I think Devs should give players a general idea of when to expect a reset.
Can we expect a reset in a matter of weeks? Or in a few months?
Do they want to have this world reach the 2 years marker (if nothing happens)?
Do they plan on going for as long as they can, until a reset is required because of some new feature?

I know they don't have a set date, and that's ok. But since they do know what their plans are about it, giving us a ballpark figure would be appreciated.

1.4. will be reset.

I don't think they have much incentive to do this because you know that once a reset date is announced, some number of people will immediately stop playing until the reset, even if it is months away.

reset is no where close. they have a lot of shit to work/clean up on first.

Major thing that killed the population this world was winter- and it would do it again in the current form.
Object controlled objected is closer then ever before apperntly.
End game stuff for village to just sink resources into is still not a thing and needs to be...(water systems~ sinks, pumps, pipes, fountains and shit)

Most of those waiting for a reset are already not playing. And knowing the date might actually be an incentive for some people to try new, dangerous stuff. Never had the courage to try hunting a mammoth? Time to try! Never explored that whirlpool, time to go! Never tried PvP? Let's go!

If you know the server is about to reset, you can drop every safety precaution you had, since it won't matter if you die.

No world reset has ever been announced months in advance. How can you know this will be the case? "I'll lose everything in two weeks" is very different from "I'll lose everything in two months", let alone "I'll lose everything in 5-6 months".

At more than a month or two out, it definitely wouldn't discourage people from playing, however, how can you predict your development cycle that far ahead unless you have the means to put yourself through the crunch time necessary for sticking to such schedules? I don't know about you or others here, but I can't take that kind of stress. It's so bad in the industry as a whole, some studios have denounced forcing their designers and engineers to endure such things and are working to remove such design scheduling.

I will say that if there were regularly scheduled restarts, a few people might be encouraged to play more, but what would the requirements of that be? What would suffer because of such a decision?

Old stupid conservative people: The fruits of your hard work are the sweetest. Nothing worth having comes easy.

2021: having a plan is literally dangerously oppressive and we must consider the suffering we would go through in order to actually set ourselves goals

I'm with you magicman. Actually setting goals is dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.
Smoke weed and avoid hard work and never push yourself with oppressive limitations like time limits.
I have heard about studios making these very progressive changes too - do whatever you want whenever you want and god will guide us ... it's the way things should be
