Decided Against reset infinity

The biggest problem with doing what Sand suggested is that, while it would be cool to build in abandoned bases, it goes against MyM's rules. Anything player built is to be left untouched, so players would have to make a ticket every time they wished to build in an abandoned area, just to get permission to be there.

 

You are welcome to argue against the rules, but my point still stands; you would need to argue for those rules to be changed before making a stand for the original suggestion, which was my whole point in the first place.

As for this, it has nothing to do with MyM being "resistant to changes and thinking outside of the box," but plays more to your second sentence, 'big players.' It is because we are a big player, mainly because of the size of the playerbase, that we most likely couldn't afford to change these rules. It is a sad truth, but with that many people, something is undoubtedly going to go wrong, which is why these rules are in place: for a standard on which players can understand their boundaries.

Please understand that we are not resistant to change; the staff want players to have an enjoyable place to go after a long day (or a short one). As I said, any changes you feel need to be made can be, most preferably under the suggestions page on the forum. In any case, it was decided against, so I'll lock this thread, as further replies are no longer necessary.

Happy gaming, and as Lir said in TWoM, don't forget to love each other! (I loved that, I might be using it in all of my posts)

 

We would need to modify the rules for this, which, honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing some discussion on. Strictly for the bases, but we would probably have to work out some changes, especially with the ability to restore bases. Ones that a player has built, then relocated I could see working well for that, since the player who built it is intentionally abandoning it, while stripping it of valuables.

Now that being said that isn't really applicable to why this thread was made, and the mass destruction of overworld on Infinity. Abandoned bases are one thing. They look cool, add an almost lore like thing to the server, but what we have seen, and often see, especially on infinity, is people taking staff of power/terra shatterer to the overworld leaving LARGE amounts of grief with 9x9 to 15x15 tunnels and square holes all over the place. These are unsightly, in my opinion, and ruin the game in a less than fun way for players to build around.

We also get specific requests from players, so it's not just us going on to clean these up, it is also often prompted by a player asking us to clean up a mess that someone else made.

TLDR: I wouldn't be against leaving abandoned bases, with machines removed, but there is a lot that would need to be discussed before that could be implemented
