Plans for survival server?

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.
