Last time this happened it drove players to either leave or for a few, start a new server. To me, it seems that the people who are affected the most are the people who have been playing casually because, to me, when the last reset happened I lost a lot of interest in the game for a while. I had just finished a large build and getting it taken away after 6 months of steady building made me lose all desire to return to HT for quite a while. I would be eager for HT not to repeat the reset, especially when it hasn't even been that long since the last one.
As to Shisuan's comment about having more builds than most, I'd agree that you probably do, but I imagine that has something to do with the time you are able to dedicate to the server (not insulting, pls dont hate). I wouldn't call you a casual player of the server, obviously an admin needs to not be, but you have a drive that people who come on once in a while to chat and work slowly on projects don't have. I think it's these people who would be hit the most by the reset, and who would probably be the ones the server would lose ( Like how wiseman738's wiseminster, which im fairly confident rivals all your builds, was built over a long time by a lot of people. When the server reset, he left. As did other people)
Well, y'know, thats just, like, my opinion, man. But yeah, i think HT would lose a few people who maybe not everyone would miss, but its a worry of mine.
This is why I'm hoping, if a reset happens, that a means will be provided to move some builds over to the new map. I understand being attached to builds you've sunk a lot of work into. There are a few I'd very much like to keep myself, if possible.
As Frost noted, though, this is stil an unofficial discussion and there are currently no actual plans to reset. But it's good to learn what people think about it and solicit ideas for how to proceed, so we can be as prepared as possible if circumstances do force us to go that direction.
