Two days ago, myself and Butler were made aware of a region of the Overworld on the creative server that appeared to be corrupted and resulted in nasty server crashes when loaded.  We spent the past few days, along with the help of fellow member Krawkyz investigating the area and attempted to assess the exact location of the problem area and viability of repairing the damage without significant loss of map data.  We used highly sophisticated methods, depicted below, to locate the corrupted area:

We did find the problem area and were forced to delete the corrupted region file.  We were, however, able to replace it with an older version of the region file.  Long and the short of it:

-The map between (-1536 X,1536 Z) and (-1025 X,2047 Z) overworld are rolled back to MC 1.8
-Kenyor, Krawkyz, and myself have all had our player data wiped. This includes inventories and enderchests.
-We're pretty sure we got all of the corrupted areas, but let us know if you stumble on something funky.


That is all.
