This is going to be awesome, can't wait... I just happened to stumble upon the map while googling for minecraft earth maps and this sounds way better than the 1:1500 scale version that Letslente has.
well actually is all ready was a server, then it went down... but thanks to Yotan its back up! that is one of the historical stories about this server, oh how many fun times I had on it! =)

Definitely will be worth having on a server
Lentebriesje his map was a attempt to copy and make a better version of the original 1:1880 map from salexp that this server was using for the last 2 years.
However my new 1:1000 map is made using the same geographical information as salexp his map so my map basicly looks like a 4 times larger version.
However I added a few upgrades,
Sea level is now minecraft default sea level. (old map had sea level at 40)
Ores are distributed corectly underground. (old map had diamond around the surface)
North on earth is now north on minecraft again. (old map was rotated due to the new anvil map format)
Adding over 100 rivers and lakes. (old map had around 50 rivers and no lakes)
Added all the new biomes so central africa has jungle aswell the amazon in south america ect. (the old map was made before we had biomes in minecraft)
Adding custom easter eggs across the map like stonehedge and the great pyramid of giza and many more.
And finally the map is made for survival so even thou it can be used for creative it will also be possible to use for survival.
Yotan, I have to ask: are we still using the city building system the last time the server was on, or do we default to the original building methods we had when the server started?

tbh I was thinking of holding a poll when the server is almost ready to ask what type of server people want the most.
first of all, I say we have a creative server.
secondly, I think I have ask this before but is the server gonna have a new website?
and third, Great Job Yotan your Awesome
P.S you have good English for someone from The Netherlands.

85% rendering reached, the entire 1:1000 map is now rendered!
...
Yeah I know that dosnt make sense so let me explain.
While I say the entire map is rendered, I have decided to re-render Europe.
The reason for this is because Europe was the first I did and was a test to see how good I was.
While the rest of the world looks fine, Europe looks a bit crappy in compairison so that is why I will ONLY re-render Europe.
This will add 7-8 more days of rendering for me but it will also mean that the map is top notch and truely worth the title "Best earth map ever"
Now after I re-render Europe I will start to look for land developers who can help me finish up the rivers and lakes.
While I am looking for that I will do the biomes painting which itself should take a few days I think but could also take a few weeks because I have never done a map of this size.
The map will be released in 4 waves.
September 2013: Server opens back up for public. (server will be opening sooner for developers)
October 2013: Creative version of the map will be up for download.
December 2013: Survival version will be up for download.
Summer 2014: Adventure version will be up for download. (using custom made dungeons to make it feel like an MMO)
We will also revert back to the old City Building Rank system and while we wont ask people to make certain things anymore we will use the rank system to show who is good at what.
City rank being people who can do interrior and Town rank being people who just do exterrior.
So you are free to decide what to build however having interrior or only exterrior and how nice buildings look will decide your rank.
We will also be using a NBZ again to prevent griefers from putting certain racist stuff on earth like in the past.
Yotan can people like me from the old server keep our ranks from the last server or will we have to get our ranks again???
also I remember the day I was curious of what people were building in Germany and GOD I have never seen so many swastikas before,
which reminds me will you need a server behaviour watch in case for example someone does a swastika or KKK references they can destroy it because I would be happy to apply, in fact I'd be happy for any admin or mod role in this server!also I sent you a msg. Yotan regarding the rivers and stuff I'd be happy to help though...

no such thing is needed because we are bringin the old NBZ (New Builders Zone) back which means nobody can build on earth unless they have proven themselfs in the NBZ.
Ranks are reset across the board accept for a few players who have been playing on the server for a long long time like Pes, Jer, Ninja, Pika, Qrs ect ect.
I am only talking about people who have been playing for about 1.5-2 years on the server.
Oh I thought you meant in case people were 'mis behaving' on the actual world.
Anyway I guess ill have to prove my building skills again to you :)Is there anyway I can prove to you Im a good builder if I send you some pictures of what I built or the map?

Being a good builder on the server is more then just building good stuff.
A good builders also knows the rules of conduct and dosnt annoy other players on the server and assists new players where needed.
speaking about stadiums, can someone or myself build the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia? it is a pretty hard task so I would like some help.Yotan, will it be possible to ask an admin/mod or even yourself to clear out trees in our plots, coz i remember last time building in Cuba it took at least 3 or 4 days to clear the trees out...

No, you want to build something so you have to put in the effort.
Well I guess ill have to do it like the colonist of the new world did! chop for your plot! :Dto be honest... I am so excited about this server... I have no idea where to build! I mean I'd probably build in Berlin because of its rich Prussian history, but I'd prefer an island so I have some sea but Portugal offers both of them! THERE SO MANY CHOICES!!!!!!!!
South africa is almost done.
Definitely will be worth having on a server

Chunk Count: 3.132.500
Block Count: 206.606.204.928
Yes thats right the map is over 200+ Billion blocks in size.
I should get a medal after the map is done ^.^
If you're non-human, you clearly and naturally underestimate us.
Would you accept stadiums that other players would construct? If so, I'd like to participate after a few in-game hours (after getting enough land).

No, you want to build something so you have to put in the effort.
The mountains are about the same height as before so slopes are a bit less steep this time around because everything is twice as width.
