Right now our community is only partially on the server I playing and we're living at about six to seven thousand blocks away from spawn. And almost all of this - is freaking huge ocean with occasional island with nothing or a single tree. Now imagine some of my friend also starts to play on this server. How exactly do I tell him where to go without coordinates? Landmarks? No way I'm letting any other guys to have even a glimpse of knowlegde where I am - they're wiped entire area around spawn from animals, ate the meat and now whining they can't find any food while continiously dying of hunger and fall damage. And they won't hesitate to wipe our farms as well. And there's ocean. Towers of cobble from bottom anyone? "Go south untill fourth deep pit, turn west, go till sixth, then again turn south and..." Not to mention that you have to place landmarks while going TO the place for the first time, which for our case - while you're freshly spawned fleeing from ravaging hungry horde. Because when you will try to go back, you won't have any idea where the spawn is. At least IRL you can navigate by star location. And no, we can't change server right now, we don't have sufficient host.

I remember back in beta1 there was some kind of sightseeing version of TFC, but I don't remember what exactly that was, i.e. just blocks or just some of the mechanics.

This basically means that you bound to roam around the map in search for poor little creepers untill your supplies of ointment grow back on the field, since there's hostile spawn protection mechanic and those supplies are bloody long to grow back. You people seem to enjoy to slap others for their mistakes very much.

I haven't seen water draining from these holes at all. But as far as I can tell, soil need time to restore after crops being gathered. I was fiddling with it the other day and found out that if you harvested something and then trying to plant crops in the same block of soil, crop will almost immediately disappear. As for why it is like that I have no idea. Maybe it's something about nutrients or irrigation.

What also would be nice is tweaked cow size to make them bigger. Now every single cow you can find is the size of a culf, which doesn't seems right to me.
