I think I'm missing something...

I thought

4. New realms have a limit of 10 members. This can increase.

means that the realm member limit will expand with the size of your realm.

All the good realm areas will be destroyed by diamond farmers

Diamonds are deep under. The surface will look fine.

Yes, the member limit will increase.

3. There will be new anti-griefing tools, per player rollback capabilities, etc.

As Lightbulbs just said.

If you want your own ungriefable plot of land then build on single player and don't waste the server's processing power.

(For those that ignore his posts)

And some more key points.

1. Why not join someone elses realm?
2. Griefing will not be tolerated. With or without realms.
3. There will be new anti-griefing tools, per player rollback capabilities, etc.

0. I enjoy being able to admire and explore others' creations as I build my own (and hope to in the future collaborate with others in bulding)
1. However, I prefer to build on my own terms, rather than just go along with whatever project is assigned.
2/3. It may not be tolerated, but it's bound to happen like crazy anyway. To use those per-player rollback capabilities, one would have to know who the player is that did the griefing, correct? Relatively few griefers are dumb enough to ply their trade in plain sight of other people. So it'll only have limited use unless you also have tools to find the culprit.

At first i thought 60 diamonds sounded a bit outrageous, but then I looked down the page and saw that anti-griefing was going to be put in. This is a big relief for the people who are against realms. People can build massive communities with no worry of mass griefing. Thanks for that. I would say bring the limit down to 32. It's big enough that people have to actually work for a reward, but not so high that some noobs will never be able to create a realm. Realize that some people don't like mining, and would much rather pvp or build.

1: I think the party should have a much higher maximum. Say like 20? Or 10? Somewhere in between? A lot of times people want to talk privately with a lot of people, but 6 is much too small.

2: like I stated before, I think 60 is too high.

3: Will there be anti-stealing? X-Ray mods could just see through and steal. Would it be hard to implement an anti-stealing plugin?

About Lightbulbs post: The only time a rollback will happen is when they grief. Griefing is bannable, so it doesn't matter if they have diamonds in their inventory or not. They will be banned. Also, if they're not banned, I would assume that the diamonds in their inventory that have been duped in that way would be destroyed.

@Emershaan: I think they would have a /block who command, As I stated previously. It would say who destroyed/placed that block last.

Because every single person on the server is honest enough to only use a feature given to them in order to stop griefing, and not to get infinite diamonds.
I wish I was as naive as you are.

*facepalm* I can't believe I didn't get that. Oh man I feel stupid now. Hmm. Yeah that would be a possibility, but I would imagine that mods and admins would be the only ones with the power to do that. Also, since they are very trusted, there is a low chance they would do that. Or, that power could be given to admins only.

Either I'm missing something, or the per-player rollbacks will only be available to the admins and possibly mods, not to the regular player, so the kind of exploitation illustrated by lightbulbs will not be possible.

New changes:

1. Parties! /party create, /party join, /party invite, /party remove, /p <chat>
2. Party of 6 players (max party size) required to create a realm!
3. 60 diamonds required to create a realm. Oh yes. =]
4. New realms have a limit of 10 members. This can increase.

And more:

1. Default realm size will be increaed. (50x50?)
2. Possibly removing the 100x100 limits stated above.

You've killed me Intelli. KILLED me. I've never owned 60 diamonds in all my time on the server; I prefer to build, not mine. I don't understand why realms, which is what makes the server so unique, are being discouraged like this. I'm not even saying realms should be free any more, but they shouldn't be 60 diamonds just for a 30 x 30 plot.

[dragoncrystal24]

@cheez: You don't HAVE to have a realm. With the anti-griefing stuff that's in, it would be easy to have a non-realm community. This makes realms more of a reward, I guess.

About party chat: I think admins should be able to access what parties are saying. If not, griefers would be able to come together and create their own party, with the admins not knowing anything about it. This way, if they are talking about griefing somewhere, they can get a ban easily.

Admins already log the chat. That's why Novasbiscuit used Ventrilo.
