It seems that a fair amount of players wish for a map reset. When this map was first generated it was suggested that it would remain until March at the very least. However, with the amount of players wanting a new map it's about time we vote and discuss when to reset the map.
Not everyone is going to like the idea of a map reset. Some players are still doing projects or let's plays, so these players will most likely find it unfair. However, if a large majority agrees to a map reset and a specific date is agreed upon we will reset the map.
The current map will be uploaded and a download link will be available for all players.
Discussion is highly encouraged, so don't just vote, leave a comment in this thread or on the Discord. Every player has an equal say here, so give us your opinion!
If at first you don't succeed, give up.

I voted yes for a reset, and in terms of time I think anyone currently working on a project should be given time to complete it. However as long as its not one that they have just started and would take ages, one that could ideally be finished within one/two weeks.

I believe a reset will bring back a lot activity to the server. As a fairly new player I had tons of ideas for what to build when I started, but the talk about a reset made me lose interest quickly because I didn't want to spent a lot of time building something that would be gone in a few weeks or never even finished. As soon as the new map is up I will personally return with new ideas, new interests and hopefully so will others So I say it need to happen as soon as possible so we can get started on the new adventures. - Tene

Almost tempted to vote no. I feel that it's unfair for several players who are working on projects right now and have accomplished a lot. However, I cannot speak for others and a new map should rekindle my interest in playing on the SMP. I'm voting for a map reset at the start of March so that other players have a chance to finish their projects.

I am all for a reset! Having said that, I voted to reset at the first of March. That gives everyone time to finish their projects, get any videos they want, and it also gives us time to discuss the next map and any preparation that must be made there.

If you are currently without a project, and are wanting an immediate reset......may I suggest coming over to the event server with me and a few others to build some Hide and Seek maps in the meantime? I just finished one and will be starting another, I would dig collaborating with someone, especially if it helps them through the next two weeks.

Personally I have been out of projects since spawn had become developed. Spawn is my project that I like to work on, it's literally the only thing I do on the server. I just hope that when the new map comes that the players will maybe listen to me about how spawn should be done, considering I've organized two spawns now.
Either way, this map reset will be good for me and for many other players that don't have things to do. Or are just wanting something fresh and new.

A Yes from me too, because when I joined the server for the first time it looked like everyone had everything. (Elytras, Diamonds, Beacons, etc...) I'm hoping that I can finally start from 0 with everyone. It will be fun! I also have a lot of ideas that I want to try out on this new map so, it will attach me even more to the server.

I agree with a reset, mostly because there are a lot of new members that I'm sure would benefit from a new map. However, a ton of work has gone into this map and it feels bad to leave it all behind.
I feel as if I haven't been on this server for all that long and already we've gone through two resets, this will make the third. It makes it tough to get engaged in a build when you know a reset is going to wipe it all out.
Going forward I'd like to see fewer resets. Perhaps come up with a strict schedule for them, or perhaps reserve resets for large MC updates.
I've voted for the beginning of March.
Edit: I changed my vote for one week. Some people make some good points. If we're going to reset, we might as well get it over with as soon as we can, that way we can all get back to the game.

I also would like to see less resets. I love our current spawn, and vote YES reluctantly.

I agree with you two. I prefer just going out farther away to restart on a new base instead of resetting the map.

I voted for no because of two reasons. Personally I still have a lot of things planned and wouldn't like to restart anew. Objectively, map seems ok to me, there are some problems at spawn but we can fix those and everything will be fine. If map do reset, we should change generator settings so that we get unique map, there's amplified option, different sea level, different ore distribution, a lot of things can be tweaked. I don't thing map should be reset only to be reset.

I would like to see a reset as when I joined the server a lot of things had already been done which made me quite resilient to continue playing and after the winter break, coming back I have no enthusiasm to start playing on a server which has too much done. Also I love new beginnings . I would also love to be a big part in helping design things.

I voted for a reset because it's clearly what the majority want, so no point resisting it. If it's going to happen I think sooner rather than later, because I don't see any point in carrying on with something which will be gone in a few weeks. I also think that resets should be less frequent, maybe once a year or so. I like the sound of tweaking the map generation settings to get more interesting terrain (I don't think the ore frequency should be adjusted though).
