Yesterday, a Survival reset was announced for
Thursday, November 29th.
The purpose of this post is to announce that the plans for this reset have since been
cancelled.
There are several key factors at play when seasons on any server are decided to conclude prematurely, e.g.
- New players having a difficult time entering a matured server, whether it's due to the economy or other reasons
- The server has reached a stagnant state
- Major mechanical issues deprive the server of its playability, at any point throughout its season
- Highly requested updates that either require or are major enough for a data reset
Not every change makes it into a changelog or a reset announcement due to its complications. For example, suppose there is a problematic change that we might either temporarily disable or permanently revert after the reset begins to ensure the
stability of the server. In that case, we'd rather not announce it in the first place until it's in a fully tested, ready state.
All that being said, every reset will have some form of backlash as people don't wish to lose their progress, however, the Survival reset was cancelled due to the clear overwhelming feedback that this is not something that a majority of the existing players want, so it will continue to be maintained as it is.
