I’m thinking of resetting the maps.
You. Right now.
No, seriously, hear me out…
As many of you are already aware, the 1.3 update brings some groovy new features, such as biome-specific temples and villages, the addition of emerald ore, higher mountainous regions, etc. All of which will be quite difficult to reproduce without simply resetting the maps.
But if those things aren’t all that important to the majority out there, we can put off the reset to 1.4, when the Minecraft API is *tentatively* scheduled to be baked in. Chances are, the plugin system that we all currently know and love will be replaced by official Minecraft plugins and we’ll need to reset everything else anyway, so why not the worlds?
Or, for you Satan-worshiping sadomasochists out there (you know who you are…) we can do it for both updates.
Now before you decide, you should know what I’ve been thinking for our next map reset.
Finally do away with the guest world entirely.
- It’s been mostly obsolete for months (a year?) now. I feel that we’d be much better served by a sectioned off area of the main world where guests are able to build, with no rights outside that area.
Turn the member’s world into a Creative-mode world.
- The 1.3.1 update of Minecraft brings an AMAZING new creative mode inventory screen, and I would be doing you all a disservice, nay, an injustice, if I were to deprive you of that.
Addition of some sort of Anything Goes world
- Basic chat-courtesy and kid-friendliness still apply, but in-game changes are not monitored, policed, or acted upon. Possibly creative-mode, possibly warehouse-driven, possibly survival-only. But no rules for world changes, chest robbing, etc. Anything Goes.
So armed with the above information dump, what do you think?
When do we reset the maps?
- When we update to 1.4 (50%, 8 Votes)
- Why not both? (44%, 7 Votes)
- When we update to 1.3 (6%, 1 Votes)

Dose that mean that World is gona reset world and what we done is gonne?
Correct, the current worlds will be archived and available for download, and we would start with fresh worlds so that the new terrain, villages, ores, etc can be populated into new maps. Otherwise we wouldn’t see any of that stuff on the old maps. If you decide to download the old maps, I can always import your building/area into the game, if you can get me a .schematic file. Or if you let me or another Moderator know what you’d like saved, we can do it before the reset, then import it into the new worlds. We have options for those who really don’t want to lose their work.
sweet to know. And i would love to save my town that i been working on. Becuse i have put load down to it and its not even half done.the think i can be okey to lose is the lake and tower and bridge that i made to the town. All that i can do later when i see the area i would like to putit on. And when i say town i mean the catacombs and the lower parts of the houses and basments iv done.
ideas like this make me proud to play with such great people
always taking care of the end user 
Lol. So that’s a no?
I’ll start off saying wordpress is very unintuitive, and i’m completely inclined to agreed on the server reset. I”ll also go on to say for anyone this bothers i’ll personally assist in the rebuild (legit) of anything you would like to have rebuilt if that is your issue for wanting to keep the server in a regressed state. The world and everything around it is about progression. I have found myself finally with some free time again and i really like some of the new updated features. +1 for my vote if it matters on the updating the server.
Mak0 answer a brother on steam will ya?!
I’d say wait for 1.4 if it is all going to need wiping then too, no point in starting on building something big just to have to restart it in a month(of course I’m sure it will take longer than that).
Ah the greatness of playing and running a server for the “release version” of a game.
Now, who are the 6 Satan-worshiping sadomasochists out there that voted for both?
I voted for both
Gotta cause as much pain and suffering as possible
First and foremost…..Mak0!!!!!! Missed you hun
Secondly, I agree with moment. Why update multiple times? I think waiting until 1.4 (assuming it’s not gonna take till Christmas to kick ass and chew bubble gum) will also provide a great opportunity for us to create those .schematic files and get prepared for the big change.
where’s the +1 button.
Also when we do a reset, I will host the maps on my site for anyone to download directly which will likely be faster than the torrent. Just like I did with the old ones.I agree with moment and warped on this one though.
thanks for hosting the maps <3 still need to grab me a copy of inxaneisland
You will need to post the Links for the maps.
+1 moment – Missed all you guys and you too w4rp3d
Going Hiking this weekend should be back Sunday. Then all kinds of free time to play. Inxane tried to hit you up tonight, says your offline wtheck man. Leave a brotha hanging geez 
could we keep all our valuables? I has riches and other crap.
Unfortunately not; valuables and riches are part of the world files. To save those would mean saving a bunch of other weird data that accompanies it, and I’d rather not sully the new worlds with old data and risk some sort of version corruption.
Since the reset on 1.4 is inevitable, can we have some sort of EPIC goodbye to these worlds?, maybe involving TNT? eh?
thats what we did last time we reset the guest world, so i think that might be in order (obv. we would make the backup first).
What a tragedy it was! I’ll always remember you wonderful guest house.
Multiple resets doesn’t make too much sense, so I would say wait until 1.4, but either way it doesn’t matter as much to me.
Just means I’ll have to start mining again and be #1 in riches >:D
but it was fun to crash the server over and over (mostly cause of world editing in giant blocks of tnt lol)
Hahaha, darn those spawned TNT, just too much fun to handle.
AAAAUUUUUGH!!! I am gone for a few days and all chaos breaks loose! I am fairly stuck in my ways, so I vote put off the map update for as long as possible.
Will there still be a world like the main world with no griefing?
reset them please there is no space for no people
They’ll be reset once the Minecraft API comes out. For now, check the Online Map, there are *plenty* of wide-open spaces to build. You might just need to venture out a bit.
