When I joined Minerealm, I spawned in Abyssus. The small, nice community was welcoming, which is one of the main reasons why I stayed on Minerealm all together. I never moved, and I still live there now. Unfortunately, the area has become so griefed it is almost uninhabitable. Plus, is has effectively become a ghost town

What I propose is that we bring back countries. What that would mean is that there would be multiple spawn points (which you can 'join' like before) and new players would be randomly distributed around the specific spawns.

I imagine many former countries are also heavily griefed, so I a proposing between two different options: bring back old countries, or establish new ones.

Pros:
Newbies are distributed around the map, and these countries may be more inviting, which could boost our retaining rate with new players.
More possibilities when buying realms- be far away from spawn but in a nice community.

Cons:
Slightly (only a tiny bit) less vanilla.
May be a little more complicated for newbies initially.

Huh... I thought about proposing this, but then I thought I would be the only one voting for it.

Pros: Makes things interesting, helps the noobs feel included in their various starting communities, and makes (some) older players feel nostalgic.

Cons: Decentralizes the server's community, complicates things extremely for noobs, pretty much defeats the point of spawn city (the site of many important locations and an easy meeting place), and divides the entire server into several distinct factions, which I'm pretty sure is the reason it was removed in the first place.

Yeah, I believe the server should only have 1 spawn point.

I voted yes for what you described in that I want multiple spawn points back. However I do not want actual countries as was introduced in 4.0 (or whatever update that was)
