Dude, heck yes! Bring on the new map!!! I'm ready!

Your profile picture disagrees with you.

Do we still own our realms, or is it a free for all for the spawn realms? Also do credits carry over?

I would also like to receive the right answer for this.

It sucks when your not in the time zone

Whew, permanent. I was worried that it would suddenly just...well, die. Thanks for the great solution/reconciliation between the two views, Intelli!

Intelli said minerealm 5 is still very far in the future. A common currency may not exist. Realms, as we know them, may not exist.

[mtndewzane]

If realms do still exist in Minerealm 5, then spawn realms will most likely NOT be for sale. That is how 3.0 was, so I'd expect it to be similar to that.

Spawn realms were not sold until 3.0 had been running for 5+ months I believe.

(I bought the first spawn realm )

we will be moving the current server to a new permanent server at classic.minerealm.com

Option B
Move the current server (MineRealm 4.0) to a different server (classic.minerealm.com), making MineRealm 5.0 (game.minerealm.com) an all-new server. In the event that classic.minerealm.com is averaging less than 10 players, it would be discontinued.

Am i missing something? cuz i hope i am plz hAlp intelli

First off, we've never at any point been actually considering "wiping" the current map. As we've stated numerous times in the past, we don't feel that all of the time and effort put into the current map should be at any point lost.

That being said, around the time MineRealm 5 is released (which is still very far in the future), we will be moving the current server to a new permanent server at classic.minerealm.com

To clarify, does that mean that the current ("classic") map would NOT be subject to the "discontinued if averaging less than 10 players" idea that you described in the poll?

If this is the case, then I can definitely respect this decision even though I really would've preferred to keep everything within the current map.



Edit: Sorry for being redundant with Chubsy! He posted while I was still typing... great minds think alike, eh?

Seems reasoanble. Many thanks Intelli, though personally, I'm okay with a total wipe.

[The-Jack-DeCk]

Sorry for the mini-necro, but I think this was needed:

I'll save somebody else the time and answer all the common questions.

Will our realms stay?
Realms will be on 4.0 (the current server). In 5.0, there probably won't be realms. If there are, your realm will NOT be transferred to the 5.0 server.

Will our credits remain?
In the 4.0, yes. Nothing is changing on the 4.0 server (well, maybe some small tweaks, like minecraft updates or mob limits). Credits will probably not be on 5.0, and if they are, you'll start with a fresh account.

Will the chats be linked?
I asked shampoo. Even he doesn't know. This is a question for Intelli.

Will 4.0 be updated?
Not minerealm wise. However, logic says that minerealm.classic.com must be updated minecraft wise. If not, we'd have some tough times keeping our .minecraft files at 1.2.

Will there be a map wipe for 4.0?
(This question is only asked by the supremely uninformed.) Nope. This will still allow some new features, like villager trading and ender chests. But, certain other parts (jungles) will remain left out. (Unless specific chunks are wiped or other introduction methods are used, which is doubted.)
