Hey guys! I am copying this here from the announcements on the server discord. To prevent people from voting twice, the voting is only available on the server discord. Rest assured, we are happy to answer questions. If you need additional info, you may contact the admins either via /mail or the server forum or discord. Please do not spam the same question to multiple people or the same question over and over. We will answer as soon as we can. (Believe it or not, Admins sleep sometimes and are often in different time zones). If we do not know the answer, we can find out for you.
Thanks for your help!

Due to the current map size causing a lot of lag & new (1.12/1.13) biomes/treasure being required to generate - I am considering a NEW map for 1.13. If this is something players want, this is what you can expect:
- Both the current map and 1.13 map will be open TOGETHER for 6 months to give players and staff time to adjust/move over.
- If the server starts to lag/crash due to the chunk loading of the new map, we may have to either A) Temporally ban the use of /speed in the world, or B) limit the worlds players for the first few days so the world loads.
- Staff will move builds from the current map to the new one via world edit, but due to the workload this has previously put on Emma & I - we will be making some players/builds a higher priority than others.
- We will only be transferring a certain pre-allocated number of builds/people per day, by a schedule that will be displayed on the forums. (This is to prevent stress on the admins)
- You do not have to be online for the transfer, you will be permitted to find a place for your home to be pasted and staff will mail you with a warp for your home.
- You will be able to apply for a slot via the forums, staff will NOT respond in game to players asking for their builds to be moved.
- We will be prioritising first world edit slots to Donators and Popular public warps/services.
- EVERYONE will be transferred to the new map via world edit within the 6 months. I would like to reiterate that NOBODY would be left behind. If for some reason, you are gone for longer than 6 months, we always keep backups of the world and will open it to retrieve your home.
- You will be allowed to live between maps for the whole duration of 6 months, you can continue to build on the 1.12 map for as long as you wish.
- New players who join the server will not have access to the 1.12 map, hence why we urge players with warps to ask for a slot.
- Warp movement due to the update will be free.
- Whilst we will have both maps up for 6 months, we will probably have most active players builds moved over within the first month of the update.
We hope you all understand why we will order the update like this, staff are under enough pressure as it is without the added strain of moving builds. We will post more info if we get enough thumbs up.
Thanks for your help!
