You will not have to make a new one =)

That's some good news out there, thanks a lot. Another question: is the guy above, Cap'n Bells right? Should i leave some unexplored areas for the Mistlands content to appear when it's released or i can explore my map all the way down?
I've already found some places on the map that were marked as Mistlands, but they were empty and really small. Is it the place where the true ML will be?
P.s. sry for being so annoying lol

Don't worry, though I will try to explain what they meant.

Usually when an update such as H&H or the future Mistlands happens, what they do to the existing worlds is that the updates happens to them, but only to the areas that you have yet to find or explore that is, they are still completely covered by fog on the map with no features known.
Basically, if you have explored it, then it'll stay as it were with no changes made by the update. However, if after update installation you find a completely new area, then this new area will have all the benefits of the update, such as resources, mobs, and so on.

So, should you choose to explore the entire map before the update arrives, then you'll just have to either restart the map seed on a new world or start an entirely new one. So it's up to you and your preferences on that one, really.

I hope that this has helped you out some.
