The server is hosted in the UK, This is a Webbcraft tradition.

No hurricane, No glitch, no hackers brought down the server.

We know what happened and we're working on fixing the issue.
The server will be reopened by the weekend.

Basically all the server data has been deleted or transferred somewhere by the host and I contacted them yesterday but they still haven't provided any meaningful explanation as to why.
The latest backup I have is from over a month ago (30th of August 2016) so if the server is to reopen, I want to know what everyone would prefer: continuing from the backup with the past month of changes being like they never happened, or starting a new map.

I say go total map reset. I joined about a month ago, so everything I have built will be reset anyway. Might as well go full reset. It will clear land of inactive factions, making room for new ones.

Full map reset would be ok. But i have to say no as i and many other players have hours of work on this map already... Mainly for my shop and my farms. But if it does come to a full map reset. I think it should be a full one that deletes all the warps to clear them up as you are limited to what you can call a warp.

For only being on this server for a month, I already have almost 350 hours put into it spent building stuff. I have built a huge realistic looking city that spans about 20 chunks and a huge mansion. I really wish that they could fix the server so I (And everyone else) wouldn't lose stuff, but I would be fine with a total map reset. Yeah, I'm sad that I will lose everything, but that just means now I can build something even better. A map reset also might help the server's economy a bit. Clearing warps would also be a good thing to do.

I would say go back to the latest backup, but either option i am fine with.

Full reset.




Because I don't care about my hours of free time put into the current map, fuck it.

Honestly, a map reset may actually be a good thing. The warps are INSANE, (Like 7,000 last time I checked) and the 2,000x2,000 area around spawn was cluttered and destroyed. I personally vote total reset.

If the server resets again I'm outta here. And what type of question is that luigi? A month back, or everything back? Obviously a month back, anyone that wants another full map reset is fucked in the head.

a map reset doesn't clear the warps,as far as history goes

- Reset the map.
- Clear the Warps
- Good chance to install some plugins
- Pure survival
- Economy enhancements and challenges (Xario has a good thread going on this already - I think there are actually two). Some things like market monopolies over resources is killing the little guy's chances. I realize it's a tough sell. What does a donator get for giving their hard earned money? But some of those commands are killing anyone's chances of making an honest buck. Increasing membership is a hard road when they get frustrated and leave after a few weeks of not making any headway.

I think we should do a reset of absolutely everything besides ranks. By absolutely everything I mean warps, map, inventories, balance, etc

I am disappointed to hear that the server is not backed up more often than that. I really made some great progress in the last month alone. Thankfully that progress has tuaght me a lot about how to do my projects even better than before. Unfortunately in this situation, resetting the map and starting it back from a month ago are essentially the same thing for me. Anyway, since it was likely reset and I have had time to think about it, I'm not sure how often I will be playing anymore since I am going to be moving this month, and I was already playing too much as it was before.

-Server reset good to clear all:Warps,inventory,land and new area.
Will be fine by me BUT as long as it doesn't cause players to leave.The server needs more players to keep it going any less and then we are in trouble.Also we should be able to keep commands like. Fly,ext,home,top. Those are the only ones I use just for building and flying away from lava when u have Dias.....which I never get.

Sort of adding on to what Buddy said, I think donor ranks shouldn't change. I think the map and warps need wiped, but ranks stay the same.

no matter how many world resets you have luigi is too lazy to clear the warps folder. The warps have been around for years some are like 2 years old its dumb

I'd say please try to get the world back from the host. Get on their asses about it, this isn't normal and shouldn't happen! Change hosts if nessecary

I agree with the Mario, if a host is going to mess up this badly, the server should move to a better host.

I would have moved to a different host but they offered me 4 months free hosting to compensate for the loss.
