I don't know if play a lot on the new server, so this is a third party opinion: I think the fairest way is actually to use the hotbar to carry things over. Yes, of course there are variances in wealth. But a) refer to the arguments during the regen debate; you get what you give, there are of course going to be differences in equality and b) the "starter kit" idea just doesn't seem right. The starter kit doesn't really reflect anyone's true wishes. And if I were to play on the new server, I wouldn't want a "starter kit" of items which were far beyond the technology I ever amassed on the first server. I mean I have no clue where everyone stands but I doubt everyone has a SolarHelmOfLevelSeventyDeath or whatsoever.

Problem is those are meant to be endgame-level stuff. Having them at the start makes no sense.
I've just sent M and Maru and suggestion for a starter kit, the idea being that it gives a small leg-up on most of the individual mods and the modpack as a whole and encourages exploring the various different mods, without being overpowered in any one area.

The FTB server. We're switching to a new modpack. Though I still think a new world for the vanilla one will become necessary t the next major worldgen update (probably 1.7).

The seed will most likely be (pseudo-)random. I think it uses the system unix time.
same seed, different mods = different overall world
Not necessarily. IIRC the only mod that effects terrain generation (i.e. not just ores/oil/whatever) is EBXL, and that's in Direwolf. So it would be pretty much the same world, just with a few small differences.

Yes, but the point is we're starting a new world. I certainly don't want a world where some/most of us already know where a bunch of important stuff is.

Well I'm looking into seeds and the best I've currently found is one that spawns us in a plains biome with a silverwood tree and a village and a biome with giant fir trees nearby. Doesn't sound like much, but plains biomes are crazy-rare with EBXL. I'll keep looking though.

Also I'm working on a fancy command block system for automating some starter kits. Which means you won't have to either wait around for an op to get you one (if we give them on request), or risk someone stealing them (if we leave them in chests).

Right, but the idea would (hopefully) be that the kit we have in mind would replace any random OMGSUPERPOWER items people would want to bring over otherwise. Do you just want to post what we have so far, WRT kit items and let them decide? It was my understanding it still was an issue: kit or hotbar.
