First I want to say unequivocally that I appreciate the work of all the mods & Schaum for the rapidity in which the server is being relaunched & for the great public areas being created.
However, I'm very ambivalent about moving forward myself. I'm going to wait and see, but I am upset about the confusion and some player's assumptions about what is going to happen. Things should be clearly addressed and laid out before the server is open, this is the only way to prevent unrealized expectations, which could cause anger beyond what has already been displayed by the reset, data, and rank loss.
My main concern is the End & my donations. I hope there is a hold on access to end so that the elytra economy is not monopolized by those who can hit the ground running way better than me or some others. I hope to hear solid consensus and specifics on what type of compensation is being offered to old voters & donators. I worry that the server will re-open to lots of bad feelings when all of us who have worked so hard are Steves with 300 claim blocks because we just voted for the 1st time. Some posts seem to expect much more positive outcomes than I infer from staff responses. I request that correct expectations be offered. Especially for the cutoff of donations being honored & whether those donations will be old package or new. I don't care which it is, but it needs to be answered. What is the deadline?
Thanks for your time. I welcome anyone to comment on their own feelings.

I'm not much affected by the server reset, because I was getting bored anyways and I wanted to start fresh. The only thing that I am concerned about is gathering the claim blocks for the town that I am starting after the server reset and getting my OP tools and elytra back.

Well said. When the news of the reset was first announced, I was stunned but initially decided to remain given I had dedicated so much time to this server already. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized it wasn't going to be so easy. I'd lost literally everything I'd put into the server. Not only that, but all the infrastructure and economy I grew so familiar with was wiped in an instant. I have no interest in competing in another mad rush for land and resources, or being a constrained little noob back at square one where I was two years ago because of a mistake that someone else made. Another 240 days of voting just to get back the things that belong to me? No thank you. From what I see, right now there's no guarantee the server won't spontaneously combust again in a year.
I only played Minecraft on SS. I don't have any singleplayer worlds, or any attachment to any other servers. Being away from it for a few days made me realize that I don't enjoy Minecraft without the community aspect that I only found in Safe Survival. But if things can be lost so easily, then perhaps it would be better that I invest my time and emotions somewhere else.
I apologize if anyone feels attacked by this post. I really enjoyed my time here, and gradually coming to know more and more people as I slowly became more established. Unfortunately, right now I don't think trying to invest in the server again is a good use of my increasingly limited free time.
Thanks to everyone who I came to know on Safe Survival. I'll definitely still be around, just not as often as before.
