"I wonder how much difference will that have on bandwidth requirements and will it be optional?" Could be worse :P
I don't think I used the slider, just scrolled my wheel instead so that doesn't bother me. I'm just happy the speed has increased, I was finding it very slow when zooming right in and scrollling when zoomed in.
The part which involved knowing you were responding to the last line. Meh.
I've discussed it someone in this thread before (though I can't be arsed tracking it down). At default zoom, the square to the right of the galleon, south of Ken's viewing platform place.
Zooming in doesn't seem to load any new images, so it stays black.
Zooming out seemed to load it, but it went so far out I couldn't be bothered going in one at a time to see at which point it stopped working (it may well only be at the default/128 level).
If I were to start building my own little place on the server, where would be best? Not to clever with the old minecarts/redstone etc. so would like it to be near someone elses for ease of access.
looking at the map, there seems to be a nice, unused space slightly to the east. It's near enough to everyone else for transport but not so close you can't expand - map attached
(if you don't like it, it's not a problem, build anywhere)
No, no - build north. There's loads of space between me and the rest of the big builds, and I can connect my skyway to wherever you start building, easily enough.
