I think another fresh start would be nice. I mean, I've been away for only a week, and I've returned to quite a mess of the environment, with lava and water been spawned all over the place.

Personally, if it doesn't get a new map, that's still fine, but I'd like to create a small community town far away where members stick to certain rules, one of them being no lava spawning. Just as a personal preference, I think it makes structures look cheap.


I love this server :)

I'm with my bro Gaz on this one.

A lot of cheap, sky high structures have been erected that don't serve a purpose and make the server feel taccy and empty.

I know its personal taste but I would really like to see the community get creative with what they build in the new server, I feel I'm not just speaking for myself when I say I am bored of expansive cobble towers haha!
Maybe try replicating some famous architecture, creating an impressive but natural land scape or just making something that inspires a bit more awe. I know it's only minecraft but show me what you got maxloader hardcores!

However I have been impressed with a lot of the community spirit and hard work that has gone in to the world recently :)

Maybe wait until the monsters update for a map reset? Then the landscape will really need some thorough design!

Long live maxloader.nl !

I Totally agree with Gaz and Eddy.

But altough we could wait some time to start the new map, I'd say we should do it within the next week.
Why?
Because the Server is getting much more crowded, and nobody was prepared for that.
When I first joined this server, Drumdevil instantly led me to Castlecity, where i could buy a plot and settle up a bit.
But all the other guys who joined after me, they didn't even make there way to castlecity. Because nobody was there to welcome them and introduce them to the server. So this huge, abstract new City at spawn got build.

So I'd say, start a new map. Transfer only Castlecity (without the mine and the trading district), and put the spawn within 30 seconds range of castlecity.
Also, Eddy had this great idea that a new City would have to pass a Vote to get build. This would, however, force everybody to sign up at the forums (Which i think is a good idea.)

Anything else? Yes, on a new map, no free Lava would be a good idea. Maybe no free water too, but i kinda like water on Buildings, just my taste.

The Problem on this new kind of world is that not everybody can be the >boss< again. Why did everybody now start to build his own city? Because everybody wanted to be mayor of a city. This would not work out on the new system.
Another point was to build a Garden for Statues and pixelarts. Good idea there from eddy too. Just next to Castlecity would be nice.

And people began to moan about "Pointless buildings". how bout a simple "Ask a Mod/Admin before you build something big" rule?


...K. This got way longer than i wanted it to, so heres the TL:DR line:
Yes. New Map. More rules. Please.

Sorry for spelling mistakes.

I think a new map is great for us new guys. I'd prefer if it didn't become too tightly regulated. It's nice to go off into the wilderness and just build whatever comes to mind!

defenetly 1 big town would be good or maybe more but at the start just 1 big town.

Yeah that was really annoying, putting it out was so hard :(

From what I could tell, the fire had been started by a burst lava valve thing. All the more reason to restrict user placed lava.

As Wolf already stated i HAD some TNT, but i blew everything up in the mine and was trying to get more but wolf didn't spawned it near me.

If Alex/Max would give out the names from whoever who did it, it would be nice.

First, I voted no. I thought the map was nice as it is. But then I logged in and saw what happened.
Stoopid TNTers, griefers, or whatever you are: You are stoopid!

So I think we should make a new map, but:
- New rules: Less warps, nice themed cities with rules (underground, trees, castle, water, lava). But small villages are nice, too.
- Admins should check peoples inventories and chests, sometimes. (?) TNT should be forbidden.
- Maybe people can get some (...%) of their money back in the new map (MODs/admins can put it in peoples vaults if they create it). Maybe they can get some cobbles, trees, tools and gravel too, so we can start building and don't have to mine the entire spawn area to death before we can start building.
- Already make place for a highway for minecarts :), so we don't have to make a new map when biomass (hopefully new generated map parts will contain it), monsters (if we will use/activate them) and minecarts are maked working in SMP and being released.
*I'm not very sure about some of the above things, they're just ideas.

I'd really like to help building the new map :). Please don't release it tomorrow, I won't be online tomorrow :P.
