The Server Will Be Down Until 2PM August 31, 2023

 The time has finally come to wipe the server and start over again. This new world is a highly customized 8k map with a specific spawn point. There are several light weight mods installed, and Blood Moons will only come along every 14 days, like the previous server. There are more details to come. Like the title says, we'll be back up and running at 14:00 Eastern Standard Time. I hope to see you then. Here is the previous world in a tidy zip file on the Discord Server here:  https://discord.gg/RwWs8tMWKE Thank you for your patience, I hope to see you in the new world.

The World Ends on August 31, 2023! (For real this time)

On August 31, the world that we're playing now will be wiped out and replaced with a brand new one. The old world will be packed up into an archive and offered here for anyone to download. If you want to continue playing it on your own, or to host a server of your own using it, then feel free. Be warned, however: that one is one patch behind, so compatibility is viable but not perfect with the current version of 7 days to die. I only ask that you don't call your server "14 Days to Die" if you do host it. After a while any game world with a fair number of players accumulates half finished bases, and old claim blocks. Part of 7 Days to Die is restarting, too, and I've reached the top of the game along with a few other players, so it's time to move on. So, don't worry, all won't be lost. You can download your own copy of this world and the new one will be better in many ways. 

The World May Be Ending On August 19, 2023. Only you can stop it!

  One of the stickiest questions that can plague a dedicated server in 7 Days To Die is when it's time to reset the world, forcing everyone to restart. The most obvious time is when a new major patch hits, like the advancement from Alpha 20 to Alpha 21. The map isn't compatible from one to the other, so it's a no-briainer. What about between major patches? After a while the world will accumulate abandoned player camps, new POI's may drop, and some players may start yearning to start over so they can use what they've learned during their last play though. This gives everyone who has met on the server the opportunity to start over at the same time, for the map to change, and for a few new rules to be made that reflect the desires of the community. It has been a pleasure meeting and playing with you on this new version of the server. Alpha 21 brought some new features in that I was eager to try, such as the chunk reloading system. It turns out that the system isn't

 Since people are looking to set up their first main bases on the server, and by request, I thought sharing the biome map may help. Here it is.
