" because it does things different then we do, lets be honest if you say such things over and over again are you truely dedicated to this server? Second we are a special server, we have always been we now have a very unique map, which is to please as much people as we can, that ofcourse does not mean we can please everyone, but that doesnt mean either that a couple of rotten apples should spoil the whole bag. We give you the freedom to change the area to your likings, if you cant do that then why even bother us with it.
Just a note: since this is really going too far, please avoid quoting my previous post together with other stuff not coming from me.You have not been listening/looking,
The facts:
-The map offers an isometric view, not in-game 3D as the pics Fatnoob posted.
-The map is all I have at my disposal to make up my mind.
-Indeed the screenshots looks amazing, but I can't see that in the map and it takes quite a bit to load for me, so I judged based on what I could see in a 10 minutes scrolling.
-I failed to spot those underpasses, canyons and good stuff and focused on the "suspiciously convenient green circles around flattened land".
-It's been confimed that the land is partially manmade, with convenient access routes to wild spots.
If there are the 1.7 default biomes out there, good.
I couldn't find them in a 10-minutes scrolling, or I failed to recognize them hence my previous comments.
FYI: you can edit a quote, so when you quote something make sure to keep it in context.
You have not been listening/looking,
-first of all it doesnt matter if the map is not 3d, you judge on a map from a high up "eagle view", which is nothing like you will see it ingame, its just not the way to judge a map properly.
-I just posted the video of the custom biomes again, are you to ignorant to watch something before you post?
-Again like above, watch the video then you kinda get the idea other then that just wait for the actual release then, before you judge.
