This is a great idea Justin. That is basically what the Empire Helpers plan to do, minus the coding and plus physical labor. When I read this post I was thinking of the octahedron of oblivion. If that gets deleted lots of work and resources on zeg's part will be wasted.
This is an excellent solution to the problem of the terrain getting devastated and becoming treacherous and unsightly as a result. This, along with the outposts, takes care of the major reasons resetting the wilderness would be desirable/needed... though eventually it might be desirable to do so anyway, but that'll take a really long time. I actually don't see a problem with resetting the area around the spawn buildings all the way to bedrock even. I think it's fine to let it be easy for those who are lazy. Besides, while they're busy re-devastating the area around the spawn buildings they're not out looking for, and stealing from, and destroying, the further away bases that the non-lazy people have put effort into. I see that as a very good thing.
Yeah they'll be lazy anyway one way or another which means they'll probably pillage our stuff for their own ends instead of destroying the land around outposts/spawns...
I like this idea! I wonder what would happen if there was an abandoned village near spawn, though. Testificates going through outposts would be quite the sight. I'd also like to say that, in Minecraft, all the fun is supposed to be exploring the landscape and building! What is this display of being cowardly?
