Hey guys, had an interesting question and wanted to ask it of the others here. Seems like the forums have a good Minecraft contingent here, so...
In Single Player Survival, how long have you stuck with a single world?
Couple reasons that I'm curious about this: First, I lurk around the Minecraft official forums often enough and found it a little fascinating when, during a thread with a similar question, there were very few who had stayed with one world for more than a month or two. Second, I use a mod called JourneyMap because I have a terrible sense of direction. Said map mod allows you to map on the fly and creates a world map for you...but my world ended up so large that it stopped being able to show the map for me. I, in a sense, ended up overloading the map buffer. I went to the creator and he'd said that he'd never actually seen anyone with a map of similar size to my own. And, thus, these two things made me curious if most others just play a map for a bit and then change up or if there are any other long term map types like myself.
Personally, I've had the same world since the release of the 1.8 Beta, the one that added Strongholds and the like. The world file is currently 1.31 gb, even after deleting the old files for maps created before the Anvil system went into place. I'd offer to post you guys a map of my current world, but I actually can't find any hosting places that allow images that file size, but I'm still looking.
So what's your style? Play for a few months and try something new or have you stuck with a single world for some time?
