Tylui added a dynamic map.
It updates (slowly) when blocks are placed or destroyed.  A chunk is only added to the map once updated in that manner, so most is as yet missing.  For this reason, it is not yet replacing the static maps.
EDIT: It is integrated with the site now.

Hehehe it's like stalking the server from a satellite! You can see people moving and talking and stuff. This is awesome.

Edit: Hmm looks like it doesn't know which map people are on, but that's a pretty minor complaint.

FFFFFF.
So the multiverse turns out to be unthreaded.
Major-ass slowdown on the server end from these maps.
I'll bug Dinnerbone until he gets around to threading them (as I don't see why they can't be), but in the meantime, let's take a vote.
Do we prefer the lack of lag or the MultiVerse?
Thus:
Should we run multiple worlds?

I guess depends on whether your server host can handle it?

"Yes but it lags."

Would "multiple worlds" include the Nether? Truth be told I don't think I'll ever really go back to Wicked, but I've been looking forward to the Nether.

EDIT:  Currently doing a test run of just the Nether.

EDIT: Disregard this post.

I'm doing a LAN minecraft project, which is why I haven't been on for a while.

Jaycraft has, once again, left IRC, but the server is still up.

Also, I really suspect that at least some of the lag problems might be the java garbage collector. Apparently, the default one is good enough, but minecraft runs better if you find a particularily good combination of startup parameters, since when the garbage collector has a lot of work to do, it pauses the rest of the program, so using a garbage collector that is set up to aim for running less than half a second even if it means running more often, or in a number of separate threads, will noticably pause the game far less often.

The reason for my suspicion is that one of the times when lag can be bad, is when a player exits the server. That would probably unload a whole bunch of nearby chunks, and whatever data is attached to them, leaving far more garbage to collect than usual.

Unless it's already running with a fairly optimal GC for the server specs, and in that case, I cant imagine how much worse it might be.

Bump, our awful host crashed the server again today.
No major damage to the map that I can see, and it's back online now.

[Tylui]

Oh man. Well if I get a chance to do it today, maybe I'll start making the switch... I have a few things I have to wrap up at work, but it shouldn't take me too long, I don't think...

[Jay]

Bumping.  We're going to keep the Nether because it seems to not harm the server's performance too horribly.

Beta 1.3 is out... Server is on a temp map until CraftBukkit updates.

Given that he's  stopped forcing updates, I would have kept it on CB with 1.2, but oh well.
Will update OP.

[Tylui]

I logged into the server to see how many people were on... 3 were on, and all three didn't know about the update. In the same amount of time it took me to figure that out i had 4 people try to connect but get disconnected for "Outdated Server!"...

The launcher isn't very... Common yet.
