Map Reset - Opinions?

I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks of the reset in more than just a 'yes/no', since I'm sure there are doubts on both sides. I'm posting this thread because personally I don't see why it's necessary. I understand the reasons put forward as advantages but wonder whether a reset is really needed to achieve the aims of going premium - for example, does advertising a new premium server really call for said server to be offline? With so many premium servers to compete with, MinePlank doesn't have the advantage it did catering to the much smaller cracked player market. Personally I feel like the primary advantage of the reset would be a fresh spawn area, clean and with new features. This could be achieved without a complete map clear and would enable the current factions (most of which have supported MinePlank cracked and since going premium) to retain their work. Any question of an advantage against new players is null considering new factions set up constantly and we don't reset for them... Thoughts? Posted Feb 22, 14 · OP Like x 1 x 1 List Undo

In any map where the End is claimable there's going to be one faction which is untouchable... Posted Feb 23, 14 Like x 2 x 2 List Undo

However, this is like a new beginning for Mineplank. ImJustPro (IJP/Eric) has experimented for years with cracked, and has catered to the needs of the cracked players. But, a lot of the problems that the server was having, were isolated to the fact that it was cracked. If Eric were to restart the map, this would be a "grand reopening" of the server, and instead of having players join the server where all the players are extremely OP and are destroying them when they try to escape spawn, everyone will be on equal footing, if only for about an hour or so. That's just my opinion, but I'm interested to hear everyone else's opinion. Posted Feb 24, 14 Like x 1 x 1 List Undo
