Yeah if there's a lot of configuration changes and a lot of mods in/out current beta worlds aren't going to be easy to keep without crashing every now and again. Depends if the FTB mod pack developers take keeping existing worlds into consideration when making the new packs.
You know, perhaps the developers of the mod pack should try to develop a "world converter" - take a world save that was generated using the configurations of FTBBeta, and convert them to the ones that will use the new pack. There is already a program called mIDas that does it one at a time, so I don't see what would be wrong if the developers ask if it would be alright to create a FTB only version of the program.
Or, better yet, someone could just post the IDs that would need to be changed, and in what order, for safe conversion from one pack to another. Either way!

Also, RP's volcano code has always been a little weird, using some kind of post-chunk update with a separate random seed to make the volcanoes. No one knows if this has been changed in the latest version. So there's a chance for weird volcano issues if you add it to an existing world.
My understanding was that any FTB pack is going to standardize on ID's/Configs, so packs can better inter-change or they can make a pack on the fly.
However, an older world not created with FTB and being made could cause problems, if not do a full chunk reset on most your stuff. Sometimes, starting from scratch is the best answer.

Hmm I see. Well it's not a world I converted to FTB, its one we started when the mod pack came out. Hopefully they are going to standardize the block ID's as this seems like a no brainer in making mods easy to use add / remove. I guess we'll just have to see.
Either that or a world converter tool would be cool!
We would start again, it's just we've started about 7x this year with new mc updates, moved to tekkit, then FTB and we all really like FTB its just such a faff having to start over.. again!
Thanks for your replies!

Unfortunately they did not start standardizing the block ids until the magic pack came out. So any world created with the beta pack would not be compatible with the other packs unless they provide a converter. This is a very common issues with any and all mod packs especially when ever a mod is added or removed.
That won't protect you from the block ID changes that will cause the game to crash especially if they have tile entities tied to them. All that will do is add extra mod content to a already existing world that did not already have said mods content.
Shouldn't cause it to crash, just mod items and blocks will disappear like when Technic 7 came out.
