Official Survival Suggestion Thread

I'm fine as long as there's no reset I like my stuuff

 

I really liked my old island from the last survival world, but I was still ok with doing a reset to start over. Builds don't carry over. Minecraft is a wonderful game of creation. We can't just remain in the same stagnant world forever. It's nice to breathe life into the community again and bring back old players. Yes, it kinda sucks to lose all your builds, but you can still remember them. If you want, you're welcome to rebuild them again, perhaps with a few modifications to make them even better. The point is, Minecraft is a sandbox game of creation. Worlds are meant to be reset every once in a while so you can feel a sense of accomplishment yet again and go forth into that unknown and make your mark on the world for all to see. We aren't throwing away the past, we are embracing it, and improving upon it with new ideas and experience. Don't think of this in a negative way, just imagine the possibilities. I'm looking forward to new innovation and to see how creative our players can be.

 

Reset Thoughts.​

• My few thoughts on resets mostly revolve around the entire idea of Minecraft. Minecraft is a game about survival, you need to build a base to survive the night, and collect resources to survive the dangerous world. If we only ever stayed at one point in time for the entire game its self, it would not be surviving, because a large portion of the player base is past surviving by now. Personally I have just finished a HUGE project, and don't want to lost it, but I also embrace the idea of a reset because I know how much it will help the server. Just like what @Jerekul said, it brings in new, old, and many more players. This means more people to your town, more friendly long lost faces, and just a better expanding community.
• Here are a few drawbacks for a reset:

1. Any new players that did not know about the new reset, might be a little mad, or someone who recently bought something such as McMMO tokens, or a new rank (They would not get the diamond and Monaayyyy)
2. A few old players that have sunk their very existence into the server, and uber-large builds, would probably also throw a fit about losing their things. ( All I have to say is check out /server creative)
3. The server would lag SO BADLY for the first few days, as the pit, nether, end, and over world are created, that it might discourage players to even play.

• Here are some reasons to go for a reset:

1. As I earlier mentioned, it would bring long lost faces back to the server, we would be able to meet more amazing people that love the things we do, and it would just increase the population of the wonderful AEM Survival community.
2. If you are not a donor rank, it might temp you to donate (Weather it is good or bad, I think good)
3. The Minecraft world would be able to be 1.8 generated, with all kinds of new cool things, such as water temples, and other awesome 1.8 generation stuff.
4. A new world, is like a new you. If you were anti-social before, now you could join a town, lead a town, or even dominate over any town, with friends, companions, and co-workers.
5. A new server reset would maybe encourage a new adventure, or misadventure...

• A few things to mention about a reset:

1. If it is decided to do a reset, please give around 30-20 days of notice, for players that don't play too often.
2. If anyone has donated within 14 days, or maybe more, give them the things they would normally get, such as the money, diamonds, McMMO tokens and things such as.
3. If the map is reset, add a new cool feature, like a good one would be land protection, maybe one that makes it where you can only protect a certain amount of land (Like 400 x 400) and it costs money to even claim the land (So new players don't claim random stuff)
4. Maybe add a free town to join, with no tax, no price to live in, but you can only join once, for a maximum of 30 real days ( or more, or less ) this way new players have a secure place to build while they try to start off.

OK, I used to bark up every MC tree when I heard tell of any reset where I play, but now fully understand the benefits that far out-way any build loss. With that said all I ask is that we get a clear, precise date when this will happen and of course information regarding our wallet. I have close to 40K which took me damn near the life of this world reset, so may cry louder about any one suggesting we lose that as well.

Again what ever staff decides I will abide by, but plz consider leaving us our money at the very least. Starting as a noob is never fun and should only be for those who have never played here, in my opinion. Not our fault they came late to the party, lol :rolleyes:

Anyhow thx for having such an awesome place for us to play and share our time with friends and family.... Peace o_O

 

I personally thing that your wrong on a few fronts.​

• Firstly, the fact that you refer the fact that a player is new, as "not our fault they came late to the party..." Technically speaking you came late to a party too, everyone is a "Noob" at first.
• Secondly, the fact that you say that starting as a "noob" is never fun, it kind of counterfeits one of the large points of a reset. To reset all your things, balance, mcmmo, and the entire world. If they didn't reset the balance, it would be a little unfair as everyone doesn't start new, which is a bit point.
• Thirdly, if they didn't keep the wallet or balance, then people would complain about their mcmmo, and it would be unfair to only not reset one thing, then another thing, and another. If they let one part be not reset, then it could be a problem. Also people would just sell everything they have, and the start of the next server's economy would be so messed up...

 

Lets not start any criticism regarding postings. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion and should only be reviewed and replied to by staff. My position and/or comments regarding any and all aspects of a reset are simply my thoughts on it and nothing more.

Please lets all remain calm and friendly during this difficult time, lashing out at one another will not change the fact that the decision rests solely on staffs concerns and conclusions.

I do apologize to you or anyone else that disagrees with my view of things, but please remember we all come from different perspectives, lets try to respect that or staff will quickly mute this topic and delete our comments.

Peace, Pottsa19... In the end we are all in this together....

 

Reset to get rid of all the abandoned towns there are in Survival.

 

I'm sorry if I came out a little rude, I am, to be honest, half asleep. I apologize I usually try not to be rude to people.

 

Ok redo... am all for reset if it fixes issues and we get new blocks that came with update... (without having to make them).

My Ideas on Change: o_O

On PVP area what I would like changed if possible and if we are allowed to harvest end stones, is to have the PVP area clearly marked so we don't stumble upon it. Or have a sign that tells rule = PVP only allowed if both parties consent and not just that someone attacks you unprovoked.

On Portraits, if possible to fix it so "clear lag" does not take them.

On Towny, fixing the glitch that sets your town bank balance down to $25, that one is a biggie on my end. At least it is now, think maybe on reset will not do a shop, but dunno, will see.

Finally: on having to lose what we have gathered financially am fine with it, but what about on ranks can we get that reset, is that not fair? It would be as if day one = noob = nothing (fend for self) day two = pay real cash for rank (fend for self but with an extra boost).

Makes sense to me, hope it makes sense to you... Peace....

 

It is fine pottsa19, we are all a little overworked from playing long hours and scared to hear such news, but remember this post was put here for us to all express our concerns regarding all issues on survival (reset being one of them). I don't think even that a reset has been decided on yet, so for those opposed to it, there is still hope... if that helps... thx and apology accepted... o_O

 

I understand what you are all talking but, we can't really just reset survival every time we have an update its kind gong to get annoying, But builds would be able to be saved as they can be copied to a different world then Copied back. Because all I wish to be saved is my Shop, and warp location, these are what I care dearly the Most about and do not wish to lose.


Or..... I know this is going to get knocked back but under the super vision of Staff they allow people to rebuild their most dear creation, by Staff providing the Resources or something like that, I would agree to rebuilding if I am provided the Materials or Power to do so, Sorry for this Suggestion I know its just an Idea

 

Will you lose your MCMMO levels aswell?

 

yes Dutch I am sure

 

I had no clue skyblock had either an end or a nether Pit... where are these located?

 

It's not like they're resetting survival everything theres a glitch, its been over a year since the last reset, (according to Jerekul's post). This glitch has been going on for a very long time and its getting hard for town owners to continuously reimburse their towns. A reset to the survival world will give us all a new start to work our ways back up again. Personally I think a reset would be a great thing for both old players and new ones.

 

Would our balance be cleared as well?

 

I think so speed

 

I am not a fan of this idea. Sorry about that. But if nations kept battling, they would keep getting destroyed, leaving ruins everywhere.

 

mhm and survival is supposed to be raid free. its not fair if u lose in pvp and lose every single item u have everywhere

 

I have an end pit idea. If ops have world edit,they can copy the main end isalnd and paste it somewhere else in the end pit. So at the end of the month, they just have to delete the pit end island, and copy and paste a new one. That way people can get end stone easier.

Anothr idea. I think there should be a server shop. Like, /warp shop , so people can buy stuff if other place dont have it.

Another idea. If mob arena comes back up, everyone can remove their grinders. That would reduce lag alot. Why would we need grinders if there is a mob arena?

Another idea. Promoting someone every month. Now this would only be for people with Vip Rank+ (or whatever) but where someone is Co-Mayor of a server town, that would entice people toncome to aem cause "i can become co-mayor? I wanna join that server!"

Another idea. Special rooms for certian ranks. /warp trusted, /warp vip, /warp supporter, etc. Where ranked people can visit a room where they can go to learn secrets about the server.

Another idea.
