There's a server wipe for every major update. It's most likely going to happen whether people like it or not.

Yes.

As for the realms at spawn, Intelli should leave those public for a short while, like what was done on this current map. And as for the glowstone worry, with the next MineRealm update, Intelli said the map would be basically infinite, so I would hope that goes for the nether too.

Yes, glowstone will never completely run out if the nether is infinite, but most of the stuff near the nether equivalent of major spawn points and other major hubs will quickly be taken. So expect it to still be scarce (particularly if I have something to do with it! )

I'm a late-comer to the server, but I'm still one of the major realm owners. It is possible for ANYONE to rapidly aquire wealth on this server. Considering the addition of an infinite map with the 3.5 Minerealm update, I can see no reason to deprive dedicated players of their hard work.

New players will have access to all the resources of any older player - all they have to do is work as hard as the older players have.

I like the idea of a map wipe for the game realese on 11/11/11 as long as we get reimbursed for our realms with credits

Indeed. We're not doing a full wipe.

The problem I see with the infinite, and sorry if this was brought up before, wouldnt it lag the map? And by infinite, how big are you exactly talking beyond what we have now?

The only thing an "infinite" map would change is the hard-disk space required for save files and possibly virtual memory. Lag scales with the number and proximity of players. As you add more players, the server has to distribute more chunk updates. Similarly, having many players near each other forces the server to send out each player's chunk updates to the entire group.

EDIT - Btw, the map we play on now is infinite in the literal sense of the word. The borders to the world are actually derived from the current version of the realms mod. With the new dynamic realm mod there will be no need for the mod to limit movement.

Whatever Uncle Intelli says is what goes, so I guess no REAL wipe. Maybe a second survival map?

And one laaast question: Farlands?
