Also, seems the chest protection/locking is gone too with the server change.
All previously private chests are now public.
Just a heads-up if you find your most valubale items missing - it wasn't me.
Also, while I'm a generous guy and I freely let anyone plunder my chests wihout asking, I draw the line at the really rare ones - dimonds, emeralds, mossy cobblstone, etc... For those you have to ask.
EDIT:
Another discovery - all the lamp posts along the gravel roads from spawn? They are too damn low.
Riding a horse along the road you end up hurtin and smacking every one of them.
