I was just thinking...

What would everyone say to a new map? We'd keep our levels (and money?), but a new world. This time, make the block limit a lot smaller, 1000 in each direction, making scouting the area actually feasible. Right now, even with the block limit, you can still just hide in a corner of the world. Plus, we can expand if needed. It just seems like a lot of people are bored. This could give us an opportunity to give newbs a chance to get into the server, and give everyone an actual war again. Right now most people aren't recruiting. We can't change their policies, but the thing is, anyone new will probably be instantly swarmed by fully armored soldiers just when they set up base. So let's change this by giving everyone a more level playing field for a while, and hopefully we'll end up with more "big" factions, and there'll be a place for newbs.

I think this would be awesome,
but if there will be a new map say it atleast two days before so people know what to bring etc.

Why not just keep skills and levels though? If we could bring our 10 stacks of diamond, it kinda defeats the purpose.

a huge asset to mining is raising your mining level. if we started a new map, those with higher levels would gather more resources than others and still be at an advantage.

1000 each way is a bit small. maybe halve the map to 2000 each way (which would be 25% of the total land area). i'd prefer a smaller map, but then you have fewer resources available, and people love to bitch about small maps, despite me preferring it due to more PvP...

i'll watch this thread. it depends what the people of truforge want.

I've had no opposition to new map so far, most people seem to want a new map.

I wholeheartedly support this idea. At the moment it is far too easy for factions to set up a base thousands of blocks away from everything and chill. Even if a base is discovered, it takes 15 minutes to run there, and if you get killed there - guess what, you have to walk all the way over there again!

The limited resources would be interesting. Eventually, diamond would start to run out, prices would increase and eventually we'd all be fighting with stone swords, though I dare say the map may have to be restarted before that point due to the tnt craters errywhere.

tl;dr: new world plicks. Myself im not so bothered about keeping levels, but whatever.

I think it would be cool with a new map with borders of 2500,
but to make things fair we should reset all skills, but keep the hero lvl's.

2500x2500 sounds good (5000x5000 is still far too big). Maybe compromise and say 1500 in each direction?

I think we should keep mcmmo levels, because without diamond finding(seems to be disabled on this server), there isn't a massive edge. And it's nice to think that even if the world changes, your skills (and heroes levels) don't just disappear. If anything, only reset the mining levels. They're the ones that give you the massive edge, all the rest give you small perks or alternative methods of gaining items.

I think the server should implement beginner kits,
You get a full set off Stone tools, and maybe some leather armor
so they can atleast survive 2 mc days without getting killed by other players.

Yeah, some sort of beginner help would be nice.

First thing though is this- For the first first day or two, there will be barely any pvp / raiding. Everyone will be underground mining. This will just be extreme boredom for a lot of people. That is why we should be able to keep a little bit of our spoils from THIS map.

P.S: I bet a lot of people will be mad if everything but the Hero levels get reset.

If you think that, go raid the miners. The first day or two is nothing, what goes on at the moment is almost constant boredom with the occasional kill or my suicide. I say we should keep mcmmo levels and heroes levels. I've had few objections to that, as long as donators re-get their stuff (which should be done).

The first day or two is an interesting time for raiding. Everyone's paranoid about being attacked, or is mining. Occasionally, there's someone actually there to raid. Nice things can start this way. Quests for revenge, massive anti <name> factions formed etc. It's happened a lot, in servers I play on at least.

Keep all the stats and make the map 4kx4k...

I say 2500x2500. The current is like 3k or 3.5k, and that's just a little too big for interaction between bases directly to occur, in my opinion

I agree with 2500x2500

FYI: current map is 8000x8000. No way in hell could you consistently scout that kinda size.

Its 8000 by 8000?! Thats huge! In that case, I think the map should be around 4 or 5k, no way 2.5 nvm what I said

old map now was -4000 to 4000 (8000 total)

this map is -2000 to 2000 so 4000 total.
