So a few days ago 1.9 came out, for some a blessing, for others a curse (not to the matter now). Now when we go and look at the server’s map, we see that it hasn’t reset in years, but instead of that the map was expanded. Now this is good, a larger map for a, I presume, growing server. None the less, the map we are on has been here for years and that means people have been building structures for years. If you don’t agree with this, go and venture out, and every chest/door/furnace you come across with, type /cinfo and right-click the door. Then do /seen username and you’ll see how long they have been gone
I’ve done this quest a few times now, and always I came with a percentage of: 80% of the people were gone above 5-… months, the (small) 20% were people who were/are still online in the previous 5 months.

Now a thing with 1.9 is that there are TWO enchantments that can’t be made by using the enchanting table, you have to find them in strongholds, desert/jungle temples. Now okay, frost walking isn’t maybe that great, but mending is (by gathering xp your items get restored). Without it, you force people to give all their money away to a /repair sign.
The end, the biggest change to 1.9. I personally would think that the end itself would just be completely reset, instead of just and expansion, as staff did with the overworld. If (and I speak from experience) you don’t use the new end-island boss fight structures, the enderdragon will not know what to do and basically glitch the whole thing out (really isn’t fun).
Yes, okay, you’ll just say: “so we have to wait until a next super-fight-thing, until we can go and explore the end-city dungeons.” Well not necessarily, if staff reset the end completely and make a new sort of end/hub structure, they can fit in an endgateway block into it (can be placed in the world by simple /setblock commands).

------------

So okay, by now you must have said: “But what will happen to all the stuff we have gathered?!?” Well I got a simple solution to that: 

1.      Everyone, who signs up, gets one chest/double chest of space in a structure thing (doesn’t actually matter what the place is, but has to be contained in a certain space)
2.      Once the final date has been reached the server gets reset, but staff first worldedits, or how they do it, the contained area into the new world, so everyone can access the stuff they brought with them, like OP tools, or tons of diamonds.
And okay, some will say: but I have too much stuff for just one chest. Well to them I say (maybe a bit harsh): Learn to see what you really need, don’t bring tons of cobble, because everyone just mines that up like it’s nothing, choose what’s really important to you, to bring to the other world.

Some of you might have said now: ”And what about all those crazy and magical project that we’ve all build, will they just fade into darkness?” Not really, staff can easily just publish the world-save to public, in all its glory as it now is. And yeah, some of us (even me) are now working on a project, but we can’t wait until everyone has finished theirs, because then another person starts another project, and so the circle will go on … So or you do it, or you just do it. I know, I know, but you’ll make wonderful things again. Plus, if they publish the map, you can easily just go to a place (if you saved cords) and see what you’ve build, or others.

------------

So I hope the ideas I put up here are good, and you agree with it.
If so, then we can only wait, until staff hears us
