Updating to 1.13 I think would be a good idea, because like it has been said, we're losing a lot of potential new players due to being "behind the times". How can we grow if we can't move forward? I wonder though if those gains will outweigh the losses of current players that will leave the server if the map is reset. Not that the map would even be truly lost, as we can see the from the last time the map was reset, they kept the old map on the Old Hometown server, so I'm sure they could do that again.
I'm ambivalent about a reset, personally. The way I see it, my builds aren't permanent anyways. I don't come on Minecraft with the notion that the map will never be erased at one point or another, so what does it matter to me if it's now, or in a few years? Yes I'm in the middle of my latest, largest build yet, but tbh, there's a block in 1.13 that I needed for it and a whole lot more quartz than I'm able to find easily, so a fresh 1.13 would be helpful to start over in. We all know how crowded the current map is anyways, and how many "abandoned" shacks and such there are, so a fresh map would be nice. If someone really wanted to keep their builds that bad, they could always save it in schematica and rebuild it on the new map.
With concern to the players whose computers can't handle 1.13, all the more reason to save the old map on Old Hometown instead, so they can still play there. I'm sure their friends will still play with them on the old server sometimes, and still have the opportunity to play 1.13 on the current server other times, best of both worlds!
As far as the issue of plugins is involved, I'm sure they won't update if they don't at least have protection from grief. Other than that.. I mean I joined this server because it's "vanilla" (semi-vanilla) so I'm also ambivalent about most of the other plugins anyways. I know some of us have paid for access to some of them, but I'm sure that staff would make up for it one way or another. Like I said before, nothing on Minecraft is eternally permanent anyways, it's just a fun game folks
I'm big on screenshots, so I've got my memories and I'm good with whatever!
