Yeah, wraith, the first picture is the 3000,4000 location I posted earlier, but the one surrounded by ocean looks very cool too. It could be limited for expansion though which might become an issue, whereas the first location doesn't have that issue at all.

I like using ocean land, I build large farms straight into the ocean and we can build pillars and a dock-like flat land above it...
I like that idea, IDK what you guys think.
Like a raised city, with farms beneath it.

Yeah but then most of the city would just be flat. The premise of finding new land for the city is that the new wipe biomes offer a lot of diverse, interesting and beautiful terrain that the city would look really nice in. Also about the dock thing, would you mean like Lake Town from the Hobbit? I actually made a build like that which I can post. It looks cool but imo it doesnt compare to natural terrain :) .

I know it has taken me a while to respond to this. I wanted to wait to see what direction we are headed as far as a loaction for a community project.

That said, I have be honest, I am not really on board with it being so far from spawn. I was hoping we could pick a spot close enough to spawn that ANYONE could walk there throught the overwold in a reasonable amount of time. This would help with PvP tounaments and community events (not necessarily related to official MR events). I do not consider the nether a viable option in this case because PvP cannot be turned off (either literally or "lets all not PvP at spawn nether right now"). You just can't control what everyone does in the nether. The subway is an option but great distances would hinder travel there (I think of it as a home away from home, not a new home)

Just some thoughts,

I do agree with this, and I've considered it heavily while looking around. I think that this area has a lot of potential, and its the closest to spawn that we will get. It has a big lake, desert and hypermountians, along with a savannah right next door. As far as biomes go, this location is ideal.

However, the risk of building anywhere remotely close to spawn is the risk that it will be surrounded, and progress would entirely stop as it did with Abyssus.

That is my sole fear for this project.

Can you tell me where this is so I can check it out. There have been a lot of suggestions and a few that you have mentioned as favorites. The above sounds good. I just want to be clear before I weigh in.

Wow, I thought I linked it before guess that's a fail. I believe you can find it just west of spawn, only 1000-1500 blocks.

I also just found this spot.

It looks pretty good, no big hypermountain area and still quite far from spawn, but it has a lot of potential. I like how their is the plateau area and we have coast nearby. I'd like to make a cool docks area in that sort of northern bay. It's also close to Sub Aurora so infrastructure such as Subway and Nether roads will be easy to connect.

The fact that its a little more flat will also make it significantly easier to begin work right away.

If we managed to build a path from spawn past rokrr's stadium and a few other realms, we could link a big path to Dave's Cathedral and the remainder of the white pallace on the way.

I like both areas. I would rather it be closer to spawn. However, my particular building idea would either be built over water or over bedrock. If you guys don't want a big (tapered) hole in the ground then somewhere with a lot of water is best (which would fit your second suggestion).

maybe at this time we should vote on a decision so we can start moving forward in this project (but that is your decision mitchie, not mine).

[Meowrocket]

I prefer water because of my thing, but I can always do what I did at my lands and build a decorative tower for farming.
Modern looking and efficient.

Can anyone who is known on MineRealm get in on this? (If they are willing to put in time and resources I would assume)
