Plans for survival server?

[mortexic]

I've been a little out of the loop since just before the whole .com / .net split thing, so forgive me if this is a woefully ignorant question ...

What is the current plan for the survival server with 1.0 out now? Is there still a plan for some kind of map reset with item rollover, or is the 1.8 map now "perm", or ... ?

There are plans for a map reset with item rollover that is currently in the works as you can imagine the item rollover will take a lot of work and not be in any way easy.

Awesome, thanks for the update. Figured I'd get back up to speed with what the long term plan was before I went nuts harvesting more stacks of stuff

Actually.. The majority of the code for the item rollover is already implemented, so it will be fairly simple.

Quite simply anything you have in a private chest with you set as the primary owner will be stored in a database. Any items which belong to you in that database will be retrievable via recovery chests, which will probably be near/in spawn in the 1.0 map.
