So all of the arguments for and against a reset are in other posts, this one is purely if one DOES occur. My base takes up a total of 16 chunks, but days if not weeks of my life have been put into molding those chunks, and to have them completely vanish is beyond disheartening.

This is my suggestion:

I pay a fee (an extra months VIP would be an example) towards the server, and Crafty could MCEdit the chunks I need into a blank map, and send those to me, which would allow me to put them into my personal SINGLE-PLAYER survival.

I am under no illusion of having my builds move over to the new map, but losing them entirely would almost certainly prevent my return to CraftyMynes, purely because my motivation would be gone.

Believe me, I understand that it is a survival, raid/grief server, and a total base destruction could happen at anytime, that's what makes it so fun! But there is just something different about the reset, and obviously I'm having a hard time adequately putting it into words, but there is a difference.

I know MCEdit is tedious and time consuming and that is why I am very willing to pay to have it done, it means that much to me.

Thank you for at least considering this,
