As most of you know, when the server is upgraded to Minecraft v1.1, I will also be adding a new MultiWorld feature in order add additional worlds like a new vanilla survival world. However, in order to ensure the integrity of the vanilla survival environment, I must also implement a plugin to allow separate inventories per world.
I've chosen the plugin WorldInventories because of its simplicity and history of reliability. However, the installation process of this plugin calls for an inventory wipe so that it may create its own inventory structure across the multiple worlds. This wipe will only occur once and it only effects the player inventory and not chests.
Since I don't know when Bukkit will release its next recommended build, I literally have no idea when I will be updating the server. They are working on getting their build stable, but asking "When will it be released?" is the same as asking someone who's lost their car keys "When will you find them?" No one knows. It might be next week or two weeks from now or tomorrow. However, we still must prepare all the same, because as soon as they green-light their build, I'm going to update as quickly as I can.
That being said, you all must be ready for an inventory wipe in order to smooth the transition process. Since chests will not be wiped, try to store items you don't want to lose in your chests when you log out of the server. Dispenser signs will still exist in this world, so building materials are unimportant and easily replaced. If you have valuable crafting loot that you cannot get from dispensers, then those are things you want to make sure are stored.
Admins can replace anything that gets lost by accident, but it would be better if everyone would be responsible for their own belongings.
