With the 1.2 update imminent, and with all the talk of a Map Reset (with our standard response being "we don't know"), we're going to make it your choice, as a valued player, on whether or not we reset. The result of this poll will be our decision for 1.2 for BOTH servers.

We have 3 Options:

1: Complete Reset

What WILL stay: Ranks, All Donator Items/Money

What WILL NOT stay: All Buildings, Money, Skills, Inventories, Items and Chests

Map will be available through a torrent download (current size: 3GB) to allow you to access your work in single player. This will include all work made from now until the reset. Recommended that you note down your co-ords.

2: Map Reset Only

What WILL stay: Ranks, Money, Skills, All Donator Items

What WILL NOT stay: All Buildings, Inventories, Items and Chests

3: Keep the Map, Accept what happens

What WILL stay: Everything

What MIGHT NOT stay: Potentially the map, if it breaks things at this point or in the future.

The options are above are to keep a level playing field for everybody, and to ease the workload on the staff. Donator items/money purchased in-game will be reissued (manual donations will be processed manually). Whatever happens, we hope you'll support us in the move and thank-you for staying with us as your choice of Minecraft Server.

euan142 A new world to adventure is always nice, so reset map only to keep the economy stable

GoldSnacks I guess keep the map and everything ...

alanrock200 I think we should have a map reset cuz the map is completely griefed. Almost everywhere is greifed. Its almost impossibl ...

CommanderXSOX I believe that the map is slightly spammed and treeless. If it was reset it would also implement the new changes; it should be reset. I also think that the stats should be reset, because many are rediculously high. Wouldn't it be good to have a new beginning? However, to keep newer players and noobs in check we should be able to keep inventories and cash; older players have more valuable items than the newer players and noobs, so they can still have an advantage.

If you have been wondering, some new changes that will occur in 1.2 ARE:
>New jungle biome
>Ocelots
>Jungle trees and jungle saplings
>Bushes made of wood and leaves will generate
>Puppies

are here (Breeding wolfies)
>You can now stand on top of a ladder block again
>Vines can be climbed if there is a block behind them
>New mob als
>Skeletons and zombies rush to water to avoid buring in day
>Fire charges
>A new structure called Desert Wells
>A delay in the death sceen appearing so you don't accidently log out
>Survival multiplayer mob hitboxes are fixed (At last!!!)
>Lava has a sound
>Rare chance that monsters drop items (Ex: Zombie drops iron helm)
>MAXIMUM BUILD HEIGHT IS Y=256!!!
>Redstone lamps
>Villagers repopulate
>Villagers have children
>Zombies attack villagers
>A LOT OF BUG FIXES!!!

As you can see I'm really excited for this update! Just imagine if we DIDN'T reset the map... how many of these fun updates wouldn't be included?

Thaser I'm pretty recent, so I don't have quite the same investment that some others do(and what I do have feels quite small compared to Formidable, ratchet, odin, etc). At the same time I'm proud of what I have, what I've managed to accumulate for use.

However, I did all that by punching a tree and working up. It can be done again. Though the one thing that makes me NOT want 1.2 is the new mob AI. We don't need smarter creepers. Damn things cost me enough diamond as it is(how the heck do they manage to blow up diamond anyway?)

Though I offer a counterpoint to the whole 'the map is explored' bit: How about you travel farther? I've traveled a day(in-game) away from Hayate, and found beautiful vistas, full of trees and flowers and friggin demonic creepers...

*ahem* Sorry. Anyway, perhaps people are just not traveling far enough anymore. And, lets face it, the new map will get the same way.

As far as stats go...I'm proud of my hard-earned 697 mining, 498 excavation, etc etc. I do not want to have to grind that up again ;) Inventories is an interesting word: just what the player can carry or X amount of chests as well?

ratchet10191 Thaser so vote for the map reset only. Keep you skills/money. the only thing you lose is what youve built and items youve gathered. Your skills will be worth more on a server where (people like me) dont already have 3000 diamonds stuck in a chest.

Thaser Welcome to life? The fate of the competent and skilled is to be outnumbered by the unskilled and dumb. That's no reason to wipe a map. Besides, again, everything gets used eventually. We're humans, its second nature.

ratchet10191 I think you are a little confused. We both WANT the map reset. Odin, of all towns is looking forward to a reset. We want to do what we have already done, but better.

ratchet10191 Even Bloodtral of Oasis was looking forward to it.
