Out of the roughly 150,000 players that answered the questions, around half were in favor of the a reset out of beta, and around 40% were in favor of regular resets.
Unfortunately, from the beginning of the Skyblock beta, players have found different ways to exploit the experience and coin system, using different techniques to gain mass amounts of both. It is impossible to know if coins or experience has come from legitimate ways or from cheating. Due to this a data reset was necessary.
However, since the players are so split we decided to run both the “beta mode” and “release mode”. Players can keep their old island, xp, and coins if they want but it will not be included in the leaderboards. Or players can start fresh and be included in the leaderboards. Players will not lose any Mini-Me Helpers, Spawner Bundles, or Auto Sell Chests purchased.
