This wasn't a suggestion Zard but oke. Lol. And maybe when you join during a purge a message would pop up explaining it. Because, as others said, I would rage quit as a builder. Such as an explanation that this isn't what ecc is always like. The fact that people wouldn't log in is also not really much of an issue if it was only one night a year. Or even an hour. I like the idea of a server wide thing then rollback cuz honestly who doesn't want to ruin things or blow stuff up on ecc? Haha. This would give a night to let out your inner griefing. Also, maybe a purge world would be cool. Like a world where you build and prepare for a pvp every so often. Possibly something resembling a mining world sort of thing where pvp is enabled every few days or so. There are a lot of things that cause this idea to not be possible. Such as people logging off during it or not logging in at all. Remember, this was jus an idea to discuss. I'm not suggesting we do or do not implement any of the said ideas.
Sounds super cool! What if you didn't disable donation features ( Real people pay for that) and just had pvp every where. What if each town was know as an army and you would have a personal chat for your army! You could battle it out with your friends, make allies, and even play ECC like usual!!! Idk about you but I would never log out!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And lastly, NO. If this ever happened I would not play the server, this is not a grief/pvp server and nor would the people joining want it to be one. Imagine if new players join during it and are like YAY AWESOME GRIEF PVP AND CRaP and then its over and they leave. I highly doubt any more than 80 - 100 people would be on, if that. I personally don't want my town destroyed even if it gets rolled back, it would be too hard to roll back everyone unless he (Andrew) literally saves right before it and just reverts back to that save, any normal economy stuff would be gone and people would be angry. If this were to ever happen it would need a separate world that has the same map as the normal world, but even then it would cause lag to load up 2 12000 x 12000 maps, or whatever size they are now. It's just unnecessary / unneeded / would never happen / complicated / no more slashes.
I think this would be a very good idea. If we took off all town protections then it would greatly reduce grief and other crime. Like most people have said i don't see this happening but I love this idea and I would definitely be logged on for this event.
