Hello everyone, as you can see from the title of this thread, we have new biome updates! This is worth the announcement not only because more biomes have been added, but also because a third ocean has been added!
I'll go over a brief list of changes that the map has come under in this most recent update below:Both oceans have been restored as well as the addition of a third ocean that is located to the right of spawn.
The left ocean has been filled with lava instead of water just to shake things up a bit.
Many places with griefed terrain have been restored to their healthy selves.
A large snow biome has been added.
Two large desert biomes have been added.
Some biomes have been restored to normal grass instead of Hallow.
More random ore and minerals have been placed in the map.
A lot of existing biomes have been more realistically improved to make the landscape more astheticly pleasing.
-------------------------------Other features in this update:Many griefed houses that have been inactive for quite a while have been removed (not all).
There was a rollback so if you lost your house sorry but you can always rebuild it.
The random dirt griefing around various parts of the server has been removed.
-------------------------------Other notes:I know that some of you may see this as a minor update, but keep in mind that without nice looking terrain, the overall game is of lower quality, which is no fun for anyone.
Knowing the type of people in this world on a general scale makes me think that a lot of this new terrain and biomes will be griefed and look bad again by the end of the week, so if you support the server and want to help out, maybe you might want to consider not digging any hellevators (there's a perfectly good one at spawn), not flattening out the terrain unless neccisary (maybe build into it instead ;)), and maybe even raise awareness of the fact that the landscape should stay nice looking. If you see somebody ruining the landscape try to explain to them what I've said here or even tell them to read this themselves.
-------------------------------Thanks for taking the time to read this everybody hopefully the landscape can stay nice for everybody.
