I saw the server skipping a save recently. Does that mean the last backup for realms has been made?

Map Wipe
Make 11.11.11 the final version, barring major terrain update after that date. It will give us the best of both worlds - everyone gets to keep their stuff, and we get to see the new stuff as well. In fact, this may even be a driving force for older players to eventually abandon their spawn empires to the noobs and head out into the wilderness for fresh resources and untouched land.

I propose an alternative strategy for future transitions.
Allow users to register their realm for reset.....WITHOUT selling it.

Kroxic is onto something there. A possible (easily implemented) mechanic would be to set your realms public if you want them wiped. (or keep them private if you don't) Who cares if it gets griefed when its about to be wiped anyhow?

Subway
I don't see the issue here. It took me a few hours to make a 500 block long section of subway tunnel (with floor/wall/ceiling) and I only had one guy helping me. Since the my future spawn (fingers crossed) has gotten 3 more players to agree to help me dig subway. When multiple spawns goes live I expect my team of 5 can (and will) rapidly double and redouble in number. I expect to be able to build 2000 blocks of tunnel in an afternoon. Heck, you don't hear the old players crying about losing the road that runs from one end of the north to the other.

Make the map permanent after 11/11/11

Make an entire new map, no realms saved, no rc saved, everyone back from scratch etc.

Agreed.

A complete map wipe is a horrible idea. Why would you even want that? You want fresh land? Go out in the wilderness. You want spawn realms? Go create some. The groups that are wealthier than you now would just end up wealthier than you again. This just seems like people trying to bring others down.

You idiot, we are the wealthiest group.

That comment probably wasn't aimed at you specifically, I'm afraid you're not the centre of the universe.

If there is a complete wipe on release why would we bother building massive cities now if they'll be wiped after a couple of weeks anyway?

I'd be very inclined to take a break from minerealm until final release if all the effort I put in until release is going to be wiped away.

I think he just wanted to know the reasons as to why you want a complete reset, as would I. Actually, I think a complete reset is ridiculous under some circumstances. If you want a reset, then just give all your realm credits to the server, drop all of your items, and go off into the wilderness with all the other people who want a complete reset. Unless you are implying it is more satisfying to see everyone reset "with" you, this should work right?

Don't assume, child, that I know anything about you or care to.

Let's cut out the petty bickering and play nice.
