- Preserve history: Thousands of hours of effort have been invested in to building these maps. They are an important piece of history that should remain accessible.
- Nostalgia: Many players have described EarthMC and its maps as part of their childhood. Everyone should have the opportunity to revisit these memorable places.
- Increased server trust: Providing a reliable archive of old maps should foster trust among players who dedicate their time and effort to the current map.
