I know quite a few people are not happy that we haven't done any sort of reset in the past few weeks, so I've decided to try a poll and see what peoples' opinions on the matter is at the moment. Please note: This will not be the final decision, but it might greatly affect the team and SK's indecisiveness.
For me it depends if 1.5 will have new ores and stuff that involves resetting the world.If yes then 2 servers would be great.If not the porting the 1.4 map to 1.5 and updating to 1.5 would be the way to go.
Allow us to keep a small space (like 40x40 or less) and destroy everything else, also AE systems should be clared so the overload isnt that much and the guys will have to choose what to keep (who needs 550k of cobble ¬¬) like machines, diamonds and iridium. -->>Everyone who doesnt prepare for the quantum jump into the new world will be exterminated<<-- And that sounds lovely.
If we could have a new map but with copying our bases I would be fine, but I still want my stuff in 1.5, don't want to have to restart everything :l
Here's an idea of mine: 1. Make people store everything they want to keep on AE disks, and maybe install Backpacks to make that easier. Have them also carry some basic AE stuff with them, and a power supply for it. 2. Completely reset the WORLD, not the player data. This way people still have to completely set up their base again, but they won't actually lose their stuff. I think this would be better than having SK and the players to do needless extra work to copy chunks and fix all the terrain and bases, with all these world gen and mod changes coming in 1.5.
Well, IC2 and Advanced Solar Panels need to fix some of their energy net issues for 1.5.2 from my experiences; unless the modpack team can fix them to ensure players don't crash from setting solar panels. Other than that I'm completely content with moving to 1.5.2 and resetting the map. As long as the AE disks retain the information then this would probably be pretty optimal. Though I suggest anyone wanting to save their stuff would have to either a.) build the disks etc themselves, or b) buy them from an NPC at spawn. Needs tested.
I like Tonius' idea. This was suggested before and we can store an unlimited amount of items (driveception).
That's why I suggested Backpacks. Like Canvas Bags, you can't store nearly as much stuff on them, but every little bit helps It's also useful to carry all the storage disks and the other AE stuff with you.
I would like to keep the 1.4 map because personally i haven't reached end game. But if we update then can we reset the nether because 1.5 adds nether quartz.
There wasn't going to be a question of not resetting the nether for 1.5. If we don't, it would be deathly hard for people to get it unless there was a shop.
