As for those of you saying the following:
"A RESET WOULD RUIN EVERYTHING. ALL THE PLAYERS WOULD LEAVE AND ONLY NEW PLAYS WOULD ENJOY THE SERVER."
Ok.....
Honestly, I think anybody that still plays MeepCraft that was around for the glory days really wants to see the server be great again. In my opinion, (this is coming from no one with plugin development knowledge or experience) MeepCraft, as a whole, needs a reset. Meep should be completely offline for a few weeks and try to update all plugins to at least 1.9 as well. MeepCraft HAS to find a way to be relevant with the new direction of MineCraft as a game.
Take a look at this, I played in the fairly early days of Meep. I was also around during MeepNetworks, and the day MeepNetworks went down, I had 85 mil meebles and anything I could ever need to my name. I came on, and everything was fresh. I remember being super salty the first few minutes. Then, I realized how great a fresh start felt. Everyone was having a blast.
For those of you completely against a reset, have an open mind. The TRUE, DEDICATED player base that still plays (so not me because I don't have a Pc) wants to see the best for this server. If you're worried about your town or meebles or whatever, how valuable will those things be to you when literally no one plays this server anymore. Don't let your selfish-ness hinder the server. Without a reset and updates to the server, how is MeepCraft going to survive? MineCraft as a whole is a strong community, but EVERYONE can agree that MC is not as big as it once was.
I've seen this server in its ups and downs. Even though I don't currently play, I have a lot of respect and love for the well-being of MeepCraft. I'd really hate to see it continue to dwindle in player count until there is nothing.
Grace and peace.
