Spawn City, as we all know, is a complete mess. Holes everywhere, terrible looking buildings, griefing, etc.

It's not appealing to new members, at least those who are serious builders.

I know that something could be done, for example, experienced builders could purchase a realm downtown and build something nice on it - but there are very few realms as of now, and even fewer people who manage to do anything nice with their realm.

As with any city that isn't doing to well, sometimes the government steps in - admins, mods, whoever is in charge in this case- and they subsidize, or pay for public works to be completed. My proposal is similar. Those in charge could either help sponsor the creation of good public works, or help privatize downtown by giving experienced players a couple of realms downtown to build great public works, beautiful buildings, better roads, works of art, et cetera.

Foe example, instead of having have torn up gray and brown boxes all around downtown, we could have architecture more on the level of what I have in my personal realm:



This is just a suggestion, and is not something I would necessarily put forward as the only way to improve downtown. This thread can be used to create a discussion on how to improve downtown.

I really like this idea. My realm has been talking about moving closer to spawn so we can be closer to civilization, and showcase our work to the newbies.

I think a spawn committee could be formed and they could be added to the realms around spawn. I know we don't spawn items, but surely an exception could be made to clean it up some.

Mods should definitely be part of it, but they are always busy with omg he greifed me, no he greifed me first omg mod halp.

You should give me the coords to your base and give me a tour.

The last time someone thought it was a great idea to "redo" spawn and make it better. I'm pretty sure they got banned. So all I'm saying is, its a good idea, But you wont convince anyone to make spawn private, the Admins are pretty set on leaving spawn public.

No. That was gl1tch, who was banned for griefing realms around spawn. This thread doesn't really matter anymore as the person who made the thread rage-quited off of the server because it wasn't a mature enough environment for him to show his true blocky genius.

Actually, I spent some time making this:

Although it would be discouraging if you spawn somewhere you can't build, I like your idea. I'm kind of sick of spawn being a hellhole, always dark because people steal torches. I agree.

spawn needs to be private -_- even if its only the 100X100 blocks around it, beginners will stil be able to find somewhere to build..

There's no point to chasing of the spawn building scrubs now that the mods and admins can see who placed it.

Hell I'd taken the liberty of removing a half dozen houses as well as 2 of the Creepington towers back in 2.0 without being caught.

What lightbulbs Was: "Hrmmm I'm sneaky and devious and may be evil or may be the patron saint who knows?"

What lightbulbs is: *Queue stuttering old gentleman* "Wwwell back in my day I swear you I'd steal tens of diamonds, billy. More money than you could see in your wildest dreams!"

Panthers, maybe if you and these damned kids would get off my solid diamond lawn and stop blaring your hip-hop music, I wouldn't have to chase you out using my (Also Diamond) Cane.

AND GIVE ME BACK MY DENTURES
