@Tez1010 Firstly thank you for organising this. I am sure it is not what you want to be doing at this busy time of year.

Two questions
----
Will you keep the old map open for the time being like with legacy?
-----
And what did Nysic mean when he said this

"No bases will be transferred, the option is there to buy them to have personally"

Do you mean you can have a copy of that part of the map to put in your own sp map?
-----

We will not be making another legacy server this time around

What he meant by that is that you can purchase the base by having Crafty give it to you at a rate of chunks per base, so you can have it yourself and be able to view it once we reset the map.

first off i would like to say that i love this server and the people in the community both staff and players. this news hits me pretty hard bc of the number of times i've heard it, usually followed (later) by staff telling everyone that "we aren't planning to reset and if we do it won't be for awhile" i hear that line all the time and yet it's not been true not once. now i get that crafty has little to no say in this reset and it's more of just an unfortunate necessity but im troubled none the less. since we reset for 1.9 i mined over 91,000 obsidian which makes up my base. on 1.8 before the reset caused by some a-hole in a manner i'm not fully informed on, i had mined 37,000 obsidian and was starting to enjoy building with it. note: this was my first MC server ever and the only one to date. after the reset i set about finding a spot for my new base, this took awhile but eventually i settled into a mountain crater and set about building my base, i decided i would one up my previous base by making it similar in size but made of all obsidian with lava between layers of varying thickness, this base was sadly never completed and consisted of over 75k obsidian. so now after hearing of the next impending reset having mined a grand total of over 203k obsidian i have decided i will not be building out of obsidian at all after the reset, or at all for that matter. i will be attempting to change my playstyle and will be more pvp oriented mostly focusing on raiding and griefing. i will not nor do i suggest anyone bother building anything as it will be destroyed/deleted and probably sooner than staff would like you to think.

First let me say I love this server and I vote for this server for theses reasons in this order of importance.

1. I vote foremost that I like this server the best.
2. to get free food

3 to get crafty coins

Now under the new system it feels like I am being forced to vote positively for the server solely to get more warps.
this feels a little totalitarian not democratic.
I want to vote for the server because I like it, not because I want my warps.
There should at least be some kind of option to be open and fair.
Otherwise your basically farming votes for the server thru extortion.
This not meant to be an attack but an observation of a clear problem that needs addressed.

How will or will random T/P still exist? I prefer to build beyond 50000 out and don't want to walk all the way.
I suspect nether roof travel will either be crowded or nerfed so I am curious to options available.
For example instead of a November crafty crate could I instead be T/P ed out beyond 50000 in a direction of my choosing as in 25000 by -25000 etc ect ?

The warp system is free depending on your rank. As a VIP you have the second one free and as VIP+ The 3rd is free as well. The decision to use votes for this system was so that people had an incentive to vote for us. With the removal of crafty coins it left a void that was decided we would use this system to fill. We are not trying to openly force anyone to vote for us, but we feel that this system is fair.

It doesn't discriminate against any player and if people new to the server wish to use it they can so freely by voting. It's not a replacement for set home which is and always will remain free, this is just an extra system that may be used if players so choose too.

I will want to purchase my base. I dont want to lose it.

I think the new warp for votes is a brilliant idea. Also allowing people to have more than one place will mean less pressure to have an alt.

Can i just point out that crafty said vip+ would be two but free to use and Nysic said three. I hope Crafty's is the correct one as this makes more sense when you revert to vip.

Thank you too for the reissue of the nov crate. Much appreciated esp as it was my first one.

Imo, the magic meat could stand to get removed or lowered too.

Also, I wish to take this opportunity to say that it's a great idea to have vanilla villagers at spawn, but I still want to make the shameless pitch that a custom villager to take at least wheat seeds would be great. Even a stack of seeds for 1 emerald or even a piece of coal...

im stupid....so will the server be up in 5 days time? or is it like in 5 days time the server will be down for 6 weeks

@TheForgotten20 im stupid....so will the server be up in 5 days time? or is it like in 5 days time the server will be down for 6 weeks

In 5 days time you'll log into reset server.

@jamlbon Not that's it's likely I'm buying but what is the cost per chunk ??

That is something @CraftyMyner has to decide on, I'm sure he will let you guys know as soon as he possibly can.

@TheForgotten20 so will the reset server's buildings be transferred onto the hardware in 6 weeks time?

We are changing hosts entirely for 6 weeks until the server is back up then swapping back to that hardware and host.

So yes in 6 weeks we will bring the server down to transfer everything across.

also, do rich players get to transfer thier bases from the 1.9 server to the new one? (pay2win)

@TheForgotten20 also, do rich players get to transfer thier bases from the 1.9 server to the new one? (pay2win)

@Nysic No shulker spawners or any spawners will be transferred. No chests, bases or items of any description will be transferred. Everyone will start fresh.

Do we know when exactly the server is going down for the reset?

yeah yeah same old bs of "gotta keep our rank" here is an idea maybe stop screwing any and all players who want to be on the server long term who donate and vote daily bc they enjoy the server. you know what having bunches of new players does? next to nothing. according to your stats only about 1/2 of players make it out of spawn, of those how many come back the next day? what about how many end up becoming long term players and how many fewer are still here? if i had to throw out a guess i'd say excluding staff there's less than 5 people who still play on here that did when i first joined. it's just ridiculous as far as im concerned that you could really think that a constant influx of new players will be A. sustainable (you're targeting a specific audience which is finite and will run out or at least will reach such low levels it may as well have run out.) B. that it actually helps in any significant way. these new players do nothing but take up slots on the server, if you have the stats then id love to hear em whether im mistaken or not. how many new players donate? how many donate more than just once for vip or vip+ and then either end up leaving or never donate again?

In other words im sick of the bs and will stand for it no more. if your precious new players are so important then after the reset your gonna be disappointed as im making it my mission to raid and greif every new player who joins till they quit.

Wow dude. Why so much anger towards CraftyMynes?

there isn't any. i'm not mad i'm fed up. if crafty wants to shovel shit down our throats then imma puke it back in his face. he says new players are vital to keeping the server running and thats a total load so im gonna kill any and all new players. this on its own wont do much as most would have quit at some point anyway. but im sure they will complain to staff so they can enjoy the headache as i enjoy being told bs and told to say thank you for it.

i kill nubs and some leave and others complain @LogantheCaveman

exactly what i'm saying. im not doing much but ill do what i can. call it civil disobedience. if it makes staffs job harder or more stressful then oh well they can get over it since new players are so important. and im not breaking any rules since pvp is allowed so i dont want to hear any shit for me doing it.

A lot of these new players stay and become regulars, i remember a lot of them when they joined, and ive been around since jan
New players, whether you accept it or not are the blood of the server. Anyone you know on the server were once new players. I havent seen you on much lately though(although may be my fault), while a lot of newer players are on much more often
Crafty wouldnt do a reset unless it was nesscary. I have spent tons of time in the end, gotten far out and done a lot and that will be wiped soon
From my player perspective its annoying, but life moves on, itll be easier to find 1.11 items, to get certain things. It will revitalise the server in a way and im sorry you feel so bad against it.
Crafty is doing, as he always does, what is best for the server.

@iwarriori"; Do we know when exactly the server is going down for the reset?"

@Nysic In 5 days time you'll log into reset server.

i work second shift with my new job which is why im not on as often anymore but i do get on though usually when there is little to no staff(or players for that matter). i speak from my own experience and from what ive seen over the past 2 years is that new players come and go but very few stay and fewer donate, meanwhile old players leave after nearly every change or reset or sometimes just bc they are sick of the community as it is(its gotten much worse imo) i joined back in november of 2014 just about a month after the server went up.

i was a new player and i stayed...

have you ever donated? (i think i remember your name green at one point) cause if not you lend my point strength, sure you stayed but you didn't donate and deffinetly didn't donate multiple times(going off the assumption you didn't donate of course)

I was a new player too, at some point, you were a new player as well. You're literally going to throw a tantrum and ruin other people's game just so you can get back at staff? Or prove a point? Whatever your anger fueled reason, it's a kick at Crafty and the server.

Seeing as your head is too far up your ass to actually read the words that were written, let me just highlight this for you @LogantheCaveman

@CraftyMyner Now unfortunately we don't have much say in this nor do we control the time frame they have given us. To be exact, 5 days from this post he will be removing the hardware from its current location and moving it, including all back up servers. The process will take approximately 6 weeks to complete.

This means that the issue with our service provider has forced our hand into a reset.

also " if i had to throw out a guess i'd say excluding staff there's less than 5 people who still play on here that did when i first joined."
and yet I see more than 5 people post on these forums??? wouldn't that imply that they're new and regular players here??

For someone that not "mad, just upset" you seem to be throwing a slew of pure shit.

Let's see some new players who donated!!!!!

@CovertRaw @Dennari43 @HaloNest @BluePlauge @Cileklim @Lazoru @MizoreShirayuki @misterkickman2 @carhadras @Cutebot @kinkyboss @MagicalMapmaker @SaltyFlubberFish @Suhnbreak
also if we're going on the category of new players who donated let's just highlight all the @VIP+ and @VIP since everyone was a new player before. Holy shit!! amazing!!!!!!!

So, wait. Does this mean that the server will be reset on a new seed after 5 days and then return to its previous state after 6 weeks?

right you are dawn we all donated and were all new its called an exception but then i guess your head is too far up "your" ass to know that. how many thousands or tens of thousands of new players has craftymynes had? vs how many are now regulars? also you should remove your head from your ass to read since i said players that still play from when i had first joined i.e. lonewolf,lesser,kayla... oh wait you don't like to hear about admins that aren't royal bitches with a god complex. btw let me compliment you on your likely future comeback "your mom" which is just so original.

@PlesleronTepryos So, wait. Does this mean that the server will be reset on a new seed after 5 days and then return to its previous state after 6 weeks?

Itll reset in 5 days, in 6 weeks the new reset map will be moved, so no return

@LogantheCaveman . lonewolf,lesser,kayla... oh wait you don't like to hear about admins that aren't royal bitches with a god complex. btw let me compliment you on your likely future comeback "your mom" which is just so original.

Ah yes, since Kayla, Wolf and Lesser were such model admins, man. Kayla with the repeated killing of a regular player using op powers, and Lesser stealing emails from the website in order to promoted his failed server, and Wolf blowing up a player's base due to having many entities.

but yes!!! They are not royal bitches with a god complex like me!! How dare you bring up such model citizens!!

Oh, what's that? My reply wasn't "your mom"? Seems like your dream career of being a professional fortune teller has been crushed :( and I love how you still haven't processed the fact that this reset wasn't something we had control over.

i was never green
