How would you feel if the original set of planets came back?

What will happen to my builds when the new universe begins?

We won’t be deleting your builds, we’re simply taking them offline. All existing worlds will be archived, but not accessible. Don’t let your builds and settlements be lost to time folks, take your screenshots or videos and make sure to share them with us, either here or on our social channels!

Not to mention there were worlds before what we generally refer to as the EA worlds… back when the game was in Java and playable in a web browser O.o

In response to @Jenndragonfly - we will not delete any worlds but simply take them offline. Hopefully in the future and if there is demand we will allow the worlds to be downloaded.

i remember reading somewhere that there would be a fair bit of updating required to make the old worlds work on the current version of Boundless but i can’t seem to find it the quote =( …

Anyway, would be a fairly broken experience… anyone remember trying to find fibrous leaves in EA? Mine any gem other than ruby/diamond? Oh yeah! And you can’t forget about shadow orbs! only spawn-able on 2 worlds… with maybe 2 per world if you’re lucky… assuming their regeneration hasn’t been perpetually interrupted by players looking for them ><

all that said, i would still love to see them again… that nostalgia alone would be worth it… just the amount of work required to make them viable play areas seems impractical =(
