This is gold game , we deserve a new gold environment to start a new game, a new challenge.

And the requirement for people to smooth out borders between their realms and new wiped land fixes that issue.

Plus, the map's never going to look completely perfectly smoothed together unless it's illegal to alter surface terrain or build walls.

I prefer the map mainly stay as-is, with only lag-mongering junk wiped. For all the people who want the map 'fresh', there are as many people whose months of work is being nuked against their will. Full map wipes are unpleasant.

The reason is so we all get an equal chance at a fresh start, I personally HATE the chopped up realms and splits in the terrain.

I've played here for a year. Been though every wipe. We rebuilt.

Before, wipes were the inevitable, as they should be. A necessary end. We lost everything, but in return were given the opportunity to began anew. Find better surroundings, make different decisions, explore a landscape that was completely fresh and unexplored.

Also, "great and terrible tragedy" is an entire city being bombed. A map wipe in a game is a minor inconvenience that you don't notice after a couple of weeks.

nkirby, along with the redstone wipe, it is also suggested that redstone torches will cost 50cr per placement. Also, you're in the wrong thread for this argument.

Please take the time to read this post in an unbiased manner, if you'll only ever read this one by me.

I've been here since Minerealm 1.0, the very first Survival map, where the previous admins Yuushi and Lios reigned. In 1.0, we built many great cities, homes, and places. From the far desert city of Tinderbox, to the great walled city of Frogtown, beyond the borderless no mans land of great and hidden empires, we built, and we loved to build. We never considered the possibility of a map wipe, we simply loved everything so much.

Yet I logged on one evening to be in a new world.

It would become 1.2, after some form of map corruption rendered our cities, our homes, our entire map worthless. So we started over, without choice and with aimless abandon we built again. Deep down we knew it wouldn't be permanent, but we built again. We had none of this realm protection. We barely had PVP. Our defenses were our ingenuity and our ability to design clever traps and hide our chests well, and repair damage from any griefers who chose to steal our things.

I don't really remember the specifics of the 1.0 era after the original map was torn into digital dust. I built a great fortress into a mountain, where Cheez99, bcw81, and others lived alongside myself. We named it Cliffhanger, and it was a glorious land we believed safe.

Safe, but unprotected, and sadly, erased.

Cheez and I left for a while, following Yuushi and Lios to their server after learning its location. I lost faith in Intelli at the time, not understanding the drama that unfolded. I appreciate the things he did now, but I had no idea then, and simply walked away.

We ended up back here after I heard Minerealm had large area protection. We were constantly griefed at Yuushi's server, and we were almost sick of Minecraft. We returned in awe, and fell in love with Minerealm again.

It was the towards the middle of 2.0 It was a new era. A new world.

Our homes and cities were gone again, but we forged ahead, and created New Tinderbox. Alexandria. Willowside.

Cities we'll never see again, but will have a fondness for in our memories. There's many things from 2.0 I'd love to see again. From the great walls of Terranobyl, to the cratered realms of Novasbiscuit, there's a world I somewhat miss.

Yet I regret nothing in moving on into 3.0.

It allowed me to begin again, to start anew, and build new empires. I moved on from 1.0, from 2.0, and now I've moved on mostly from this 3.0/4.0 mashup. I've built empires in this land, I've seen cities and realms toppled, and I've sold all of my original realms. I bought the stronghold in an attempt to start with new area, yet it was crammed in the middle of several old realms.

Overall, while it can be sad to see our vast cities and projects be extinguished in seconds by Intelli, it's truly worth it. Every wipe has brought on a truly new world. A brave new world. Untouched, unexplored, and ripe for the picking.

I hope everyone will take this to heart. It's one of the few things I'll take the time to write about.

I urge you to join me in the idea of seeing a new world, and let's explore it together with eyes wide open.
