You know how long I spent on selling ebooks to get me to my bal where I can spend money as I wish to complete projects and afford warps for all of the server to enjoy. I have made most of my farms free because I can afford to, for those less wealthy or new players. And I do not think a eco reset will change the prices of say diamonds. Players will build their shops in the new world in consideration of the old prices unless the server shop mentioned buys diamonds.

It's perfectly fair since everyone loses their stuff too, not just you. Does it suck? Yes. But what sucks even more is both the ridiculous effort it takes to get anywhere in this eco, and also the lack thereof. With the server shop, not only will it set price floors and price ceilings for the WHOLE eco by selling and buying only common, cheap goods, it'll also set a dire frame of reference between work and money that has yet to exist on the server. Guess what? All your money is worthless currently. Why keep a lot of useless money when instead we can have a fresh reset and have lots of useful money to spend? Cash flow and the circulation of currency is extremely important.

Yes I do want to keep my builds, and people should too. I value my builds and others' of the same proportion. I know people do not like building guardian and iron farms. I know people do not like to see their efforts wasted. Is it a promise of the staff team that a reset WILL solve the most fundamental issues of the server? Is a reset going to make hoppers put items into chest carts, stop redstone circuits breaking randomely upon loading, stop horses from freezing under pstones or disappearing when warping, or make LWC compatible with pstone? 

Also talking about resetting everything, and being fair in not carrying over items and bal. Is it fair that /fly gives VIP an advantage in claiming most of the ocean monuments, get to a roofed forest, raid lots of nether fortresses and claiming all the blaze spawners and hold them for sale later, find strong hold after strong hold because they can fly over ocean?

To address both of your concerns, we have already thought of this. We have a comprehensive plan that isn't currently on here since frost wanted to keep it short. But it does include eliminating fly for the first couple weeks to a month to give everyone a fair shot. We aren't unfair. As for Jelly's complaints, yes this will fix a lot of issues or atleast make them less pronounced. Another thing that ISN'T mentioned is a reset means an upgrade to a new server with a faster CPU and nearly a terrabyte of SSD space, compared to our current 256gb one that caused all our plugins to crash. We'll also be replacing many of our plugins in favor of other ones, such as pstones with grief protection, etc.

100

Wait, so if players have bought in-game money or the VIp3 who gets a 200$ boost; will that be gone or do players that bought extra money get that extra money back? cuz if we're resetting it would make sense to give it back.

If you've bought it and spent it then I don't particularly see a reason to give it back. If you buy currency elsewhere and something changes to the game they dont just give it all back.

That being said, if players complain we've already considered letting people show a proof of purchase to receive the currency again on the new map.

Or have the Brits only record how many people want to exit EU. Or only count how many people vote for Romney. I will wait for another update by Mojang. My other offer is a gradual cleanup of the server where players identify old abandoned builds or farms, pulsing redstone, or anything that have no apparent purpose and gradually make staff roll it back. That was exactly what I did with end farms. My solution would be patching the server up instead of resetting it, that is part of option 1. I do not think a reset is necessary to address the issues.

As it stands, I'm playing single-player and another server since there's no point playing Hometown when anything I do from here on will likely be deleted. What's the time frame on any changes being made?
