    Hello guys,

    This a pretty simple poll, should we reset the Factions map? The current map is too used, barely no land left, griefing everywhere, and honestly, doesn't look like a fun place to hang around anymore (unfortunately, this happens in Survival too, but that's another issue).

    Yes, factions is a place meant to be ''Hardcore'' but honestly, we want our servers to attract new people, and as you might imagine, if someone joins right now and sees a vastly griefed area with barely no opportunity of succeeding in the map, they won't give it a shot.

    Take in account, factions was under a time of a lot of bugs and glitches, which people abused a lot, like the creeper egg duplication bug. Resetting factions would literally annihilate all the negative impact it had in the server and the players.

    If we did reset the map, we would most likely make upgrades to the server. Taking the opportunity to add new things for better gameplay. Perhaps keeping things like Enderchest content and money balance would be possibilities, so people that worked hard, don't lose everything. Don't forget, revamping a server makes space for improvement :)

    In the presented poll, you may vote on wether we should reset it or not. We want to know where the community stands on this matter.

    Feel free to debate this in the comment section, but try to keep it polite. Don't answer people based on a selfish point of view. Take in account this is a community, this is the product of thousands of people interacting with each other, try to see the perspective of others and what is better in large numbers, not in individual cases.

    Thank you and have a good day.

    If you are considering a Faction reset, should we expect to see a thread like this for Survival as well?

    I was thinking of joining factions for a while now, but once I saw the world with like everything outside of the spawn warzone claimed and/or griefed I immediately went back to my shelter(OITC).

    All for reset

    This is great, I definitely think factions is ready for a reset. People are simply getting too overpowered and new people have struggles. Also, it sometimes gets boring when you have nothing left to do. A reset would be a step towards the right direction.

    At first i was disagreeing with the fact of reseting the server. Although Willy your points are valid and have great benefits for the people that play on the server. Although before I vote can you please confirm if we will be allowed to keep the enderchest/money. Thanks.

    There is a possibility that those things might be kept. Then again, a possibility, not 100% confirmed. I know people don't want to lose their stuff, but factions has been under so may difficulties, wiping out the current map and data would have so many general benefits, and I'm sure people would enjoy it way more.

    We were debating to put Survival on here, however Factions has more changes and more of the land used on a quicker basis, meaning it's basically filled up more often. People being raided, then moving etc. Survival has builds that take time and patience, doesn't really need resetting. Yet.

    I Disagree, that factions should keep Money,And enderchest. Imagine, If people keep their enderchest they might have alot of duped ceggd in there as i said befour.
    Also, about keeping our money. That is a HUGE mistake. Imagin how op people can become again by keeping their money?
    If its going to reset i suggest making a full reset.
    Thats my thaughts please me know what you think Willy.

    One more quick question. I'm all for the faction reset but, I'm concerned about the land around what would be the new warzone. Some player might just claim all of the land around warzone then, that would create a new set of problems for others. I'm not bashing the idea of a reset it's just a question. I'm hoping we can get a reset though.

    thats a general game problem, u cant rly do anything bout that

    yes i understand the, but i believe that we should be able to keep the enderchests, therefore it balances out the situation and not only benefiting one side. Its your call though, but just please post a final post including the details and date(s) for the reset.

    Thank you so much for making a thread like this Willy. Well, my opinion is to reset factions. It's been long enough and I think we should have a fresh start. It would give newer players a chance to catch up to all the OP players, which would be good for the server. And yes, the duplicated creeper eggs are an issue, which would be fixed with a reset. 10 months is enough time.

    I'm all for the reset. :D

    I'm completely for the reset, not the money and enderchest idea though, because it wouldn't really be a fresh start.
    You know what would be really fun? letting us fly around the map (all protected of course) and just look at everything.
    And maybe even putting the map up for download ;)

    Yes. There's nothing left anymore, and drama everywhere. This will be a great way to start fresh.

    Just a question: Will we be extending the world borders too?

    Agreed

    Many of our friends have been leaving and many inactive factions claimed and never unclaimed for a long time. This would make other people who play factions catch up with the over-powered players on factions.

    One question, what about the things we bought on Factions? Will that be resetting as well along with our kits that came with the rank or it isn't going to be over-powered as much?
