The world is not being deleted - I don't delete old worlds. You can still get a world download through git, and the map will work perfectly with the latest version of BTW as we didn't add any blocks or items. The 3D builds (such as the clay farm and any unlit cash portals, and plant xb setups) will not produce anything, but they won't hurt anything by being there. (This *was* one of the goals of BWR. It succeeds admirably.)

Oh hell no. This is not what you expected. When you get your hands on your travel agent, you're going to strangle them, then feed the pieces into a millstone. Twice.
Instead of the lush forests, tropical beaches, deep oceans, and tall mountains you were promised...what lies before you is an inhospitable wasteland.
Running BTW 4.56 and BWR 0.26.0456 pre-release
Ignore the pre-release stuff.
Server address: broam.dyndns.biz:25568
Difficulty: Normal (may shift it to Hard if everyone asks nicely; see poll).
Land composition: 1x bedrock, 2x sandstone, 1x sand.
Additional stuff: Villages, Strongholds (3x), desert temples, desert wells, decorations.
Biome: Desert biome. That's the second bone you got thrown (no rain/snow).
Lava lakes are on too, but those apparently do not occur in deserts, so it's a sort of useless option, here because I like verbosity.
Hardcore options: all except player names, and spawn. Water is scarce - did you think I was going to let you move it? Spawn was disabled because it makes the game unfairly penalize player death (no redstone means no compass.)
Admins: Warr1024, Benanov, DaveYanakov
Decorations are the third bone I've thrown you here - there's plenty of cactus to make a wall, and you'll want additional plant diversity for plant cross-breeding. Strategy will come in the follow-up post.
White-list is on, and you may join us in IRC - #bwr on espernet. nuWastey will funnel your chats on the server into the channel, and vice versa. Feel free to visit!
Please note: this is on my home internet connection. The server will withstand a decent level interest, about 10 players at a time. It's fairly beefy as far as servers go (AMD triple-core running a really minimal Debian install) but it will fall over if you hammer it. Try not to, it would make me sad.
This is not an anarchy server. You don't have to share (we do, just ask), just don't wreck others' builds, nor steal other people's work, or loot their bases. This server is meant to be an extraordinarily challenging experience...and not from fellow players. I don't like herding cats; don't make me.
Update 2: I will not respond with posts if you are whitelisted, unless you ask a question that I think needs to be responded to publicly. Check your PM's.
Update 3: new players, upon request, get a one-time "bus ticket" to Benanov's Oasis village. You die, you're on your own. Try not to use the bus ticket right away.
Update 8: Bumped to 4.41. If you are using Uristqwerty's CraftGuide mod, you should get BWR recipes in your list. Snazzy.
Update A: 0.25 Release. You can drug wolves, construct blazes, and renew diamonds.
Update E: We can tell if you're trying to log in without being on the white-list. I will start adding names of people who've tried. :)
Update F: The server wrapper we use ("nucraftd") now broadcasts death messages into the IRC channel, so people who are spectating, or who are playing on the federated servers can see how you took your dirt nap.
Update 10: I removed useless updates, so there will be some holes.
Update 12: Bump to 4.54; disabled HC spawn due to player request & executive fiat.
Update 13: Updated to 4.56. You are so screwed. Bring plenty of food if you are going to cross the wastes; otherwise you will starve. We will be building roads, expanding tunnels, et cetera.
