It doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both. A new world and the old. A new smaller map and the old. Two servers like a lot of MMOs.

Simple answer to the question at hand ... No.

I guess what Tiamo and I suggest is adding new challenges to the existing world. No one would lose their characters and there would be something interesting to do again.

I loves the game, and came back just to renew my CANTReality fix.
*gathers a bunch of Obsidian*
*Builds Nether portal and Steps sideways to LongCantr West 1*.
I mean, it does require a Potato, which is as iconic to cantr as I can think of!
*cheers for those who get the mixed references there*
I would dislike a restart, but would be fine with decay of some resources or building deconstructon or anything to present a non-static nature to this Persistant world. I play for the RP anyway, not so much for the mechanics, so am happy with some of my characters who could technically just stay in their empty towns gathering food for decades, needing nothing else. As long as there's folks to talk to, or hear from periodically . The rest is details.

I think I'm enjoying the game more now than I did all but a few days of my first two accounts.
Instead of getting bogged down in goals based on game mechanics (worlds biggest bus fleet! wooo!) I'm setting societal goals where the obstacles are created by other players. Instead of trying to create interesting characters for other people's stories, I'm trying to create interesting stories for other peoples characters.
In essence I've converted from a role playing first player to a strategic first player, and the change has made the game new to me. Hopefully as my characters get older and their plans progress (or in some cases take form) the world will become a more interesting place. Not that I don't RP or have directionless socialites, but the characters with world changing goals are the most compelling.
