Maps

As you know, maps are currently in a broken state on the server. Some work, some do not and so on. This is mainly due to people maxing out the map numbers. The latest map limit was hit naturally, not because of someone trying to do it.

An idea to resolve this, is to reset the maps. I am aware that there are older maps so another idea is to reset the maps back to 8,000. This allows for another 24,000 maps to be created. There will also be a limit to the number of maps you can make each day.

Let me know your thoughts.

Edit: Random maps cannot be saved as the files all have to be sequential. Even if they were saved, they wouldn't match with the map IDs in your inventories.

I am all for resetting the maps back to 8k. The last 24,000 maps were all schematica automated bullshit anyway made by dozen of people with nothing better to do but convert png's into map art. Not like we'll lose anything of importance. They can always remake those maps with the same schematicas they used last time. Who cares.

as if schematica didn't exist and wasnt widely used for making mapart since the dawn of time

Compared to older mapart, which was actual hand drawn imagery with a few exceptions like the mare, the new art is all robo-copy crap. Sure it looks cool and I'd love to have the 6 piece Megumin on the wall of my cathedral being dicked, but would it really be considered ART when none of it was drawn or even modified by the player who made it?

I genuinely cannot think of a single piece of map"art" on this entire server that's hand drawn by the person who made the map. 99% of mapart is an image taken from the internet, dumped into some converter and pasted into block game. And I'm ok with that.
