Fresh new world to start, Nothing will be transferred on the initial opening, It will be like a brand new server, we are waiting for the move then I can get to work on that list, Im sure there’s things ive missed, but that’s kind of the order things will go in, There will not be a way to go to the old world yet, although I will upload it, I can easily stop the server, change the world in the config and reboot to load it, I want to test this to see if it was the world causing lagg, It’s not high on my priority list just yet, But I want to test it out as an option as we have what 8 months worth of work on it? Don’t worry I have backups!

Well were going to need a small spawn off the bat, What did we discuss in other threads a shipwreck to get us going? I could paste in a boat from our current spawn, smash it up a bit and voila! Who would want to make a small first spawn to get us going?

Sounds like a good idea Jon, Which ship are you talking about? The one thats just shot of spawn or one of the two thats in it? There are a few ways to transfer items, I could install a backpack plugin, Like this http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/realistic-backpacks/ As its already working with 1.7.4 and data is saved to mysql so its all saved in a table which I can transfer over to a new host, Or Just an inventory mysql save, http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/inventorysql/, Or do I create an area for users to lock up a double chest each to take with and I can just worldedit it in?
I would prefer everybody to all come in fresh or all have just inventory or the same storage options, at present im levering to all fresh as its less hasle and a fresh start is a fresh start, second just saving inventory’s, then the backpack (as opposed to moving a chest over, since they wont be protected)

Im waiting (You would never believe it) on a response form my host, I literally said. “Move me to an EU server”.
Then we can get going!

Update: So the host tech guy thought he had done the transfer, but transferred us to the same node during that brief downtime.
So we finally managed to get changed to the EU host, well not really a transfer, the guy deleted our server then created us a new account on the Amsterdam server, Which is a pain in the ass, since I cannot just hand out the new IP and let you guys carry on playing until i get the time to build the new server.
Thats right, he straight up just deleted the previous plugins and world even after I asked for him to move the world over for me… Good thing I backed up everything yesterday.
Now I cannot setup the server tonight, So im going to have to try and do this tomorrow, anybody around tomorrow to help when I need it?

Being a fresh squeaky clean bukkit, I got to see the stats with no plugins, no users, no big world, no nothing.. And the server idles at 77% Ram usage and 10% CPU, Which Jumps with me on, This is what I’ve been fighting for over the past hour with a poor live chat person, Also I worked out we get less MB ram at each plan upgrade, so you get less the more you spend.
Im not sure if this is common or if we just got a good deal last server host, but It dousnt look good in the resource department. I will build the server, maybe the web app resource monitor is complete shit and everything will run fine, but im emailing the “manager” to see if I can elevate the case.
So, We proceed, hopefully with a fresh world as of tomorrow, nothing will get transferred until I am happy, So don’t ask, I cant anyway, since the asshat didn’t move the world, re-upload.. which brings me back to the to-do at the top.

Yep, Sorry its that tech’s fault, that I’ve forgotten the name of already.
He just wiped and created a new account.
I have just emailed another hosting company with a similar plan at the same price for a free testing server while were in this limbo, it would be superb to test two servers and see their performance.
