You dun like BSG Box?

You know what we should do? We should have all the realms public so people, like you, can build nice stuff at will. They can also have trees to harvest easily. I'm sure they will always replant. Also why would we want locked doors on our properties. We should, as you say, leave everything open. I'm sure everyone would be nice enough to not stomp out our crops and always replant.

Seriously now though that's not how this server works. A spawn city like you mention is planned from the start and the land is taken up by the admins right away. Never to be available to the regular joes who would like to be that close to spawn. That's why this one works for people. Everyone has a chance to get into the spawn area. Who knows who will be selling the next realm.

Lastly. Spawn City is not the only spawn on this map. Have you even seen Roanoke yet? It has most of the features you're talking about. Arenas and such are coming later.

This is one of the reason's we made our city without people on land first, cause it made us able to add infrastructure and roads. this is a great idea though. +1

I never said that. its yours.

One of my suggestions: no farms at spawn. If you really need one, you can build it under the ground. But above ground the land should be accessible. It represents you - and the whole server

I think 80% of the land at spawn is hold by 20% of the spawn-realm-owners. Or not?
10 people need to work together and we would soon have a better spawn.

For me there is only one real spawn point. Most people try to get to the normal spawn, an will stay there.
You are right, Roanoke looks much better. But most important for me are trees. i have not seen many trees there

Well, I like the idea of a giant tree. You could make a new spawn area and use lots of realms to make a "home tree" with the spawn point close to the top. Then you could have shops and such in the middle of the tree.

Nothing will stop the rise of Fortress NTC.

My Appeal: Build the Fortress, but not bigger than one realm, make roads, and keep it open.

The Spawn represents the server, new players will arrive there.

There are 3 spawns... -sigh- to do this to all 3, and all the ones coming after the releasing of the borders... makes it seem like people wont want to make spawns

[FaeynHeart]

Hm, I think for this reason, I tried to make my "close to spawn" realm have some more trees. Though..it does seem out of place with every other realm around it fitting a sub-urban theme.

Go make your own spawn.

Go live in Abysuss.

I agree with you, in some respects. I have trees on almost all my realms, and I think trees add a nice aesthetic, when done tastefully (I prefer in-game pine trees). I've even created a 'big tree' at -600 -0.

However, good luck on convincing a majority of people to do this. People like to do their own thing. I think your guidelines are a bit too... stringent. Eventually the empty places will be filled in. Minerealm has changed drastically around spawn in the last couple months, and I'm sure it will be drastically different in several months from now. That's part of the beauty of this game/sever. Things change, there's lots of different cooks, lots of different views and angles and ideas. People are free to do with their own realms as they like.

As for roads...I agree, we need to make those better, if only so that realms are more accessible. There's many realms even 400 blocks from spawn which were public, only because they're so hard to get to. Again though, about all we can do is ask that people be responsible with roads and connect to the people around them.

I'll do my part on my own realms around spawn.

TL;DR: I agree with you in theory, but...people can do as they like with their own realms. Sometimes that doesn't meet our own ideal aesthetic, but that's ok.

I call buying the park realms

EDIT: To not make this post totally useless, I propose a highway like in 1.0... Though certain problems will occur.
