That's kind of the thing I was thinking about: what exactly are we losing if we lose the old world? It's basically just to show off all the work we've done previously, but who are we showing it off to? For the most part, the only people who see it are ourselves, and we all know what we built and what we accomplished. We're not going to forget those structures just because we can't run around them anymore. If anything, those memories might inspire us to do things again, bigger and better. We were already talking about knocking down the noob hotel because it didn't look good in comparison to the new stuff, and there's honestly a lot of structures like that. The Arena is actually kind of boring being built from all stone brick, but that was all we had to build from back then and no one is going to go through the effort to remodel it at this point. I feel similarly about the town hall; decent enough for when it was built, but actually kind of low quality in comparison to the rest of the city around it, and certainly not 'worthy' of being the center of the city we were building. We could do it all over with access to all the new biomes and materials, without map height constraints (a major factor in the size of the Arena), and with our more modern and elaborate designs.
