I hope you guys know we have to make a new map when 1.8 is released to get the new biomes and new dungeons.

Yes, OR (I like making a new map, and just pasting Ermor more) we can tediously explore past the game world already generated and hope that some of the 1.8 biomes, ravines, dungeons, and maybe a stronghold might spawn.

Just to let you two know, I offerd the idea to Quin before and he said that even the spawning in of The Thorn almost crashed the server. Something of that sized almost crashed the server, it would be impossible to copy and paste the whole entire city of Ermor. Although I wish it was possible, its not likely. Also I am on the fence on whether to restart the map or not. I am cool with it but to lose Ermor kinda sucks.

You'd be able to copy and pasted, small bits at a time, not the whole bloody city.

No, all you need to do is go to areas of the map that haven't been generated yet, and it will create new, 1.8 terrain features.

Thank God I don't want to have to start over again
Well then there will be large walls around the old chunks

Won't that lag horrendously since it will have to retain the generated stuff (Which is probably all over the place) AND THEN generate more? Plus the new stuff will be stupidly far away from anywhere.

No, why would it lag horrendously for using already generated land? Yes, you would need to go far away to use the new land features, but from what I can tell the only land thing other than biomes are the new dungeons and such, and having to adventure far to get to those makes sense.
I wouldn't mind a restart, as long As I could keep what I have on me, so I could quick grab my diamond/ other minerals and tools, and then when teh restart happens, I'm good to go.
If the map restarts, everything restarts. You don't keep anything at all.
I dont really have a problem loosing everything because you get it pretty fast back.
It will be alittle while yet before this update comes out, so i wouldn't worry about it just yet.
Well 1.8 is now out and i will be playing that for now
I'm in full support of a complete map restart - We can build an even better Ermor from scratch, and it'll be more fun having the 1.8 features near somewhere plausible to get to. Right now I'm having fun engaging in telekinetic combat in singleplayer creative mode!
So who has decided to update?
Me :3
Looks like we'll have to start from scratch when 1.9 comes out anyway....

Read my announcement.
After 1.9 we are definitely going to rebuild Ermor but I am going to stall Ermor's reconstruction until then to spare everyone a shard of unnecessary labor.
