keep Realms, all I ask

Since Intelli asked...


1. Safety. The ability to make a safe, grief free area to build is a great bonus
2. Community. We all speak in chat but it's nice to have a group of people working together (as that's how I was invited here)
3. Competition. It's nice to have a list of realms, and work to make your own stand out on that list.

I just think for me at least that the benefits of realm outweigh any negatives there might be.

Please state all the reasons you would like to keep realms, and the benefits of keeping them. =]

If you're ditching the realm plugin completely, you might as well make it freely available.

I think that they just mean the current realms. I doubt that Intelli would ditch the realm plugin completely.

Please, please leave in realms. The protection from griefing and theft (partially) is a great thing. I love the sense of actually OWNING land as opposed to just living there and claiming it on presence.

From what Intelli's saying in-game, it seems pretty obvious he does mean he's getting rid of the realm plugin, or at the very least, removing its main features such as block protection.

Well, I did think the server was more community-oriented during the Kurachi-days. I really wouldn't mind dropping realms. Back then you could live in any city you liked, or as many as you liked, of course at the discretion of the leaders. As much as the realm-plugin added, I can't help but feel it took something away, too.

My mistake. I haven't been in-game. I was just going by the brief snippet in this thread.

Lack of protected realms would be saddening. It's the very reason I came back.
