To this day I don't understand why no one gets that removing money and items was my preference, not the decision. No decisions like that have been made, solely to avoid confrontation and resentment within the community. When we decide it, you will know. If it happens, we will provide how we would play it out, both RP wise and technically. That's the only way that is fair for everyone.

@Moglets Your first point seems weighted on your idea that this is simply about map change, which it isn't. As you said about free time, you don't understand what this is about. This is not about simply changing things visually, that would be shallow and in vain. People would get bored knowing that the only change is a visual one. We want to improve things that are great, and remove things that are sub-par. I know that sounds vague, but for the sake of discretion, it is meant to be. I doubt this will change your opinion, but regardless know that this change is more than just tidying up the place. We want to use our knowledge that we have learned running this server and use it to create a RP experience that people will truly appreciate. While the world itself plays a HUGE role in this, it is all in the details Also, I want to know whose opinions you deem 'more valuable' in this thread. Please, indulge me. I am off to bed, I will read the responses in the morning.

@Moglet I read over your post, twice in some spots, and have only two questions for you. 1. You point out that your small sum isn't worth losing for a fresh start, but how do you justify that when others who have FAR more, for example DigginTilDawn, who is in the top five richest on the server, are willing to give up theirs to give newer players a even playing field? 2. You repeatedly state that there is no 'justification' or 'compelling argument'. These are both subjective, as multiple people have given the opinions and reason for wanting a fresh start. Just because you find the opinions unequal to yours does not make yours right. I would also like to mention that the Kits are intended to help balance this out for new players. Much like a 'Grand Re-Opening ' to a restaurant, we expect (With good reason) many new players with the New World release. Kits give a balanced start to all players, as well they reward those who have donated. Sure, Donators would receive benefits(Arguably advantages), but this is good business in the real world. We need to stay afloat, and donations keep us online. Without them, you wouldn't have your nestegg in the first place. Thanks for reading, MrZombez PS - You stated that there is no compelling argument, however 90% of the people on your side just claim they don't want to lose the time spent. How is that compelling? You can't tell me that doesn't sound lazy.

WHOA WHOA WHOA Where is that second image from? Seed and Co-ords pl0x!

For books, it depends on how busy we are when New World is released. As for minas and items, there are only three choices, all, nothing, or Kits. We cannot regulate minas caps and item limits, we would have to do that manually, for EVERY member.

This post was preemptive. It is not the final decision.
