New map after 1.8

So as you probably heard, 1.8 is scheduled to come around September. Included in 1.8 is all of the following, all which relate to this post:
-NPC Villages
-New biomes and biome coding
-Huge mushrooms
-New tweaks to the world generation
-30+ more things that don't relate to this post (be excited...very excited)

Which got me thinking, "Will I be able to experience all of the above with this great server and it's community?" Obviously, having that will require a new map. Would there be a new map once 1.8 comes out or will be using the same old map? You've already mentioned there being enough towns, ImDeity, so this could be a chance to have that all started over, along with a fresh map. Our current map is indeed getting filled up and explored pretty much completely, so a new map could also offer some more exploration for the members, and with it being the Adventure update, I can't say that would be a bad idea.

Other ideas
A fellow Minecraftian by the name of Whisperduke suggested ImDeity and VV cubiod the towns and paste them onto the new map. Not too sure about this one, but I'm posting it here for good measure.


Thanks ImDeity,

Aha, I see. I guess around then I'll be spending unprecedented amounts of time in /go mine

 

I think we should only reset the miningworld. Many towns have worked hard on building and organizing the community. Large towns, like avalon, stalingrad, gaia, etc. have worked for months to expand. Even some small towns, belial, descend, etc. have taken months simply making room for the town. i would hate to see everyones work go in an instant.

 

i think best soultion would be to save every sing town in game and then just paste it at new map later..... i know too complicated... here is another idea maybe we ca only transfer all our stuffs ? like make new wolrd and we havae a time of 1 month to transfer all our stuffs from this wolrd where we are now and after month u just close this map and we cntinue on new one ?

 

Veeeeeeery excited @ Deity's first line of post =D

Can't wait for a map reset, I vote that we start over completely.

Money wise and town wise.

 

I don't mind the idea of a map reset even tough i need to take a butload of screenshots before it does.

I'd vote for keeping the money and mcmmo stats tough.

 

Stats I vote we keep (they're hard)

But i vote for a money reset, cause the true server players will donate to get more cash

 

I would say keep stats and money.
Just because.

 

I agree with Riku that the money should be reset. It would allow the economy to reset along with the map. Skills could be kept as to set older players apart from/slightly ahead of someone who just joins shortly after the reset. This way, most of the server is reset and dedicated players will still have a bit of a basis to continue off of from the work they put in on the previous map.

 

The great deity apocalypse was horrible at first, but i remeber being the FIRST person (for those who know what i mean, notice the emphasis?) to destroy and place a block on the new map, because we spawn in a desert, so i destroyed and replaced a sand block =P

But a map reset would be pretty fun, hard, but i'd get over it very very quickly.

 

sriusly guys i dont understand you reset maps and money?? what is the point of starting game all over again i mean i wouldnt like to get all my diamonds and ores and materials all over again i think we should somehow transfer our stuffs like we transfer all our stuffs in some huge building on miningworld and then from miningworld we transfer them into our new reseted map tht is what i would like at least.

 

I am definitely not happy to hear i would have to rebuild everything for what seems to be no aperant reason.
With a buggy mining world in place there will never be a lack of ores and the main reason that i can see for a map reset is removed.

 

That seems like a good idea smcallah.

And to people saying "No map reset! All the big town's hard work will be gone!" I say, do you really not get bored of the map after a while? It'll be in November, which is still months away from right now, but you really want this map still?It's practically filled to the brim with buildings, old town ruins, and live towns. I can't go on an adventure into the wild without running into some building, a dirt shack or some smooth stone castle with thrones and a giant library (you know who you are ). Having a new main world will be exciting to explore! Do you not like exploring?

 

I think a map reset would be a great idea. As time goes by, the map gets worn out (take a look at the live map), so I think it would be great to have a fresh start. And of course, we are all tired of the crappy old map

 

My big reason to not want the current map gone is, like other people said, all my hard work. I live alone, so everything I've done, I've done alone. My current setup involved multiple weeks of building, leveling hills and mountains, etc., and it's still not done yet. I really want to keep my buildings in some capacity.
