Large Biomes for 1.3 Update?

[Fluz43]

Can we have a vote, official or not, to see at least if anyone wants to have large biomes on SPM for the 1.3 update? (Hosting my own) Also we might need a reset in the upcoming months, because people are now breaking the 200,000 block limit because it has been so long since we had a reset. When 1.3 reaches the main server, I'm going to get near, if not past, the .2M limit on one of my accounts.
Last, will there be another temporary 1.3 update when it comes out?

I must've missed something with regards to the large biomes, are they optional?

The only reason I could think of for a reset would be the worldfiles, last backup was 26.4GB for the overworld alone, that was in may. This makes backups impractical and as such infrequent. Does it really matter if people are 200k out?

You mean a temporary server for 1.3? We'll see.

Oh and gonna move the thread a bit :)

i didn't vote cuz there's not a no option. From what i read you can switch world type in the server options. I have no idea if it would reset old chunks, but i don't see why it would as a post world creation option. But i mostly worry about how much space will be wasted on water. En route to avalon was a 30K ocean. With the 4x larger biomes such an ocean would be 120K to sail across.

Yeah, ocean I travelled before was 230k with few continents. multiply that by 4 and we dont have any land whatsoever.

I do not feel like we need large biomes at all. The existing one are enough and keep us interested, not bored and sick of travelling endlessly through it.
Optionally I could agree to make them bit bigger, but no more than half bigger.
And I believe, that new biomes would be generated, as map would be discovered. So no reset would be needed.

As long as fucking oceans don't get any bigger then they already are, I could care less.

I second that. I have had to travel through dozens of thousands of metres in the ocean with my boat constantly blowing up to get to some places.....is that fixed btw? and anyways.....my vote is no.

I don't think it's fixed because it only happens on this server and sporadically on others, which means it must be something with the lag when people join or lag due to so many people being on. Perhaps we should lower 50 MAX to 40 MAX since we never have more than 30 people on the server at once?

[Yukar9]

If we never have more than 30 people on the server what's the point of lowering the max? The physical server isn't currently having any problems keeping up, lag is caused by glitches in minecraft. Lowering cap wouldn't affect this.

We seem to be suffering from more lag recently with ops being unable to perform restarts
