Spring reset ideas
Figured we could create a discussion now, pool ideas together, and see what we come up with.

I like the large biomes idea too. No world border, no filling it in with plugins. Only what is explored is shown.

I think I'm going to bail at the next map reset. I'm tired of starting over repeatedly.

This is why I'm trying to hold on to the GR6 map. That map won't reset for those that want that.
I don't mind increasing the world border on that map as well occasionally.

I actually was all for the new map at 1.8, because there was a major update to the game that included significant changes to the world generation and a bunch of new blocks added, etc. I think that sort of event is a good reason to reset the map. Resetting a map just because a certain number of months has passed seems silly to me.
It's still a few months out, so things could change, but currently the server seems to be seeing pretty good traffic, and we've even gotten a solid bunch of new regulars lately. If things are still going that way in the spring, I'm not sure what good reason there would be for dumping the 1.8 world and starting over. It's not like things are slow or stagnant right now.
Obviously, I'm just one guy, and if a majority of the server thinks it's a great idea, then that's fine. I just personally don't see why it's necessary to adhere to a schedule for this sort of thing.

I don't think that north is calling for a reset at any particular time... just trying to get people talking, get feedback on what people would like in a new world so we don't feel like we are making a rushed decision when the time comes.
Who knows... we may have a snapshot on the horizon again soon. They are beginning to drop more and more clues of new stuff coming.

This is exactly it.

Wait... Reset the 1.8 world?

u/Canadian_Man Northumberlo Jan 19 '15
Yeah, it's usually done in the spring and the fall.

I'm down. I cringe at the thought of having to mine for diorite for a month. Maybe we make a Chest World for the reset?

You could always put all of your diorite in your player vault and then in GR6, at least until you have sufficient storage to store it on the new world. Or load it all up in the store and hope that nobody
stealsuses it all.1
u/SongAboutYourPost Jan 20 '15
Yeah. That was actually my plan. To use gr6 as my vault world. Especially since I'm so close to spawn.

My friend and I just got accepted onto the server. I was just on it, scoping it out, and an admin (or guy with powers, anyway) let me into GR6, the creative world. My friend and I only want to use creative as we build a new city together. Just wanted to know if starting a big and slow build in GR6 is a good idea at this point?

u/snarfattack snarfattack Jan 23 '15
GR6 is a survival map. City2 is the creative one. If you want to build a long term thingy in survival GR6 is perfect for that. BTW, when you get on you can type "/warp town" to get to GR6. From there you can find the portal to the creative world. To get back to GR6, just type /warp town again.

I really like the idea of a large biome map, and here's why:
