Re: towns stuff

Size, mainly. I mean, I love my little plot in Corinth and all, but it's only 9x9 or so. That's big enough for one room. Not even a room. A closet, really. I don't often build things, but when I do, I like to do so on a grand scale. 50x50 is a minimum for me. That's enough for a good 9 rooms or so, ...

That's just it though. I started playing on the server in ver3. At the time, there were no major rails, no warping between worlds, nothing. Because there didn't need to be. There were no worlds to warp to, and since everyone lived on the ver3 map, no real reason to need rails. You had your main buil...

We are also looking at options for a faster than minecart travel, but it won't be an instant /gs portal as you are used to. Will the proposed "faster-than-minecart" travel be available from any location, or just from small number of predetermined access points? If it's from anywhere (or close to an...

That's just it though wokka. Not everyone lives in or near cities. If you want a good bit of land for building something, you're pretty much forced to go far away from the cities to build.

Re: Easy mode, Hard mode, lets do it!

Honestly, the difficulty could go to Normal without much change, but that's really a non-issue. As long as it stays below hard (so you can't starve to death), It shouldn't matter. What should is groupspawn. Removing that has a pretty big disadvantage. 1- There is a hub you HAVE to pass through to ge...

Also, keep in mind that there are two standardized tests used to get into US schools. You may very well find it easier to score higher on the ACT than the SAT. I know I did, at least.

It's a bit too small for an embassy though, due to plot size. However, I have bui...

If the project doesn't involve any digging, like building a giant statue or something, there is no better spot than an iced over ocean.
