Q: Is there a map wipe?
A: Yes! The tentative date for the new map is October 4, 2013.
Q: I thought that it was supposed to be October 1, 2013, what happened?
A: We at Herocraft Online Entertainment strive to create the most immersive and enjoyable experience; in order to achieve that goal, we require more time, so it will be a three day delay. We do apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to see you on the 4th!
Q: What is the name of the new map?
A: Haven.
Q: Will the new map be in version 1.6.2 or 1.6.4?
A: 1.6.4.
Q: What will happen with the Herocraft Olympics?
A: The Olympics will be in the new map.
Q: Will my titles be preserved on the new map?
A: The only titles that will carry over to Haven are supporter titles, purchased titles and contest-winner titles.
Q: Will voting be the only way to gain currency now?
A: No. Currency can be gained directly by voting, but indirectly by mining ore and killing monsters for fragments - which may be sold to The Exchange for coins. Voting is NOT intended to be the primary source of income.
Q: Will backpacks be available?
A: Yes. All Tier 8 Supporters and any future higher ranks of Supporter will have access to a large (36 slot) completely functional backpack. Those who purchased backpacks in the store will also have access to them.
Q: Will voter rewards transfer to the new map?
A: Item-rewards for voting will not transfer to the new map as of now, however the donor and store perks will transfer.
Q: Will we get to see the new map before release?
A: No. The new map is still under construction and will not be available until the day of release.
Q: Is the map reset date subject to change?
A: Yes. If new construction is not finished in time, an email will be sent out informing everyone of the change - but we're trying our hardest to get everything ready for you all.

A: Yes, the Tier 9 supporter rank will be added with the release of the new map. You can see the perks for the new tier on the wiki.
Q: What about the release of 1.7 and new biomes?
A: In order to prepare for this, the initial release of the map will be smaller than normal to prepare for the 1.7 expansion of the map and inclusion of new biomes.
Q: Will there be an in-game explanation of the map expansion?
A: That is dependent upon the lore master @Alator and other Lore writers. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
Q: What will the new economy be like?
A: It will be very similar to the economy now, however, gold is no longer used for currency - instead, there will be drops from mining and killing monsters that may be sold. Depending on how the economy functions, drop rates may be adjusted to create a more stable and free-flowing economy.
Q: Will my town's TeamSpeak Channel be deleted?

Q: Are you accepting applications for Staff positions for the upcoming map change?
A: We are always accepting applications. We do not accept just anyone and are very picky when it comes to staff. We only choose people who we believe are truly suited to be unbiased and help with the community.
