Fresh Start

[Equin0x]

Whats better then starting over fresh and meeting new people? Nothing! So I had an idea no one will like but would be rather fun for the admins. The idea is, ipban every single player and make sure their is zero chance of anyone logging in (except admins), backup the server files, then massive advertise the server and get a fresh bunch of players to join and play on the server. Sounds a little far-fetched but in an admins point of view (i think) it would actually be a lot of fun.

Are you saying that after a little while, they would let us all back online using the backup? If so, wouldn't we have to kick all of the new players out?

[Equin0x]

I forget what the player limit is, fill me in?

[Z4X3R]

I'm pretty sure it's 50, but I didn't know if we could combine the backup files with the ones held by new players. This is probably simple, I just didn't understand.

It's 64, and if they don't ban us then I'm all in. I could do a Let's Play!

So, when do the old players get to rejoin?

Finally, somebody asks the obvious question.

Never.
Idk, after a month the admins ask the new players how much fun they had etc then they get combined to the regular server.

[LilacLily]

MONTH?
 
And how does this work exactly, 1 server version for us, 1 for the to-be newbies?

[Tenebrae]

Never.

So, basically they'd be banning players from a server they're been commited to for over a year... And did you never think about players using proxies and alts...

I think this is a horrible idea honestly, I see no valid positives. Taking away all your players will not increase server traffic, it will only hurt the server and it's community.

No one would 'mass advertise' if players are incapable of joining...

If you didn't notice, I just said if we weren't it may be cool.

Now, I have to ask something Equin. Why would bring this up knowing you too would suffer the same fate as rest of us?

How would the new players fight the gym leaders then, if there are non?

Fighting gyms was my favorite thing when I joined the server
