Make the area you spawn in larger (make the back wall a bit longer, and move the fences outwards). Alternatively, remove the fences (and the spawn point could be changed to right in front of the sign wall, facing the wall, if you're concerned about making sure players read the signs). The current spawn area just feels a bit too cramped--you start in a very small fenced-off area in the middle of a very open, spacious garden/park area.

Semi-related idea: add more windows to the ceiling of the new /trade. It's a nice feature of the room (and I do very much like the new /trade room, by the way), but there isn't much to see except players occasionally walking overhead. If the windows were larger, it might be possible to see the tops of some of the buildings in the area.

I say keep it as-is.

Well, I had a crazy idea... Why not build a ship of some kind for new people to spawn in on? it'd be like They're arriving in a new land. Maybe in a harbor or something.

This is pretty smart, I like the idea. Probably won't happen, but a good idea anyhow.

Now it will encourage someone to build something useful on the opposite side of the old spawn now.. i'm glad that glass box is gone.

Yes, the glass box is gone...BUT there is a nice lookin' cobble hotel :s

The only problem is that its hard for new players to notice the rule board.

Have a 4-way exit and a central spawn area with signs. 'Nuff said

I like how the spawn has been 'turned around', it will encourage players to build the "back side of spawncity" nicer and mean that Spawn City will be less onesided.

Yes, that really is a good thing for the community. New players might be able to find public land more quickly, and older players will be encouraged to explore areas they haven't seen lately. But its also a somewhat sad change for me, because as a 3.0 joiner, the old spawn building was one of the few things that always felt familiar in the rapidly-changing center of the map.

Change it back to the original.
