How many of you would like a Survival Wipe?

This is a topic I am torn on. I prefer to keep my Rickies. However, there is so much land claimed by towns that are sitting on thousands of Rickies, even with the daily tax increased, it'll be half a year or more before some of those inactive towns wipe away. I also only just got started on my town and would be more than willing to start again somewhere fresh and new. With inactive towns being wiped, there would be more space for the active players, and a wider variety of landscape to chose from.

If in the event that the polls come close, I would favor in the side of a SURVIVAL WIPE, even though currently my vote is against it.

I voted for a wipe, which oddly I wouldn't have done even 2 months ago...

One of the reasons that I like this server so much is that survival does NOT wipe, ever. This really changes the tone of the server so people - especially casual players like me - can take on very large-scale builds without fear of it getting demolished in some hardware cataclysm, a wipe, or a wipe associated with a version update.

However, builds become old... even the grandest builds can start to feel tired and slowly you start to ignore them. I love my bridges, but I would be okay with saying goodbye to them.

One of the best parts about Minecraft is those first few hours starting from scratch, where the survival element really means something. It really doesn't take long to become self-sustaining, but beyond the survival element, you have all new areas and geographies that are unclaimed. The landmasses and continents and flow of the map are different. Spawn is different.

One thing that Minecraft does so well is adapt to change. I have some new ideas for where I would take my builds in the future, and would have no problem doing this on a new map. I think whether RenMX wipes survival or not will really be a function of where the players are at: do most want a fresh start or are most in the middle of a big project? I would not want to wipe if even one regular player is in the middle of a big build they don't want to lose...

I don't think we will be wiping. Instead we are going to look at ways to allow people to start over in fresh land more easily. The recent towny expansion changes help people create outposts more cheaply and claim more land for their builds so hopefully people can choose to start over if that is what they want without us needing to wipe clear everyones builds.

what if you changed towny to remove towns if the mayor or maybe the mayor and vice mayor are inactive for 90 days? similar to how chest protection works

that would clear up a lot of space
