Do to the claims of the original project being fake or fraudulent, I have decided to recreate it myself, following a more scientific approach.
What will be done differently:
The test will take place in the most recent update release. (1.3, I believe.)
All biomes will be added to the area. (Or at least chunks from every biome.)
The server will be on 24/7, running on a dedicated machine. (Debatable, as this will severely affect the experiment.)
Snapshots or videos of the map's progress will be taken at least daily.
Adding a dating system to create the effect of time. Each real day will equal one decade. The game will start in the 1700s. (Just an idea.)
I will actively update this forum with the world's progress.
The nether will either be disabled or restricted.
I will attempt to add a plugin that disables entity clean-up.
I will also attempt to make water limited. (That would be interesting.)
If you have any more ideas/suggestions, please post them below.
I'll update this once it is set up. If you are interested in joining, please fill out the form below and send it to me in a private message.

"The server will be on 24/7"
Sorry, this isn't gonna work. Lots of maps on /r/limitedservers were 24/7 and were griefed to hell before anything interesting happened.
"The server will be on 24/7"
Sorry, this isn't gonna work. Lots of maps on /r/limitedservers were 24/7 and were griefed to hell before anything interesting happened.
I don't believe you understand the experiment fully. There are no rules with-in the walls. The only rules are not to leave. The goal is to survive off of the land, whether it be working together, forming a society, organizing armies, or simply griefing.
This isn't a "go cut some trees and make a beautiful house, only to rage-quit when it's greifed" server. It's an experiment to witness how players survive when they cannot excape the others and are forced to share the world with them.
But, yes, you have a point. A 24/7 server would have flaws, such as other players not being there to defend themselves and would cause and imbalance in the game. However, I don't see a way around this, as there is no way to have everybody join in at the same times.
Darkhaven Minecraft is running this experiment in 4 hours from now (7pm GMT-5 EST). We have at least a dozen of our own members signed up, although anyone that wishes to participate is free to do so. We are offering the map with restricted hours, IE from 7pm to 1am the first night, then 12 hours a day until Monday.
Simply visit www.darkhavenmc.org as our IP. You can sign up on the forums and read information there or on our Facebook event. We currently have about 20 people participating, and the event begins in 2 1/2 hours.

I would like to join your experiment to get a feel of how things turn out. However, you should know that I do not own a premium client (I didn't buy the game) and will not be able to join unless you are comfortable with running it in offline mode.

I now have a Facebook page. I recommend that you join for more up-to-date info.
On another note, the server will soon be open for a preview look. You will be set to explore mode and are free to look around. Planned opening time is set for 17:00 or 5:00 pm, PST (-8:00). At this time, there will be no whitelist, so if you just want to take a sneek-peek at how it looks before deciding to join, feel free to do so.

Got any ideas?
Well, let me reword that:
Other than lots of griefing, nothing interesting will happen, and people will most likely quit.
Every other closed map experiment is flawed due to how everyone is never on at the same time, and how people will quit after the first session.
The best thing to do is to gather people IN REAL LIFE to do the experiment.

Are there only going to be 4 players? That would be quite uninteresting. Also, if you're still having trouble with port forwarding, I can help you with that. Just add my skype (m4ge123).
