This is a minecraft thread, I feel like you're asking the impossible from them.
Ikr, every time I type out a long well-reasoned argument, I get a 1 sentence response often with swear words in it xD

Still, the laughs I get out of it are worth it.

I'm sti  lsad no one at all is on. Kinda makes sense. After all, what's the point of starting OR finishing anything anymore?

Well that's part of the reason I'm suggesting mods...I have a feeling that attitude is going to stay if there's not something new to look forward to, which would mean the server completely dying >.<

Well the server's going to switch over, so everyone's probably just waiting for that. I've been planning on paper what I'm going to build when it gets changed over.
Though I want to take some screens of my builds so if the server's going to get changed before like August 2/3rd I may go on and do that before it happens.

I honestly don't know that I'm going to build much of anything once the change happens.  I feel like I've put a lot of mental investment into my own little piece of turf, and once that goes...well, I don't really feel like trying to start the whole process all over again.

I've hopped on occasionally, but nobody else has been on either. Personally I'll be on more once A) 1.3 comes out, and B) I finish up Dark Angel (got 5 episodes left). :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

If that attitude were prevalent in all participating players that might be a possibility, but some such as myself have said we don't mind the restart and will play regardless so that's not really the case. Further if I'm not mistaken you were hoping for mod integration since before the reset announcement so you likely would have brought up this issue irrespective of anyone's sentiments.

 I probably should've mentioned this before, but before we start messing around with new terrain generator mods I think we should at least give 1.3's terrain gen a try...

I guess it depends on the amount of work invested.
If you only built a single house, ti's no big loss.
Also, it doesn't have to be prevalent in all. It's enough that half the palyers loose interest, and the server will already feel like a ghost town.

btw Qaz, any ideas on what seed you will be using?

No idea mate, part of me wanted to go rather trolltastic, use a 20km ocean seed, "forget" to give sandwich and kyad login details and dissapear for a month.

FireSpawn would find this humorous
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

It's changed very little since 1.8, the biomes are exactly the same with the only new additions being cocoa trees in jungles, 2 extra dungeon types, and slightly different NPC village design. So in other words...it still sucks.

EDIT: Oh and there's a "large biome" option on world creation now. Same crappy biomes, but wayyy bigger (ocean = pain)
