My question is if our current saved worlds will still be there when the real game launches. I wouldn't want to keep spending time searching hard for diamonds only to lose my world when we leave beta. Maybe it's a silly question but I don't know, thanks for any help.
they should work, although i would do all my exploring now. Any tweak to the land generator code is going to cause abrupt, ugly changes in the landscape where the old generator land meets the new generator land
Yeah, he has stopped claiming that people should not get attached to their worlds so we are likely to still be able to play on it.
I still have my First world (Alpha).
I was the second person to use the avatar I have. The rest took it from me. The first I asked, he said yes.
I know what I'm doing. I plan ahead, or get tired and screw up everything.
Besides, he did it (flawlessly) for the transition between Alpha and Beta, plus the Halloween update and other generator changes.
