I think that's much better! Plus the spare space gives some element of freedom in construction.

What would be good is if spawn was in the basement of City Hall or something, with lots of signs on the wall with server rules etc, and then they can go up the stares and be greeted with a path towards the shop and bank as well as a panorama of the stuff in the other plots. Alternatively, maybe outside the station, as if they have just arrived.

Garsands, can you change the spawn point?
 
Good morning all.
The below will only happen if the dupe bug is fixed no point otherwise.

This is what will be happening.

1. We will be keeping the server map we have, there will be no new map.
2. The spawn will be moved to part of the world on the server that we have not been before, so it will be just like having a new world start. ( I will place it at the point marked on the map (see image), if it is in a place that you the players think is not the best spot for the spawn then I will more it within 500 blocks of where I placed it.
3. The old spawn will have a /warp point added to it
4. All of the chests, Work benches, Furnaces ect that are on the server at the moment will be cleared out. I have tested this & it works fine.
5. Each player will be given 2 double chests to fill with what every they wish to keep, before I clear all of the chests ect. These chests will be stored at a safe zone.
When you have filled your chests you need to place 2x cobble blocks on top & place a sign in front of each chest not on the cobble with your players name. This is to stop anyone from opening your chests to do so they need to remove the cobble first this would in turn show up on the /bbhere report.
There will be some items that will be limted ie Diamonds to one stack of 64.
Maybe more to follow. Yes I will be looking in everyones chests to make sure no one is keeping more then they should. You would only be waisting a slot.
6.All of your bags will be cleared aswell so no point in keeping anything on your person.
7.This will be done I hope by Monday 27th December, this will give the players time to sort your chests out.
8.I will need to remove everyone from the whitelist while I clear the chests & clear your bags.

Thats it.

This way I think it should be fair for most players.
1. No one loses any work
2. You get to keep a lot of your old items
3. You get a nice new spawn to build on
4. Can get a economy going on the server
5. Everyone starts on a closer playing field
6. Duping items get removed from the server.
7. At your new spawn you can have a no sky bridges ect rule & the old spawn can have them, something for eveyone.

I will post more later its now 2am

The size of the image black parts as well is about 10,000 x 10,000 blocks.
If the new spawn marked in red is no good there are two other places & thats top left & top right of the image that could be used.

That sounds good, not sure if i'll bother with the double chest thing though. In doing that do we not risk some extreme lag, however?

Also, who the hell built something 4800 blocks away from spawn? :p

Oh, and this is assuming that a world reset is optional.
 
can we get that area explored and a map of the area up please. The sooner we find a decent spot the sooner we can start building (theres nothing stopping us using the materials we currently have to start building the spawn before the 27th right? or do you want the spawn constructed from scratch, after the wipe?)
 
erm, has the chests been wiped already? I just logged on and all of mine and nickslashes (only 2 people on) have empty chests?

Edit: The empty chest issue may be down to lag perhaps? all commands like /getpos, and trying to destroy blocks are horribly lagged to the point of making it unplayable, and any items put into a chest just vanish.

I have started to explore towards the new spawn area, and have gone further than the explored area of the current map, but with no coords or points of reference I have no idea how close I am, but I have walked for several min non stop. So far I have found nothing that would look like a suitable area for a large town (plenty of decent mountains that would make interesting places to build though, I've seen several huge mountains that have overhangs and large caves going through above ground, and lakes at the bottom of them.

was kinda looking forward to a new map, the ones we played earlier were pretty cool. surface lava and what not.

having killed myself about an hour ago, coming back to bare chests and an empty inventory made for rather boring play :P

Thanks. I dunno what happened to the hill section. I went up there before i started my 'bend' and there was a load of cobble stone drops on the floor whcih was weird, and also a load of glass drops on the floor, which is even more strange as if you break glass there is no 'drop' from it..

I think the whole server is protected atm, not lag.
 
2 double chests full of whatever you want... that seems like a lot of space for someone to hold all their dupes. plus, excess stuff can be just placed as blocks in the world i assume, thus having even more (i.e. iron/diamond blocks placed ready to be mined).

Personally was looking forward to a reset, but maybe thats just me :)

While I think this is a very good idea and probably the best compromise to please everyone I was sortta looking forward to a restart :p

When are we going to get these chests that we can move our stuff into anyway?
If it's going to be wiped on the 27th - then I don't know about other people, but over the xmas period my access to a computer/device that can run minecraft will be limited to say the least.
 
VOTE TIME This due to most players still saying about a restart even when I put all that work in to keep the old world :eek:

Luckly the server still has not been undated so I am not losing anyones game time.

Do you want a server world restart ?

YES
or
NO

Theres no other choice just a simple YES or NO
Post your vote from this post onwards.
If the server is updated by 3pm today then the voting will end then, if not then it will end as soon as the server has been updated.
please post just a YES or NO thats all no other text as it will make the counting easyer.
Any votes that have any other text will be void if you want to put a reason for your vote then do it in a second post.

The old world is still safe when you played on it this monring it was full of /protected zones & missing chests.

I have put a world reset on the server for you to explore I will upload a new one again later today.
I have saved the new world so you can build but your work will be cleared again. Dont worry about where you spawn to as this can be moved.
I will get on mumble soon.
