The only problem i had with this, that it lagged incredibly much. Im not sure if that's because the world was still rendering, or just the overall size of the map.
My friend totally added this as an alternate map to his SMP server. We already had a town occupying about 10 chunks in the overworld filled with skylands floating over illuminated forests and pastoral fields. (It's quite lovely!) He managed to rig it so ascending a ladder rising from the highest island in the town transports you to the first spawn area in Skylands, and passing through the door takes you back to the overworld. I know we don't have the password/alternate spawn capabilities on SMP, but the idea of RPG style adventures in MC sounds splendid!
I love this map. ;A; It makes a happy in my heart. Thank you for doing so much with it!
For Windows users first exit Minecraft then run the Skylands Spawn Password Tool located in the world folder you assigned Skylands to (if you want you may create a shortcut for it, just right click the program and hit CREATE SHORTCUT then move it wherever you please). When prompted insert your found password. You can change your spawn points at any time, but keep in mind that you will lose any items you are carrying!
For Mac and Linux users, first exit Minecraft and use the found passwords with the matching spawn point names on the locked zip files located in the .skylands_spawndata folder included in the Skylands installation package. Extract the contents of the file into the World folder that you installed Skylands into, overwriting the old files.
If you're running Windows, but the Windows instructions don't work, you could try the Mac/Linux instructions.
HUGE NEWS if you cant get to the wastelands and you have the crashing issue read this :
IF YOU BUILD A BRIDGE OUT TO IT WATCH VERY CARE FULLY YOU WILL NEED TO STOP 1 exactly 1 block away from the celestial wastelands and you have to JUMP when you jump you can go right over the single area that causes crashing and BOOyah you are on the desert.
That's strange, it should just convert the world format automatically when you start up the latest server program...
Well, I figured people would be tired of having to convert it now, since it takes forever to finish converting. Here's a converted version of it (all I've done in-game is look at the start tower and then close Minecraft, so it's basically a fresh map). If you don't have 7-zip, just download the regular zip version. The world itself is in the "Skylands 1.3" file, the readme/map are in the "extras" file. I'm not sure if the spawn mover will still work with the new world format, as I haven't tested it out yet; I suppose you'll just have to change it manually with MCEdit or something if it doesn't.
I FOUND THE HEAVEN AREA ITS GREAT YOU ONLY HAVE 10 TREES THERE AND ONLY COAL+REDSTONE ORE BUT.....
THE IRON GOLD AND DIAMOND ORES ARE REPLACED WITH BLOCKS ABSOLUTE WIN IS THAT AREA IT EVEN GOT SPAWN PASSWORD!!!!!
Uh. alright. Somethings messed up for me, i cant get through the spawn door, and the starter crate isnt a crate, it doesnt open. is anyone else getting this problem...?

This is what the readme says:

No more shall this be unseen!
Added this to EMS, sweeeet!
PM if you don't want it there, enjoy!

Im new to this stuff so can anybody tell me how i play this?
(how i start/downloads this custom world.)
To Install this you must
-locate %appdata% Vista and 7 open start search appdata and open .minecraft. Xp do the same but use run.
-open saves and copy and paste time!
-This is optional but You can create a shortcut for the password tool (Do this by Copy and paste shortcut not regular paste.)
Sometimes you just gotta say No!
I actually feel terror, and nausea, when I carefully construct a bridge.
