Hey everyone I've had this idea since I joined the PvP for the first time. I was considering we reset the map so all the new players that we have been getting recently don't quit and go right to SMP because everyone is full diamond gear. Maybe a fresh start for everyone? I thought it would be good to have a map of 1500x1500 with spawn dead center of the map. This way everyone knows were the fighting area is. Maybe with the new spawn we have it so when you leave spawn you can't just run into protection as soon as your attacked. We also could take all the restrictions of spawn camping away by removing the run back into spawn? Maybe if enough people agree we can push for this map reset, nothing gets done without us sticky by sticking together!

What do you think about the rest of the post still?
I agree to a map reset. Speaking from a new player point (started pvp a few days ago). I had a lot of trouble staying alive collecting enough materials to even get underground to hide. Let alone finding a spot away from other players hideouts. Its hard for a new player to even hurt another player unless they have been undergound for weeks mining and collecting and enchanting gear. Even then its an uphill battle. If I wasnt up for a huge challange I would of just gone to smp and never played pvp. I think leveling the playing feild will give some new players who otherwise are only getting slaughtered, some true pvp. I love the idea of pvp its the ultimate survival but I personally believe that a map reset should be more of an occuring thing.
I wouldn't mind.
Btw i found out the new map maximum cords are 3000 by 3000. . thats a little too big. Especailly with the amount of people that play daily.
All you need to do is join a clan and they can help you. And bump on the reset. It's really old and really we need new places to make cover. Expanding the map doen't help at all. It'll be harder to find people. It's pvp, it needs to be smaller and have like an arena or something.
Reset the map, Not the people. I agree that the map is getting kinda full, and trashed. I can hardly walk anywhere without falling in random holes people have dug all over the place. That just needs a no tunneling straight down plugin or something. But reseting all the stuff people have would just be dumb. Kinda like a big middle finger to everyone who has worked really hard for all their stuff. There are always going to be new people joining, and there all always going to be people that have been there longer. The same situation would start occuring again within a week after reseting peoples inventories.
Jupiter, So basically Just have anyone get all their important crap before the reset? or reset all around users houses?
No new map becuase it whould of been a waste of my time and everyones on this server building/mineing and surviving and if there would to be ever a reset i would quit the pvp server
i agree with jup we keep our stuff but we have a new map
The biggest problem with a new map, is that it means there was no point in spending time creating and hiding a base. The map was expanded to allow for new people to have more room for mining and building bases, which takes care of the crowded problem.
well it wasnt expanded it was moved to a different part of the map and gotten larger so no new map but a new location
As mentioned, the spawn has been moved (copied) to another area further away and the border has been increased.
This decision was made so that people with builds who want to stay in their builds can do so.
Another option I am considering is building a portal inbetween the 2 spawns so that those who have bases at old spawn can easily get to the new spawn and back for battles etc.
I dont think i would like a reset
But I do think going from 1200 by 1200, to 6000 by 6000 is Super ridiculous.. for a pvp server.
Maybe 1800 to 1800, or possibly 2400 by 2400, but 6000 by 6000?
With the amount of people that play every day? Thats like placing 2 people in the state of new jersey with no other people and expecting them to find each other after the other has run off 3 weeks prior
before hand you guys were playing the size of road island so you got nj this time. lets see if texas is next on the list
Just expanding the map wont help because being to much room will make it impossible for people to find each other, I don't see why it's a big deal to lose something on a server when you could lose your stuff either way.
again you are in a different part of the map all togeather witch means the area is brand new
Expanding the map still causes more lag then needed on a pvp server.
again new area of the map that hasnt been touched at all and that new area got expanded so its a brand new area
So finding people is now impossible, which means the fighting isnt going to happen anymore
no it just means that there is more resources now
Want to fight? GO TO SPAWN! Isn't that how it works on this PvP server.

The spawn camping issue has been resolved with random spawns, that doesn't need to be discussed anymore.
