From my understanding, when in the overworld nothing in the neither works. None of any type of chunk loading works. This is just the way Minecraft works.

I found this a few pages in looking for other things: http://forums.technicpack.net/index.php/topic,5824.0.html My option is: EE is a supplement to the normal digging out the entire underground and leaving giant holes everywhere. If making other mods obsolete is a problem or if EE makes things "too easy" just turn it off or some parts of it. Personally, I have had my very first experiences with EE on my current server and I use it as a means to skip the mining and smelting process as to speed up crafting other things. It can very easily lead to calls of OP, if you have a munchkin player and a newbie playing together. If everyone is on equal footing, as far as knowing how to use the things in EE, it is all fair. I would say it really is a play style thing far more than an OP or newbie tool.

I am new here and I was just wondering what the delay between the current server and 3.0 was going to be. The reason I ask this is because I am starting a new world with some friends. I wanted to know, should we wait for 3.0 or we can play on it for some time before the update comes? Are we talking tomorrow, next week, next month, next year?
