Best Posts in Thread: Reset?

Resetting is the dumbest option it is. You're trashing everyone's time investment.

Copying towns is not even a possibility.

What do you say to your customers who have spent a lot of real money dollars for meebles?

How do you convince them to do it again when they know, and you've proven, that you'll wipe it eventually.

 

Copy and pasting wouldn't be as easy as you think, an admin would have to use an external program such as mcedit for that and with the amount of towns there is..I highly doubt them doing that

 

Exactly, you don't have as much invested in a Town. Meanwhile, those such as @DevilSpawn112 have put more than two years into one Beta town.

 

get out

 

This is something that people don't consider at all and people should be taking note of this. The fact is if this idea was ever publicly approved/considered by admins(will never happen), donations would stop because rank sellers would literally be throwing money down the drain. No one would donate because its a waste of money, all gets reset in some period of time.

It just puts the server in a terrible spot with its money spending populace that its bound to become financially unstable rather than do any actual good for the server. Without a way to give confidence to remaining customers, who wouldn't ever really have a reason to "donate" again out of fear of a wipe, theres no point to consider this as an option. Resets mean people lose. People don't like losing. People don't like losing even more when it comes to their hard earned money.

Last thing, almost none of these comments are related to the actual suggestion, which is combining Towns A and Towns B into a single towny world, not a towny reset. Way to derail the guys suggestion.

To comment on the actual suggestion, thats a very lengthy process and the last time something of this scale was tried on a server, it shut down for about a day and lagged the server for weeks (towny biome reset). It was originally separated into two worlds to decrease lag on a server that had more active towny players. Now that the server has less people, making it into one world could mean less stress for the server. I honestly say no because it doesn't seem worth it in the end. Lotta work and logistics for no tangible positive outcome.

 

They did not donate to the server - They bought a product the server was selling.

Don't call them donors, call them customers.

I mean all your really doing everytime a reset is brought up is making anyone who actively sells ranks stop selling them for the time being. Because when it's talked about, and acknowledged, then it means any rank sales today might not be worth anything next week.

 

I don't think the people that would come back and stay would be greater than the people who would leave.
I think people would chargeback and I think while some players will be happy, more will be extremely angry.

I don't think it'd work.

 

All the mayors would quit, though new player may join and make towns, like 30% of the active server would be gone, meep can't afford to lose that many.

Eccept minecraft it's self is on a decline. Towns are built on one kind of player, the player that joins the server, then leaves forever. Only about 1-0.5% of players stay and another 80-90% are not fully active. A fresh new start would be catastrophic for the server.

Also, if you have a town and you would willingly give it up, what kind of mayor are you. I have devoted countless hours to meep to build my town to almost 300 residents. More people than is possible to know well (average is about 250) mentally, yet, somehow you can love it as a whole. I know how I would feel if all that was wiped clear.

 

I say complete reset, towny and eco. Let players sell stuff and then give them a percentage of that for the new towny.

 

Resetting the server would cause people who invested time or money to quit, because they never know when it'll be reset again. By resetting, you've effectively made everyone's time and money worthless, and will quickly realize that you'll lose most of the dedicated community members who are left.

Basically, yes, I agree with Deinen.
