The Current Regions System And It's Issues

[Narthok 10416]

Having spent a large amount of time looking around this beautifully built map thinking jeez this would be a great place to live then finding out its all protected. And then the only areas that are possible to build in are either miniscule to the point where building anything interesting isn't viable or they have already been claimed by prebuilding. Personally I don't see why we need these regions, things worked out perfectly well before regions when territory wasn't restricted by the nexus plugin. I understand the benefit of discouraging inactive ghost towns but there won't be any towns with this current system, there just isn't any room to settle down. Not to mention that fact that even if the claimable plots happened to be of ideal size and occurred rather regularly the restriction on where you can build will likely severely damage the aesthetic value of many future builds. In order to fix this I think that the claimable plots within the nexus regions should be removed entirely. Instead town pillars would claim, say a fifty block circle around the pillar and should the town become inactive the pillar would be destroyed and the claim removed.

A GM told me things are still claimed because some douchebag builders hid chests of OP **** like diamond. May be why there are a lot of things still claimed.

We can't build our barony thing in a 10 by 10 plot.

I agree entirely, the regions are a bit meh. I've spent my time on the server running around and exploring, and there's some things that would be amazing if only we could settle in them. Think of some of the ancient ruins, large cave systems, forested mountains. There is a number of potential sites someone could settle down that are far superior then these preset regions.

 

Think how cool it would be to have a group settle in an ancient ruin and build it up again, currently we cannot do things like that.

What ever happened to buying plots with minas or vip packages?

Regions will be added throughout the duration of the map, varying in size. Very few within the main map with be of town size. Sorry but it's not going to happen.

 

 

Now let me explain to you why we have regions. When you say "everything worked perfectly" you were speaking about an MC generated world. There were no event areas, no detailed land. People got bored within a couple weeks. If you want that unrestricted land space it's still available in the wilds.

 

The Fringe was a test for the server to see what players would do with unpermed land. Nothing was safe, everything was destroyed. New players were met with a horrific looking map. We want 4.0 to look as great a year from now as it does now and that won't happen with total free build. 

 

What can you expect to happen?

 

More plots will be made all over the map periodically. Most will be a medium-smaller size not meant for super-towns but for small groups of players to settle down. Regions will continue to exist because free-build is the fasted way to destroy a map. Plots in the wild should be available soon^TM

This players questions have been answered and the situation resolved.

Should you wish to have this reopened, please PM me your reasons why it should be so.
