Yeah I did try playing survival once but gave up because I couldn't find any ungriefed land, if it was reset I think it would bring new players to survival, including me.
Survival has amazing builds in it that need to stay, builds since 2013. Do not reset survival! No support!
Uhh.... You do realised Survival reset after 2013 xD So it won't be there anyway, whether it resets now or later.
