A poll has recently been started on the survival server about whether or not there should be a new map for the 1.8 Minecraft release. Here is a post outlining important information and how to vote on this poll.

How to vote

• Run the command: /Poll Vote newmap
  This will display a list of options which you can vote for.
• Run the command: /Poll Vote newmap [Number]
  Please ensure [Number] is the number next to the item in the list you saw using the first command.

Points to remember

• There is currently no release date for 1.8
  As per usual.
  
• The current map has been up since the start of December 2013
  Wow, 8 months!
• There may be a possibility for builds to be copied across to a new map
  This will only occur if the build is of a very high quality (Slightly higher than D+) and you fill out this form correctly.
• Old maps are still visible from within the server.
  They are however in read-only mode.
