Hey everyone,

UPDATE 12/15/2011:
The MineRealm survival map is now deemed permanent, and will not ever be wiped in the future.

Thanks!

If maps are permanant i believe the maps will need to be MUCH larger. Or have an inner area that is permanant and an outer area that resets. Of course i have no idea how you could do that.

I do believe that maps will be larger when they're more permanent... Until then... XDD I think you understand that you answered your own comment...

I assume Intelli will just start it off and expand it as needed.
I'd love the concept of a 1000x1000 entirely urbanized map, with suburbs slowly becoming rural the further out you get.

I would too, except it would get griefed a ton. Griefers wouldnt even have to travel to the next town because it would be right there

Because the further from spawn a griefer is, the easier it is to notice them griefing and ban them for it. Image

In the event of a new map, will the old map file be available for download? I would much like to keep the map with all of my work saved on it for my own personal server in the future.

I would like to note, that the current creative map will most likely remain as the permanent map for the creative server. I don't see why there should be any need to change it in the future.

But what if it gets so massively used that there is no more space to build?
