Avalon (Also known as the 1.8 Test World), but now usually referred to as Old Avalon is a sub-world set up after the server updated to Bukkit 1.8 RB. It can be reached via brick portal in Pixellia north of spawn, facing the chest recovery station, or in the Hall of Portals, located in New Avalon.
Description
This world was set up to allow players who hadn't updated to 1.8 before this time to experience the new features of 1.8 on the server. It is a fresh map that contains all the goodies that came with the 1.8 update, including Strongholds, NPC Villages, Mine-shafts, and ravines.
The first build was a small public shelter set up by Tomousee with help from Flappyflap. Although nothing special it did provide shelter for people entering the new world for the first time.
Since then the building on Avalon has quite literally mushroomed into whole villages and towns solely consisting of mushroom houses. These houses being relatively easy and cheap to make are quite different to many other builds throughout the whole of cubic worlds.
In more recent days (December 2011) Avalon seems to have succumbed to a massive biome corruption, turning it into a never-ending tundra. The world has, both literally and figuratively, reached the winter of its life.
Fate
This world is going to be deleted on the 4th of February. Users who want to move their builds are expected to do so soon.
