Running in plain vanilla mode for now – don’t ask for creative mode or anything like that. As soon as bukkit is up and our primary plugins for protection and what not are in, we will put the live maps back up.
There have been many significant changes in 1.8, so expect it to be a bit longer than normal – anywhere from several hours to a few days. Until then, have fun, don’t be a douche bag, and build some neat stuff!
