I do agree with some of the previous posts. Since the End portals aren't constructable there's a good chance that it will be either inaccessable to most of the people on the server or useless because anything valuable will have been strip mined by the 2 or 3 larger groups long before the rest can gain access.

I really have no opinion on the guild system itself just an observation. I don't see what it adds to the game but if some people like it then whatever. They're already organized groups with shared resources and some kind of internal structure. The only real difference I see is that adding a formal game mechanic to give them bonuses for being organized will only make those groups stronger and harder to oppose by anyone else.....I'd honestly prefer this kind of thing was implimented more as a continent or nation idea rather than a guild/faction idea.(IE X number of plots as the same realm establish a continent or something like that and grant some kind of bonus to the members...of course I have no idea what those bonuses would be....maybe only continents can establish spawns or something)

And the difference between level 10 and level 30 is? The issue is that if it takes more than an hour or two to get into the nether from level 0, then the major groups will strip it of all glowstone before anyone else has a chance to even set foot in the nether.

Perhaps it could be set to whatever level you want, but for the first week of the new map there is no level limit for the nether? That way everyone can participate in the glowstone rush, but the griefers can't get to the nether once people actually start building there. After all, anyone building in the nether in the middle of the glowstone rushes is practically asking to get griefed and pvped over and over and over.

The end though is irrelevant. As already pointed out, there will be groups, most likley the same groups that ravish the nether, that will locate all three strongholds, make them private realms, and control all access to the end. Not that it matters since, as far as I am aware, the end has no useful resources and no way to get them from the end back to the overworld even if there was something worth taking there.

Even if the strongholds are enforced public land, you know that groups will just buy all 8 adjacent realms and seal it. They are simply too limited to not get snapped up right away.

There are more than three as of 1.9.

Oh really? And when was the new map generated? I am under the impression that there are only 3 strongholds on the map that has already been generated for us to use. On which pre-release was the map generated and on which was the number of storngholds increased above 3? The order maters, since the map we plan to use was generated some time ago.

Edit: It is possible I am wrong, since I can't find the post I could of sworn I saw that had the stronghold count but I am still pretty sure that there are only 3 strongholds on the map.

I'm a bit annoyed by the party cap. That means spending lots of credits to get my irl friends into a guild. Also, can we have more information about the new "realms"? Will there be leaders and such? Or will that all become an annoying wasteland?

Will realms be purchasable as plots?

I really don't like the idea of the map not being expanded. I've been longing for that to happen for a long time.
I reckon making the map size infinite might be too much.
but Can't we just increase the map size from 10 by10k to 20 by 20k?

as for the whole party/guild thing: what is this actually going to do to improve our gameplay?

Intelli, please leave everything how it is, but wipe just the public realms. Thanks!

I think that this is.....

1. Too chocolaty
2. Unfriendly to new players
3. Too complicated
4. Unnecessary

Also, the whole thing to reduce nether griefing is useless if nobody can get into the nether.


Thanks for reading!
