Good you've rolled things back for us, Kyad. Sadly I lost a villager that I spent a lot of time digging out of the ground (at a Y of 11) after de-zombifying him and had been merrily farming my wheat fields when he and some of the other basic objects like fences went missing. It's nothing big, just a bit of a shame and means I have to start over with finding a zombie villager to heal and bring back.
EDIT: On the other hand it appears the used Golden Apple and splash potion returned to my inventory.
To make my post a little more interesting, and so not having to double post:
I'm glad to see more people on the server again. It seems like some 1.8.9 biomes have been generated so it should be possible to get newer resources that way. For that purpose I've built a nether portal to the extreme north of the available world space. By using the Nether and heading towards 'Eternal Winter', though at the moment of writing the road from that point onward is not entirely finished yet. I'll try to make the directions easy as soon as possible.
Will the server be updated to the newer versions in the near future? It appears the newest patches introduce a fair amount of new content.
