Please take note that this is just a suggestion and nothing will happen without a large majority voting in favour of this. Even then a map reset won't suddenly happen, there will be a set date.
So the server had a little hiccup today. This made players start to wonder whether we should have a fresh map. The main idea behind this is that we can start spawn again and make spawn much more organised. This is the first map the server has had and it has been around since August 30th. Many players have come and gone during this time.
I've added a poll to this thread; please vote for your preferred option. It would be extremely appreciated if you post your opinion on this thread so we can have a discussion about this.
IF the server were to be reset this is what would happen: (Not Specalios)
Up until the day that we reset it everyone will get creative on the old map, just to have fun. And only if they want creative.
The new map will have shops, just like our map has, but more organized. There will be a large 5-block wide road running in four directions.
No one will be able to build in town without permission, otherwise it'll just end up a mess like our map is. The shops will go out to about 50-100k blocks out, depending on how many players want shops. Once the shops stop there will be a residential area.
Think of spawn as a circle, shops in the middle with homes surrounding it. The houses can be however you'd like them to be, just not too big.
There will be no large builds, or whatever that ugly mob thing is at spawn. I love the idea of it, just not the location.
There will be a few days where the spawn wont be ready for players, and that will suck because many people will get bored and leave, so we will try to throw in some mini-games that we can play from time to time.
Also, when spawn is finished and everyone is able to start doing whatever they want, we will have a drop party. To celebrate the new server.
Before voting, here are a few pros and cons about having a new map compiled by multiple server members.
Pros
1. Upgraded spawn. Spawn will be more organised and larger.
2. All players will be on an equal footing.
3. There has been a lot of new players. This makes it more fair for them.
4. The spawn biomes aren't that practical. Nobody really builds in the mesa and a new map would have better spawn biomes for building.
5. Makes it easier for new players to find a place to build a home. We've had so many new players on this server, a lot of which have left already. This means that there are many abandoned places.
Cons
1. Players are attached to this map. Some players have put in so much effort, to see their project vanish due to a map reset would be horrible.
2. We'd lose all items and builds. A map reset means a completely fresh start. No player files will be transferred.
3. Some players will most likely quit/become inactive. I've went through so many map resets on an old vanilla whitelist server, players would always end up quitting or lose theirsex drive to build.
On a side note: the current map will be saved and available for download if a map reset occurs.

If at first you don't succeed, give up.
