MC 1.8 = 9/21 6PM CST

[Kainzo]

That's it! You heard it, we'll be introducing 1.8.1 at 6PM CST on 9/21 - so ready the exploring hat because the map is getting expanded by 1000R!
Other things to note, Patch 2.7.1 will probably be coming in as well, not all changes will be in at once

Some of the functions with Heroes won't be 100%
They aren't game breaking or too hindering and will be fixed in following patches.

 

[Kainzo]

Also to note.

1) There will be more lag.
2) New areas = more ore / more gold!
3) There will be more lag.

I cant wait, this will change the way the game is played with the health/food changes. Not to mention all the raw resources that will be in the new frontier.

So, the 1000 expansion will be generated using the 1.8 algorithm? i.e. larger biomes, ravines, etc ?

Don't forget NPC villages and abandon mineshafts.

Can't wait. 1.8.1 would be a great addition for server like this!

"Fixed a few annoying lighting bugs, like fences under walls and such. We're hoping (HOPING!) to release something tomorrow."
