This is NOT a discussion about wiping chests.

This is about being able to mark your private realms for wipe on a per realm basis prior to the 1.7 release. This will allow the land in locations you already own to represent the biome they will be put in and get all the new blocks, terrain generation, etc.


My personal reason for wanting this is that I have a ton of empty land that has been a failed megabuild like 5-6 times now. Everyone always backs out or ended up banned.
I want to keep a chunk of my realms for one of my builds in progress but reset the rest to allow for natural builds in the new landscape.

Disband them.

Seriously, this seems like an overcomplicated solution to a simple problem.

What's this? A suggestion involving map wipes that doesn't force players to lose things they'd rather keep?

Not really... If people own spawn realms which kroxic owns a lot and they want them wiped without someone else buying them this is helpful. Plus not every player wants to buy back the same realm and loose 10% of the value.

Someone will just buy it before the wipe then i lose the realm, its value, and it doesnt get wiped. Don't see this as a viable solution. There has also been no mention of what the wipe rollout would be so planning for it isnt possible based on current knowledge.


I also don't see how this is "overcomplicated"
The script scans for public realms... now it scans for public with a flag.
Heck, dont even change the code. Just scan for all realms with the the MOTD of 1.7 WIPE and treat them like public land. Just a simple addition to the realm scanner for the wipe.

Kroxic is absolutely right. There are many people for whom disbanding realms is not viable because their neighbours would immediately snaffle them up, which would result in them losing ownership and the realm not being wiped anyway. It is a simple problem with a simple solution as you say, but that solution is not just disbanding realms prior to the wipe.

The server will benefit from as much of the map being regenerated to 1.7 as possible, as it will generate new terrain to explore and minimise the number of transition boundaries to existing terrain. It therefore makes sense to make it easy for players to mark their realms for wiping, rather than discourage them from doing so.

+1 and double thumbs up from me

That makes sense, I guess. I'm just a bit concerned about Intelli's workload.

+1, I guess. It doesn't seem too difficult.

Disband them.

if i would just sell my realms i'd like to reset, i would lose 12 realms as TAX.

thats more realms than others ever will posess and i'm not willing to lose them just like that.

Technically invalid, as the 1.7 wipe hasn't been confirmed/announced yet.

[Tee]

Technically invalid

Hopefully the community feedback is valuable nonetheless
