My preference is "No".

When it comes to biomes, i prefer au naturale, "Vanilla" generation.

Changes to how biomes are generated brings up a concern of mine, I dont imagine there will be a second wipe when minecraft releases (its beta remember). What considerations are being made for keeping minerealm's biomes up to date as new releases appear? (assuming biome generation changes after 1.9)

I agree large bodies of water might be a navigational nuisance, use a boat.

I vote "No" in support of island nations.

I love oceans. :O
-votes no-

I'd vote no. I'll admit HUGE oceans would be inconvinient but it would still be kind of fun to have actual distant continents that only the brave/clever are able to reach initially and would then have rights to the new areas. I'm sure a great bridge would be constructed to any continents with a large enough population.

If you don't want to cross the ocean.....don't. I'm sure there will be plenty of land in other places too, there are more than just 2 biomes.

>.> if we're taking out oceans because some people are too lazy to just play the game as it is, we might as well add flymod and speedhacks to survival. So the people who are too lazy to walk/sprint places or build a ladder can be put at ease as well.

This. Oceans are an intended feature of normal minecraft. And it's not like they're made of perpetually exploding lava or anything, jeez people, chop down a tree and make a boat.

I like oceans. In fact I would prefer oceans as my realms (I am going to be building elevated platforms anyway and over an ocean is just cooler). If you start "editing" the landscape then I think the survival part of the server is diminished some what. If the map is truely going to be infinite then I dont think there will be a problem at all with having large oceans as part of the terrain. IMO it will just add to the flavor of the game.

I voted no. Save the oceans!

Tsk tsk... It's not because people are; said "too lazy," rather then it making a complete waste of space purchasable. I could stop there, and the point would be proven but it seems it's gonna take some extra convincing for you hard headed fellows.

If you want an "island realm," or whatever, that is simple. Areas where realms are owned don't get converted, and the realms around that don't either to keep a giant ocean feel near island realms. Either way, this is getting rejected because majority rules on a poll intelli made, but voicing my opinion hopefully will open the minds of your simpleminded folk who voted no.

[Intelli]

How about just replacing oceans within the main 8,000 x 8,000 area of the map? (still oceans on the outer edge)

At any rate, if we leave oceans in, they're going to be odd, due to realms being scattered everywhere within them.
