The outerworld was causing major issues that I couldn't fix, so I had to close it This is a poll for the new map, majority will rule This map will contain all the warzones

I'm voting for making a new outerworld that is a water with island place. I don't want to lose all of my old stuff at this current world, though, but I don't mind the same thing as the old outerworld.

It's looking like we might be starting fresh.
I have been thinking about adding an economy to the server, where items would have set prices and users could buy and sell land and select an area to use as a shop. What are everyones thoughts on this?

An economy..hm...
YEA!!!
That's a wonderful idea, since I personally love trading, and I'm sure that proper pricing on items would help so there's less ripping off than there currently is. Pricing is confusing with current trades.

The new map will be starting sometime this week, I'm working on getting everything organized, plugins, permissions etc. Those who have been with the server the longest will start as mods given more admin commands than the standard player. The bulk of the lag seems to be coming from having multiple worlds, the current world has it's errors too so I think we need to start fresh. The new world will have individual islands that we can claim and possibly have a central island with community things. I would like to keep a certain "aesthetic" value to buildings that are created ( no random 1 block towers or weird ugly structures) I will enforce this by using a chunk regen plugin if I have too I few new features I'm going to implement are: - iconomy - iCoLand (buying/selling land) - LocalShops (allows users to designate an area where items can be bought) - ColorSigns Thank you all for staying with the server! I literally started playing by hosting a server and the learning process was huge for me. Real life keeps me from being on more than I would like, sorry if I haven't been on much but I'm have a great time hosting and don't plan to close it down for a long time. Thank you all

I have been doing some research with the economy plugins. It's seems that iConomy is the most compatible to use with other plugins. Each player would start with a set amount of money and have the ability to earn money by doing different things. Ways to earn money: -selling items Either selling via a shop using chests/signs/when players enter a certain area/ or totally command based. -time spent online -paid for logging in each day -hunting monsters -paid 2 mine -doing jobs that are posted ex.(mine 10 gold get $100) Ways to spend money: -buying zones of land that has different configs(letting certain people in etc.) -buying items from shops -and more I like the idea of an economy there are just alot of ways to go about doing it I think having zoned shops or command based would be the best way to sell items.(chest/sign seems really tedious) either way it's going to take some time for me to figure it all out and make it so everyone knows how it works. I especially love the idea of getting paid to kill mobs Any input would be greatly appreciated

grrm! I can't belove that we have to restart the server. I went on this server because it was fun. Not because I thought there was going to be a bunch of stupid crap on it!
Buying land, really? What kinda crap is that?
I just want a survival server. I like the one we have now. What do we have against keeping it?

What kinda crap is that? I just want a survival server. I like the one we have now. What do we have against keeping it? With the current world I'm starting to get loads of errors, chunks are missing it's almost starting to corrupt itself everyone has put alot of work into the server and I'm sure were all sad to see it go. I have learned alot since starting this server and now we can start fresh. I'm adding economy kinda as a trial basis if it works out then great if not then we get rid of it. I like the idea of buying land it will give you a small piece of the world to own.

The new server is almost ready only thing left is correcting the pricelist. I'm going to base everything on an ore ratio
Ex. Buy/sell Iron ore 20/5 Gold ore 200/50 (gold is pointless could use as an income source) Diamond ore 60/10 Cobblestone 1/.15
Th system is working out great I think everyone will enjoy it

Guys: the current world will be uploaded for us. The world is causin issues with the server, many times have it gone wrong. Im gonna be sad to lose the city i worked on aswell, but i also really want to start new and with a new setup. You wont HAVE to buy land, its just that if you dont, theres a minor risk that others build there aswell.

You guys will love it I promise! The new map is small islands lots of water, I like the I'd of everyone having their own island. Real life has been keeping me from getting this started soon but I spent 4 hours last night getting all the new features setup and will need another hour to edit the pricelist. I just want to make sure nothing gets overlooked. Hopefully it will be up this weekend
You can play as a normal vanilla server I'm not forcing anyone to use these new features. I have been testing last night and I love it so far, the idea is to have fun playing and not have to worry about hours of farming for materials. Instead of mining for an hour and getting 5 diamonds you can sell stacks of cobble to earn money to buy the diamonds. The option is yours
