As an avid Lego user in my youth... I don't agree at all. If I could have kept all of my creations I would have. The only reason I destroyed things was because I only had so many Legos, and only so many good ones that I commonly used. I needed to destroy in order to build. But that's not the case here. Both your block supply and the size of your playroom is infinite (conceptually speaking). So why destroy?

Point of fact.. I have sitting in my display cabinet the last Lego creation I made. I was so proud of it I refused to destroy it to make anything new. So I chose to retire my Lego creating after I made that.

But that aside, there's more to this poll than just that. A vote for "yes" not only means you're willing to sacrifice your creations to start anew, but you'd be working towards forcing the destruction of the creations of those who don't want to give up what they've done. To be honest I was a little hurt when Crawdad voted "yes" after I pointed that our earlier. =(

I'd never assume I have the right to dictate the destruction of anothers' work. Hopefully I can eventually run multiple servers, because I really don't see ever resetting the server without unanimous support of all stakeholders.

Having a fresh world definitely has an appeal to it. That point I'd never argue against. But I'd rather eventually provide that through additional servers, rather than wipe out the accumulative hundreds of hours of work people have put into this world.



I agree the journey is more important than the destination, but the journey is greater than any one building, fortress, tunnel, or skyway. The real journey is the collective development of the entire virtual world. It's one of the reasons I never bought the "maintenance is good" argument. You should build something, finish it, then move on to something new. Rinse and repeat. I haven't visited my first outpost in probably a week, save for one or two quick runs to get supplies I had stored in it. My focus now is my lighthouse/compound. And when I'm done with that I'll move on to something else.

The point of a multiplayer server, IMO, is that what we've made is inherently shared with all other players. The only way for it to be shared is for it to survive. Otherwise why not simply play single-player?

Yeah, I saw that google thing. I'll look at those again. We just need to find something that'll preferably work from the live game world (versus manual copy&process of the world files) and something that won't cause corruption. The server being Linux, we'd also need to make sure any automatic mapping things works in that environment.

Only downside is that they don't do justice to peoples' underground constructions. But there's really no avoiding that, short of something that lets you see through the world.. which itself would lead people too easily to resources.

so...When you going to post the picture of the lego creation that ended all legos ?


i wana see

So it's worth my time to play some more because the server is not going to be reset (in the near future)?
