"After nine years of development, hopefully, it was worth the wait."

I know coding something like this takes time, but how often will we get updates for this? Just curious, as anyone who has the nerve to ask such a question.

800–1599+. Read all previous suggestions to do when bored from 2AM to 4 AM
801-840. Wonder if it's more reasonable to add 39 from the number of pages
802. Wonder if anyone cares about the SMP server anymore
803. Continue to wonder
804. Wonder if this should actually be 807 with all the miscounts that happened in-between
805. Wonder if it's worth my no-time to visit SMP sometime
80?: Use a colon
80?: Wonder how I'm having a good time after the trauma I've dealt mentally the past few days……
80?: Go back to make an 805

How can I know? I'm not wearing my headphones anytime soon.

Next willn't will be a necropost.

I've literally read every single reply to this topic, and what all the recent discussion comes down to is the server's economy and world/space management.

For what I've read, people don't seem very keen on moving from a currency-based trading system to a "points" system, which seems to be getting a lot of misunderstanding, yet is understandable to me why it does: Nick's main point for changing to a point system sounds like a complete transfer to a Survival style of play that discourages trading (player interaction) and encourages scavenging for yourself. Of course, this isn't the whole picture, but it's a selling point.

In Singleplayer, I've gained the tendency to gather my wood then stone tools; hop in caves; stock on iron gear; then just run around 'till I lag my world jump in more caves for diamonds and etc., occasionally strip mining. All that usually for the purpose of "finishing" the game.
I've pretty much been doing the same thing on the server when I do come online. My home was set up by my cousin's friends in the Old Guest World (in the sky, probably scared of griefers, unaware of PSs and any other Opti staples). The only reason why I wouldn't want a server wipe is because of nostalgia and the fact that I've "worked" on it since I joined.
The attractiveness of a server wipe is a "fresh start" for everyone, including old time members. For some, not all, old players, it would be extremely unfair for all their hard work to just disappear but still be playing on the "same" server where they once had all of it.
If it was an established tradition to reset the server annually (or some time), then it wouldn't sound so harsh. However, it is not that way, and some people have invested a lot of their time and dedication to such projects.

The more people try to defend such an action, the more it looks like socialism; the same can be said for the currency wipe as well. Sure, people may build farms, AFK variants included, but isn't that part of the real world (standing in place for hours not included)? If you want to get places, you need to work for it. Trying to get rid of ways for people to accumulate wealth never ends well (people leaving), neither is distributing wealth equally. Socialism can only work if everyone does his part in the community, but this has never worked in the real world, either.

Excuse me if this looks out of order and confusing, because it's like 3:30 AM and I didn't record my thoughts as I read the whole thread. I was also typing at the speed of sound in molasses.

False

Next person has major plans for this year

Mega necro-post! (This is legal, right?)

Good job, pimkey, ya threw everyone off the boat.

Next person is out of school/on break.

Oh,ok. Go ahead and lock then
