Server Updated to 1.4.6

Have fun everyone and happy holidays to you all!
And on the Third Day, The Server Rose Again
Fine citizens of TottonCraft,
After weathering Hurricane Sandy, it is with great relief that I can deliver the following message to you all:
WE’RE BACK!!!
We had right around 73 hours of downtime. Lost power at about 5:00PM Monday, and it has been restored at approximately 6:00PM Thursday. Thankfully, we suffered no damage to our property, and the generator we had got us by. In comparison to how bad Long Island and New Jersey had it, we are very fortunate.
Thank you all for your patience during the downtime, and let the games resume!
1.4 is Live!
You can now connect to play.tottoncraft.com to enter our brand new map on 1.4. With this update no items will be carried across, so that everyone starts off with nothing. And the results from the poll tells us the majority of you would like us to stay on hard difficulty.
While we are waiting for bukkit to update the server will be running vanilla. This means no plugins or other fancy stuff. Once bukkit is available for 1.4 we will promptly switch to it.
This map, like stated on here and the subreddit, will have a border limit. Exact details will be announced soon. As long as you stay on the big island you will be fine.
What about the old map? The old map will be cleaned up and hosted on the internet somewhere. We will announce it on the subreddit and on here when it becomes available to download. Price will be $9.99. (lol)
The Hardcore server has also been turned off and will be available to download if people want it.
TottonCraft and 1.4
We will go live tomorrow with 1.4, this will replace the current map with a new one using the large biome option.
More details coming tomorrow!
1.4 Discussion
With 1.4 releasing soon we need to decide together what we would like to happen on the server. As with all decisions on TottonCraft, we would like everyone to have some input so that when the update rolls out nobody is unhappy or unaware of the proposed plan.
Many of us have been discussing this already on mumble and we have come up with a few scenarios. All of these will require a new map.
- Creating an island with a 2k radius with sea around it, once a new update comes out more land would be generated and a bridge could be constructed to link the lands together. The downsides of this particular plan is that it would require loads of preparation and maintenance (aka downtime). Also all strongholds etc would only be on the original mainland. The main positive is that it would be 1 permanent world and new maps would not be needed for following updates.
- A new map with a 2k radius, like number 1, but when a new update comes out we would again need a new map for new terrain features. Like the current map and the one previous the lifespan would again be a year. This plan would need no maintenance, the border would be regulated by a plugin and the live map would look sexy.
- A new map with no border limit, resulting in an ugly live map, huge trails of land that has no use and wasted disk space. But however lets players explore more.
Another point that we have discussed and one that we would love to implement is that players must work as a team, no more wandering off playing single player. Lets build a city together, roads, trade, create jobs for each other. The current main city looks amazing as it is, imagine what we could create if everyone worked together all the time.
Just like with the transition from the alpha/beta world to the current, players may bring over all resources that they have. Once 1.4 is released and installed on the server we will do 1 final backup of the current world and after a set time we will release the map for everyone to download.
These ideas are what we have discussed on mumble but if anyone else has any other ideas please comment below, on reddit or on mumble. We will listen to all suggestions.
Thanks!
