Please vote for one of the options:

Option A.
No realms, more similar to the current classic server (which is being changed into creative 2.0). Instead, there would be per-player rollback capabilities (for mods), ability to see who placed/removed blocks (for mods), and chest protection.

Additionally, there would be "plots", which are merely used for reference. However, people can assign motd's to plots. For example, when a user enters a plot, you could have it set to say "Welcome to Kurachi!".

Option B.
Keep the Realm system more similar to how it presently is. This enables players to control specific sections of land. However, this discourages community projects, and isn't really the spirit of multi-player.

Also, note that this poll is just for feedback.

It really isn't deciding anything.

[Cheez99]

Oh god, this is a tough choice.

The bias in your poll:

I sees it.


Voted for Option A because it mentioned Kurachi. Also that I prefer Vanilla over what we currently have.

What happened to the realm-grid countries thing?

[Emershaan]

The countries system seemed like about as close to a good fix for everyone as there could be, except for wars being mandatory. Set plots in a grid would clean up the map quite a bit and fix the issues with being boxed in, but on the other hand it sounds like it'd call forth the eldritch lag screaming into this world. I'd pretty much be all for the countries system if the 60 diamond price was reduced and fewer players were required to start, and there was an option to 'lock in' the country's current plots to prevent them from being conquered but also prevent the country for conquering other plots (preferably with some wait period like 12 hours or so when switching it on and off).

But as it is, I support realms. Even with advanced anti-griefing tools, I personally just doubt that the admins and mods will be able to reverse -all- the griefing on a server like this that's non-whitelist and actively targeted by griefers. In my personal opinion, the community being divided as it is isn't just because of realms, but really because people on this server just plain hate each other. Plus, it's definitely nice to be able to enable/disable things like buckets and PVP within one's territory.

Lest we forget, the server has been targeted by Avo, (etc) before we had the realm system, without advanced anti-griefing tools.

And we survived. =]
It actually adds an element to gameplay, which is currently missing due to realms IMO.

So you're basically saying, griefing = good...?
I'm certain a lot of people would disagree.

If you have nothing to worry about, it almost makes things boring. The constant threat of your stuff being destroyed only makes you cherish it more.

[Kress91]

I'd rather long on without a threat and worry about waking up to see shambles. Seriously, totes against lack of realms. I'll be quite honest, I quit servers just for the realm system, because it offered security with IRL withs and fun people on the server. It makes Minerealm unique.

If the realm system is removed, I really don't care how you slice it, the server will be no different than any other server in the world.

I'm strongly against the removal of the realm system. I don't even mind a lack of visitors. Its that lack of protection I hate. I like being able to build with every kind of block; not horde them for fear of griefers and thieves. I don't care if there's per player rollbacks. That, I swear to God, will be abused, and sounds way too iffy on being able to totally identify who and what happened.

Realms, please.

I have to agree. Realms are basically this server's defining feature. Imagine Portal, but without portals. If realms are removed this becomes just another random server.
