I'm hoping for that too, Chiraku. At the moment, I have nothing to do on here really with the update coming. I've just been making treasure hunts to keep people occupied, apart from their own business, so the server doesn't just up and die until 1.3.
I'm really looking forward to a fresh start, it will give everyone something to do.
Yeah, it seems regardless, the server has pretty much died until 1.3 D:
I've been playing some old games cause I've been having some serious gaming nostalgia lol.
Anyways, I hope - and expect to see everyone back on the server on 1.3.
Not more to add cause everything in here counts for me exactly the same xD.
Only 1 thing to add.
If we will get a reset and to up the activity for now we should get some sort of event going on untill the reset that will allow players to get some stuff into the new 1.3 map .
I am saying something like complete this and that and get a small gift in 1.3.
I would like to know Which course of action I should take.
Do nothing and wait around until 1.3, because nothing will be kept.
Continue building up my palace and farm. (just added a 3rd floor to my farm. need to know if i Should bother with a 4th.)
Hoard building materials in chests.
I do not like the Idea of losing everything I have built. But I would be more ok with it If I could carry over at least a good portion of my stuff to rebuild with.
It's leaning toward a FULL reset; in other words, nothing for anyone anywhere with nothing available other than a 100% fresh 1.3 world. Unless of course, I'm completely misunderstanding the meaning of a full reset.
I think being able to transfer over some things entales many complications, and is considered to be part of the partial reset option.
Exactly Chiraku.
Transferring any items, even a stack of iron will throw it off pace/balance.
I've been here for almost three months with relatively consistant activity, so you can image all the stuff I will be losing, but I honestly don't care lol.
A full reset is a full reset. And sometimes that is necessary and proper to a game in order to keep it's activity and creative spirit alive.
This reset will bring many, many new ideas, towns, alliances, nations and even a new economy. Not to mention A WHOLE NEW 1.3 WORLD.
There should have been a 4th option on the poll. One that was brought up long before the poll. A server wipe, but with some things saved. I for one would like to have my palace moved over as a town hall for the spawn town. If I bother to finish it, It would be a great show piece, lounge, and such.
For now I await Bex's announcement on how he plans to do this. I am looking forward to a new world. I hope that we can at least carry over "Expedition kits" with us. Some food, torches, a few tools, a boat, and some seeds. I want to go hunting for an Extreme Hills Biome ASAP. I want to build my new home there and hunt for EMERALD!!!
I sent this idea to bex and told it to a few people playing on the server. Yet to hear back from Bex, but the people on the server liked the Idea. I would like to have my palace turned into a civic center of sorts in the new spawn town. It currently has a VAST cavernous interior that is mostly empty excepting the lava lighting/water fountians in the corners. Tons of room both horizontal and vertical. I want to Open my palace up for the server to build in. I also plan to make my VAST stores of items and building materials available for use in the improvements. I have several stacks of just about everything except end stone.
It would give us something to do while we wait for 1.3.
I have built a well lit path to my palace from Desert haven, It starts at the War hub, and the end of the nether brick bridge near the trading post. It does not take but a minute to run over there. Feel free to look around.
Edit: I have now finished a railroad to my palace next to my wood plank path.
Sorry I haven't responded Drunkenp0wner - I have had literally zero free time these last two weeks. The rotation I'm on is ending tomorrow so I should be back to being active once again. I read over your idea and I'm definitely intrigued; I will talk to street and let you know very soon.
I'm going to forward Hyeroshi's idea to the public - to those who are still checking the thread.
Hyeroshi suggested switching the server to the 1.3 pre-release patch on July 25th and playing vanilla for that week prior to the full 1.3 release, on August 1st.
If Bex and Street approve my Idea in time. I will try to Get Hunts as well as my other W.O.L.F. Clan mates to hop on the Server and lend a hand. This will boost the servers activity leading up to 1.3 greatly, hopefully keeping up our retention rate for the 1.3 update.
I have noticed that the community generally does not PVP outside of Warzones. And most of us have grown so friendly with each other that people are generally surprised and angered when PVPed out of the blue be a new arrival. They are generally then treated with hostility gust as if they were a Greifer. With the Shouting match on chat and the frantic attempts to retrieve one's items.
PVP on the server, in my opinion, does not mesh well with our community. Not to mention that MCMMO abilities give too large an advantage to first strikers. Even with diamond armor a stone sword wielder using the serrated strikes ability can take you down before you can even turn around.
I created a poll to get everyone;s opinion on PVP after the Reset.

I couldn't approve more of this idea! Stay tuned

These are just my educated assumptions, though.

I haven't seen more than 5 people on the server in a long time.
