    Greetings,

    We'd like to know how the community feels about this. I've been getting a lot of questions regarding map resets, and to be fully honest here, I just don't know. I can't give a final and definitive answer.

    But as you all know, 1.8 is out. And soon enough, 1.8 will be implemented at its fullest. Allowing 1.8 items and mobs on the server. If we reset the maps at the same time as 1.8 is implemented, it would be basically a fresh start. Take in account that we don't know what we're doing regarding to this. But me and Daorack would like to know what you people want.

    You may speak up your mind in the comments, and explain why you agree/disagree with map resets on Creative/Factions/Survival. Like the title of the thread says, this is a community experiment. We want to see what the community wants, how they feel about this.

    There is also a poll in this thread, so you can cast your vote, and we can look at the results with more precision.

    Very good observation =) But yet, some people feel as like, it is getting too old/used, and could use a reset. Not saying I agree with those people, But I'd like to see what people think about it =)

    Creative has many memories to me... I would be sad to see it go. I'm not going to say "people spent time on their stuff" because that's true for all of them, but I don't want creative to go. Some things can't be brought back.

    EDIT: Let me change this: I think that creative1 should not be reset. creative1 has many old things that we love. However, all the creatives have a problem with random useless or empty plots closer to spawn than the plots of people who want to actually have useful plots.
    So, creative2 and creative3 I would be fine with going, but creative1 has many memories to me, and I'm sure many others.

    So, factions and survival both need a fresh start.
    Factions, there are people who have OP stuff that they got before the EULA enforcement and it's almost impossible for new players to come in. Also, almost all of the world resources are gone.
    Survival used to be the center of the server, but now it's empty. I'd hope to see a new survival where we can make cities and clubs and make friends again. I'd like that.

    All 3 of them. I think a brand new start would be better and cool ^-^

    Creative: Many plots are inactive, greifed, offensive, lag machines, empty plots etc. A reset would clear all of those and make a brand new start which could be perfect. It would make it easier for the staffs and players.

    Factions: I would love to see 1.8 features be added. It would disband many inactive factions and clear unused greifed land.

    Survival: Again, I would love to see 1.8 features. The inactive factions and builds, unused claimed land etc would bec lear to a brand new start. It would be very helpful for the community ^-^

    Maybe for creative, for the people who don't want to lose their stuff can have a choice to reset or not.
    Anyways, my vote is:
    All 3 of them.
    A fresh start would be nice c;

    I like how you are asking what we all think of this instead of just doing it.
    Anyways -
    Disagreed. (All 3 of them.)
    I can totally see how some people want it to be reset, but also, if you wander far enough, you can find land without a single base near it. (In Factions.)
    As for Survival, again, I can see why some people are in favor of the reset, but some people have so many valuable things and amazing builds, and they really don't want to loose any of it.
    And for Creative, same thing. Many builds mean things to people. If they went away, then the Owners of the plots may too because they worked so hard.

    We dont need a new faction map. With factions dying, new land is granted to us. Still alot of free land out there. Same with survival.

    I would agree with all 3 of them BUT I've been helping with a rp on creative for over 3 weeks. Lots of people have worked for weeks on amazing creative projects.

    But for factions and survival I 100% agree that those should be reset.

    I agree with factions and survival because I feel we need a fresh start. Maybe we could add a survival2 and factions2 so people can keep what they have or they can go to the new one?

    EDIT: I think all things that have been donated for should also be kept such as mob spawners.
    Maybe you could keep the enderchest so people can keep the 27 items they want the most?

    I am fine with factions but for survival... I have been working on my gigantic base since survival came out. I just don't know if I could lose all of my faction's work.

    As of right now, I think factions should not be reset yet. Yes Survival and Creative may be. Factions, more and more new people have been coming and Maybe in about a month or 2 would be good for factions. But as right now I think Factions should stay as it is considering Survival not as many people go on. More people can start to go on. Also Creative, Plots are claimed by people who do not even come online anymore.

    Maybe with factions and survival, a week before the remap, there is a vault built at spawn?
    Everybody will have their own vault, like an enderchest.
    The new remap will have the same items in the vault.
    Then, a month after the remap when everybody would have had time to take their items out, the chests would disappear.
    This would prevent the people complaining about losing their stuff, etc.

    I think Factions only needs be reset.
    With survival, there is no competition, there is nothing like that, its a build server. Why would you reset peoples builds.
    Creative makes even less sense, even if 1.8 cameout you can just add on to existing builds, you dont have to mine or do anything execpt build.
    Factions I would agree with, Ive became more active there, and im basically miles behind everyone.

    Factions. It would be better to have a fresh start, especially on factions, I just hate it when a lot of people brag about how op they are. There will be a lot of complaining, but eventually it will stop.

    I am going to have to disagree once again, I apologize if this seems selfish to anyone, however, those are not my intentions.

    I will begin with survival and why I disagree with it being reset.

    Firstly, I will begin with the more visible disadvantage of survival being reset.

    Users will lose their work, which some have spent maybe even months on, I believe I am such a user, since I have spent about three months of work building a base. Me and multiple other users have put effort into making detailed and large projects and builds, as well as recently. Now, since this seems quite a clear issue, as it's been stated by other users, I'll move on to other concerns of mine.

    I believe this is not truly a fresh start for survival.

    It is presumed that it will be a fresh start because of the following reasons:

    More unclaimed land and less griefing of land is one of the reasons that users believe it will be a fresh start:

    My argument is that there seems to be nothing preventing the same occurrence and nothing that will make it near impossible to fix such occurrences. The removal of perks that provided in game advantage such as /fly and /enchant are not going to make much of a difference to land-griefers, builders, and claimers. It's still possible and not too hard for users to destroy land, build massive structures, or claim land without these perks.

    Finding and exploring new land, as well as the 1.8 features:

    There is still a decent amount of unclaimed land to explore, there is also a process of factions being disbanded, factions moving to different land etcetera, continue to open up new available land. It truly isn't very hard to find unclaimed land, you could also request help from other users, who know of areas that are unclaimed. I myself may even be able to provide others with unclaimed land I have set home at.

    As for 1.8 features, they can also, be easily raided, griefed, or claimed. In a matter of weeks, water temples will have been griefed or emptied, based on information about them. A better alternative would be to make these blocks available in the shop, and prevent from resetting the world.

    A second, yet believed to be more unreasonable alternative, would be to create another world for 1.8 features, similar Skyblock's multiple world feature. (1, 2, 3)

    It will end most bragging:

    Bragging will most likely be near impossible to end, every time a user makes an achievement, there will be a possibility that they will brag about it. There's no stopping it, unless we were to remove mostly anything achievable.


    Finally, I believe Survival was forced into the reset situation, in the original suggestion.

    Thank you for reading.

    Factions shouldn't be reset. The generation things from that are just water temples (With the sponges) and the three new types of stone. Which could easily just be added to the shop. Another thing you could do is just expand the world border by 5000 or 10,000 more blocks.

    Faction, survival and creative brings a lot of fun memories to me, as will as some other players. I believe it should stay as it is.

    I would not like creative to be reset. There's so many huge things that people have built, and it really isn't a problem. You can add the 1.8 blocks and such to creative like you've done for every other update.

    Factions should be reset. It's getting boring seeing huge factions take over everything, and nobody else can really do anything. These overpowered factions can start from the beginning, as can everyone else.

    Survival should also be reset. People are bored, since they can't do anything. Reset the map, and we can rebuild all of our city things.
