I have a 20 slot server that is not commonly used. If I were to wipe it, start it fresh, and make it the brb, uninstalling minecraft server. Would you use it?
It would be a fresh server, and a fresh start.
I would set up 3 worlds
1 Classic Survival Mode
1 Creative Mode (with same seed as classic survival, this way if we did epic builds we could import them to the active classic survival mode)
1 Superflat Creative Mode
If Vera, or demonspork had backups of the old worlds I could put them up. But I personally would prefer a fresh start. How about you ladies?
Concerned post responses
1) Are you planning to mod the server? If so, what are you going to put on it?
Yes and no, it would be as vanilla as possible while still having access rights and permissions, there will be multiple worlds, haven't decided on factions or not. But you will have your own "Plot" in which you can build (I am planning on that one).
Mobs will not be able to destroy blocks (no creeper, or enderman destruction).
Gameplay modifiers, such as some kind of game mod like tekkit, aren't going to happen. I'd rather keep it simpler for the users to join.
2) Are you willing to use the forums as an effective way to communicate with people using the server, instead of just talking to whoever is ingame at the time?
Yes, I already do, and I also use IRC. I may put forth an effort (with the help of HeK to get some kind of IRC chat bot set up)
3) I swear to god if I start playing this again and my house gets deleted, I will drive to your actual house and punch you.
In the case of a game update that breaks seed generation (new biomes, etc.), it may be unavoidable, however, I have in the past taken the effort to carve out existing buildings, to place them back in place after generating the world fresh after the world has been re-generated (using the same seed as before). This may cut out any tunnels you may have carved, and any caves, dungeons, temples, or mineshafts would be regenerated, however your houses will be preserved. Of course for at0m, I'll make a special exemption and delete his house weekly.
If I do have to do a carving and re-generation, I may have to erase data files for players in order to get them to respawn to save point... meaning you MAY lose equipment on your person. But I will do my best to provide alternatives to this.
4) How often will the server be updated?
As soon as possible with Bukkit, this means I may run beta and/or dev versions of bukkit on the server to make sure it is up to date.
