The issue is going to be this, plain and simple. we are going to see two things happen very quickly if we dont wipe creative world periodically or at least a portion of it. The world is going to fill up very quickly, and people are going to run out of space. Also, the world will quickly grow in size with our continued expansion due to overcrowding. The reason that our main world has stayed somewhat uncrowded for so long because users are forced to gather a majority of materials themselves. This limits building size. When creative is involved, the builds will be bigger and much more frequent. This is going to be a popular world, because no one wants to bother with getting materials. If we dont have some sort of periodic wipe or reset, i really cant see it working for an extended period of time. Lets face it, we cant keep every build on this server indefinitely. Especially if we start trying to increase our user traffic.
My goal with this new world is to have a sandbox type world that anyone can come build in. We could have custom terrain ( i know of some really fun ones) and users can just go nuts. This world will come with a stipulation. Your build will not be permenant. This will be known from the start. If users are completely adament about keeping a build, Perhaps we could go through them and create schematics for users that want to keep their finished build.
The second world, or second portion of the creative world can be plots. 50x50, 75x75, doesnt matter. These plots can be for sale. Users can buy these if they want to have a permenant project or keep working on it if the sandbox portion of the world is going to be reset. The only thing that will keep these plots private is money, which anyone can get with a little work. It will make users appreciate their plot, or two plots, or 4 plots more and help keep them from filling up quickly.
I personally like the idea of two different worlds so we can do some sweet custom terrain on the sandbox world.
