    Since so many of you took a notion and ran with it despite the fact that no one actually said it was happening, it would suggest to me that there's a desire to reset the vanilla world (it also allows an opportunity to patch up to 1.7.8 maybe?).

    I think we can all agree that we'd rather not have an amplified map, but it was fun to play on for a change.

    Is it time to reset the vanilla map? 14 votes

    I voted yes, and yeah let's definitely not do amplified again. I guess we had to try it out once, but once is enough. It makes so much of the map un-usable for pretty much anything.

    Also when we do the reset, can we use a seed where there's a good few different biomes within easy reach? I'd be happy to test a few out if nobody else wants to

    Yeah no kidding! I'm pretty certain Rachel Ann, Rashers, Oni, Doddly, Welchy and me all definitely want the reset, but there's only three votes for it :pac:

    I might also suggest a new map have a Spawn Town like there was on an earlier map. This time there is some amazing construction going on, way out in the middle of nowhere where no-one knows it's happening. :cool:

    There are usually spawn towns, not like a pre-generated village, but most of the time, that a new map is put up, people tend to set up quite close together. The amplified map this time kinda messed that up

    The other issue(s) is that larger projects sometimes upset the neighbours and competition for resources tends to limit the scope of spawn builds :/ These factors have a habit of inevitably driving people away from spawn even on a normal Bukkit server :o

    Yea, it was way too difficult to build a spawn town on the amplified map, combined with a lack of Lockette to be able to keep stuff safely stashed meant everyone was sorta quick to separate on this map. I'd suggest that if no one was acting the muppet, that's a much reduced concern..

    Well since we've seen a good few more "Yes" additions, shall we pick a reset date?

    Might as well make it soon, I doubt people will play much when there's a reset coming.

    Yea, something random, don't tell anyone what it is :D Also, check that it's a sorta daycent spawning area in terms of starting resources - trees mostly I guess to begin.

    Just saw this thread. I voted no because my build is not finished, but if the people want a reset then I say give it to them. I am but a lowly newcomer after all.

    So how long did that server last? I hope the next one is up for longer because it doesn't look like much got built on the current one.

    Pompous: Quite a lot got built on the other map if you look at the dynmap, but the amplified did mean most of it was spread out, unlike most of the old maps. Why don't you finish it off tonight/tomorrow and take lots of pics? :P

    Morag: Won't know until tomorrow, gotta check plugin compatibility etc. Could very well be the same version it is right now...or somewhere else in the region of 1.7.2-onwards.

    Shim: But of course, my liege. It shall be done...

    Yeah I thought the amplification had something to do with alright. I made it into a big spire. It's not worth taking pics of, but at least it's not unfinished. I'm happy enough to start a new map. What is the dynmap link for this 'other map'?

    Yeah it would have taken forever. Especially at the rate I design things. I just made it into a big ugly spire instead. It may be ugly but at least it's something.
