So the world we have right now is pretty nice, but it lacks the organization and flair I would like to see in my server.
You go on other servers and see these massive feats of minecraft architectural wonder. Then you log onto mine and see builds like this.
I think if we all teamed up and worked together we could start a new world and make the server look pretty cool.
You would still have to build all your houses legit, but we could make the spawn and the rest of the city look really cool.
The "player owned towns" failed miserably, because nobody except xgen wanted to run a town. and he just worldedited his buildings in. It looked pretty cool. But it drove alot of people away from the server, because they were looking for something more personal than a prebuilt house.
I agree with that fact that we have way too many plugins. So here is a list of the ones im planning on keeping and getting rid of. (you may post feedback for this below if you disagree with my idea)

I want to start a new world, and have one large town for everybody to live in and interact with each other in.
That being said, we have two options.
We can make a temporary new world, and you guys can run wild until http://tinyurl.com/67ur3fh is finished.
or we can start a new world now, and build it togehter.
with the first option, the houses will be prebuilt, and you start off with an apartment in the downtown of a large metropolis city. you would get a job, such as a miner, lumberman, farmer, hunter, etc. and work your way up to a lowerclass house, a middleclass house, and so on. you would have to sell your items to the server to make money, but once you have enough, you can buy a buisiness building of your own and start your own store by buying a plot for it in the city.
The second option is about the same thing, but insted of me and Xymnface, and Alexia, and Silphert building the town. It would be me and all of you. And we could do it any style of city we want. Doesnt have to be a modern type city. It could be midevil, or egyptian, or somethin like that, idk. But if we do that, I want it too look really nice. Like the people who have building talent, can work on the spawn area/city decoration(parks,harbors,monuments,subways) . and the people who arent so good, can build {roads, plots for buildings, streetlights). then once we're all done. Ill wipe everybodies inventorys. and we can have a fresh start.
I know i said i could transfer items and money over to the new world. but im not going too. that would just screw up the economy of the new world right from the start. and im either not going to let admins spawn items, or they arent going to be able to participate in the economy. They can have an special area in the town where they can build their houses with spawned items. But they will NOT be allowed to sell, trade, or buy with normal citizens, for ANY reason. Mods, will be able to though, as they cannot spawn items.
I also don't know about transferring builds over to the new world. I mean, that maze that ultra made was pretty cool, and im sure we could find a place for that in the city. If you have anything else that looks really good and you think we should tranfer over. Post a screenshot below.
I could also explore in making custom sub-classes for the different jobs, rather than a plugin. That way we could have different jobs, such as
theives- who try and rob the Owners [me] safehouse (which will have, idk, a few diamonds and gold, and maybe rare items like the ones you cant get. ie; double halfsteps, snowblocks, iceblocks. and of course lots of cake)
police- who catch the theives. I could get a plugin that gives them a daily pay, and add the permission node to just the police class.
real estate agents- they could manage selling of plots. It would make my life alot easier if someone else was doing that rather than me.
bodyguards- somebody who you can hire to protect you when you go out hunting or woodcutting at night. would have access to free arrows.
baker- sells food to people, buys goods from farmers
ok, so maybe those sounded kinda silly. The idea sounded better in my head, but whatever :p
And then there would be normal jobs like woodcutter, miner, farmer, hunter, blah blah blah.
The official classes would probably be
-Guest: able to walk around the server and view things. no building
-Player: achieved by choosing to live in an apartment, where you will stay until you buy a -lowerclass house. Basic commands issued.
-Lowerclass: achieved by buying a lowerclass plot. a one story house, small yard
-Middleclass: achieved by buying a middleclass plot. a two story house w/ attic
optional paid features: pool, basement, balcony
-Upperclass: achieved by buying an upperclass plot. 3 story house w/attic and basement
optional paid features: pool, indoor pool, treefort in backyard, fountain in front. etc. idk
ill figure out all permissions later once we have a
good grasp on what we want to do.
We will be getting a whitelist, that is for sure.
So thats all I can really think of right now. I'd really appreciate some feedback on all of this, and I want to know what you guys have to say. Hopefully we can make this all work out in the end so that everyone is happy.
