Ignoring the previous topic, here are a few random observations about the server on 1.0:
1) Okay...whatever the reason before, mobs are back. Like, back. It's a nightmare trying to run outside at night, which is probably how it should be. Yeesh.
2) However 1.0 handles biomes now, it's really mucked up some parts of the server. Grimper's area looks pretty bad now; the trees, grass, and water all change colors about every 20 blocks. Oh, and apparently half of the Fenris arboretum is now in a swamp biome, since that looks bad too. I can't begin to describe how asinine the concept of an update affecting existing biomes is.
3) Something's up with the rail system, or more specifically booster rails. They barely give any boost at the moment, so the rail network is essentially useless right now.
4) Changing the sunrise/sunset direction seems like it was a rather stupid idea, though it does give me a cool sunrise view through a glass wall I just built.
More stuff as we find it.
