New Map

Rolyd.com New Map Information Thread.
Pack your best diamond Armour and bring your best mining gear because rolyd.com is moving to a brand new map launching Sunday the 5th of April!
This is our first map change since the beginning of rolyd.com which launched in April 2011 when we were running Beta 1.5. We've experienced many plugin changes, staff changes and we've had many people come and go whilst relying on our little old map. Our map has now grown to over 24gigs in size, 8500+ unique logins, 25,000+ protected chests/doors and 2200+ regions! This is all from our humble beginnings in Roly's house in South Australia.
Our map has grown so much with many chunks generated before Minecraft 1.0 release with chunk generation changing multiple times since 2011. This has lead to multiple chunk errors, random chunks generating and our map is so large that it cannot be loaded in MCEdit. We sadly have had come to the decision of moving our current player base to a 1.8 generated map to ensure we don't lose our old map forever. The current GM and Moderator team have been hard at work since June 2014 preparing a new map with a brand new Admin shop, a very unique new mall and a brand new spawn!
This new map will be opened on Sunday, 5th of April with a huge party and multiple raffles where mods and GM's will be around to help you transition to the new map.
Information you need to know.
- Buildings won't be moved across to the new world.
- Money will not be reset.
- GM's will gladly move users chests of items over to help you with the transition.
- Old mall shops will be purchased back by Mall Co. in private agreements or can be traded for a new mall shop
- Mall shops will be limited to 1 users for 3 months to ensure all users have a chance at purchasing a shop.
- VIP users will now receive 10% off Mall shops.
- Server shop is ready and buying almost every block
- Server shop now sells passive animal eggs (only 6 types, you can find out which 1's later)
- Server Shop now buys and sells beacons
- Nether will be released 1 week after world map is released.
- Our new map has a farming town where the server will buy produce and meat.
- Our old map will be active for 6 months and then turn to a read only mode where users can explore old buildings.
- We are exploring the option of user built server towns once the new map is more established.
* Information may change without notice
More information will be announced as we reach 5/04/15.
If you have any questions, please post below or contact a GM/Moderator in game.
Thank you and we can't wait to see you on the new map!
