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.
Over the years? I'm pretty sure the current survival has been out since 2015? When a server resets it starts over. No one wants to lose money, but you have to because it's a new chance for everyone. Claim blocks are very easy to obtain. Keeping the ender chest ruins the point of resetting Survival. It's a chance for people to start over, especially for people who just joined the server. This is a horrible idea. One of the many reasons why Survival could get reset is because there are so many players that cheated to get money. Not grinding all day like people such as @StrKillr. Grinding isn't cheating. However some players dupe, and hack in certain items that they sell for millions, and some players are very rich, because they cheated. It's cheaters who ruin it for everyone else. I know tons of people who make millions by farming and grinding and raiding, however some people cheat. It corrupts it. Having an unfair amount of money, and trust me, it's obvious when a new player who's only been playing for a week bids 2 million dollars on a steak, well they obviously did something. The whole point of Survival IMO is that you survive. If you reset the server and everyone keeps their money, then everyone is OP, people find more glitches, and then everything repeats. No support.
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?
Someone's been spreading rumors that it is. I think @StrKillr 's thread confused people bc lots of players think it's getting 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
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.
I do not support your suggestion, yet i've been an active Survival player since October 2013. I know about 17 players who want everything to be erased. I also know close to 30 players who recently quit in the past 4 months after Survival had a major downfall. I agree that there is a handful of players who want to keep their stuff, but people who have been apart of the survival community for almost 4 years, have different opinions. TBH, I do not even recognize your name lol. Never seen or heard of you till this thread was posted. - There are different types of players on Survival. You have people who've played the server for 4 or less years, and then there's new players, who've only been playing for a year or less. Those are the main groups of people who want the money and claim block to be kept. People who have not been playing for a long time are very butthurt about losing stuff. I can assure you that if you ask people who have been on survival since 2013, 2014, 2015, 0r even 2016.. Most of them will say that they want a fresh start. Major glitch issues have lead up to it needing a reset :P. Especially glitching heads and barriers through /friend. That's true. However it's hard for someone who just joined to travel that far out. There's lots of griefed land surrounded by lava spreading for thousands of blocks. Without someone who's trustable enough to teleport you outside, then there is no point of even trying. It's not a punishment for some people. Some of us want to start over. Also there's usually a second server with the old survival for at least 4 months after the reset. It's an issue. There are some players who have unfairly gained their money. It's unfair, and a reset provides a way for it to be fair for everyone. The economy is completed inflated. However, there are players such as @StrKillr, who is very very rich. But he isn't hacking or glitching or duping (I accused him once, but I know he isn't) <3. I agree. Claimblocks are easy to get and having thousands means nothing. However if claimblocks are kept, then it allows the same thing to happen. People claiming thousands of blocks of land. Making it hard for new players to explore. Sometimes I find giant fields which are completely empty, however it's claimed by someone who's been offline for 5 months. It is an issue. A few beacons? No. But there are some people who have duped hundreds of beacons. Heads and barriers are also illegal to obtain, not to have. Some people have items that are supposed to be rare, but are not anymore. It's fun to have those items, but when you start over, it gives people a chance to find those, and makes it fun again. Str is usually online for more than 10 mins? I agree though. I don't think he should be the only moderator who feels pressured to hang out on Survival because everyone else is AFK grinding on OPPrison lol. - I still don't support your suggestions, I just think it's nice for everyone to start over.
