"Also new world makes the need of a resource world obsolete." -Jello
Isn't that kind of the point?
Can't say I know much of the inner workings of a server, but from what I'm seeing here it looks like our current plugin problems and lack of spawn rates will not be easily changed by simply continuing to add small changes. Our staff have been doing that this entire time and I'm still here complaining over half the plugins that function terribly. New plugins are hardly compatible with the older world we have now (You know, that world with all of our builds, memories, and efforts put into it over just months or multiple years). It's taken us three years to reach the 'crowding' point we are at now, and most of that is actually just from the more recent influx of new players in the last year or so. Although asking our staff to take time out of their life and personal enjoyment of the game to weed through all the inactive dirt huts or oversized farms is a possible way to reduce what lag we have, I can only think that is a rather inconsiderate duty to further burden these dedicated volunteers with.
We've been playing Option 1 for a long while now. Changing small things to try and improve the ever-dwindling game play. Moving spawn to a new world, asking our staff to spend more of their time rolling back logs that no longer exist, expanding the server yet again...just more small things to change. While there's no guarantee that doing these will really help any of the spawn rates or plugins, at the least we have a greater chance of all of our gameplay improving with an entire new world. Might even get back those Minigames we've been missing.
In any case, I'm seeing mostly what look to be relatively new players voting 1. With the exception of a couple Major Build makers. To you who are new, perhaps only just joined, do take into consideration that HomeTown has not had a reset in over two years, if ever. This is not a frequent thing as may happen on other servers. You just happened to join right as this event is going down. Think of the future of your building ability and economic possibilities. Like actually being able to make what we earn worth manure*. Option 2 looks like it's giving us creative to our current builds. Economy is so bleep that even those animal/mob farms we all work so hard on are practically worthless. Our great builds we can enjoy over there. Not like many towns were prospering in the first place. Those who have everything want of nothing. Why do you think so many have left despite our unique community? You have it all, so what's left to do?
We get this, some may leave. But do consider that some may also come back with an entire new (hopefully remaining un-broke) economy and clean world to start fresh on. An old community on a young server. Minecraft is for building, so let's build on a new world with old friends.
(Anyways, if we leave HT because Option 2 is implemented, it's not like we get to keep our builds and not have to start over from scratch. Kind of stuck in it. Leave and start new on a server that doesn't match this one or stay and start new with the same (usually) amazing community.)
