Will there be TWO servers running (1.7 & 1.8), or just one server, and when we log on we log into 1.7 until we /transfer, and then we are logged into 1.8?

I think it's one server running, with the original map and the new map. They are both 1.8. I might be wrong though

Both maps are running on the same server, when you log in you will be on the old map, take your stuff then type /transfer and it takes you to the new map

Poor Tan has to walk thousands of blocks to get to his valuables before he can transfer. /sethome fail.

Thanks for clearing that up. And; poor Tan. Ha!
