So, I forsee city real estate getting super expensive. And some city walls will be destroyed. Everyone will huddle in the cities. The stronger the city wall, the better. Actual gates will have to be built. Obsidian will quickly become super valuable, and possibly wood also. Food will be in high demand (I need a few piggy spawners but then that's fixed ). All areas will have to be carefully secured and lighted to avoid spawns in the city. I'm not sure how creepers+zones would work, but that might prove interesting. Everyone will be hurriedly crafting and selling weapons and armor. This might actually even out block prices, as no one can get far without being attacked. Torches will be selling well. It will be interesting how the chrono will factor in though. I forsee constant day . New cities will be MUCH harder to start. Not sure how death and the inventory will work. Hopefully redstone, doors and minecarts will work! I see a well-lit, Arial minecart track

So, what do you think will happen?

I forsee a totally disfunctional notch apocalypse of server mayhem.

Basically smp will go to the dogs.

I will roughly quote fragmer on this:

1. The website will be down for 2-3 days, so nobody will be able to play SMP
2. The server will be buggy as crap and close to unplayable for the next 1-2 weeks
3. After ~2 weeks community coders will actually patch stuff up enough BUT this is when the next update will break everything ;-)

Well, me and my friend's new city will be underground so im hoping well be ok also, whats the deal with difficulties? i mean...what if i change it to "peaceful" but my friend has it on "hard" will there even BE any difficulties after enemies come in to smp? Anyone know ANYTHING about this?

Difficulty will be server-side. The problem right now is getting everything from client-side to server-side. That is why we don't have health, because the server cannot track it. But in saying that, who knows the future of minecraft.

Yeah, by the time this all happens I'll just quickly move my stuff to my other house, and to a shop/house in some kind of city. My current warehouse/shop/semi-home outside of SPAridise city wont cut it. I have a pretty good place picked out near the border with some stuff, ill just develop there.

Everyone will come to aperture city wanting to by land, shops and storage, watch the pvp arena matches and then look down over the edge watching the countless mobs 30 blocks below.

3 Weeks later
No room left in city for shops and buildings even with size restrictions and all the city's mines are completely stepped of all resources.

Fuck health, fuck mobs.

Plenty to do without this shit.

The end of time is comming!

Hmmm. I'll just move to my new mini-city near a warp point. A few islands next to the border with houses, a mine, a underground base thing, a tree farm and a chrono. And that's just what's there right now! I have BIG plans for that area.

Notch will break the map-file(s?) with his fancy not-that-great-looking biomes and we all have to start over again.

Biomes shouldnt break current saves. You'll just have to walk to new areas to find the biomes (meaning we don't have to deal with them! Horray!)

Well, worst case senario is that we have to start over with no /item to ruin the economy at the beggining, and mobs to make everything harder!
It'd suck, but it wouldnt exactly be the end of the world.

I'm not moving to a city. I'm going to expand my farm and protect myself with walls of trees. With all the griefing going on, something tells me that cities won't be the safest of places to live.

"Who made a hole in the city wall? Who was it?!!1 Arr! Incoming mobs!!1 FLEE!"

Yeah.... I'll just defend my base. It's on a few islands, so torches and a wall or two (and maybe secret underwater entrances) will protect it okay. I have a tree farm so no need at all for wood, it's near (ok, right next to) the border, and I have a shaft leading to bedrock with plenty of ore and a underground base. There is a warehouse in the base, and a furnace room, and a cobble factory. I have BIG plans though, maybe a pool, obsidian factory, lava/water storage room, underground farm, canals to get around maybe, armory and much, much more! And I have a small house already built, and a larger house too with a secret room and more. Plus, a papryus farm is semi-built, and a cactus farm might be next. Also, I have a chrono/lookout tower, and I might expand the tree farm quite a bit. I'm considering moving all my stuff there and /sethome it. Anyway, I have big plans. I'm also thinking of snagging a plot in kaizoku city, as I have like $600. Maybe I'll also dig out an obsenly huge cavern with powerpick and call it a branch mine. Idk.

Make a hole down... and have an underground base perfectly lit; there you go, a perfect hideout. Close the hole with any block you want.

I will take shelter in the fountain xes made.

Not if I beat you there!

OK - as predicted for now the update is kinda a fuck-up. I won't run the server until all the mods etc. are updated but I might set up a temporary one to fool around on until everything is fine.
