the world was randomly generated, the amount of ocean in the current world was entirely incidental. fraser just wanted a water source for the starting area to make the ‘sailed to’ narrative which is where the pond at spawn city came in. Which ironic since that’s land locked….

Also, to clairfy, i brought up the whitelist as it effects the new…[Read more]

Please note, my suggestion is dependent entirely on the mod’s having some sort of logging ability of time. I realize them trying to sort out lists by time manually would be both ridiculous and impossible

So, are there any plans to attempt a more orderly spawn this time?

Also, and I realize this is going to be a bit of a loaded suggestion from the start but I’m kinda playing devils advocate here. I’ve rewatched the genesis episode a few times and one of the big issues was the whitelist at the start. Heck, fraser had trouble getting in which kinda…[Read more]

For the record, when I say certain mods, I mean ‘I can’t remember who’ and in context it is entirely possible and likely that it was said as a joke (It was a response I was given when I had asked and when others had asked as recently as April). I wasn’t taking a shot at the mods I was just clarifying that someone had said it which is where I…[Read more]

I’m loving the ban appeal courts :D

I think he’s referring to when people asked when a new server world would be made, certain mods said never :P

Ravage the dying nether:

Everyone take to the nether and strip the place of glowstone, netherbrick (from the bases of the fortresses, not the walk ways) and soul sand before the transition to the new nether

that’s the thing, basing it on the portal doesn’t help unless your portal is dead center of the community which is rare.

It should be based on the furthest built thing, which is where border markers would be helpful

Can we set up a marker system for borders this time around please? Like, a 2 block high stack with a torch on top every 25 spaces around the border of your territory? This way we can stop border disputes unless someone’s inconsiderate and doesn’t actually check around their area first?

Honestly, if what you have to work on isn’t going to be done by October, two more months likely won’t change things. Likewise, when the server switched last time, the old server was still accessible/editable for several weeks, so it’s not like work needs to stop the moment the server switch happens. IE: he should be able to complete the resident…[Read more]

True, though I think we might want to rework the ‘spawn’ idea. IT would be a lot better if the area immediately arround spawn was slightly more organized and accessible to new players. It wouldn’t be too hard to set up a farm and stuff near spawn so new players can get the basic materials.

I take it we should hold off on topics regarding new communities for the new world huh?

The farewell build should be all air-ships of various sorts

Also, and I don’t mean any insult by this, but I hope that this disolves the edge to an extent. I understand it was a great community, but it frankly got too big to the point that I know some of my friends who watched the minecraft builds thought that the edge was the name for the entire minecraft community. Plus, with all their stuff happening on…[Read more]

I see where you’re coming from. I just spent the last four months terraforming the land for a major city build so that has basically become a massive wasted of time. That being said, knowing this far in advance it’s not as bad since we can build up resources and start fresh and ready. Plus we can fix some of the border issues we’ve had before…

While part of me looks forward to the new world, the other part of me shudders.

Trollrend just became a moot point. Ah well, I’ll gather resources now and be ready for the new world when it gets here.
