Minecraft Griefers Demolish 1:1 scale model of Denmark

Surely whatever program they used to create it could just be run again. It used data from maps etc so it must be able to run the same input again. Although if its >1tb of data thats gonna take a while...

Hahaha, I'm sorry but that is a bit amuzing. I mean, what did they expect?

Kind of thought that would happen when i read the Rules for being on the server.

By this wording, it seems they will rebuild it by hand instead of restoring a backup. They have backups, right?

Proving that my previously down voted to hell comment about this being a waste of money was correct...

Small countries like Denmark tend to have a much more well-behaved population than large countries. I.e. they queue nicer, they are more likely to return something they found, etc. (game-theoretic research suggests that such a culture is a symptom of having a high likelyhood of meeting again - thus offering more opportunities to punish bad behaviour).

That background might explain their optimistic expectations.

They didn't create a backup? Seriously?

Sad to say... but this is why you make backups. Things like this happen to minecraft servers all the time. :/

Back ups are good to guard against all kinds of mishaps. Still, to see something like this intentionally destroyed is really bad. It's akin to the people that would post google docs documents here for community collaboration and within seconds griefers would go there to trash them.

I always wonder what kind of mindset it takes to show that you are capable of destroying something just for the heck of it.

So your 'kinda had it coming' to me is akin to blaming the victim, you create something you can expect that there will be people hell bent on destroying it and that's somehow 'normal'. It isn't normal.
