I don't have much license to speak here because I hardly ever log on anymore... but I would like to throw my support to either a full reset or a hardcore server. Honestly the hardcore server would be really cool and the only downside would be splitting the player base into two servers. I've been playing on this server for a long time and most of my experience has been great. In the past year, I've stopped playing as much because of personal, outside reasons, but also because the game itself isn't as interesting anymore. I feel like a reset would be like a breath of fresh air and would bring back old players while inviting new players who are looking for the full 1.14 experience.
Also, I don't know if I like the idea of carrying over claimblocks or items. People with more claimblocks could claim all of the area around spawn within the first five minutes of the reset, and it would become a monopoly for 5-10 people. I think carrying over ranks without the claimblocks would be okay, and I don't have a strong opinion on sethomes. I feel like carrying over items would be taking away from a full reset because people would bring stacks of diamonds and rare items and get a cheap head start. I understand that this wouldn't be the case with all players but it would also be unavoidable.
Now that I've said this, please spare me the comments on how I can do a personal reset. (I've heard it before)

(I've heard it before) People want to hang on to their past for as long as possible. Simplex has gotten less interesting for me as well personally; I can only build and participate in community events where I don't belong for so long. The decision to not reset the map truly disappointed me, but if the server truly wants such an ancient map to remain, then it must be so. It would have been a breath of fresh air, but then there's the thing. Players like us can't feel satisfied with a reset every two or three years. It's got to be every update. A lot of players are willing to give up the joys of a completely new map and fresh start for years of building, and building, and building. The carrying over items idea is ridiculous but I must disagree with your assessment on claimblocks, although I must admit that I am partial due to the fact that I have 125k claimblocks hahah. They'll dance around a reset eternally it would seem, and I won't fight for such a thing if they are that determined to preserve such an ancient map. I understand their attachment. |

I just want to add a few words here.
We didn't decide for or against a reset at this point at all.
We simply felt like it was time to upgrade, as the last ever 1.14 release was out a long time ago, and a lot of ppl were becoming inpatient, staff included.
It took too long, both because the game wasn't stable enough, including plugins, but also because planning and deciding what to do and how to do it was a hard thing, when it comes to the decision of resetting or not, including what all our options are, who wants what among the players etc.
It also doesn't help that staff members have real lifes(shocking, right?) and different time zones. And that makes even small discussions on a few of the subjects lasting several days or weeks in a discord chat.
So, this whole reset or not thing was postponed, so we could get the server up to 1.14.4 as soon as possible without further delay(1.15 snapshots are even out already. Yey bees!)
We will try to deal with what we can, when it comes to getting the new 1.14 content available.
Please follow the upgrade thread Kitty made.
