    Well I was thinking of the town not to be anything massive where people will remain, just a few small shops with houses for rent as I said.

    As stated, those that don't want to be part of the faction and PvP will have their own island where they can freely build and not be attacked.
    If wanted, I suppose there could be some small shops on that island too but as you won't be part of PvP, then shops won't be as necessary for you as you have all the time and freedom to find the required resources.

    Look at the map that was posted by dec earlier. The island marked "1" is the starter island and will not have pvp on.

    Hi Pen, yes just find a nice open space and build on it, there is loads of space outside the town walls and some inside, just be sure not to build over anyone else builds, hard to go wrong, good luck with your small house :)
    Thanks. Is there any way to mark an area (like, commands or just plop down a sign)?

    I'm sure once I get in I'll pick up the ropes. Is there a mini economy, too?

    Just pop down a sign with your name on it. Or just start building :)

    There is a mini economy based plug in on the server which allows you to buy and sell items.

    What, and get raided contantly with no protection?
    And for the record, I don't like towns because they make my framerate drop massively. And when you only get 20FPS at best, this is a pretty big problem

    Starter Island =/= Starter Town.

    Alright, thanks c:

    Plug in? Do I need to download it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 841 ✭✭✭BlandKitten


    No need to download anything to play on the boards server, everything is done server side.

    What if I want more than just a smaller island to live on? Why not just put up a barrier around neutral houses on the mainland that people in factions cannot enter?

    Well tbh I think the majority will give the factions a try. An island that size should be enough shouldn't it?

    I'd like to join. My username is BatteryZombie.

    I am kind of new to multiplayer Minecraft so; can I just find a plot of land and build a small house etc? How does it work?

    That's something we are going to have to discuss come closer to switch time. I want to lean more to one side or the other. I don't want it such that people are asking to be switched from non pvp and pvp every other day. My initial opinion was that we should only have a pvp server but I guess we need to try and cater for everyone.

    We need to have a definitive separation between builders and pvp imo and if builders can go onto the main island and be unattackable I don't that is too fair. My opinion is that builders can do as they please on their island in a safe environment but if they want to venture out to hostile territory for the larger pools minerals then so be it. You will have to self defend. And that's how the guys from TNT do it. There is a large "safe zone" by spawn in which you can build in survival. When you cross the bridge you are in "the wild" which is fully PVP. I want to go down that route. By all means build if you want but you cannot go to a rich in mineral area and not be subject to the same dangers as other users.

    This is what I think anyway :o

    I believe that is what you are supposed to do? Break the glass infront of the door to claim the room?


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,377 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    Yup, the vacant rooms are blocked with two glass blocks across the door, smash them and put your sign on the door to claim ;)
