When 1.2 comes out Max. I suggest you host an official poll for the server to decide if they'd be ok with a wipe as long as their town is transferred over.
congress veto's. in arcadia, mrtree and i have build so many cool things that could not be made again. with are new spawn, all the spawn homes, and the effort it took to make all of them, to just wipe the map over plot sizes seems a little bit dumb. i love the idea of added height, but im not enthusiastic at all to delete my town for it.
Hey, lots of us have built awesome stuff, that would be impossible to rebuild. Everyone would lose in a map wipe, but many people would just lose less. I think using the vanilla server as a 1.2 is a great idea, myself. That way, we could still have our builds on the main server, and use the 1.2 server to start all over again. that would be awesome. the fun of the game is about going from nothing to having everything after all. I'm officially ok with a map wipe.
Reseting the map is tempting. Yet I think it would upset about 90% of the community and possibly cause the server to end. I've seen some other servers that have multiple build worlds, maybe that would be a fair solution.
there already has been a peaceful and pvp map extention that opened up all the 1.0.0 area for more building
