Hehe, no wonder my browser crashes when I zoom in and out too much....

LOL, no, you're not download 4gb when you zoom out. It runs on the google maps system, so every layer is a completely new set of pictures, and your browser only loads what it needs to fit the current layer on the screen. Zoomed completely out, the entire map only takes up 80k. Zoomed all the way in, it takes up 2.36gb, but you're never viewing more than a tiny spec of that area at any one moment.

The server map (link in OP) has been updated.

Hahaha... I got lost the otherday showing Secura around, and was saying Hello to Therother. All I saw was this big forest and only thing I had on me was an ignitor.. you can see a big patch on the map where I have been.

Edit: Wow, the Waterworld Base is even on that map!

I see what has happened, it generators the entire explored world. Very interesting. You get to see how far I went on my ever long journey. What is surprising is where the Snow biome infact quite close and no where near where TinCow told me that time.

The Ender portal is up! Why did no one say?

Yeah, it displays the entire generated world, but the world is only generated as people explore, so there are many gaps. To give you a sense of scale, the snow biome is at around 1,500 to 2,000 'meters' from the spawn point, with 'meters' being the unit of measurement listed in the X, Y, and Z coordinates. The world itself extends out to 30,000,000 meters in all directions from the spawn point. So, we've only actually explored about 1/10,000 of one percent of the total world. It's a big game.

Sorry Tiaexz, I meant to post that the end gate was completed, but I completely forgot about it. I went in it and played around a bit with the dragon

I destroyed one of the towers in there, but died in the process, because I did not know they exploded.

I went out past where the end fortress across a massive ocean and found a swamp biome and a few small islands.
