[Pixelmon] World Reset & Other information

[Dpa1991]

World Reset
A world reset is coming later this week (saturday), we have the builders working full time to finishing it, and even then, we will reset with the map not fully finished (they will finish it after the reset)
What will happen is, World1 will be reset, and we will move the existing World1 as World1old and keep it for another 30 days so players have time to move their loot to the new world. POKEMONS WILL NOT BE RESET!!!
PS: In addition to that, the pokemon will spawn in the new World1, so you will no longer have to go to world3 to catch pokemon! Also we will tweak the spawn rate of pokemons to try and make them more common!


Update to latest Pixelmon versions
Sadly, updating to the latest Pixelmon version is currently impossible. Because they moved (ahead of time, I may say), to MC 1.8 and the API that was meant to support plugins in 1.8 (Sponge) is just not ready. So if we were to update, we'd lose all the plugins, we wouldn't have a solid protection plugin. In addition to that, a lot of mods are at END OF LIFE and will not be updated to 1.8 (even mods that add new blocks).
So status is: We'll update when Sponge is working properly and supporting plugins properly. We don't have an estimate, but we can confirm that we do plan on updating the server to 1.8. (There is already a client with the latest pixelmon mod)

Training Arena
The training arena was disabled due to a bug in WorldGuard (the plugin that suported the training arena via no-entry flags). These flags were disabled because they lagged the server. I will ask the help of Fear, and hopefulyl we can figure a way to bring the TA back after the reset.

Why cant this be done for B-Team?!?!??!

When a world reset is needed I'm sure the owner(s) will put in the same procedure & effort that they've put into this one.

I'm all for a new world!! One problem though. In the old w1, I own a town that took me months to make. It's really magnificent, and I built it all on my own. Will Managers+ be moving builds such as these to the new world1? (or world3)

Dpa said in his post that manager+ will NOT move any builds over to the new world

That stinks, I spent quite a while trying to get that town up and running. Well, time to rebuilt it.

I really don't see the purpose of a reset if everyone would just take their builds with them. That would defeat the purpose of playing, because you will always have the same things. This was a good move on Dpa's part (kudos to you) as now everyone who had buildings in /w1 can now rebuild them, and perhaps make them better, and this will also provide a motivation to play more, especially for people who have stopped playing due to things like boredom, now they have something to do again, and maybe they'll come back

Nobody is being forced to move over their buildings and items. If they want to keep them in the normal world and get them reset they can, and start over fresh. It gives an option for the players who don't want to lose their things, because often people will quit playing if everything they've worked for disappears.

Motavation to "come" back? Or want to play more? I wouldn't want to rebuild something I spent a lot of time on over and over. If it took me 1h+ I still wouldn't care, I would not rebuild it. On Survival your allowed (At least last reset) to get one build moved. I think this should be done, considering it takes about 1 minute to do if users have an area for the build. If I am not active in the SFT community anymore and I get even more stuff reset, then there is no way I am coming back. Anyways, I don't play Pixelmon too often, but I guess it's up to the owner in the ultimate end.
