Survival Reset Suggestion (Please Read staff)

Recently we have been notified that the Survival server will be reset from a moderator. When I asked for certain details he didn't really know so I would like to ask anyone who does know. Here are the list of questions and suggestions to those questions:

1) Upon reset of the server, will players keep their money currently in-game. I know many of the players on the server have played a long time and saved up lots of money who don't really want to lose everything that they earned over the years.

2) Will players keep their total claim blocks? This also runs similarly to question one because there are players who put many hours into the server to obtain claim blocks for their bases.

3) Will players be able to place certain things into their Ender Chest to carry over valuable things that they want to keep that they earned or spent a lot of money for? Back when I ran and owned a very popular survival server and hub, we had to reset the Survival server world because it became a struggle to find unclaimed areas and had to update it to the new version with different blocks etc. Before we had the reset, we gave the players the ability to store in their few valuable things into the Ender Chest to allow them to bring them over to the new generated world. This allowed them the chance to have 27 slots where they can keep those items, let the players keep their current money amount, and let them keep the amount of claim blocks they earned.

These are the three questions and suggestions to them that I had for the up in coming reset of the Survival Server. I know it requires more work on the admins/owners hands but it is really worth it in keeping a lot of the current players who actively play coming back. Thank you for the time in reading this post and hope for the best.

 

For an idea on how this can be done:
~Clear warps list in the database.
~Clear all claims in the database.
~Create a new world set new world boarders.
~Move spawn to the new generated world.
~Protect spawn and land around the spawn etc.
~Delete old world.
~Set world boarders.
Good to go.

 

The concept of a reset is to start back to 0. If we add what you want, it won't become a reset. Here is the cons of the addition of your idea.

• Money will still become corrupted as people will be able to afford whatever and whenever.
• Oversized claims will be created around spawn, which could corrupt the landscape.
• Like the money, you could keep the most valuable items in the game, such as enchanted golden apples, to carry in the reset and become 'invincible'.

Like I indicated before, if this is added, it will not become a reset. Any other gamemodes that have gotten a reset, they have never kept anything in the previous reset. I would highly doubt it happening for Survival.

That being said, I will not support this suggestion.

 

Good counterpoints on the idea of keeping things on the reset. Here are my counter arguments to those:
1)I don't think people would have an oversized claim around the spawn IMO but you can think of it that way.
2)As for golden apples, most people don't PvP on the server and can be purchased at the shop for $600.
3)Money can be used to buy things from the shop I dont see how having a lot of money would corrupt the server.

When I did this for my server, the players enjoyed it so that they wouldnt be completely wiped out of hours, days, even years of work.

 

No, this would not be a good idea. They should just reset the server itself but they shouldn't keep there stuff. I support the reset but not this.

 

Agreed, and therefor no support.

 

No Support.
I think Survival needs to start fresh.

 

No Support, Survival needs a full reset.

 

No support. In my thread under New Gamemode Ideas, I believe that it needs a complete fresh reset.

By the way, who told you that Survival was going to get reset?

 

It's not being reset?

 

See more staff posting here then actually on the survival serverO_o Breeding is disabled or not functioning on survival at this point. Owner can do what they want but as a new player if survival has a total reset and things stay the way they are currently it's not gonna fix a thing.

Only reason I'm staying is because exploring is like Christmas every time

Now that it's being talked about on the server maybe someone with some current info posting on forums and or visiting often would help the few loyal that are there now and listen to them versus those that don't currently play. New players would see staff and help keep them.

Would buy a rank but not even a consideration now. Guess just wait and see or maybe just start looking for a new server since gonna have to start over anyways :eh

 

No support, sorry
Reasons are stated

 

With all these people who aren't supporting, do you all actually play on the survival server? Because it doesn't seem like any of you do or you would know what the survival player base would want.

But hey, if that's what everyone wants from other servers that's fine. It is your opinion. If the server was reset in 2015 then why does it need another reset? There must be certain issues that aren't being resolved if reset is occurring often. And there are plenty of unclaimed area in the world.

I don't see why the player base needs to be punished with a reset if they earned all the things that they got playing in the server. I recently started on the server so it wouldn't matter as much to me as it would to others who have been playing on the server longer than I. The currency on this server is not an issue, the claim blocks are not an issue on this server, and the things that players obtained that are precious to them are not an issue.

Breeding on the server is an issue, lottery not working with the in-game currency is an issue. Seeing only one mod for 10 minutes in the server for a day is an issue.
