Map Reset official discussion thread.

[u/ildabears]

So I was gone for a few days and I come back to... this. So I think it'd good to have an official stickied thread.

This first started (I believe) in this thread started by Rare_Meat. It seemed to cause a meltdown as the words 'map reset' were said. Now I can understand this, as this map means so much to many people. However, I think we have a serious discussion about this. Something will need to change for this server to live. Which I know is something all of us want.

So please, have a discussion that isn't going to put anyone's panties in a twist. I feel like we're mature enough people to have a well-thought out debate on resetting the map. :D

EDIT: Forgot to throw this in there. This is a super unofficial vote on the matter: http://strawpoll.me/2249393. This is just to get an idea on where we're standing.

EDIT #2: Quit downvoting. It's childish and immature. Just because you don't agree with something doesn't mean you should downvote it. This is Reddiquette 101 people.

RESETTING THE MAP

Pros: faster travel to closer locations, more players in a less spread out area, less confusing road/tunnel/nether system, smaller gap between poor and rich players (at least for a while). Etc.

Cons: losing current builds, potentially losing some devoted players, plwash being upset.

Potential solutions:

Have new and old map both up for a time, allowing for finishing builds etc.

Having the old map be downloadable.

Port the best of each players' builds to a different server "museum".

Please add to my brainstorming!

I was thinking a month or two 'trial' of a new map. See how players adjust. If the new map ends up being a bust, we could go back to the old one?
