Org Minecraft Server

I'm totally game with doing a new wipe. Every single project I've done has been a disappointment for me, so a fresh start would definitely be refreshing.

It would be interesting to see how a city can develop when everyone works on it full time.

I don't have a massive time investment in the current world, but I'd really hate the double-loss of both the world and the community here if we do end up not being able to recover the world. I have loved the Orgcraft community's trust and cooperation -- extremely hard to find that elsewhere.

That's about the response I expected. After a particularly catastrophic data loss back in 2009, I've had multiple refreshing data storage systems, both on my computer, a hard drive, and online, to a lesser extent. If you get it back, I might suggest every 2 or 3 weeks, creating a backup world file automatically. I distrust cloud/off-site storage for my primary/only line of data storage, and this is why.

The person I was talking to said it was impossible to recover the data. It seems clear that most of you want the server to keep going, so I will begin work on finding a new host and getting a server online and setup. So far no one has expressed a preference for a 6-month old save, so unless the discussion moves that way soon the world will be fresh.

TinCow, I would be very interested in getting the 6 month old save file from our world, wether we decide to continue from it or not.

There have been so many fantastic places which I meant to visit and never did. I would really love to at least see them offlline and learn what I can from them. Perhaps you can upload the savegame somewhere at the Org?

Just another thought, what if we used the 6 month old backup to save whatever we can (city, arena, and a couple of other prominent structures) and then regenerated most of the map with new biomes. If we could move the spawn point, then the old city would become a second city and a new central city could be built from scratch around the new spawn location?

However

An idea...

Go on with what is essentially a clean reset. We will have a new world with all the new biomes, and all the potential that comes with it, and TC will be able to implement some sort of backup scheme to cover our asses if something like this happens again.

Furthermore...

Tuuvi has a point about FTB. Perhaps two worlds, one semi-vanilla as before, and one FTB would work? My dream scenario entails starting with Vanilla, and unlocking access to a separate FTB world for people to go to/stay in if they want. If possible, Orgcraft could have the regular semi-vanilla world, FTB world, the Nether, the End, the unmapped world (whatever it was called), and have it all contained in the discrete live server map.

Thoughts?
