I believe this server needs a hard reset mainly because of the recent server strain due to all the crap and duped items people had to deal with. And with the recent changes with loot spawns so we don't have guns spawning everywhere I think itd be better for everyone to have a nice fresh start and put all the duped items and crap behind us.

For what it's worth, 'all your lootz can be yours' even after a wipe if you donate and have your base backed up To be clear: This is NOT an official (or even an unofficial) position on whether or not there should be or will be a wipe. Just a comment on how you can avoid losing your 'lootz'

Look I have a ton of loot and I still suggest a hard wipe. It really isnt that hard to get more loot.. If you really can't live without something, back it up or put it on your character.

To be honest we had a hard reset about 2 months ago (maybe little bit more, lost track of time heh) and before that we almost never had a hard wipe. Now I agree with the fact that there are more items and litter everywhere. I did voted against because of a few things. I have my base up and running and there are a few buildings around that I really really like (Pizza whirled, giga fortress) and I cant imagine that Im alone in this. Im not the only one that has established something and wants to keep it that way at least a lil' while longer. Dont get me wrong, this game is about try, try, try again and I like almost every aspect of building/scavenging/levelling grind. Secondly Im not sure a hard reset would fix anything, the server is laggy..yes but this seems to go over time, I couldnt feel any difference after the hard reset except that it looked cleaner. It was only after the mods got installed that things went from pristine to kentucky wide junkyard. I think that the problem lies with all of us, if we do a hard reset - how fast will the server "clutter" again? Will it only cause people to treat the whole place with even more disrespect by throwing shit everywhere, since theres gonna be a reset anyway? Isnt the messy/apocalyptic look what were going for anyway? This game is alpha, of course its gonna be wonky and thats the charm of it. you say people are selfish but I ask you good sir, arent you the one being selfish right now? You have literally been around for 3 weeks tops. Now Im not telling you that you cant speak out, but you have to understand that a server reset is a pretty rigorous counter to anything thats going on with the server. Hell we didnt have a hard wipe the last time around when there were no items spawning at all thanks to Zac magic. Theres a lot of things that are going to happen soon and everything is still in development. We need new equipment for the server and who knows how the server will run after that? A hard wipe at this point in my opinion does nothing more than patch a bandaid without rooting out core issues like the littering/building outragous shit everywhere (thats just downright ugly) / new hardware. We should address those first before anything else. TLDR: I dont agree with server reset because its too harsh of a matter without addressing other "problems" first. Its not going to help in the long run nor is it going to change any of the power structures already in place except throw away some pretty nifty community work. The game is in alpha state and its going to be wonky multiple times over and over. There are a lot of things on the horizon that may require a hard wipe anyway (new build/new equipment).
{Spoiler} Then bless thy secret growth, nor catch At noise, but thrive unseen and dumb; Keep clean, be as fruit, earn life, and watch, Till the white-winged reapers come.

I personally think the hard wipe will be a terrible loss for the community, as Jordos said.
If we hard wipe, we will lose Bedford. I think we ought to try the Bedford mod once more. There was an update this last week, perhaps we can get in touch with the developer and grind out the technical difficulty we've been experiencing? Or perhaps, if we do hard wipe, Bedford will work? It will be a loss, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for greater gain. The community loved Bedford, and we had a nice server population while it was working. I vote we do wipe, and while we have a fresh server, we try and get another map working before people get settled in squatting!

I like the server as it is. One day I was running around and I stumbled on an ancient, secret base someone had built and abandoned in the woods. It was huge, partly overrun with zombies, but it was so cool.
A wipe means we'd lose all those interesting little artifacts.

If so, that was mine and others before we moved.

Ouch, tough decision..
I need to get all of the donator's updated base locations.
It'll take about 2 hours to run a full backup.
Expected date for wipe-the Sunday when I get back from my parents from Thanksgiving. November 29 or December 4th. Making a poll, cause those will be the two dates if we hard wipe.

I cant decide. I also like the personal touches on the map but the cities look like sh*t. Ignore this post
