User blog comment:LOTRMod/Why hasn't the mod updated to 1.8 yet?/@comment-25612015-20150710174159

As a server operator here's an additional argument against updating to 1.8:


 * most servers out there, run under some version of (K)Cauldron in order to mix mods and Bukkit plugins


 * some of the widely used Bukkit plugins haven't been ported yet to 1.8, and perhaps never will be


 * so a LOTR mod update would lead to throw away features that our servers gameplay rely upon, and our players love

It would be easier for me and surely other operators if you stayed with 1.7.10 for a while!

The only thing that could be useful in the 1.8 series are the security bugfixes which haven't been backported to the 1.7 line...
