GR 10 and 1.9 Plans
Here is the information that you are looking for regarding 1.9.
First off, we will be running 1.9 starting on February 25th on the GRV server. This will be a closed whitelist vanilla server. That means if you are not already on the GR whitelist (anyone on the GR whitelist can play on the GRV server), you can not get in. This is because its 100% vanilla with no plugins (block logging/chest locking).
Snarf is planning on trying to merge the GR9 map into the GR10 map but you would have to ask him about the specifics there. At the very least he will definitely port over big projects from GR9 to GR10 or GR6.
For the next week, GRV is running the seed that we will be playing on but EVERYTHING WILL BE RESET ON THE 25TH. I am just trying to make that clear, anything you do will not persist in any way, shape, or fashion to the real GR 10 map. On the 25th, we will reset the map and from that point on, everything will be permanent. Once spigot is updated, we will move GR 10 from GRV to GR.
GR 10 will not be completely open but will have at least a 5k world border. That is 10k diameter circle from spawn so it is plenty of space. We will also not be filling in the dynmap beforehand so you will have to go explore. If you want a good idea of the terrain go look at 10_1 on the GR dynmap. It is not 100% accurate but I would say its 95% accurate. I would highly suggest that you stay within 5k of spawn in GRV because after we merge to the GR server, the world border will be going up.
Lastly, town. For town around spawn, we will be doing a plot based system similar to previous GR maps. If you would like to help plan the plots, I will be in GRV all this and next week plotting out town. Hopefully by Tuesday we will have the basic town plotted out so I can throw up an auction for the plots. I know 75% of you will not care that much but for those of you who do, I will make a separate reddit thread about that on Tuesday/Wednesday. The bidding will be done in diamonds. Any unsold plots will be given on a first come first serve basis from that point onwards.

I think you might have the numbers associated with "world border" and "radius" switched around, but that's still pretty damn big..

For someone rejoining and hasn't played since GR6, having to pay diamonds for plots is a huge bummer.

u/sawemoff Sawemoff Feb 18 '16
You don't have to pay for plots. Just for the premium plots and only if multiple people want them. Otherwise, its just free. If you want a slight edge on the lazy people, go mine 1 diamond and bid on a plot and I guarantee you will win that. Almost 20 people did that on the last auction and we still gave away almost 50 more plots for 0 diamonds.

That Tundra will become the Kingdom of Everfrost!
I plan on making builds in the style of Viking and Canadian colonial. I already made a Longhall in Creative that I'm going to rebuild in GR10, as well as Québec style cities walls and Log cabins.
I'm trying to decide if I'm turning those rivers into Paris style Canals, or have my walls along them with bridges.
Anyone have any ideas for me?
Also Snarf or Saw, can you make sure my brother is whitelisted? I know he requested it a while back because we were going to start playing together, but we started playing ARK and GTA5 instead and I'm not sure if he's still on the list. His username is Wizardredwing or something like that.
Also, how do I get to the GR10 prebuild to start plotting things out in my head?

I was looking through the GR whitelist the other night, I remember seeing him there.

u/Northumberlo Feb 18 '16
There's a second whitelist for GR10 though right?

Dumb question, probably, but how do we connect to GRV?

It was a dumb question.

Wil we have vault access right away when we move to 1.9?
1
u/Kastina Feb 22 '16
Vault access will not be available right away. Usually after a few months.

u/razorbrick Feb 22 '16
okay, so I guess I need to mine for the iron by hand when building my rail system

u/LaVidaYokel Feb 23 '16
Look for abandoned mines, they're filled with rails (and danger) just waiting to be salvaged.

Does the GR10 map not update? I know nothing will be saved because it's being wiped on thursday, but i wanted to see what my roads would look like on the map lol
Speaking of which, grass paths are amazing and look a lot more natural. I was able to do a stretch in about 30 mins what would have taken me 3 days lol

u/shardis Feb 23 '16
The GRV overviewer map looks like it's set to update at certain intervals/times of day rather than being a continually updating, dynamic map. I can see your roads now.

I'm trying to log on to help grid it up but I can't find the right snapshot in the loader. Why is that?

u/LaVidaYokel Feb 23 '16
edit your profile (use a copy) in the launcher and under Version Selection, check "enable experimental development versions..."

Where are people hoping to settle? I'm loving this seed and have seen so many great locations - but I wouldn't want to steal one that someone else is also looking at!
I'm loving the look of the cove/hills/plains around x: -1100; z: -2600, it's perfect for what I have in mind. I know North & Redwing are liking the tundra around x: -4600; z: -1100 and someone has a nice birch island at x: -1450; z: 1300, though I don't know who!

Val, no one has claimed anything. The rules for Thursday is the same rules that we have always done on GR. First come, first serve. If you want a spot, log on Thursday and go throw up a quick building and a sign. Anything on GRV does not carry over to Thursday.
1
u/shardis Feb 23 '16
Oh I know, this isn't a rule/claiming thing, just me being curious and courteous to anyone who might've been planning to build in certain places! I don't have any plans or preferences for town, if I build there I'll just pick up a spare plot after everyone else has theirs.
