To answer many questions at once:
I doubt that we will have any creative world implemented, since this is to remain a Core SMP server-- however, an idea I do have if that were to be brought in here is to have some sort of a small "Sandbox" world for all players to build and host building events/ contests in.
- Having a world for every rank would put a serious strain on the server bandwidth, which constitutes to more lag. Also, it would increase the number of needless questions that can be easily answered just by browsing the forums (a la 'how do I get Trusted?').
- The new world will be the one for new players to join (which will have all the current 1.2 biomes implemented instead of being overshadowed by the 1.1 landmasses)
- Lots of clean-up will be done on the old world during the conversion, so out with the Very old, and in with the new. Not sure how it could be done without using regeneration though...
