I do think with our population a new world needed to be added or the current one expanded, and option 2 does not seem to solve the crowding issue, people are gonna come and go as usual and we'll need another reset to clean the fields. Also new world makes the need of a resource world obsolete.

Basically, we're only considering a reset at this time because of sentiments some have expressed that the server can't continue in this state for much longer - that it needs a big overhaul to deal with the issues of crowding and an economy with runaway deflation which have continued for two separate prior discussions about resetting. The opposing stance to that is that these issues are overblown, as there is still space on the map and the economy is merely a means to facilitate trade, and we can continue as is until a major update to the game bringing new biomes and structures makes the creation of a new world truly necessary.

If we are going to decide that the problems faced by the server are significant enough to warrant a reset, we must fix all of the problems at once lest they simply continue to fester like an open wound. If we are going to decide the problems are insignificant for what we play this game for, then the server is fine to continue chugging along as it is.

In short, the question being asked of you all is this: Our creed is that the server will not reset or replace the world until it is necessary. So is it necessary now?
