And apparently the guide died again and his replacement came to live with Lans and I. His name is Wyatt.
New HBGames Terraria Server: HYPERBOLE

A few guidelines to keep designated areas safe:
1.) If you're being chased by corruptors (the big guys that spit at you), do not try to escape to spawn. That spit, if it comes into contact with a corruptible surface, will corrupt it, and that little patch will spread like wildfire. Ideally, kill any of those dudes chasing you before heading back. If you're not able to do that, either head underground, die, or teleport home.
1a.) If you opt for the final option listed, be sure to maintain a good distance -- at least 800 meters -- before 'porting. The despawn distance on Corruptors is pretty annoyingly large, and I think we all know how far the baddies of the corruption are willing to chase you down.
2.) Be a cool person and use either purification powder or vile powder on corrupted and hallowed areas, respectively. We want to keep our home grounds neutral, and that's a pretty freakin' huge task. We all need to pitch in. At some point, we'll put a stash of both kinds somewhere so we don't have to buy or make the stuff.
3.) For the safety of you and any NPCs that might happen to live with you, please avoid building with corruptible materials, especially near either of the spreading biomes. The list is actually pretty small and it's fairly unlikely you will want to build anything out of this stuff, but the list is as follows:
4.) We ought to construct an outer wall at some point; something that goes some 100 blocks underground. Keeping the underground corruption from spreading is a large and futile task, but if we take the right steps, the surface world is nothing if not manageable.

- Mud

and obviously don't use
- Pearlstone/Sand (Bricks are fine)
- Ebonstone/Sand (Same deal; iridescent bricks are fine, too)

Someone plonked down a bit of hallow at spawn, and it's been spreading for a fair bit. Not sure who did it, or why.
We should vile powder that shit ASAP -- it's better than the corruption but believe me pixies will fuck up your shit really fast.Wow I looked at a map of the world just now and the corruption and hallow are spreading like crazy ...
I've been saving a map of the world everyday to show the progression. I believe we've really "conquered" the world now (there aren't any mysteries left really, exploration-wise, is what I mean), so would you like to see the map compilation?
(Nothing is marked; colored pixels represent blocks but there are no descriptions of what things are -- you have to extrapolate it ... I should also mention, the maps I'd giver you now are going to be zoomed out to the point you can't see where deposits are)
(If not, I can save it until we're bored of the server or something)

We've got some updates inbound, peeps. Red popped into the official Terraria IRC the other day and talked vaguely about upcoming updates, likely to release around the end of May. Most notably, we're looking at revamped character creation, big changes to hardmode, and over 250 new items -- this thing is going to be bigger than the 1.1 update, which was pretty flippin' huge, if you don't remember.
Here's the link.
The late release date is thanks to the console version -- Red is wanting to keep that in the limelight for a while before dropping anything big PC side. I do worry how that will interfere with Starbound, though.

Well, apparently the wiki was wrong, because a wyvern attacked me while I was using the skyway.
